Alpha's STOLEN Mate (by Abigail Hayes) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Something in her serious tone made me reconsider my assumptions. “What exactly makes these particular rogue wolves special?”

Her eyes hardened with grim knowledge. “They’ve been magically enhanced-injected with something that makes them immune to pain

and exhaustion. They don’t retreat when injured; they get stronger and more aggressive as fights continue. They also keep evolving,

adapting their tactics. I honestly don’t know the full extent of their current capabilities, but based on recent encounters, three of them

could seriously injure you. Five working together could actually kill you.”

I listened to the first part with growing interest, but when she claimed five could kill me, I couldn’t contain my laughter. “God, you’re

really committed to scaring me! Do you have any idea how many rogue heads I can sever with a single claw swipe? Eight! Fucking eight at

once!”

She rolled her eyes in exasperation just as Scarlett-the blue-haired woman I’d briefly met before-entered the office. Her expression

showed genuine surprise at seeing me, then she glanced behind me as if searching for someone specific.

“Oh, my dear beta,” Elowen said with a teasing smirk, “stop looking around-there’s no one here you want to see. Frost isn’t anywhere

near this place.”

Interesting. No wonder the Moon Goddess paired her with Frost-she’s also a beta.

“I wasn’t looking for him,” Scarlett protested quickly, then asked with obvious concern, “What’s your mate doing here in our territory?”

“Call him Kaius, not my fucking mate!” Elowen snarled with such vehemence that anger flared hot in my chest.

Every time Elowen denies our bond like that, it makes my blood boil. Her constant denial of what we are was becoming increasingly infuriating.

Scarlett shifted uncomfortably before asking with obvious concern, “Any news about today’s search for our missing pack members?”

“None whatsoever,” Elowen confirmed grimly. “Not only no progress, but to temporarily avoid their coordinated ambushes, I had to bring Kaius into our pack territory for protection.”

The pieces clicked together. She was worried about the rogue wolves because they’d taken her people. Simple solution-capture one and

interrogate it.

But I realized something else. Elowen had been rejecting me all this time not because she didn’t love me-but because she couldn’t gain anything from me. She already had everything. A thriving pack, financial success in the human world, legendary white wolf status, loyal followers who adored her, even her own witch and military strategist.

But these enhanced rogue wolves? This is the one problem that’s been giving her headaches. This is my opportunity.

I smiled confidently at Elowen. “Regarding the missing wolves and those increasingly annoying enhanced rogues-consider that problem

officially mine to handle.”

“Absolutely not!” she said with immediate anger. “You don’t understand anything about what we’re dealing with. Acting rashly without proper intelligence will cause complete disasters. Besides, the witch just delivered a direct prophecy about today!”

I realized I couldn’t push the confrontational approach. “Fine, fine. I’ll reluctantly suffer through staying here for one day as required.”

After Scarlett left the office, I found myself unable to contain my growing eagerness to solve Elowen’s problems and prove my value. I

made a casual excuse about needing air and slipped out, quickly moving to catch up with the departing beta in the corridor.

Perfect. Time to convince this beta to help me slip away so I can go after some rogue wolves.

Scarlett turned when she heard my footsteps, her expression immediately suspicious and wary. “Alpha King, why exactly are you following

me?”

I adopted my most disarming smile. “Simple question-don’t you want to know the real reason why Frost keeps rejecting your advances?”
