The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 153

One-Hundred Fifty-Two: One the Inside

Nigel

I have a guy on the inside. He is on one of the islands, but I am not sure which one. From what he told me, it is a holding facility. He has not seen Asmoday. I asked him where he was, and he had no idea where this island was located. He is not happy with Blain and me. I know he was trying to get out of that shit, but somehow we convinced him to stay.

“So he doesn’t know where he is,” Nate says.

“No, he said that they flew him to the island. He said all he could see for miles around was the ocean and then all a sudden there was an island.” I tell them.

“They are keeping the islands concealed with some sort of magic then.” Nymyra states.

I agreed with her. I just don’t know what type of magic is being used. Demons have their own powers. Asmoday is strong, but he is not strong enough to conceal three or more islands by himself. Someone is helping him. I don’t think it is a witch or warlock thought.

“Does he know how long he is going to be at that island? What are they holding there?” Dustin asks.

“Unfortunately, they didn’t give him a time frame. So he could never leave that island. I have a feeling since he already knew the business he won’t be on the low-level island for long. He said they are holding creatures there that are rather common. He is not even sure why they have them.” I explain.

I sit back in my seat. We need to find out who is helping him conceal his islands and what kind of power or magic they are using. Unless there is more than one demon, even then, they would need to be very powerful demons and several of them at the locations. I don’t believe that he has that much help. From what I can tell of the ones that are currently watching the pack, they are powerful but not any more powerful than me. I wonder if they are using fae power. That would definitely be strong enough. He either has a few, or they are working for him.

“Have any fae disappeared lately?” I ask Imyra.

“Not that I know of. I however can’t speak for the fae in the other realms or that are here in hiding.” She replies.

“You think they are using fae to help keep things hidden?” Marcus asks.

“It’s a strong possibility. Demons are capable but he would need several very powerful demons at each location and I don’t think that is feasible. I guess he could have a witch or warlock at each location, but again there are none that powerful. Fae magic is strong. Especially if they are dark fae. He may have a few of them that are either working for him or that he has captured and he is somehow forcing them to help keep things hidden.” I explain.

“I bet he is using dark fae powers,” Daniylla says.

I am leaning more towards this as well. The only problem is that dark fae are notoriously hard to find. They pride themselves on staying under the radar. I honestly have no idea where any are. I know there are ways to find them, but I don’t have the ability to do this. I know Mykenzie and Kylani could, but if some dark fae were working for Asmoday, they would cause too much suspicion. We can’t send them. I rub my temples and try to think of a way to find them.

“Where do dark fae usually live?” Mykayla asks.

“They tend to live deep in the forest or in places no one else wants to inhabit,” I tell her.

“They like dark things like dark-colored stones, dragons, and other things associated with the night or dark,” I add.

The smiles that spread across Mykayla’s face are both beautiful and scary. Reminds me of Mykenzie and Kylani. I watched as the girls turned towards Xion. He sits there looking very uncomfortable. It looks like he wants to run. I don’t blame him. I have a bad feeling I know what they are thinking.

“What is going on?” Peter asks.

“They want me to be bait for the dark fae.” Xion answers.

I have to admit it would work. Xion is just as tall as me, with long black hair and dark brown eyes. His dark chocolate skin tone helps. When he is in his dragon form, his scales are iridescent black with an undertone of blood red to them. He fits everything the dark fae love. I am not sure using him as bait is a good idea. Plus, I am not even sure we can find them. The last place I remember them being was in extinct volcanoes or deep in the jungles. We discussed the possibility of this idea for a while. Xion decides that if we can find the dark fae, he will help lure them out. I let them know I would start asking around about the dark fae.
