The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf novel Chapter 32

Wright packed his car in front of the county’s tennis club. He had fixed a meeting with Mr. Johnson and Philip today at the club and it was almost time for the meeting.

He was sure that Philip and Mr. Johnson would be here waiting for his arrival. Due to the importance of this meeting, Philip flew into Edmonton this morning. It was a very crucial meeting and it required that they all met physically to talk about it. They also intend to play tennis together by the time they are through with the meeting.

Wright got down from the car and jugged into the tennis clubhouse. And just as he had envisaged, Mr. Johnson and Philip were already inside and were playing tennis.

“Hey fellas” he greeted them when he sighted them.

As he walked up to them, he exchanged quick pleasantries with other people that were in the clubhouse.

“Hey, Wright” Philip called out.

It has been long that Philip had seen his best friend, Wright. After the burial of Evolette, they have only seen once and that was a long time ago.

“You are here already man. How are you doing?” Mr. Johnson said as he looked up and saw Wright approaching them.

“Super” Wright responded.

Mr. Johnson and Philip stopped the game and they all went to sit on a bench away from those in the club.

“How is Rio? I am actually hoping I would see her before I fly back to Regina today” Philip asked.

“She is fine. But I doubt if she will let you go once she gets to meet you. You know it’s been long she met you and I must say that she misses you so dearly” Wright replied.

“She’s got to understand that I will make out time to be with her soon. I miss her too” Philip said.

“She would love that” Wright replied.

Wright cleared his throat “Okay, about the meeting, I want to know what is going on”

“There had been news of numerous rogues’ intrusion in Edmonton these past weeks” Mr. Johnson announced.

“What! And how come I have not heard of this?” Wright was shocked.

“Actually, at first we dismissed it as a mere coincidence and attached no meaning to it” Mr. Johnson replied.

“But then, I got wind of their presence in Edmonton. And even I thought that it was nothing but in order not to take chances, I decided to investigate them and so, I sent out delegates as spies to them. Our spied were able to gain their trust and they were able to discover that the rogues were on the lookout for you and your family. In fact, they have been going about asking for details about your family” Philip explained.

Wright was perplexed by this news. He had almost believed that the rebels had given up on getting him. He had given up everything for them, so why were they still looking for him?

“I see. So what is the plan now?” Wright requested.

“We can only keep them off, for now, alpha. But this is a fight that we cannot run away from. We should be ready to face it soon” Mr. Johnson replied.

“They would not leave, alpha, at least not until they are sure that they have the shadow wolf,” Philip said.

“And what has that got to do with me? I am not the shadow wolf. In fact, even Tabitha that I had rejected was not even the shadow wolf. What else do they want from me?” Wright lamented.

When Wright turned sixteen, everyone believed that just like his mum, he would have the shadow wolf on the night of the full moon. But to the dismay of the pack members, he had shifted to an alpha wolf, and also, he did not find a mate like his pairs.

He was the only child of his family and would not be able to ascend the throne unless he can get the shadow wolf. Due to the peculiarities of Tabitha, who was the most cherished and sort after damsel in the pack and the fact that her blood linage could be traced to the shadow wolf, everyone had believed that she would be the shadow wolf and thus, they had wanted Wright to marry her.

However, this was not the case with Wright’s cousin, Derrick who in his quest to get the throne by all means had led a pack of rebels and had forcefully converted Tabitha to his mate since he believed that she was the only woman alive that can bear a child with the shadow wolf.

This was the story of how Wright left the Shadow Rank Pack. His father, alpha Lucas had a very soft spot for his nephew, Derrick and he was annoyed at Wright’s refusal to settle with Tabitha so he declared that whoever borne the shadow wolf between Wright and Derrick would succeed him.

Wright who was completely against this arrangement by the alpha because of how dangerous Derrick was especially when he needs something quietly left the pack to start a normal life. However, wright’s exit did not deter Derrick from taking his fight to Wright.

“Tabitha’s daughter for Derrick just turned sixteen last month” Mr. Johnson announced.
