Chapter 219 Two Hundred and Nineteen
Almost everyone groaned. They thought they were done. They thought they got all of them. Dalloway’s statement made Lucianne’s eyes widened, and Xandar’s grip around her tightened before it loosened again when Lucianne’s thumb started stroking his lap. Dalloway then said, “There is some good news that I should mention: the tunnel is small, so only wolves could go through it one at a time. Our own people had to break the concrete around it to enlarge the passageway during our investigation.”
That was definitely a relief for all the worried faces in the room. Lucianne turned to the Alphas and Lunas in the room and said, “Alert the pack leaders. Every one of them, especially those around Faint Moon.”
Juan then asked, “Should we offer them a chance to surrender first?”
It was on the tip of Lucianne’s tongue to say ‘yes’ but she remembered how offering Jake a chance to surrender played out. She was conflicted, so she locked eyes with her mate and asked, “What do you think, darling? Should we?” Xandar thought about it, well aware of the conflict she was experiencing. After a moment, he declared, “One chance. Only one. Get them to surrender and detain them until our people get there to bring them back here. If they try anything funny, kill them.” 3
“Understood.” Juan uttered with a smile, and the other pack leaders of the alliance nodded in compliance.
Dalloway then went on to explain that the rogues they arrested didn’t know anything about the suppliers of their weapons and poisons because Alithia was the one who handled these things, and Toby slammed his head on the table for killing her.
Lucianne looked at her best friend rubbing his forehead and said, “Chill, Toby. She deserved to die.”
Toby retorted, “No, Lucy. She deserved to be tortured with whips and an electrocution chair. She didn’t deserve to die.”
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The room was filled with furrowed eyebrows and inquisitive eyes thrown at Xandar. Even his own mate was giving him a puzzled look. Was he expecting someone?
“Come in!” Xandar was equally lost but if his guards saw the need to disturb his meeting, it had to be important.
The door opened, and in walked Vernon, who bowed before coming to the King’s side to hand him his mail as he said, “Apologies, your Highnesses, but there was one among the stack that seemed important.”
Vernon placed a blue envelope on the top of the stack that had “URGENT” written in red, followed by a line of black-colored words that read: Attn: H.R.H. Queen Lucianne Freesia Paw. The fact that it wasn’t Greg’s handwriting like it was the last time didn’t stop Lucianne from snatching the envelope and nipping it open. She took out the white card and read it with Xandar. Xandar’s eyes darkened, and Lucianne’s neck stiffened before her friends noticed the homicidal glint in her black and onyx orbs. After a short moment of pin drop silence, Toby got tired of waiting.
