Chapter 107 Ethan Owed Me Big Time
**Talon POV
Ten days–it had been ten long days since Ethan had left.
Eight of those days were spent with no contact.
Not that I was worried about him. I knew he was more than capable of taking care of himself. Other than the assassination, I also wondered if he found out anything about the necklace.
With Ethan gone, the meetings had become painfully long. While Ethan was here, everyone did what he asked, but right now, too many people had opinions.
Glancing quickly at the clock, I noted the time.

In just an hour, I would once again be sitting with the other leaders going over the latest update of what was happening on the frontline.
“Beta Talon,” a voice called from the doorway drawing my attention from my thoughts.
“Come in.” My eyes gazed up to see one of Richard’s men who had appeared by my door.
“News from the head office. The men you requested to cut off supplies were dispatched effectively, and a letter came for you as well.”
“Good,” I commented. What he reported was nice to confirm, but this wasn‘t news to me. However, he didn‘t leave. Then, I realized his eyes lit up with excitement.
Timmediately stood up from my desk and closed the door behind us.
“Beta, Alpha has a message for you. He also requested reinforcement for his retreat in two days,” he reported in a cheerful, but low voice.
I nodded, and after a couple seconds, I added, “Make sure no other people know about this.”
Other people did not need to know where Ethan was. We didn‘t know who we could trust behind the capitol walls other than our own men. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Taking the private letter and the report with the latest intel from him, I watched as he quickly left my office, closing * the door behind him.
I quickly went through both documents and frowned.
Things were more complicated than we anticipated because of Soren. However, this confirmation would allow us to plan our next actions accordingly.
After that, I checked both reports carefully again. There was no mention of Rosalie.
I sighed in both disappointment and relief. It was just a faint hope anyway. Even if Ethan had found something, it might not necessarily be good news.
I shook my head. “At least he‘s on his way back.”
He had been gone too long, and I definitely was looking forward to having my Alpha here again. I much preferred executing orders than making them.
Also, there was trouble I couldn‘t handle any more. Like Madalynn.
“Talon!” Madalynn‘s shrill voice echoed from outside the office door.
Oh god. Here we go again. I tossed the report into my drawer and locked it right away.
The door was thrust open as Madalynn barged in with a scowl on her face. “Have you heard anything from Ethan yet?” she snapped, demanding information once again.
“No Miss Madalynn,” I replied, taking a deep breath and forcing a smile to my face, “but please allow me to remin d vou that this is my private room.”
“Don‘t use that tone with me,” she snapped, crossing her arms over her chest. “I am your future Luna.‘
Luna or not, it wasn‘t up to me to decide. All I knew was that she was nothing but a pain in my a*s.
My Alpha liked me to run defense, but he owed me big time, leaving me with her.
“Of course,” I forced a smile, clasping my hands in front of me on the desk, “my apologies, Miss Madalynn. You‘re more than welcome to barge into my personal space.”
The fact was that I didn‘t have it in me to argue with this woman. It made more sense to fill her ego and pretend that she was right.
Knocking at the office door drew both of our attention as Vicky‘s face peered in. “Oh, there you are Madalynn… the florist was here and said something about petunias.”
Madalynn jumped to her feet quickly, her eyes widening in horror. “Oh no no no, that‘s not what I wanted!”
Raising a brow, I stared at my sister, who hid her smirk as Madalynn rambled on about wedding prepar ations and exited the office.
“I take it you were lying?” I asked with a grin as Vicky closed the office door and glided towards my desk.
“Me.. lie… of course not,” she replied in a fanning shock. “Misunderstandings happen though.. Hmm maybe the florist didn‘t mention petunias.”
Laughing, I shook my head, “You need me for anything, Vicky?”
“Georgia wrote,” she replied softly, pulling a letter from her pocket and sliding it over towards me. “I haven‘t read it. I saw the guard carrying it and told him I would take it.”
I felt my heart skip a beat, then my breathing increased slightly.
Georgia had been gone for almost seven days now, and my wolf was going crazy. She told everyone she was going back to the pack, but she di dn‘t.
We had no idea where she’d been if it wasn‘t for Vicky finding out from Lily that Blake left with Georgia. That was the only clue, and we guessed that she went to the northern villages.
My rebellious mate had been on a mission, and was able to get past me without my wolf sensing she was on to something.
Now knowing where she might be, it took everything in me to reign my wolf back in and keep him from chasing after her.
“Let me see.” I replied, as I loosened my tie to allow more fresh air to get into me.
Vicky didn‘t hesitate in handing over the parchment. My finger broke the wax seal as I anxiously untolded the letter.
“Talon and Vicky,
Sorry to have worried you both, but as you have probably guessed by now I am in the north.
Liust wanted to let you know that I‘m safe. We ran into a little rogue trouble, but it all turned out fine, no biggie. The only problem is that my phone broke.
I didn‘t find who I was initially looking for, but I found something else that I thought was very cool.
I‘ll be away for a little bit. Catch up with you when I‘m back.
Georgia”
I crumbled the letter slightly in my right hand.
Georgia – MY Georgia.. She ran into rogues. How did she manage to escape?
A drowning sensation surfaced within my gut as my wolf howled in outrage that we hadn‘t been there to defend her. I wanted to leave, but I couldn
How could she be so bold and reckless?!
“What‘s wrong?” Vicky urged softly as her eyes skimmed over me. I tossed the letter at her. She gasped upon reading Georgia’s message.
“I should be there with her,” I growled in annoyance. “I should have taken better care of her!”
My fist came down on the solid oak top of my desk as I stood to my feet. The chair slammed into the cabinet behind me.
Vicky walked over and grabbed my arm, “Talon, you have to calm down.”
“Don‘t tell me to calm down!” I snapped, but immediately, I regretted taking things out on Vicky. She had done n
My wolf was out of control. The fact our mate had been hurt caused him to fly into a fit of madness, and it took everything in me to block his escape.
“Why are you acting like this?” Vicky retorted.
I couldn‘t tell Vicky I was mated to Georgia. I had made a decision to keep it a secret until Georgia came of age. If
“She‘s Ethan‘s sister. What do you think his reaction would be when he‘s back?” I realized that my voice raised uncontrollably. Luckily, I was talking to Vicky, one of the few people I trusted with all my hea
Vicky reasoned with me, “Alpha already has a lot in his hands, but your reaction like this wouldn‘t help him at all. Georgia is safe right now, and I know her. She may be young, but she knows what she‘s doing.”
I took a few seconds to calm myself. Georgia was safe, and that was all that mattered.
“Honestly, I think you both should have more faith in Georgia. She‘s more than capable of protecting herself,” Vicky concluded.
She was right. My Georgia wasn‘t a little girl anymore who needed someone to defend her. She was a woman who didn‘t take sh*t from anyone and had a mind of
The only thing I could do was be supportive of my mate, and hope that in time, things would work out for the best.
Yes, she was a daredevil, but she‘d proven she was one of the best warriors in the pack already,
I didn‘t want her to be in danger, but I also couldn‘t hold her back,
Watching Vicky step back from me shaking her head, I expected a lecture to follow, but I was pleased w
made her way towards the door and opened it without scolding me.
“You know,” she said softly as she paused at the open door, “I don‘t know what‘s going on with you, but you need to figure it out. You‘re not yourself and you can‘t go back into the war room like this.”
A bitter smile crossed my lips as she disappeared, closing the door behind her.
