Sold to Bastard Alpha after My Divorce! novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Kael’s POV

The file on Cain Shadow Moon was thick.

I’d been staring at it for two hours. Every page filled with evidence. Drug deals. Wolfsbane distribution. Names, dates, locations.

This was the bastard who’d destroyed my brother.

Lucian used to be brilliant. Charming. The golden son of Blood Crown. Everyone loved him. Everyone expected him to be Alpha.

Then Cain sold him that first dose of Wolfsbane.

And my brother became a ghost.

I closed the file. Leaned back in my chair.

The office was quiet. Everyone had gone home hours ago. Only the security guards remained, patrolling the halls of what used to be my father’s domain.

My domain now.

I still couldn’t get used to it.

"Damon." I pressed the intercom. "Come to my office."

Three minutes later, he walked in.

"You look like shit," he said cheerfully. "When was the last time you slept?"

"I need you to organize a team." I pushed the file toward him. "Cain Shadow Moon. I want him brought in."

Damon picked up the file. Flipped through it. His eyebrows rose higher with each page.

"This is Aria’s brother."

"I know."

"The guy who sold Wolfsbane to Lucian."

"I know."

"Kael..." He set down the file. Looked at me with concern. "Are you sure about this? Going after her family?"

"Her family?" I laughed. Bitter. Harsh. "Her family treated her like garbage. Her mother sold her body. Her sisters made her life hell. And Cain? Cain destroyed innocent lives for profit. He’s not family. He’s a criminal."

"But if Aria finds out—"

"If Aria finds out, she’ll understand." I stood up. Walked to the window. The city spread out below me, glittering with a thousand lights. "I’m not doing this to hurt her. I’m doing this because it’s right."

Damon was quiet for a moment.

"You’re doing this for her," he said finally. "Aren’t you?"

I didn’t answer.

"Kael." His voice softened. "It’s been three months. She’s not coming back."

"She will."

"How do you know?"

"Because she’s my mate." I turned to face him. "Fenrir recognized her. The Moon Goddess chose her. That doesn’t just go away."

He gestured around the office. "She doesn’t know you’re Alpha now. She doesn’t know you took down the Nightfangs. She doesn’t know you’re cleaning up the pack."

"Then I’ll make sure she finds out."

"How? You don’t even know where she is!"

The words hit harder than they should have.

Because he was right.

"Just get the team ready," I said quietly. "I want Cain in custody by tomorrow night."

Damon sighed. But he nodded.

"Yes, Alpha."

He left.
