Chapter 49 +15 Bonus Chapter 49 A silent agreement passed between them to leave, and they quickly said their goodbyes. Once inside their car and sure no one could hear them Theon spoke. "What the hell is that message about?". Theon looked worried. "Why do they want you gone so badly I wonder?" "Well, we assumed it was witches with a plan" Naomi laid out what she was thinking "But what if it's just pack members who don't want me here. I know a lot of people who were loyal to Lilian were under the spell but were there people still loyal to her after the spell broke?" Theon paled a little. "There were several members of the elder council who had no issue with what she had done." He stated with anger edging into his voice "they said it showed just how hungry she was to be Luna and that you didn't deserve it as you never put up a fight." Naomi could see Theon balling up his fists in anger, his knuckles turning white and his cheeks turning red. She placed a calming hand on his arm. "They believed that locking her up for treason was wrong and that she was doing a good job so nothing should have changed. They were also against me looking for you. They sent Neo into a rage. He almost tore the Elder meeting chambers apart when he heard that. Naomi wondered if it was wrong that this made her heart beat a little faster. Somehow, she found that romantic. Get a grip girl, she told herself. Theon turned to Naomi and was about to apologise again but before he could form the words she stopped him. "if you're going to apologise again. Don't. That's enough now." She smiled at him as he looked sheepish. "Plus, we have more important things to focus on like finding Lottie. Do you know who specifically, was in the Lilian fan club?" "Uch there is one." Theon said looking mildly disgusted "and you wont be surprised by this name, Janet Leery" Naomi rolled her eyes so hard it hurt. "Of course, my high school bully was happy to see me go" she said with a hint off disdain in her voice. "She doesn't like me much anymore either" said Theon looking a little amused "I found out some of the crap she pulled on people in high school and the way she bullied you and had her do community service and she was pissed at me. It was hilarious though. I wish you could have seen her painting the church and collecting trash" Naomi smiled at the idea, but her amusement was short lived when Theons phone began to ring. "Whose calling at midnight?" she asked Theon "Pulling out his phone Theon looked at the name on the display and frowned it "It's mom" Answering the phone Theon's voice was laced with concern, he put her on speaker for Naomi to hear as well. "Mom, is everything okay" "I'm not sure" she answered sounding weary "Alex is insisting on talking to you. He woke me up and said he needs to talk you both straight away, can you come here?" Theon had barely disconnected the call before he started pulling the car out of the parking lot. It was a tense drive from the hospital to the pack house. They rushed into the house to check on Alex to see him sat happily in an armchair, eating animal crackers and swinging his little legs back and forth. "Mom! Dad" he yelled in happy surprise as he ran towards them. Jumping up into Naomis open arms he started giggling. Don't worry about Aunt Lottie" he said "What do you mean" asked Naomi startled. "Lottie was in my dream" Alex said "Aunt Lucy's bad friends took her". Theon and Alex looked at each other in surprise. (( "Okay, Alex, this is important" said Naomi trying not to frighten Alex with the urgency of her tone when she asked her next question. "Did Lottie know where she is?" Alex looked thoughtful for a moment. When he half remembered something, he would scrunch up his face like that would make the memory clearer for him and he was stood in the room doing it now. Naomi had to tell herself not to get distracted by how adorable he was. "She said... She is in an old barn and she is okay. And she has...gossip? Mom what's gossip?" Alex asked. Naomi couldn't help herself. she burst out laughing. Typical Lottie. She's been kidnapped by witches who may want her dead and she's talking about gossip. "Does an old barn narrow it down for you at all?" Naomi asked Theon and his mother. Not having got out much as kid Naomi didn't know the territory that well but she knew the Alpha family knew every inch of the place. "It does more than you think actually" said Theon "We pulled a load down about two years ago after a fire so there is only a few still standing, the rest have been replaced with more modern ones." Margots eyes went very wide and her face visibly paled as Theon said this. "One is getting torn down first thing tomorrow. The red one near the Vickers farmland." "Makes sense." Said Theon "Great way to kill someone and hide a body without ever getting your hands dirty." "Alex. I need you to be a good boy for grandma and go back to bed and when you wake up we will have Lottie okay?" Alex nodded at Naomi very solemnly. She kissed her son and without speaking she and Theon left the house.
