Chapter 644 – A life for a life, and we want the white wolf too

At the end of the line, Ravyn’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The weight of Voren’s accusation pressed down on him like a physical force. "Voren, what’s wrong?" His voice was tight, cautious.

After Voren narrated everything, the Lycan, the fight, Corvine’s critical condition, the pieces finally fell together in Ravyn’s mind.

He hated not having followed his instincts to find an excuse to stay behind to witness the last part. It ached him that Corvine was suffering when the guy had offended no one.

"I honestly knew King Jaron was up to something, but I never thought he’d bring a Lycan." Ravyn shook his head, frustration bleeding into his voice as he began to explain his part.

"When I arrived for this meeting in the outlands, I thought I’d finish quickly and return to referee the fight. But I was kept waiting for four good hours because the man showed up late."

He paused, his jaw clenching. "King Jaron had told me that this man was always on time, insisting that I leave early which I did. Then in the course of the meeting, he got furious and told me he was going to call me. Why do I feel like he was upset over the dead Lycan?"

He paused again as he began to piece it all together, his voice dropping with regret. "Also, Jaron was supposed to arrange the meeting earlier but intentionally delayed it. I’m so sorry. I should have seen it coming, shouldn’t have underestimated his hatred for Corvine."

Voren was about to end the call when something crossed his mind, a suspicion that had been gnawing at him. "Do you know why King Jaron is against Corvine marrying his daughter?"

Ravyn thought about it, turning the question over in his mind. But he only settled on the obvious, that Corvine was formerly a beta and the Alpha King wanted someone who had complete control of a pack. "Isn’t it because he’s the only co-Alpha?"

"Wrong." Voren’s voice was cold, sharp as a blade. "He’s doing it to get back at me. The reason why he never announced anything like this from the onset was because he had eyes on me. He wanted me to marry Liah, so he could use her to have access to my daughter." He paused, letting the words sink in. "When I refused, he tried to kidnap her."

He waited, and the sound of tires screeching on the other end told him he’d struck a nerve. "You mean Jaron wanted to kidnap my daughter?" Ravyn’s voice was barely controlled, fury simmering beneath the surface. "For what?"

"Why don’t you find out?" Voren said in annoyance, his patience wearing thin.

He was only lighting the match for Ravyn to see clearly, the severity of what he had gotten himself into.

Ravyn heaved a deep breath, the weight of the revelation settling on his shoulders. "I’m going back to the pack now. I’ll call to update you." The line went dead.
