Chapter Hundred–Six Seriously?

Please, I have a younger brother, but we stopped being childish when we shifted because that made us full wolves, and expectations arose..
“Alpha!” Dara rushed to me, holding a report.
Her face said it all. The report was a bad one. Seeing she was more scared than annoyed, then it wasn’t logan.
I leaned on the wall of Beatrice’s room, adjacent to Hunter’s. “What now?”
“Chris is asking about the horsetail. He wants to know how the investigation is going.” Dara mumbled quickly.

“We should get over this. Have you prepared Sasha for returning?” I enquired from my lead warrior.
Dara nodded readily. “Not really. And I didn’t see her servant after she escaped that night.”
I snapped my head at her. How did her servant disappear beyond sight in an hour? “Is the girl from around here?”
Dara shrugged. “She acts like she’s from Red Moon, so maybe she was trying t
get home.”
I hoped she did, and better shut her mouth about everything, “She didn’t see you, right!”
Dara shook her head. “I literally wore a mask whenever I met them; the girl escaping was just a slipup. Well, she’s lucky.”
I rolled my eyes at Dara. “You are lucky! Don’t try this again, kidnapping a Royal Luna!”
She sulked, looking down. Was about to say something, but I raised my hands, not wanting to hear it

Very hard to catch her scent here, and stepping on rocks would hide our footsteps. My lead warrior was really showing off her skills in espionage.

We arrived at a shabby but medium–sized apartment. I nearly walked up to it before Dara pulled me away.
Sasha lives there; be careful, or she’d see you.”
Lives there? “Didn’t you KIDNAP her?”

e strolled towards the house, and I followed.
She got in first and began acting the drama I earlier scripted for her. “The danger has been averted, Luna. Come now, can go home.”
Using my wolf’s vision, I could overlook the walls, and I saw Sasha standing in front of her, with a protruding stomach.
She looked funny but kinda cute. Her body showed she was eating well. Dara basically took her out for a vacation.
“Go where?” Sasha sounded unwilling.
Dara cleared her throat before reciting. “Back to your husband, your stay here has elapsed.”
Her dramatic voice made me chuckle; I watched Sasha’s reaction. Her face had a frown, then realization, then annoyance.
“Isn’t this supposed to be a kidnap? Aren’t you supposed to kill me?” she asked bitterly.

“But your stay has elapsed. You must return to your husband before he burns the forests and dries the seas to find you.” Dara repeated.

Chapter 136
Sasha ogled at Dára then langhed; she struggled to get up again “My husband, Alpha King Chris, barely cares about me.”
She had the same mocking emphasis I used to have on ‘Alpha King‘. I never knew we both could ever match energy.
And Chris never cared for her? Maybe it was his baby that he cared for.
“Luna, I assure you that you’ve misunderstood the great King: loved you and would do anything for you.” Dara responded.
I’m sure she gagged after that, but as her face was covered, Sasha would never know.
“And who are you? You kept me here, and you used to treat me badly before, why do you care now?”
Dara was mute then cleared her throat again. “I only acted that way because… I misunderstood the Luna’s kind heart.”
There, that made me gag.
Sasha looked unconvinced; she rested on the wall, looking frustrated. “I don’t want to return. I’m happier here.”
Meaning she wasn’t happy there? I’m not surprised. I mind–linked Dara. “Tell her there’s a problem at the pack, and her husband needs her.”
Dara relayed my words to her, and she didn’t look slightly fazed “Must I return? I know my servant left, but can’t I get.
another?”
Dara dropped the act right there and yelled. “Return to your husband, woman! Your stay here has elapsed!
I couldn’t help but laugh loudly, showing myself behind the wall. Sasha stepped back, stunned.
Dara looked disappointed in herself for losing her temper and the act, but I wouldn’t blame her.
Muffling my voice to sound masculine, I said. “You are tiring my little messenger, Luna. Just return to your husband.”
“No!” Sasha went back and grabbed a stick.
“Do
o you want to deny Chris his child? Do you want to stay here alone? If you don’t return with us, we’d never visit again!” 1 barked angrily.
She brought down the stick in defeat. Dara rushed to her and head her arms behind her, not forcefully. “Come with me,
Luna.”
I nodded at her, giving her the signal to make her unconscious.
Hitting the back of her neck, Sasha fainted but was caught by Dara. “Now, let’s go deliver the bitch!”

“Yes, yes, let him in.” I replied hastily. The guard retracted his head, and the door was opened widely.
Ray strolled in, holding two oranges. He threw one to me from a distance. I caught it on impulse. “Howdy!” he asked.
What’s with him? The orange looked sumptuous, so I dug my teeth in. “Your report doesn’t seem like bad news.” I said.
Earlier, I told him about Logan saying he had his sister, so he left for Silver Pack to check.
Ray nodded. “Yeah, she’s at her pack and feeling better. I even got other news.” He plopped onto my Luna’s chair. I didn’t mind

“Taden and my sister aren’t actually mates!” he started excitedly.
I was blank first, then my joy grew, before it dawned on me that the problem wasn’t averted by Jaden not being her mate.
The Silver Wolf was still fated to have a mate who’d be the new Alpha King, just it wasn’t faden, which wasn’t good.
Like he was a better candidate, after me. Who else did the moon goddess have in mind?
Since I wasn’t excited, Ray nudged me and added. “But I feel he’s interested in her, romantically.”

The corners of my lips rose up, and I lifted my head. “Don’t blame him. Who wouldn’t?”
My eyes widened as the words successfully flew out of my mouth. I turned to Ray, and he hid his smug grin. “I know, right.” He nodded.
“I didn’t mean it that way. I meant, Jaden has every right to be attracted to her. She’s strong, beautiful, and has a silver wolf. I defended.

Again, everything didn’t come out right. Ray nodded again, chewing on his orange. I wasn’t appreciating his silence.
I cleared my throat. “Anyway, he shouldn’t bother telling her his feelings because, as per the prophecy, she has to wait for her mate.”
Ray nodded yet again, throwing the remaining orange

I handed them to him. “So there’s nothing new happening there? Your sister is surely boiling to look for Logan.”
“Not really, she’d be more strategic now,” Ray noted. “Direct attacks have proven futile.”
1 scoffed. Finally. She had earned how not to be impulsive and try thinking first. I loved it for her.
“Whatever she’d plan, I hope she’d let us know. We’re in this together; Logan is a threat to the whole Kingdom.” I reminded him.
“Yeah, and to think he was gnee an Alpha of his own pack. I cant belleve he killed them all. He’s really crazy.” Ray shook his head.
1 spaced off, trying to remember everything Logan ever said about his family. He mentioned his pack wanting to live like Werewolves.
That meant he was an Alpha to a pack of Lycans.
And since he was a Lycan Alpha King, then he had killed Lycan Alphas. He should be really powerful then.
But, so far, with all the near–death battles he had engaged in, he didn’t seem as powerful.

Ray waved his hands, dismissing his earlier words. “No, no, I mon child… um… having a child. Yes.”
It still didn’t make sense. I tried helping him. “You mean the stress of having a child?”
That was more of the female’s issue than the males. Logan was male.
“No, having a child, especially the child who’d be Alpha, it could take a toll on the fa

I heaved a sigh. Perhaps after Logan became Alpha King, he had sons who should have been Alphas. And it lessened his strength.
“Since Logan killed everyone in his pack, I bet he killed his sons who’d have been Alphas too.” I sighed.
That felt good in a way.
The last thing I needed were vengeful young Lycans joining their father to torment me.
“You know Alphas can be female too, so maybe sons and daughters. And if they’re daughters, you’d never know if they had
