Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

Emma Frost, banished from pack activities, witnessed Ethan strangling me from afar, her cries unheard and unheeded as her wolf cowered in fear. She had been watching from behind a pillar, too terrified to intervene.

I was dragged to where Emma stood, my expensive shoes lost, designer socks torn, and manicured nails broken. The pain was excruciating, my wolf howling internally from the rough treatment.

The guards dumped me and my wheelchair beside Emma, warning us to stay away from Silvercrest Pack territory. "If either of you steps foot on pack lands again without Alpha Stone's permission, we won't be so gentle," one guard growled, his eyes flashing with werewolf warning.

Emma rushed to my side, tending to my injuries with tears streaming down her young face. "Mommy, are you okay? You're bleeding!"

Ignoring her daughter's concern, I slapped Emma, berating her for being useless. "You couldn't even warn me in time!"

Despite my anger, I realized Emma's usefulness in my current helpless state and decided against further abuse. I coldly demanded to be helped back into my wheelchair.

Emma's small wolf whimpered but obeyed, still loyal despite the mistreatment.

(Ethan's POV)

Back in my Alpha Vehicle, I struggled to contain my rage. My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, wanting to inflict unimaginable pain on Victoria without killing her, making her suffer for her crimes against my daughter and mate.

The leather steering wheel creaked under my grip as I fought for control. Maxwell sat silently beside me, knowing better than to speak when my wolf was this agitated.

I thought of getting evidence from Connor Blackthorn to bring Victoria to pack justice through proper channels rather than vigilante violence. Legal retribution would be more satisfying than a quick death.

Remembering Olivia's accusations and Connor's initial claims of having evidence of Victoria's involvement in James Knight's murder, I questioned Connor's sudden retraction. Something had changed his mind about cooperating.

I recalled seeing Connor with Victoria at the Moonlight Manor and Connor's protectiveness towards Emma. The way he had shielded the young girl from harm was telling.

I realized that Emma was Connor's weakness, the key to making the imprisoned wolf cooperate. His paternal instincts toward her could be leveraged.noveldrama

Arriving at the Northern Territory Detention Facility, I learned that Connor refused to see anyone. The guard informed me he had been completely uncooperative since his arrest.

I asked to speak to Connor through the intercom, threatening to make Emma's life miserable if he didn't cooperate. "Connor Blackthorn, if you don't see me, I'll ensure Emma suffers for your stubbornness."

Connor's agitated response, his wolf's distress evident even through the electronic system, confirmed my suspicions about his attachment to the young girl. "You bastard! Leave her alone!"

Connor was brought to meet with me. Maxwell stayed with the facility guard to monitor the conversation.

I offered to temporarily care for

Emma until Connor's release in

exchange for the evidence against

Victoria I'll ensure the pup is

well-treated and protected within the

pack I promised, my Alpha voice

carrying the weight of an

unbreakable vow.

(Third person's POV)

Meanwhile, Victoria and Emma were

in a taxi near the detention facility.

Victoria realized that Olivia had

revealed her secrets to Ethan,

including her role in Lily's death and

her malicious actions towards the

true Luna.

Fearing Ethan's retribution, she rushed to the facility to silence Connor before Ethan could reach him. Her wolf, though weakened from the earlier confrontation, was driven by desperation.

"Driver, hurry!" she commanded, her voice hoarse from Ethan's assault.

Inside the detention facility, Ethan

assured Connor that he would honor

his promise to care for Emma,

emphasizing that it was a minor

matter for an Alpha of his standing.

"The pup will want for nothing while

in my care," he stated firmly, his

wolf's scent conveying sincerity

despite their adversarial history.

Connor studied Ethan's face, searching for deception. The Alpha's amber eyes held steady, showing no signs of falsehood.

Connor, torn between trusting Ethan and protecting Emma, requested a day to consider the offer. "I need time to think about this arrangement."

Ethan and Maxwell left the facility, with Maxwell optimistic about obtaining the evidence and bringing Victoria to pack justice, believing it would pave the way for Ethan's reconciliation with Olivia.

As they walked to the car, Ethan received a call from Maxwell, informing him that Evelyn Winters was being discharged from the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den early.

Ethan asked. "Have the arrangements for the purchase of moonlight herbs been made?"

"I will be right over," he promised, his thoughts turning to Olivia and her mother's recovery.
