The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 58

THE SKYLIGHT PACK

VANCE 

I walk into the mansion, so deep in my thoughts, ignoring the salutations I got from my pack members. 

“Cody!” I called the moment I got in. 

He comes running 

“Yes Alpha!” he stood, head bowed, hands behind his back. 

“This is a conspiracy!” I roared. 

He just stood, not saying a word. 

I pace the length of the room. 

“They already conspired against me and if I didn't go there I wouldn't have known” I heaved in annoyance. 

“Alpha Craig and all those??” 

Turning to Cody 

“What do you think they were talking about?”

A frown marred his features as he raised his head to look at me “I don't know, Alpha”

“ I don't know, alpha” mimicking him. 

“But why would the collector gather all those bodies and hang them at Alpha Damon’s territory?” I asked thoughtfully. “ why would he painstakingly look for females that look just like Catherine? I furrowed my brow in concentration when a thought crept in. 

I spun round to Cody “We would be going back to the Blackwater pack”

“Again?” Cody asked me his eyes flicked with confusion 

“Yes, again.” I was enjoying the realization I had just had but more the sheer look of helplessness in Cody’s eyes. 

“But -but - why, Alpha?” he stuttered 

“Are you questioning an alpha’s order?”

“No alpha” he bent his head, looking at his feet. 

“Well; Catherine is in the Blackwater pack” I let out. 

His head came up sharply as he gasped in surprise 

“Your Lu-” 

“Yes, Catherine.” I interrupted. I wasn't about to be reminded of how I rejected her. 

“But - but how do - do you know Alpha?”

“I know everything” 

Sitting down on the chair. 

“I sensed her the moment I got in.”

He nodded slightly. 

“Remember the cookie we ate?”

His brow creases as he tries to remember. 

“… I knew I had eaten it before. Somewhere. It wasn't until the ride home when my brain was cleared of those alphas that I remembered that I had eaten it in my pack and it was only Catherine that made it.”

“OK,” he nodded in agreement. “But why would they be hiding her?” he asked, his voice lacing with confusion. 

“I don't know yet, but I will soon. We will be going back” I said and left for my room.

CODY

I walk solemnly to Tammy’s cell. 

I didn't know my sister was capable of all the things I had found out that she had done. It felt like I didn't know her anymore. 

I wish I didn't have to see her. 

“Cody!!!” she gushes remorsefully 

I nodded. 

I kept staring at her lost for words.  

“Cody, I'm so sorry.”
