CHAPTER 46
SKYLIGHT PACK.
THE COLLECTOR.
"The Alpha will see you now," the wolf announces, startling me from the beautiful daydream I was having.
It was about me, slowly skinning the fit of Damon's wolf as it whines pitifully, nearing its death.
Soon. Very soon.
"Thank you," I say, giving the wolf a practiced smile.
He leads me to an office before knocking on the door.
"Enter," a voice is heard.
The wolf pushes open the door and gestures at me to enter, before leaving me with his Alpha.
Vance Sky.
A complicated character, for sure.
I had considered him to be just as depraved and twisted as some of his pack but then he went in a tirade and killed all those responsible for the deaths.
Those were some of my best customers.
The asshole.
"You said you have information about the missing girls in my pack," he starts.
"Yes, Alpha. I heard from a source that the Alpha of the Blackwater pack has them. I believe he kidnapped them and held them for ransom."
"You believe that Damon Blackwater kidnapped girls to hold them for ransom. Who is your source?" he asks.
"A rogue wolf who was living around the border of the Skylight pack."
The asshole dares to laugh at me.
"I don't know who you think you are or what you aim to achieve by spilling this crap, but you have come to the wrong place."
"Alp-"
"Damon Blackwater is renowned for his hatred for rogues. No sane or insane rogue would dare camp within a fifty-mile radius of his pack. Do yourself a favor, get lost."
"Alpha, I-"
"Are you deaf?" he asks coldly. "You have not only wasted my time but have sprouted lies against a fellow Alpha, trying to incite a war. By the code of our world, I should kill you where you stand. As it is, I can't even be bothered with you. Leave this pack. Now."
How dare he?
For a second, I am this close to ripping his soul from his body. Only years and years of intense training and self-control stop me.
"As you wish, Alpha. But I am telling you the truth. Even as we speak, the Alphas, Craig, Tobias, and Monroe are in his pack, summoned by him with the requirements needed to retrieve their members. If you don't believe me, you can have it checked. I will leave now," I say before leaving.
He will take the bait.
Oh, he might not believe the fact that Damon kidnapped girls but he would wonder why three of the strongest Alphas are having a meeting without informing the best of the Alphas.
Especially when there are female wolves involved.
The insult of being excluded is something he would not be able to tolerate.
Let the games begin.
BLACKWATER PACK.
DAMON.
"What do you mean he is in the Skylight pack?" I demand, subtly casting a side glance at Cathy.
She had tensed once she heard what Craig said. Her hands were fisted on her shirts and she had gone pale.
Try as I have, I have not been able to get rid of the fear she still has for the Skylight pack.
"It is as I said," Craig replies, bringing my attention back to him. "I had some of my… people track him down, discreetly of course, but they had lost him once he went into the pack. They, of course, couldn't go in."
"He sneaked into the back?" I ask.
"No. He was let in."
The silence after that statement was deafening.
"Let in?" I ask coldly.
"Yes. He walked right in through the front gate."
"That bastard," I growl out.
"Damon," Cathy calls out, gripping my hands to calm me down.
"Are you talking about The Collector?" Tobias asks.
"No. I am talking about that sorry excuse of a wolf, Vance."
"You don't like Vance?" he asks before continuing."Oh right, his father tried attacking you, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did."
"Still, that is not enough reason to hate Alpha Vance, I th-"
"I hate him, because of how he treated my mate!" I snap at them.
Another beat of silence before it is broken, this time by Monroe.
"Your mate? Luna, you are from the Skylight pack?" he asks, turning to Cathy. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
I turn to Cathy, feeling immensely guilty for exposing her. She gives me a small smile before turning to the Alphas, a determined glint in her eyes.
"Yes, I was part of the Skylight pack," she answers before taking a deep breath and continuing, "In fact, I was Vance's mate."
"Excuse me? Did you just say you were Alpha Vance's mate?" Monroe asks.
"Yes. I found out on my birthday and he immediately rejected me."
"Oh."
"I got a second chance with Damon. But it seems those of the Skylight pack are not willing to let me be."
"Wait, how did you get here from the Skylight pack?" Tobias asks.
She shares a look with me before she once again tells her story. I hold her hand firmly in mine, giving her my strength and assurance that I have her.
"This is… a lot," Craig says.
"It is," I concur.
"And this behavior, it is a norm in his pack?"
"Yes," Cathy answers.
"We have been monitoring their actions," I add. "Several of their corpses have washed up on our lands warranting us to look into it."
"Well, I am glad that you have found yourself a worthy and loving mate, Luna," Craig tells her.
"Thank you, and please call me Catherine."
"Very well. So, what do we think? Is the collector there for Tammy or Vance?"
"For Vance," The falcon answers.
I had forgotten she was here.
"What do you mean?" Craig asks.
"He went there to sow discord and it has already started bearing fruit."
"What"
I am cut off by Ryder bursting into the room, panting.
"Alpha, it's Alpha Vance. He is here."
