The Wolf King's Luna

CHAPTER 47

VANCE.

I watch as the strange man leaves the office.

"I believe he kidnapped them and held them for ransom."

"If you don't believe me, you can have it checked. I will leave now,"

It was very bold of him to come here and lay all these allegations. Especially to me.

Everyone is aware of the bad blood between Damon and me, on account of my father.

But honestly, I couldn't care less.

The more I find out about my father's past actions the less settled and disgusted I am.

He was obsessed with power.

Obsessed with being the best.

A path that I was quickly following until I got a rude awakening.

So no, I have no issue with Damon Blackwater.

My father tried to kill him out of jealousy, and he died for it. End of story.

But this stranger, who came here spreading detrimental rumors with the intention of causing chaos, can't be trusted.

Still…

"Cody," I call through the mind link.

"On my way Alpha," he responds with alacrity.

I don't wait long before I hear a knock on the door and he walks in.

"Alpha," he greets. "You called for me?"

"Yes. I need you to send scouts to the Blackwater pack. Find out if there are other Alphas there."

"Yes, Alpha," he responds, turning to leave.

"And Cody," I say, stopping him. "Be discreet. They must not be caught."

"Of course Alpha."

I watch as he leaves before turning to my files.

I try as hard as I can to get the man out of my head but I can't.

There was something about him. Something familiar.

His scent.

Where have I smelt it before?

With a put-upon sigh, I get up and head for a walk around the pack, taking in the recent changes in place.

I thought it fitting to have the former Beta's residence to be turned into a shelter for the orphans.

The weak.

I hope he is turning in his grave.

"Alpha," I hear from behind me.

Turning around, I see Lucas, one of my Delta warriors.

"Lucas," I call. "Shouldn't you be canvassing the border?"

"I was doing that when I saw something. Someone."

"What did you see?"

"That man, the one who came to see you. I have seen him before. He was the one that James was tracking. "

What?!

James was the tracker who had been found dead with his organs dried up.

"How do you know this?" I demand.

"We were both watching the Lu-, Tammy that night before James went on to follow him."

"And you saw him that day?"

"Just a glimpse, when he turned away to leave. Also, his scent is very distinctive. It was on James' body when we found him."

Of course.

That's where I smelt it.

That bastard.

The gall he has, coming here, trying to toy with me.

Wait, didn't my wolf say Catherine had been rescued from him?

Dammit!

"Thank you, Lucas, for bringing this to my attention, " I say as I storm away from him, my feet leading me to the entrance of the pack.

How dare he! He came into my pack after he had killed so many of my people.

What is he planning?

I have to find him.

"Cool it," my wolf warns, startling me from the spiral I was whirling in

Huh?

"You don't want to tangle with that creature, not now," he continues.

"I thought you weren't talking to me, and why wouldn't I want to kill him?" I demand.

"I wasn't but you are planning on getting us killed. That creature isn't human, do NOT engage."

I vaguely consider ignoring his warning and going after the bastard myself but I eventually give in.

For many reasons.

The first is that he is finally talking to me. He had made good on his word to not engage with me and it was hell.

The second reason is the fact that the bastard is planning something. He wants me to start a war with Damon, and I need to know why. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Just then, I see Cody ahead of me, jogging up to me. "Alpha," he says. "I just got confirmation."

"Who was there?" I ask.

"The Alphas, Craig, Tobias, and Monroe."

"I see. Ready the car, I am heading to the Blackwater pack," I say as I turn to walk back to the manor."

"Is there a problem Alpha?" he asks.

"You remember the wretch that came to see me today?" I ask.

"Yes."

"He was the one whom your sister hired to kill Catherine. The one who has been taking care of those weaklings your father used to hate. The one who killed James."

"You are certain, Alpha?"

"A hundred percent."

"Then what did he come for? What does he want?"

"I don't know, but if I have to guess, I will say anarchy."

I quickly head into the building and my room for a quick shower and a change of clothes.

Within thirty minutes, I am done and in the car heading for the pack.

"How long before we get there ?' I ask Cody as we drive past the gates

"An hour and a half at most. We could have gone in our wolf forms and taken the river bend but that would be…"

"Undignified," I finish.

The ride is a quiet one. I can feel Cody itching to ask questions but he doesn't.

I, on the other hand, have thoughts running through my head.

It is a fact that girls have gone missing from everyone's pack. But why would Damon have anything to do with that, and if he didn't, who would set him up and why?

Eventually, we arrive at the gates of his pack and are questioned.

"Alpha Vance of the Skylight pack," Ryder answers their inquiry.

I watch the wolf report the information and wait.

A few minutes later, the gate buzzes open and our car coasts down the lane.

As I alight from the car, I see all four Alphas, standing at the entrance.

"Alpha Vance," Damin starts, voice cool. "To what do I owe this August visit?
