The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 41

LUCAS (SKYLIGHT PACK)

"...you lot kill your weak…"

"...everyone knows that…"

"...we hate the Skylight pack…"

I didn't want it to be true.

That the pack I love and cherish and protect with my whole being is capable of such evil.

It just didn't make sense.

And yet, it did.

All those missing people. The abandoned homes and children. The secretive cliques that just seem to know everything.

Is it possible? Is this my pack?

"Lucas! Where the hell have you been man? You missed a lot."

I turn to see Taylor, -Tay for short-, jogging up to me.

"Hey, Tay. What's up?"

"The Alpha gave a speech. One that sent shock waves through everyone. And then he had former Beta Dawson and that clique of his killed. In front of everyone."

"What?! Why?"

"They have been killing pack members. Culling, as it was mentioned."

"Culling?"

"Yep."

"Culling what?"

"Weak members. Can you imagine? They, in their infinite wisdom, took it upon themselves to rid the pack of those they considered weak. Of course, that list also includes those who stood up to them or those they just didn't like. Despicable."

"What the hell?'

Faye was right.

"And that's not all. Tammy, his daughter, also continued in his footsteps. She was the one that caused Catherine's disappearance."

"Catherine. What did she do to her?'

"From what I gathered, Tammy had her beaten and then thrown into the river to die. But, she somehow survived. Then Tammy had someone go after her to kill her but she was rescued. No one knows where she is now."

I bet I can make an accurate guess.

The Blackwater pack.

I couldn't understand how a high-ranking member like Faye would know the name of a runt in our pack.

They must have saved her.

But… why?

"And now, Alpha is having every resource used in searching for her," Tay continues.

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? She is his mate."

"He rejected her."

"Ehn must have had a change of heart. Though you can't blame him too much."

"I can't? Tell me, if she was your mate, could you reject her?"

"Whoa, calm down man. Why are you so worked up?"

"I am not worked up. Answer the question."

"I don't know. I don't have a mate. They say finding your mate is the most wonderful feeling. That it makes you feel complete. I don't know what I would have done."

I turn away from him in anger.

Not at him, but at the whole situation.

What do I do?

Should I tell the Alpha about my suspicions of Catherine's whereabouts?

Can Faye forgive me for that?

He is her mate and our Luna.

"Don't you dare." 

"What?!'' I ask my wolf.

"You will keep numb about your suspicions of Catherine. It doesn't concern you and you will for sure lose our mate. Just shut up."
