Luna's Deadly Deception: How She Made Her Alpha Pay novel Chapter 16

The elder wolf, Wilhelm, nearly forty, gulped his blood wine. His younger partner, Erik, rolled up his sleeves revealing ancient runes, matching Wilhelm's casual demeanor.

"With the sabotage done and this rain, that pup won't survive," Erik smirked. "These stepmothers pretend kindness for two years, then strike when the heir gets his driving runes."

Axel's ears perked up, a plan forming.

"These cruel ones keep us in business," Wilhelm added.

Axel approached their table. "Brothers, let me cover your meal. I have a proposition."

"Do we know you?" Wilhelm growled suspiciously.

"No, but fate brought us together. You're already working one job - what's another? I'll double your usual fee."

The brothers exchanged looks before agreeing. Axel showed them Thea's photo, satisfied with their arrangement.

After Axel left, Wilhelm slipped into his vehicle, contacting Magnus: "Axel took the bait."

Magnus twirled a silver pen. "His plan?"

Axel smiled, photographing his success before departing.

Within hours, the Blackwoods released a formal pack announcement:

"With profound grief, we announce our beloved daughter Thea Blackwood, age 27, has joined the Moon Goddess at 20:07 on December 20, 2024, following a tragic accident. Her warmth and love will echo eternally in our hearts. May she find peace in the eternal hunting grounds. If fate allows, we pray to share pack bonds again in our next lives."

The news sent shockwaves through all territories.
