The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 47

VANCE.

I watch as the strange man leaves the office.

"I believe he kidnapped them and held them for ransom."

"If you don't believe me, you can have it checked. I will leave now,"

It was very bold of him to come here and lay all these allegations. Especially to me.

Everyone is aware of the bad blood between Damon and me, on account of my father.

But honestly, I couldn't care less.

The more I find out about my father's past actions the less settled and disgusted I am.

He was obsessed with power. 

Obsessed with being the best.

A path that I was quickly following until I got a rude awakening.

So no, I have no issue with Damon Blackwater.

My father tried to kill him out of jealousy, and he died for it. End of story.

But this stranger, who came here spreading detrimental rumors with the intention of causing chaos, can't be trusted.

Still…

"Cody," I call through the mind link.

"On my way Alpha," he responds with alacrity.

I don't wait long before I hear a knock on the door and he walks in.

"Alpha," he greets. "You called for me?"

"Yes. I need you to send scouts to the Blackwater pack. Find out if there are other Alphas there."

"Yes, Alpha," he responds, turning to leave.

"And Cody," I say, stopping him. "Be discreet. They must not be caught."

"Of course Alpha."

I watch as he leaves before turning to my files.

I try as hard as I can to get the man out of my head but I can't.

There was something about him. Something familiar.

His scent.

Where have I smelt it before?

With a put-upon sigh, I get up and head for a walk around the pack, taking in the recent changes in place.

I thought it fitting to have the former Beta's residence to be turned into a shelter for the orphans.

The weak.

I hope he is turning in his grave.

"Alpha," I hear from behind me.

Turning around, I see Lucas, one of my Delta warriors.

"Lucas," I call. "Shouldn't you be canvassing the border?"

"I was doing that when I saw something. Someone."

"What did you see?"

"That man, the one who came to see you. I have seen him before. He was the one that James was tracking. "

What?!

James was the tracker who had been found dead with his organs dried up.

"How do you know this?" I demand.

"We were both watching the Lu-, Tammy that night before James went on to follow him."

"And you saw him that day?"

"Just a glimpse, when he turned away to leave. Also, his scent is very distinctive. It was on James' body when we found him."

Of course.
