The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 43

DAMON.

It was a long morning.

We went through all the strategies I could think of and those I didn't.

We figured out a way to deliver the bodies without any trail back to us.

The Falcon had volunteered her group to ensure that each of them found their home.

So even if The Collector tried to start shit, there would be nothing to link us to it. I had asked her about Craig who I had already discussed with but she had assured me there was nothing to fear from him and his allies.

Coming from her, that was a great relief, with her being a seer and all that.

We are aware that the lack of evidence would just put a wrench in The Collector's plan, but only a small wrench.

The finger was still pointed at us, so we were still going to be questioned. We talked about how we were going to handle that.

The Falcon again had revealed a lot of secrets about those packs. So many secrets.

We wouldn't need to expose it all, all we need to do is drop a few innuendos here and there and the guilty parties will check themselves.

"I have one issue to address," Mother says as we are rounding up.

"What issue is that?" I ask

"Catherine."

"Me?" Cathy asks. "What did I do?"

"Nothing sweetheart. It is just, that once a meeting is called, they are going to come here. The news about you going on a rescue attack to find your mate has already spread. It is also the reason for the Collector's actions.

"The Alphas are going to want to see your Luna. Vance is an Alpha."

"And he will be there," I add. "Good."

"No. Not good. Not now," The Falcon says.

"Why the hell not? I have a bone to pick with him," I snarl.

"And you will pick it. Just not now. The meeting will be held at the Sage pack. Aloha Craig is a respected and feared Alpha, known for his wisdom and his firm belief in justice. You can make up an excuse as to why Catherine won't be joining you."

I want to complain, I do. But Cathy's hand on mine stops me.

I look at her and see the glaring relief in her eyes.

She is not ready to face Vance.

Sighing, I turn back to The Falcon. "Very well. I will hold my peace, for now."

"So all we have to do is convince Alpha Craig to invite all other Alpha's to his pack. That should go wonderfully," Mel says sarcastically.

I can understand the sentiment.

No Alpha, and I mean none, would be willing much less eager to invite other Alphas to their pack.

It is like permitting your enemies to fish out your weakness.

"Leave Alpha Craig to me," The Falcon says. "We have history."

"Okay then," Ryder says. "So we have handled everything, yes?"

"Yeah. Why are you in such a hurry?" I ask him.

"Not in a rush. Just very ready to get more information about this Lucas from Faye," he says

"And I am hungry," Cathy says.

The moment she says that everyone, and I mean everyone's stomach grumbles at the same time, making us all laugh at each other.

It is already past noon and none of us have had any breakfast.

We had corpses to deal with.

Mother stands up and begins heading out.

"Why don't you all finish up here while I go prepare something for us all to eat?" she says.

"Can I come?"

I turn to see Cathy looking at my mother with puppy eyes before making my mother finally cave in.
