Chapter 144
Kieran's POV
Apart from the things we found after rummaging through the house we found out belonged to Gerald and his mate after they were banished from the Pack, we haven't found anything new.
And the location of Gerald's mate and the son, whose name was Felix was yet to be determined, but we now have names we were working on, instead of just wild guesses.
It was confirmed that this Felix guy was born earlier than I was, which would suggest that the reason he was dead set on attacking the Pack was because he thinks that for whatever reason, he was supposed to be the Alpha of the Pack.
“I mean, out of all the things I knew was wrong with your mom, cheating on your dad is next level.” King said.
"You do know they're your parents too, right?”
"Nah, I'll pass. But I'm glad he did the right thing.”
My Dad’s rejection came as a surprise to me, it was the last thing I expected him to do. And no doubt, the rejection was weighing on both of them, but my Dad was channeling his pain into spending time with Allie…which was nice, but I could tell it was getting to her since she didn't have enough time to spend with the girls and Ryder.
“Do they think we're dumb or something?" King asked and I chuckled.
Ryder was lucky I liked him, if not, he'd be gone and long forgotten by now. It was also fun watching them walk on eggshells whenever they were around me.
“Alpha, Gerald isn't saying anything, what do you want us to do about that?" Caleb asked, entering the office.
“I didn't expect him to." I replied. "What about the things we found at her place? Does Elizabeth have a conclusion on what they are?”
"Just poisons and deadly ones.” He said, confirming my suspicions. "The fact that she wanted Luna Kaia means she knows about her powers.”
I nodded, "Since Felix knows about it, she does. And they are working together.”
He made himself comfortable as he went through the paperwork I had lined up in front of me. Everything right from the day my Dad became Alpha was lying on my desk and I had gone through them about twice but they were exactly as my dad had explained but I still felt a bit of uneasiness.
“Have the warriors search the entire area just in case they're lurking around somewhere."
“Yes Alpha."
“How's Dylan?" I asked.
Since the effect of the spell was taken off him, and he saw the bruises he'd made while he was under the spell, he made it his duty to avoid me no matter how many times I told him it wasn't his fault.
“I don't think I've seen him anywhere, but I'm sure he will come around.”
“Send our mate to him, he listens to her." King suggested. “I'm starting to think Pack members listen to her more."
I agree, and I couldn't be more proud of her. I don't think even she herself knows how much she'd grown from the shy person she used to be to the woman with so much authority.
“He definitely will."
Pushing myself up from my seat, I grabbed some of the paperwork and went towards the door. Caleb, although confused at my sudden movement, still followed behind me.
“Are you going to the dungeon?" He asked, and I nodded.
If I continue the way I have been going all this while, I was never going to get to the root of all of this. And as much as I didn't think my dad was lying about the reason for banishing witches from the Pack, I wanted to believe that all of this was more than just revenge.
When my Dad came in earlier, he mentioned how Gerald's smell felt familiar to him, one that he later recognized as the boy she was with before they met and calculating back, it would mean Felix was born when my Dad was away for Alpha's training.
So the question was, what happened between them before he came back.
The warriors guarding the cell moved out of the way once they saw me. They were guards I trusted as I didn't want a repeat of what happened with the shooters who were killed right under our noses. I also had Elizabeth make sure his cell cannot be penetrated, even by another spell.
“This shouldn't take time." I thought.
Gerald, on seeing me, turned away but that didn't last as Caleb dragged him out, after opening the door using the only key that worked for it.
