Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 599 Jocelyn In Trouble

What they didn't know was that they would be the ones to get shocked and not the other way around.

Audrey and Joanna were still far away from the packhouse when they started hearing angry voices of people arguing.

"This community was so quiet and peaceful the last time we were here. Is this perhaps the instability Marcus talked about?" Audrey mumbled without any show of concern.

If only she knew that the girl she looked forward to seeing was at the centre of this huge commotion then she wouldn't have been so less concerned.

"Now that we are here I am sure we will get the full gist of the event that took place in our absence from Jocelyn," Joanna replied.

Together she and Audrey forged ahead ignoring the voices that got louder as they got closer to the packhouse.

Joanna and Audrey were shocked when they reached the packhouse and saw the state the once dazzling building was in.

The main gate was pulled down by heaven knows what and the once beautiful fence walls were a shadow of its old self.

"Drey, are you sure we are in the right place?" Joanna muttered, unable to accept that this was the same building she admired so much on their first visit there.

"Sorry to say this but we are at the right place," Audrey replied and walked into the compound which wasn't heavily guarded by guards like the last time they were there.

As if meeting the packhouse in that terrible state wasn't enough, they were dumbfounded to see that the person the mobs had ganged up on was none other than Jocelyn.

"As long as his body hasn't been found, my brother will always be the Alpha. If all of you want to become the new Alpha so much then wait for him to return so you can battle it out with him," Jocelyn stood her ground even though it was obvious that she was outnumbered.

Although she was no match for all of them in terms of strength and number, she will protect her brother's position for as long as she could

"If you think you can become the Alpha without going through the right process, forget it because I won't be handing over the Alpha's seal no matter what you do," Jocelyn retorted, her chin held up to show them that she won't be intimidated by their threats.

"You insolent brat! How dare you speak to your elders in that manner?" The tall man in a grey shirt standing in front of her yelled and raised his hand to slap her.

At that moment, Joanna rushed forward and grabbed the man's hand before it could touch Jocelyn's face.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Joanna shouted and violently shoved the man's hands aside.

At first, she had planned to wait for the crowd to disperse before she would reveal herself to Jocelyn.

But seeing the man lift his hand to hit the lady who only defended herself from their attacks, she couldn't hold back her anger.

"You all are grown adults. If you were sensible enough then you wouldn't have attacked a little harmless girl," Joanna retorted and moved to stand beside Jocelyn whose only companion was Carl.

"Were you perhaps expecting her to keep quiet and watch all of you gang up on her without retaliating?" Joanna scoffed, her deadly glares shot at the men in front of her who were over twenty in number.

Although Joanna was standing beside her in the flesh, Jocelyn couldn't believe her eyes. She watched as Joanna's expression changed as she talked but not even this convinced Jocelyn's blank mind that the image in front of her was real.

Slowly Jocelyn raised her right hand and rubbed her eyes to really confirm that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.

"Young Miss, are you alright?" Carl, who noticed how strangely Jocelyn acted, asked worriedly.

The first thing the crowd did was to study Joanna closely. Apart from the fact that they couldn't recognize her, her accent and the way she dressed gave away the fact that she was not from the pack.

"You are not even from our pack. Who do you think you are to butt into the matters of the pack?" The man whose hand Joanna grabbed earlier challenged her.

"Me?" Joanna pointed her index finger at herself as if she weren't aware that the elderly man had referred to her.

"I am someone who can't stand seeing a little girl get ganged up on by adults who should be the ones protecting her especially if the victim happens to be my friend," Joanna replied, her chin raised high.

Even though the men looked intimidating and rough, Joanna didn't waver or show an ounce of fear.

"I don't care what your relationship with her is but if you want to leave this pack with your two legs then you will step aside and not butt into matters that don't concern you," The leader of the mob warned sternly.

"You…"

"I know you are doing this for my good but that is enough Anna. Believe me, these men are not people you would want to mess with," Jocelyn spoke up after she had regained her senses. She held Joanna's hand and made her stand at her back.

"Becoming the Alpha has always been determined by strength. When my brother became the Alpha, he competed against abled men in the pack who had the ambition of ruling our pack. He was made Alpha after he defeated his competitors and was pronounced as the most powerful man in the pack," Jocelyn started in a calmer tone.

"So many years had passed since he became the Alpha and never had he let the pack down. If any of you wants to become the new Alpha, then you will wait for him to return so all of you can battle it out in a fair competition. Aside from that don't even dream of pushing my brother out of his position in his absence because I won't tolerate that," Jocelyn made her points very clear to all of them.

"And you think you can stop us?" A guy in the crowd snarled, his disgusted eyeballs shot at Jocelyn.
