Chapter 91
Adrian’s POV
“She can hypnotize now?” Mom asked, intrigued and I nodded. My mate is surely full of surprises. She looked shy and looked down at her hands, wringing them together. With the rate at which she wrung her hands together, I was surprised her limbs were still intact.
“I think it’s high time she started training properly, that way she can improve on herself more and we can discover more of her talents”, Dad said from where he sat. I wanted to disagree with him since I didn’t want her to push herself too hard, but it was necessary.
We might try to ignore the fact that the war was upon us but it doesn’t stop the fact that we have to face it sooner or later. For the past two weeks, it’s been unusually quiet like he was waiting for the perfect time to strike again.
The ceremony was held in hopes of catching the traitor or at least making him show his face since I was going to be officially introducing Lola as the Luna of my pack. Instead, a hysterical Fay almost ruined our party.
Yeah, Fay. I almost forgot..
“Nathan”, I called through our mindlink. “Yes, Alpha”, he replied in a teasing tone and I shook my head with a slight smile. “Aren’t you. supposed to be enjoying your time with our Luna right now? What do you want to tell me that can’t wait?” He asked. “I’m not on honeymoon and I just got crowned, I need to take care of pack issues too”, I told him.
“What does your highness want?” He asked, sarcasm dripping from his
words but I ignored him. “What of Fay? Have you checked in with the guards that took her into the dungeon? Has she been questioned or I need to come in?” I asked, a bit aggressive. My blood boiled when I remembered how she almost took out my mate. She might have been. dead if I had not taken the bullet for her.
“I was on my way before you reached out. I’ll let you know when I get there. Do you want to question her yourself or I should do so and report back to you?” He asked. “I’ll come in to question her myself, I’ll be there in an hour”, I said. “And Nathan?” I called out to him again. “Yes, buddy”, he replied. “Check if the Moonlit pack traitors have been fed. Lola still holds a soft spot for them”, I said and I could picture him nodding his head. “Sure, I’d get back to you on that”. And with that, the midlink closed off.
“Who were you talking to?” My queen asked me when I finally
focused on their conversation again. “Nathan. I asked him to report the situation at the dungeon to me”, I said before standing up. Lola stood up after me too.
“I’m going to the dungeon to question Fay, baby. You should stay here with Mom and Dad”, I said and her face contorted in rage. “If you’re going to question that bit ch, I’d like to be there too. I want to know why she thought it was okay to shoot my mate”, her voice had changed and I knew Jasmine was coming to the surface.
“Da mn! She looks so se xy when she’s enraged”, Daxon said in my head. and I rolled my eyes. Finished wolf. He wasn’t lying though, she looked hot as hell.
“You said you wouldn’t be stepping foot in the dungeon again. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?” She looked shaken up before she masked it. She was about to open her mouth when Nathan’s voice. sounded in my head.
“You should come and see this, Adrian. It’s urgent”, Nathan said with
urgency in his voice. “I have to go”, I said and left the house.
I arrived at the dungeon in record time and saw Nathan waiting outside. the dungeon. The air was thick with worry and I saw warrior’s bodies. lying on the ground. “What happened here?” I asked him as I got closer.
“Fay is gone. The Alpha and Luna of Moonlit pack are dead”. he said. with a solemn face. “Fay is gone? Gone as in dead?” I asked. “Gone as in disappeared into thin air. man”. he said. “I met the warriors’ bodies on the ground when I got here. It was like someone knocked all of them out. When I went into the dungeon, the Alpha and Luna were dead and Fay was gone”. he said.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and slowly exhaled. It has to be that man because there was no scent in the air. I moved towards one of the warriors and checked for signs of life and they were breathing, just knocked out.
I walked into the dungeon and almost retched with the sight in front of me. It was a good thing I did not bring Lola along with me, she’d have relapsed into her numb state.
Their hearts were not removed. they were gutted before they got dismembered. A white note peeked out from the mess on the floor. I walked through it and picked it up. The note read thus:
“Good luck finding the traitor amongst you. I’d come for MY QUEEN soon. Alpha Adrian”. I squeezed up the paper and let out a loud growl before stepping out of the dungeon.
“Find them! Find every single one of them!” I ordered. Nathan and the warriors that were standing around took off immediately. Deep down, I knew they weren’t going to be found but I felt so useless waiting around for my mate to be taken away from me.
“Adrian?” I looked up to find Lola with my parents. She rushed. towards me and looked me over. “Are you hurt anywhere? Where did you get blood on you? What happened? I was worried when you left without saying anything, we all were”, she gestured to my parents who were looking at us from afar.
She gasped when she saw the bodies on the ground. “Are they dead?. What happened here? Where’s Andrew and Natalia? Where’s Fay?” She fired rapidly and I just stared at her blankly.
She made to enter the dungeon and I pulled her back, holding her against me.
“They’re dead, baby. They were killed”.
