Chapter 18
Lefyr Goes Home
******
Silas and Ralph Chambers sat in first class on their way to Bismarck North Dakota. The video stream they had seen of the trial had upset Silas greatly.
His son had needed his support, but Joe had told him that he was not in any real trouble and not to worry.
The rough weather in Texas had delayed them getting a flight out any sooner and Silas was grateful for this one.
Ralph was with him because Reggie had recently mated with Patsy. As a father he couldn't be more proud of his sons and only hoped Ralph would meet his mate soon.
Joe was very much like him and he wasn't surprised that he hadn't asked him to come to his aid.
But he was his father and he should have been there. Now he would have to ask another Alpha for permission to visit his own son. This didn't set well with Silas but he would do what he had to do.
"Ralph you've met the Clarion Alpha, is he a fair man?" Silas asked his youngest son.
"He's really a great guy Dad. He gave us the benefit of the doubt, even though we worked for that monster Remy Sandorian. Napoleon Boscoyo is just as hospitable and we were at his compound for over a week."
"You boys have had quite and adventure these past few months. I envy you your freedom. I have been thinking of retiring soon and I was hoping Joe would want to take over for me."
"I don't know Dad; He is mated now and with his punishment he may not want to do that."
"Damn the Elder Council! He should never have been punished for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"I agree with you Dad. I think they overstepped their bounds this time. For the next two years Joe will have to sit idly by while everyone else gets to run with their wolves. If he and Louisa conceive, their child will be human." Reggie said anger showing in his eyes.
"His sentence was unfair and I can't wait until something is done that will change our ruling system. It's time for a new approach and I think I would even fight for that change."
Silas shook his head in agreement and commented to his son. "We are almost there Ralph. I hope we are not too late for the Blood Moon Ceremony. It would be interesting to witness such an event."
"I am sorry Dad, but it is already over. If we hadn't been delayed it would have been a possibility."
Silas frowned and cursed under his breath. Ralph smiled and tried to cheer his Dad up by saying;
"Megan and Jackson will go down in Were History as the last of the Blood Moon mated pairs. We are lucky to count them as friends and allies."
"Well my son I hope you are right. This is the first time in fifty years that I have left Texas and I want it to be worth the trip."
"So do I Dad. So do I." Ralph smiled at his Dad and closed his eyes deciding to take a nap before they landed.
Silas Chambers looked at his baby boy and sighed. He had always been wise for his age and would make a great Alpha in his own right. Hanna would hate to see him leave again but they would never deny him his destiny.
As soon as they landed Silas would contact the Clarion Alpha. He knew that he would have to make himself known being in another Alpha's territory.
He wished that Hanna would have come with them but she had been very busy with the ceremony for Reggie and Patsy.
She had been in her element and He knew that she would not want to leave the compound. Silas smiled at the thought of his mate and sighed missing her greatly.
Their sex life had improved greatly as of late and just thinking about his feisty Hanna, he couldn't wait to return to her.
Right now he had a son to take care of, and he wasn't going to take no for an answer this time. Joe was just as stubborn as he was, and one of them was going to have to give in. Smiling; he was sure it wasn't going to be him.

The morning dawned brightly and the guest quarters were still full. No one wanted to leave the compound until they knew that Joe Chambers had lived or died.
Omegas hurriedly attended to guests and the large pack continued their tasks as they had before the ceremony.
Charles Dupac left his suite quietly and went to the main house to check on Louisa and Joe. He felt a strange calm as he entered the large building.
No one seemed in a panic and he didn't smell fear or pain in the air. He saw Darien; Jackson's second in command in the dining hall and went to say hello.
"Hello Darien, I was wondering if you could tell me how Alpha Chambers is this morning."
"Alpha Dupac it is good to see you, and as amazing as it seems the Chambers Alpha is now healed."
"Thank goodness. I took my family back to our suite immediately and I hadn't heard the good news."
"The Alpha is going to make an announcement later this morning. Then maybe things will get back to normal around here."
"I'm sure that your pack is anxious to have some peace and quiet after the past two weeks."
"It hasn't been so bad Alpha Dupac. A little excitement never hurt anybody." Darien quipped and they laughed.
The two men parted ways and Charles went in search of Louisa and Joe. He knew that Jackson should be busy right now being newly mated and all.
Stopping in front of the suites occupied by Louisa and Joe; Charles was greeted by two red haired wolves lying at the threshold.
Growling initially they quieted when they scented the Dupac Alpha. Moving to give him access Charles knocked on the door.
A very healthy Joe Chambers opened the door and smiled as he saw his new friend waiting there.
"Alpha Dupac please come in. Louisa is asleep and we are trying to be quiet so that she can stay that way."
"Good luck my friend we are wolves after all and our hearing is quite sensitive."
"She is exhausted and I think there is a good chance that she will keep sleeping. How can I help you Charles?"
"I only wanted to make sure that you were still among the living Joe. Last night was quite chaotic and I had to make sure my family was safe before checking on you. You were ever on my mind and I worried for your survival."
"I was told that Megan and the power of the Luna Stone are responsible for my recovery. I am waiting to thank her tonight."
"The prophecy spoke of her having powers, but no one knew what they might be."
"I really wish that I could tell you what happened, but unfortunately I slept through it all. I awoke to a burning sensation, and let's just say I was glad to be awake."
The two big men laughed and stopped when two women emerged from the bedroom. Hazel and Becky were slowly walking toward the two Alphas and wishing them good morning before leaving the suite.
