The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 24

DAMON.

"I SAID NO."

My wolf has been insistent on going for a run. For days.

It is irritating.

Like a kid high on sugar, he has been on edge, prowling around in my head, itching to go for a run.

It is why I am so antsy.

"Um, Alpha, is everything okay?" 

I look up to see Faue standing there, soaking wet.

"What happened to you? You are soaked."

"I uh, dived into the river."

"why?"

"um, it is not important. I have news."

"on the other person?"

"yes. Tammy Fay. She is the supposed mate of Vance Sky."

"Fay? Fay. Why does that name sound familiar? Oh, right. Their beta is named Fay. Collin Fay."

"Cody Fay. And yeah, she is his sister."

"Did you bring her here?"

"No. I couldn't. She is under house arrest and all her windows have been barred."

"So we can't find out who she contacted?."

"Hmm, I don't think so.."

"Why do you say so?"

"I don't think she even knows who he is. Anyway, I found something else. Vance is-, was Catherine's mate."

A beat of silence and then…

"WHAT?"

What the hell is she saying? That Vance was the fucker that hurt her. So rejecting her wasn't enough, he had to kill her too? 

"I overheard them discussing it. Vance and Tammy. It was Tammy who had Catherine beaten up and left for dead. She has done it because she didn't want Vance to change his mind. Vance found out and had the wolves involved killed and her under house arrest. "

"So that's why he had them burnt."

"I guess so."

"How did she know that Catherine was still alive? How did he know?" I ask.

"I have no idea about that. But I know that Vance has some people tracking Catherine's kidnapper" she answers

"What?" I exclaim as I rush to my feet. "How did he find him?"

"He waited for them to meet and then put someone on his trail. I wanted to follow them, but my wolf wouldn't budge."

"Why the hell not?"

"In her words- if I follow, I die. I think that person isn't normal."

Right, of course. How could I forget?

Wait.

"Why is he looking for her?"

She sighs at the question and an uncomfortable look comes over her face.

I am not going to like this answer.

"Apparently… he had a change of heart and wants Catherine back. As his mate and Luna."

"Like hell he does," I snarl. "Catherine is mine!"

"Yes, Alpha."

"Wher-"

At that exact moment, Melissa burst into the room, harried and out of breath.

"Mel. You are back, good. What did you find?"

"The falcon…" she pants. "He is dead."

"What?"

"What?"

"Yeah, I went into his estate and… oh my goddess, it was a horror show. A massacre."

"How does that even happen? He is the falcon. Didn't you see a body? His body?"

"Uhuh, it was laid out on his desk. He is dead Damon."
