My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Witnessing Truth

Riley’s POV

Asher and I made our way to the mess hall, and I could feel the weight of every stare directed our way. The other Hunters watched us with suspicion, their eyes lingering on Asher more than me. He had arrived at this base alongside Koa and Nico, and now that their true nature had been exposed, everyone probably assumed Asher shared their secret.

He needed to be extraordinarily careful not to reveal any hint of his wolf abilities or supernatural strength. One slip would mean certain death, or worse, he would end up locked in those underground cells alongside Elena and whoever else they were holding captive.

"Tell me more about what you witnessed in that office," Asher said quietly as we claimed seats at an empty table.

"There’s an entire room filled with children. They’re preparing to train these kids as future wolf killers. The women caring for them are the same ones who raised me here." The words tasted bitter as I spoke them.

"There’s another person we need to contact, but not here. It’s too risky right now. We have to find an escape route first, then we can reach out to him," Asher replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Who are you talking about?" I pressed.

"Your brother. With Elena and Damien captured, he’s the one leading everything now," Asher explained.

"I didn’t see Damien in those cells."

"Trust me, if they have Elena, they definitely have Damien too. They only showed you Elena because she’s your mother. They figured that would be enough to shake you up, assuming you already knew the truth."

"Nyx warned me against that. She told me to act like we had never met."

Asher’s brow furrowed with confusion. "Who’s Nyx?"

"My wolf, I think. She started speaking to me recently. In my mind."

"Yes, that’s definitely your wolf, and she exists solely to protect your best interests. Consider her your most trusted ally, because she will never allow harm to come to you," Asher said with certainty. I absorbed this information with a slow nod.

I described the elaborate trap system they had constructed, explaining how Koa and Nico had been captured, and how they had used this intelligence to launch an attack against another pack just last night. This meant the Hunters now had a significant advantage in tracking down and targeting other packs.
