The Wolf King's Luna

CHAPTER 24

DAMON.

"I SAID NO."

My wolf has been insistent on going for a run. For days.

It is irritating. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Like a kid high on sugar, he has been on edge, prowling around in my head, itching to go for a run.

It is why I am so antsy.

"Um, Alpha, is everything okay?"

I look up to see Faue standing there, soaking wet.

"What happened to you? You are soaked."

"I uh, dived into the river."

"why?"

"um, it is not important. I have news."

"on the other person?"

"yes. Tammy Fay. She is the supposed mate of Vance Sky."

"Fay? Fay. Why does that name sound familiar? Oh, right. Their beta is named Fay. Collin Fay."

"Cody Fay. And yeah, she is his sister."

"Did you bring her here?"

"No. I couldn't. She is under house arrest and all her windows have been barred."

"So we can't find out who she contacted?."

"Hmm, I don't think so.."

"Why do you say so?"

"I don't think she even knows who he is. Anyway, I found something else. Vance is-, was Catherine's mate."

A beat of silence and then…

"WHAT?"

What the hell is she saying? That Vance was the fucker that hurt her. So rejecting her wasn't enough, he had to kill her too?

"I overheard them discussing it. Vance and Tammy. It was Tammy who had Catherine beaten up and left for dead. She has done it because she didn't want Vance to change his mind. Vance found out and had the wolves involved killed and her under house arrest. "

"So that's why he had them burnt."

"I guess so."

"How did she know that Catherine was still alive? How did he know?" I ask.

"I have no idea about that. But I know that Vance has some people tracking Catherine's kidnapper" she answers

"What?" I exclaim as I rush to my feet. "How did he find him?"

"He waited for them to meet and then put someone on his trail. I wanted to follow them, but my wolf wouldn't budge."

"Why the hell not?"

"In her words- if I follow, I die. I think that person isn't normal."

Right, of course. How could I forget?

Wait.

"Why is he looking for her?"

She sighs at the question and an uncomfortable look comes over her face.

I am not going to like this answer.

"Apparently… he had a change of heart and wants Catherine back. As his mate and Luna."

"Like hell he does," I snarl. "Catherine is mine!"

"Yes, Alpha."

"Wher-"

At that exact moment, Melissa burst into the room, harried and out of breath.

"Mel. You are back, good. What did you find?"

"The falcon…" she pants. "He is dead."

"What?"

"What?"

"Yeah, I went into his estate and… oh my goddess, it was a horror show. A massacre."

"How does that even happen? He is the falcon. Didn't you see a body? His body?"

"Uhuh, it was laid out on his desk. He is dead Damon."

Who could do something like that?

"Who could do something like that?" fate asks horrified

"From the looks of it, someone very sick."

Our world is predominantly a werewolf society, but at its edges, there are certain… people, that stand out. Different gifts or talents give them a certain prestige.

The Falcon is one such person. He knows and sees things and of course, he tends to use the knowledge from that to his benefit but he is still an ally to the werewolf community.

A seer kind of.

How could he not have seen his death coming?

"Run now."

"Not again."

"We have to go now. It is getting late. Now. NOW!"

Oh shit. What the hell is wrong with you?

"RUN NOW!"

"I have to go," I tell the ladies as I barge past them. Rude, but I will apologize.

My wolf is trying to break my skull open.

"Damon?"

"Alpha, what's wrong?"

I hear them both trailing after me but I can't pay attention to them now.

Every nerve ending is on edge and alert like I might burst out of my skin if I don't turn.

The moment I am outside the mansion, I change.

And my paws haven't hit the ground before I take off running.

I have never run this fast.

This has to be a new record.

"Alpha!"

"Damon! Wait up."

Their voices are quickly fading away with the amount of ground I am tearing up.

"You know you can slow down right? Where are you even going?" I ask my wolf.

"Shut up. If we are late, it is your fault."

"That is rude. And what are we going to be late for? Where are you GOING?" I ask as we run past our border, scaring the patrols.

"Saving Catherine. We are going to save Catherine.

Wait what?"

"What do you mean by that? Do you know where she is? Is that why you wanted to go on a run? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"

"That is because I didn't know until I was out. You need to learn to listen to me."

I ignore him and push my strength into his to speed up the process. Behind me, I can hear both Melissa and Faye's wolf chasing after me.

Hold on Catherine.

I am coming.

SHADOW MAN.

It is hilarious that the wolf stalking me thinks he is doing a good job of it.

I noticed immediately it started spying on me and the little bitch.

Wolves.

Such disgusting and arrogant creatures.

If I had my way, I would rid this earth of all of them and use their fur to make winter coats.

That would be quite a collection of coats.

I stand in the shadows as I watch the fool turn around like a fool.

Searching for me.

Like he could.

It is that same arrogance I am talking about.

He doesn't see me move.

One minute, he is standing there like a lost puppy and the next, he is on the floor, staring at the moon with lifeless eyes.

Hmm, maybe I should have let him turn.

His coat would have been lovely.
