Dumped Omega? Now Their Alpha King Begs at My Feet novel Chapter 65

Kai's POV

I listened. I stood there and listened to every single, flat, emotionless word.

She told me about the stew. She told me about the empty suitcase. I didn't interrupt. I didn't move a muscle.

Her voice was the only sound on the cold, silent balcony. When she finished, the silence that followed was heavy.

Every word she spoke was like a drop of fuel on a fire burning deep inside my gut. She thought she was just giving me a report. She had no idea what she was really doing.

She was passing a death sentence.

Her calm, detached delivery made it a thousand times worse. It meant the abuse was so constant, so normal, that she had learned to live with it. To wall it off.

They hadn't just hurt her. They had tried to break her.

I thought of her in the ICU, her hands glowing with a power I had only read about in legends. A power that could command life and death.

And the Blackwoods had made that woman scrub their floors. They had called her a thief.

The sheer, staggering stupidity of it was as infuriating as the cruelty. They had a diamond in their house, and they threw it in the mud because they were too blind to see what it was.

Finally, she answered my last question.

"The Silver Creek pack," she said, her voice still a monotone. "That was Marcus Junior's family."

I filed the name away. Black Moon. Silver Creek. The targets were marked.

I finally spoke. My voice was quiet, completely calm.

"Thank you, Valerie," I said. "That is all the information I will require."

I speed-dialed my Beta. He answered on the first ring.

"Jax," I said, my voice pure ice.

"Alpha," he replied, his tone instantly alert. He knew this voice. This was not the voice of his Alpha making a business deal. This was the voice of his Alpha going to war.

"Cancel all my appointments for the next seventy-two hours," I commanded. "And get me everything we have on the Black Moon pack. And the Silver Creek pack."

"I want their assets, their trade routes, their alliances, and their weaknesses," I continued, my eyes locked on Valerie's. "I want the names of every member of Marcus Blackwood's family. And the names of Marcus Junior's family."

"Alpha, what is the objective?" Jax asked, his voice steady.

I let the silence hang for a beat.

"I am going to pay them a visit," I said. "And I am going to collect a debt."
