Tattooed Luna by Mrs Smith

As soon as we drove up to the train, the first thing I noticed was our men. Everyone was done with their assignments and were standing around. A group of women of all ages were cuddled together, sitting on the ground.

"Alpha." Hank's beta cup toinstantly and bowed. For the life of me, I couldn't remember his name.

"These are all the women that were freed. All will need medical attention but nothing life threatening." "Get them in a vehicle and get them back to my pack for treatment. They will be interviewed and provided for there.” I commanded instantly.

"Okay. I will be traveling with them to assure their safety." I noticed more than once he kept looking back at them with a weird expression on his face. "Hank is on the train, waiting for you to arrive. All warriors are instructed to board the train and be prepared for where ever it goes." "Good. Take swarriors with you." I said and walked off. I could hear him command people around but my attention on was on Carson and Alec as they were a few steps ahead of me. Sof the men were sitting down, talking and laughing like the fight was already over. Maybe there was so many men that it was easier than I expected. Though, Joe and Vin might of thought I wouldn't have found all this. I wasn't even sure what to do with all this land and newly acquired casino. Maybe I could turn this into ssort of camp for training young alphas or teens learning to fight. I'd have to ask Penny since this was technically her land.

Walking up to the engine, I almost had to plug my ears with how loud it was. The metal bars were cold under my hands as I climbed the ladder. "Hank." I said as soon as I cinto view.

"Congratulations!” Hank had a huge smile on his face as he cup to me. I was expecting a handshake but he pulledinto a full hug.

It was a little awkward but there wa still something comforting about it.... not that I could show that. "Thanks, man." I said and gave him a few slaps on the back.

Hank letgo but held onto my shoulders. The look on his face was like a proud grandpa. After a few seconds, he letgo and went back to the train. “Ready to start this beast and find out there she goes?" Alec and Carson were both standing off to the side with their arms folded. Alec was rather amused and Carson didn't even try to hide the smile on his face. "Let's go." Rolling my eyes at them, I walked over to the window and looked out.

Hank pulled on the string, making the horn blare. All the men quickly jumped onto an open car. The last few men had to run a little before jumping since Hank wasn't waiting. The train moved slowly down the tracks, givinga beautiful view of the landscape.

"Do we have an idea of where this goes?" Carson asked.

"Not a single one. I had someone run down the tracks sbut after ten miles, it kept going so he turned back around." “I have a feeling it just runs in a complete circle. If this is where they make the mutants, then they board them on the train to transport them to where they can put them into vehicles and take them where ever they need to go." I didn't even bother looking at them as I spoke.

“We need a fucking party for the men and for everyone when we get back.” Carson said as he yawned.

"How are you yawning?” Hank bickered like they were kids.

"Didn't sleep the best last night." "The day is almost over so I guess you can sleep on the way home." I looked back just in tto see Hank shake his head. "I'm not as young as I used to be. Granted, this is the most fun I've had in years.' "I'll seco-" Hank started but Alec cut him off.

"Look." Pointing out the window, Alec saw a building in the distance. "Men. Be ready." Carson said. His tone instantly changed to that of an alpha ready to go into battle.

The train started slowing as we creeped our way closer and closer.

bend As soon as we got around the bend, an incredibly old event denter stood beforeus. The paint was chipping, part of the roof was missing and most of the windows were broken. Still, it looked like a lot of traffic had taken place to have the doors opened to their fullest capability. .

The train cup level to the cement. The cool air almost made this a spookier place, not to mention the faint cries I could hear. "You hear that?" I asked anyone.

"Sure do." Alec muttered under his breath.

Taking a deep breath, it was now or never. "Let's go." I was the first one to step off the train, signaling everyone else to do the same. Not wanting to go in alone, I waited for the rest of the warriors to be ready with guns in their hands.

.

No one spoke a word but as soon as I saw everyone was ready, I took the lead and walked into the vestibule avers Dust covered the floor but the footprints and paw prints were etched into it. Swere fresh and shad another lay of dust that indicated how old they were. .

Alec snapped his fingers, getting my attention. As soon as I met his eyes, he pointed into the next room next room om Following his direction, my eyes landed a chain link cage with mutants in it. Swere on the floor, dead or asleep. Other's didn't realize we were here so they were just licking their paw or pacing. .

Wondering what they would do, I signaled everyone to wait and I walked into the room.
