Chapter Twenty Eight

I look at her shocked at what I am thinking. "It can't be."

She looks at me with pleading eyes. "Rain...is it, Alpha command?" I ask cautiously.

Her eyes go wide and I can tell that she is panicking and wanting to say something but she doesn't. She starts to cry and I can see the frustration on her face. I look at Grant and he is just as surprised as I am.

(I have so many questions but if it is Alpha command, then she won't be able to reveal anything.) "Is it my dad? Does it have to do with Abraham and my dad?" I ask. She closes her eyes and looks like she's trying to say something but she can't. (No doubt, it is Alpha command.)

Thold her hand. "Ok, I get it, it's Alpha command." She looks at me with her watery eyes and hugs me tight.

"I'll find a way. We'll figure it out." I say holding her. "Are you going to ask them directly?" Grant asks.

I shake my head. "If they commanded her, then there is something serious that they don't want anyone to know."

(I have to be smart about this. I could use my Alpha tone to make them tell me the truth. Well, it won't work on my dad but it will on Abraham.)

"Grant, send for Abraham." I say to him, he nods and leaves the room. Rain looks at me a little panicked. "Baby, he won't do anything. I promise." Thug her and comfort her. Grant comes back and doesn't look too happy. He is followed by Heidi.

"Abraham left an hour ago. Jocelyn was distraught about Evan so he took her to the city. He'll be back in two days." He says.

"No, call him back. He needs to come back." I say. "I did, he has his phone off." Grant says. I growl annoyed. "Dammit! Ok, let me know the moment he gets back." I look at a very nervous Heidi.I get up and walk over to her. (I am not taking any chances. I'm using Alpha command on her.) *"Heidi, tell me now, do you know of any secrets your father is keeping?"* She trembles at my tone. "No Alpha." She says immediately. *"Did your parents really leave to the city?"* She nods vigorously. "Yes, Alpha." (She's a clueless girl, It's all about clothes and makeup with her. She doesn't know anything.) "You can go." I say. She turns around and nearly runs out of the office. "Grant, tell the pack that we'll have the sending ceremony tonight at midnight."

He nods and leaves us. I walk over to Rain and she hugs me and I hold her tight. She's trying to be strong but I can feel that she's in pain over Layla.

(I want to make her forget, even if it's just for a little while.)

Chapter Twenty Eight Sne enas up rauung asieep on me ana i start thinking of this Alpna commana.

(I was hard on her before because she wouldn't tell me and turns out that she really couldn't. What would be so bad that my father had to use an Alpha command? Was it something he did? No, it has to be with Abraham. She's adamant about him. I trust her and I know that she is telling the truth. He had to have done something terrible.)

I decide to let her sleep for a bit and then I go talk to my father. (He needs to explain, I was going to talk to Abraham first but I just can't wait anymore.) I call Grant and tell him to bring my father and mother to the office.

I sit waiting for them and my mother arrives first. "My goddess son, this place looks terrible." She says looking around the office. "I know, I will have it all fix within the week." I say. (I really made a mess.)

"How is she doing?" She asks. "Much better than I thought she would be. The only thing keeping her down is Layla's death." Mom nods. "Poor child."

My dad finally arrives with Grant behind him. "You wanted to speak son?" He asks. "Yea, I figured something out and I wanted you to explain it to me." "Ok?" He says confused. "It's about Rain and the Alpha command you gave her." His eyes go wide in shock. "1....." He looks at my mother and she looks at him with confusion. (I guess she doesn't know.)

He sighs and walks closer to me."I'll tell you everything you want to know but not now. I don't want your mother involved in this."

Since the ceremony is starting soon, I agree. "Fine, but I want you here in my office tomorrow morning." I say sternly. He nods. "Alright."

I get up and go wake Rain up. We head to the back yard and we stand outside where the whole pack gathers. Avery walks over to us with Levi looking a little better and he hugs Rain. I also see the mates of the warriors that died. "Everyone is here." Grant says.

Inod and start my small speech. "We are here tonight to send off the spirits of our brothering's to the moon goddess, may they live in peace knowing that they are loved and will always be remembered."

The crowd howl and we all start walking to the forest.

Igo to Rain and hold her hand. "Rain, stay with me at all times, ok?" She nods.

"Avery and Preston, stay with Levi." They nod. Preston starts to strip and shifts. Avery goes find a tree and does the same.

"Grant, you and Violet come with me and Rain." He nods. I look at his mate Violet. She is always quiet
