Under His Moon

Chapter 19

HARPER'S POV

"What the fuck! Who would want to kidnap Jay?" Gerard demanded at the patrol officer who was taking our statements.

"Well, umm. He is part of the Alpha family." The patrol officer said nervously.

"Yeah, I know that because he's my brother, but why him?! He's sarcastic, cranky 99.9% of the time, and there are legit better people in the family to take." Gerard stated, making Mom smack him.

"That's not the point! One of my kids have yet again been taken from me." She sniffled,

"Oh, mom." I sighed, pulling her into a hug.

We were all gathered in the living room and trying to figure what happened.

"Ok, so we know how the kidnappers got in." An officer said, entering the room.

We looked at him, waiting for the answer.

"The side door beside the kitchen was left open. Most likely someone in the family left it open." The officer said and we all looked over at Louis.

He had a knack for going through that door and never making sure it was closed.

"I swear! It wasn't me this time!" He exclaimed, raising his hands in surrender.

"Oh, yeah...my bad." Uncle Thom said, raising his hand.

"Umm, Olivia and I had come from my nightly jog and well she was in front of me and everything went rated R after that." He said, laughing nervously.

Olivia smacked him and apologized on his behalf.

"Why do I get the feeling they kidnapped the wrong person." Carlo muttered,

He was sitting on the couch and we turned to look at him.

"I mean...Jay has no friends, no job, and hates socializing. So why did these two guys break into our home just kidnap Jay?" He asked,

We all took a seat as it dawned on us.

"So, who were they really after?" Louis asked,

We sat silently trying to think until Dad groaned.

"I thought it was a coincidence." He sighed,

"What Dad?" Noah asked,

"We really wanted to keep this a secret." He muttered,

"Wait, you're going to tell them?" Uncle Thom asked,

"I have to! My son got taken!" Dad exclaimed,

Uncle Thom raised his hands in surrender before pulling back.

"Prepare yourself kids." He muttered,

We all deeply confused and looked at Dad.

"So, umm... after Harper came back to us, we had to reason to continue the cold war between our pack and the Claw Pack. So when we got word that Dylan found Harper and was going to bring her home, we launched an attack on the pack. It was payback for those years of pain they brought upon us and we diminished their pack to two thirds their size. Wiping out their warriors and winning dominance." Dad confessed,

We all gaped at him silently. Mom abruptly got up and went to his.

"This fight was bound to happen and they would've continued to lash at us if we didn't first and hit them hard." She stated,

"Its not that we're upset or shocked about... its that you apparently kept it from us... from me." I stated,

"We're sorry. We just wanted to right was wrong and bring justice to our pack." Dad mumbled,
