The Wolf King's Luna

CHAPTER 28

VANCE.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about? I am her mate!" I snap at him.

What is wrong with this wolf?

"Not anymore, you are not. You rejected her, and she accepted your rejection. There is nothing linking you two together apart from your obsession."

"That is bullshit. It has just been a few weeks and you think she will just get over me like that?"

"what was there to get over? Your abuse? Disregard and indifference? You really do have a bloated sense of importance. The moon goddess gave Catherine another mate, and from the looks of it, he cherishes her and she, him. He could find her that fast because of their bond. A bond you no longer have because you are a stupid human."

"How would you even know that? Every information you get is because I get it too. How can you know that?"

"Wrong again. We are spirit wolves, given to you by the moon goddess. On a deep and subconscious level, we are all connected. And while I might not know exact things, we get a sense of them. If you lot listened to us more often, half of the crap you get yourselves into wouldn't have happened."

"Catherine doesn't have another mate. I AM HER MATE."

"You rejected her. She is done with you. Stop making a nuisance of yourself and making everybody miserable because of your choices."

I snarl out at his senses. Whirling around to punch a tree. My hand comes out the other end with splinters.

"You can blame anyone you want but at the end of the day, the only reason her abuse continued after your father's death was because you permitted it. You might have not joined in, but your silence in the face of all that spoke volumes. Be realistic Vance, why would she ever want to come back here? Where her parents were murdered without a factual explanation. Where she was abused within the inch of her life every day from that. Where her mate took one look at her and rejected her. And not just that, you chose her chief tormentor as your mate. Where do you even get off thinking you can get away with this? That she would look at you and willingly come back?"

"Who is he?" I snap.

I receive a snort as a response.

"ANSWER ME!" I roar.

He doesn't respond. I feel him retreat into my mind, disregarding my fury and going dark.

How dare he.

Fine then.

"You can stay there all you want, you don't get to shift until you answer my questions," I tell him out loud.

Another snort and then…

"Is that supposed to hurt me? You need my strength. But please, carry on. I am ashamed to be your wolf anyway. You and Tammy do deserve each other."

And then silence.

No, absence.

He cloaked himself.

The fucker.

"AAARGH," I roar out loud.

Turning around in a fit of rage, I storm into the Fay household, roaring at the top of my voice.

"DAWSON! SHOW YOURSELF."

BLACKWATER PACK.

DAMON.

I gently close the door to the bedroom, careful not to disturb Catherine from her nap.

Being captured, chained, gagged, and blinded for days must be so traumatizing.

She needs the rest.

Especially after her openness in answering our questions.

I know she didn't open up about a lot of things, like her abuse. But we didn't push her. Our imaginations were enough. A pack that kills and burns their wolves must have different ways of torturing them.

Goddess, she is so strong.

I am impressed by her ability to still smile and laugh. After tenacity and stubborn will to live.

Don't get me wrong, I am still hurt that she tried to run away, but I can respect that action.

She wasn't willing to die without a fight.

She is going to make a wonderful Luna.

"It is a lot, isn't it?" Mel asks from my side as we walk away.

When Catherine had given me the go-ahead to ask questions, I had summoned Mel. She has been the one on top of the Skylight pack, she would know what questions to ask.

"It is. I don't know how to feel," I tell her.

"Oh, I know how I feel. Mad. With rage. I am going to kill them all."

"You will have to get in line. I am her mate after all."

"No fair. You can kill Vance and Tammy, and I can have the rest." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Vance," I growl as the rage begins to simmer again, making me see red. "What a pathetic mutt."

"I am sure he thinks she will forgive him, after all, he didn't join in the abuse."

"Bullshit. He condoned it. He supported it. With his silence. The Alpha watched as a member of his pack was abused and tormented, daily. He is not exempt from it."

"I know that," she says with hands raised towards me. " If he didn't want her in his pack, if they all hated her that much, they should have kicked her out and not have kept her as everyone's punching bag. Oh, the more I talk about it, the angrier I get. We need a plan," she snaps.

"A plan," I ask with a raised eyebrow.

"On how we are going to fuck them up. We have always planned on doing this, now we have more of a reason, Catherine."

"I hear you, I do. But, all these happened when she was still a member of their pack. I can't attack them on that basis."

"What about now?"

"Sorry, I am not getting you."

"Catherine is no longer a member of their pack. Instead, she is your mate. Tammy Fay, ordered an assassination attempt on your mate. Tammy is the recognized mate of Vance, she has the same authority as him. In the eyes of the world, it will be seen as his order, and with the way they have been treating their members, people would believe it."

"And we can kill them for it."
