A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 34

Kavi's POV

Vijayan entered my room and bowed his head. I nodded my head and asked him to sit down. He gave me a file regarding the idea I gave him to build a small production unit where we could do the next level jobs of the products we are cultivating in our pack lands.

"I think you brought a guest to the dungeon."

He said in a casual voice. I looked up at him and he was really asking casually. After all, he is my Beta and he has the right to know.

"Yeah. He is a bait for my current mission. I will handle it. Don't worry about it, Vijay. I will see the models and will let you know tomorrow which one we could finalize."

I told him in the same casual tone.

"You don't have to explain it to me, Alpha. Please let me know if I could do anything about it. I have written my opinion about each model behind the sketch. If you want me to explain, just call me."

I nodded my head with a smile and dismissed him.

I kept the file aside and opened my mail to finish the orders for those I received advances. I decided to reduce my projects as already I have my plates full. My college, pack duties, bruised mark and the search hunt of Dark Vipers' leader.

I worked for a few hours and called Vijayan and Nakul to discuss the pros and cons of every design and we finalised the design which we all felt that gives optimal yield. On my morning run, I noticed a vast land near the northern territory was just covered with creepers and other small plants. I asked them to arrange a volunteer group to clear that place. After that, I leaned on my chair. It was mentally exhausting to go through all these. I skipped my college today and it wasn't the first time this month. The exams were due in a month which was the last thing to bother. But the main thing making me worry was, I couldn't go to Green ocean pack today. I failed to keep up the words I have given to my mate. I knew he will understand but I feel bad for him. He is my mate. And it was natural to want to be with me all the time. But my Alpha duties and my personal commitments were coming between us.

I mind linked my mate and found he was in their furniture shop in the town. I apologised to him that I couldn't come here. But he told that he had asked everyone about the strange thing but no one mentioned anything. Sezhiyan wants to talk to us separately and he doubts that he must know something. I told him that I will make some time this week to officially visit them. I already asked Vijay to prepare for the Peace treaty which would get ready in two days. So I could make that agreement while I go there and it will help me to spend some hours with my friends. I miss my friends.

I got this chance to explore Ashwin's den when he went to a bar nearby. I used the masking spray and entered his den through the balcony. Hari was waiting for me in a truck opposite to this apartment and was examining the place for me. The place was a total mess. There was nothing usual in his living room and kitchen. I made sure that I was not disturbing the place of things kept. I started searching in his bedroom. His closet consists of some t-shirts and jeans and an old bed was placed in a corner. The bedside table had nothing interesting. I lifted his bed and found a scribbling notepad. This should do. I quickly started taking images of his scribblings on my mobile phone.

When I finished the snaps, I heard a sound from the balcony. Hari mind linked that he saw someone was entering the place the same way I did. I mentally smirked at this bonus rat coming to get caught. I have hidden behind the bedroom curtain and found a man entering with a mask on his face. I noticed the same blue snake circling a black rose tattoo on his forceps. That was all I needed. I don't want Ashwin to know someone was here when he went out. I absorbed his energy and quickly picked him up and exited through his balcony. I used window sunshade to climb down and put him the truck. Hari looked at me amused when I came with the man on my shoulder. We reached the dungeon and I asked Hari to chain him in the cell in a faraway cell from the old rogue and bring all his thing to my office.

I entered my office and waited for Hari to bring his things. He brought his I-phone, purse and a pistol with silver bullets. He had his phone locked but unlocking it wasn't a big deal for me. But a rogue having I-phone and the latest model pistol was something interesting. His call history had the names of many human corporates and politicians. I noted down the frequent calls he had in which a few were unnamed. When I was about to check the identity of those numbers online, his mobile rang. The screen displayed 'A'. I quickly opened the tracking app I had designed and entered the number displaying on the screen. I clicked the answer button and clicked the record button.

"Did you finish the job? Why didn't you call me? I told you to inform me immediately after finishing the assignment."

I heard a man speak in a gruff voice. I cleared my throat. He already spoke for eight seconds just twelve more seconds to pinpoint his location.

"Umm... Sir! Actually, I found this phone near the sixth street. It was lying next to my car when I started to work. I think your employee had missed his mobile. If you want, I could come and give it to your place. Or kindly inform your employee to collect the mobile from me. Ask him to call his number. I will give it to him on my way to work."

I spoke lengthily and portrayed myself as a human. I heard him curse under his breath. My laptop had already pointed out a seven-star hotel named Hotel Emperor.

"If he comes here, I will tell him about it. Please take care of that phone, it has many contacts."

I was surprised by his politeness. I replied with an 'Okay' and hung up.

I knew I learnt several things to use it for good but now I should hack the hotel's database. I entered into the hotel's website and backtracked the main server. I called Nakul and a few teens who do college with me. I need to shortlist my suspects. I pulled my mobile to check the scribblings, I got from Ashwin's home and transferred them to my laptop. The first few were doodles of his family and he had tried to give a face to his unborn but stricken it out in frustration. The next few had sketches of men and a few have 'X' over them. One of his sketch contains a replica of the new rogue who was in my custody. So he was also a part of that attack. Ashwin would feel very happy to tear him apart. My computer dinged to tell that the hacking of the hotel's server was over. The number I traced was bought under the name of some human and it was in use for the past three years. I knew they have purchased the sim with a fake ID. But using it for three years means he feels safe enough to carry out his business with the same number. I highly suspect the call might be from Lee.

Nakul and the three teens came in after a knock. I copied the data about that hotel in pen drive and explained the teens to verify the given proofs of the people staying in the hotel currently. It was easy to identify the humans and then the list would be cut short in no time. They were so eager to help me and they sat on the sofa in my room to start their work. I pointed out my findings to Nakul. I have gone through the photos on his mobile which was in hundreds. It may take time but it was worth seeing them because I might find some clues. I took print outs of the uncrossed sketches from Ashwin and gave it to the teens to check if anyone's identity was matching with the photo.

I have worked for a detective agency to find the face matching program to check such sketches with the database. But I need the identities of rogues to do the match run. I have one way. But it was better to ask the council than to hack their server. They have a good tech team who might find that I had entered their server within a minute. I was thinking the way to do this face check but I was mind linked that the rogue was now awake.

I asked the teens to update me when they find anything strange and asked Nakul to come with me. When I entered the cell, that rogue started thrashing around and yelling profanities at me. I stood there unfazed and listen to his ramblings.

"You have done a great mistake, bitch. Who the fuck are you? My men might have noticed my absence now and they would be searching for me now. You dared to touch me. I will make sure to rip you and your gang members into pieces. How long are you following me? You have the fucking guts to catch me? My gang members were so sharp and smart. They will find me in no time. Then they will..."

I punched him hard across his jaw. He is talking too much.

"You are at our mercy! So shut the fuck up."

I warned him. But he again started his blabbering.

"You whore! You put your dirty paw on me! I will hang your hand as decoration in my house. You dared to touch me! You dared to touch, Lee! You fucking bitch. I am going to make your death painfully slow. I will cut your body into pieces and let my men eat you..."

I froze in my step when he revealed his identity. If he was Lee, the person spoken to me was one of the top three. Is A mean alpha or the first letter of one? I really hit a jackpot. I was trying to find him in this month-end meet but he fell on my trap on his own. It was time to handle it cleverly. I mind liked my pack doctor to come immediately with the necessary thing to the dungeon.

Ashwin! You are going to get your gift soon than I planned.
