The Alpha's Contract Luna (Alexia) novel Chapter 47

~Kieran~

"Who is that with you?" The palace guard asked, seeing another man inside Kieran's car.

Kieran and Alexia were inside the car, moving out of the palace's estate. Behind Kieran, Alpha Baxter's and Alpha Declan's vehicles lined up to leave.

The men questioning them at the gate were the queen's guards. After the queen announced how she had controlled power, she had over a hundred men going around the palace grounds.

"It's Alpha Kai. He and Alpha Declan had one too many drinks. He is riding with me out of the capital," Kieran sternly replied.

"I have to check him!" The guard insisted.

"Be my guest," Kieran answered, his head tilting in the backseat of the car.

To his left, Kieran saw how Alexia avoided looking at the guard. He could tell she was being extra careful not to alarm anyone. She was seated next to him, looking at Alpha Kai with worry.

"Are you okay, Alpha Kai?" She managed to act along.

The guard opened the backdoor and tried to wake Alpha Kai. He forced Alpha Kai's face up, and after confirming it was him, the alpha vomited on the guard's arm.

"Fuck!" The guard exclaimed. He had that look of disgust as he pulled his arm away. He then glowered at Alpha Kai.

"Careful now, that's Alpha Kai you are speaking you. I may have been stripped of my title, but he is still above you," Kieran warned, and the guard retreated to control his anger.

"Gross, man!" The other guards on duty said. "Is it Alpha Kai, though?"

"Yes, it's Alpha Kai," the guard responded before rushing off to wash his arm.

"Just let them leave. We will still supervise them at the Stone Blood Pack," guards representing the king said out of nowhere. Kieran saw how they drove in the car next to them. "We will make sure Kieran leaves the pack in peace."

The queen's guards looked at each other, and they nodded, saying, "Okay."

They opened the gates and let Kieran and Alexia leave with Alpha Kai. The king's guards followed behind them in another vehicle.

Through the car's rearview mirror, Kieran saw how Alpha Baxter's car was also cleared to leave. The only test now was whether Alpha Declan's vehicle would be allowed to leave without suspicion. He certainly hoped.

~Alpha Declan~

Alpha Declan was nervous. However, he was the best candidate to do the job. He had the same build as the king and the same length of hair.

He would never abandon his king, and thus, he agreed to act along.

The last to be inspected was his car. His warrior drove his vehicle while he was seated in the backseat with the king. They had changed the king into his usual jacket, plus Alpha Kai's skunk scent invention. It was the perfect disguise for the king, masking his scent. Alpha Declan wore the clothes of his warrior, pretending to be a simple gamma. He held the king next to him and tried to control Balthasar's movements.

King Balthasar was still unconscious. Alpha Declan pulled down the king's hair to cover his look. He had also painted the king's face with a beard to make him look like him, while Alpha Declan shaved thoroughly. Of course, they had added help as they had left in the night. Not everything was what it seemed without the light of day.

The guards immediately reacted as soon as the car door opened. "Why does the car stink? It stinks like a skunk!"

They kept repeating their questions, but the warrior behind the wheel reasoned, "A skunk made it inside the car before coming here. Sorry for the inconvenience."
