“Luke?”
Negative
“No,” he retorted. “Observe what she did, the inappropriate remarks she compelled me to utter, with Bella present to overhear.”
Merits solitude, devoid of assistance or companionship.
“Luke, Bella had confidence that you would seek her out; she placed her trust in both you and Maddis.”
He was pleased to hear that as he down the stairs, placing his hand on the railing to ascend.
“Luke, if you abandon Mia here to depart.”
She will continue to pose a threat to Bella and the triplets. Her account to you differed from her account to us.
That captured his full attention, “What do you mean?””
“She had that Alpha present outside, not within, for a purpose.” The agreement she made was not just to relinquish Bella to him, which she intended to do, but also to have that Alpha eliminate you. She plans to reclaim the pack and eliminate the triplets.
His gaze shifted to his ex, a malevolent individual overall, yet he could not bring himself to murder a pregnant she-wolf or one in labour.
“She is no longer merely your former partner, Luke; she has become your adversary, the Luna’s adversary, and a direct menace to Bella and her offspring.” To our group. The situation will not conclude here; the she-wolf is deranged.
He regarded Macky with a profound scowl, stating, “What do you suggest I do with her? I cannot kill her in her current state or while she has a newborn; that would be a reprehensible act.” Nevertheless, he contemplated, “I would be no better than she is.”
“Surrender her to the council, specifically to Alpha Philip.” I am confident he would assist, given the circumstances and his proximity to her grandmother.
Alpha Philip might ensure that Mia faced punishment, as he would likely prioritise the safety of Bella and the triplets. He was also aware of her condition and the reasons for its onset. He had communicated to Alpha Philip his conviction that both he and Mia were culpable.
When he had been presented with the information. He had not spoken anything; he merely groaned and stated he would investigate the matter himself to determine if the council possessed any pertinent information.
“He may, I presume.” Luke acknowledged, “although there is no assurance that she will face formal repercussions; they might merely assign her to another pack to rear that child.”
“They may incarcerate her; such facilities do exist, you are aware, in the royal kingdom of Wolfen.” Far removed from our realm, via those portals.
He was aware that he was obligated to attend an annual Alpha meeting with the King in the Wolfen Kingdom. “They are intended for the most egregious individuals; is she one of them?” I am uncertain whether the king’s seers would perceive her in that manner.
“Regardless, you cannot abandon her here; she will undoubtedly return to exact vengeance, I assure you.” She unequivocally detests Bella; this much is clear to me.
Luke fixed a hostile gaze on the lady before turning and ascending the stairs, requiring a minute to contemplate the situation; he did not wish for her to return as a potential threat, and indeed, eliminating her would resolve that issue. However, she was currently in labour, and the life of a wolfen was revered. The girl had committed no offence warranting death, and if he were to shoot her at this moment, the puppy would undoubtedly perish as well.
Outside the foul-smelling location, he discovered all his troops awaiting him. Benzy and Lanky were inspecting their troops for critical injuries when the sound of a man’s shouting captured his attention; it appeared that someone was still alive.
He stood and awaited developments while contemplating the matter of Mia and how to address it. After a few minutes, he observed Jodi and Bradley dragging a man towards him into the clearing. He noticed movement to his left and quickly turned his head, tense and prepared to act, only to find one of his warriors still in a state of readiness. He remarked, realising that his own Alpha had been poised to confront him.
Luke relaxed, and he sensed Maddis also becoming at ease. The man was carrying multiple bags in both hands, with all the garments stored in the trunk of his automobile for convenient access.
He redirected his focus to the prisoner being brought towards him. He claimed that all individuals should perish.
What accounted for its continued survival? He was now inquisitive. Although it was feasible, Jodi and Bradley were unaware of Maddis’s directive. That man was discarded just before him. “He pursued Bella,” Jodi remarked bluntly. “However, we apprehended him.”
“Bella escaped, Alpha,” Brad exhaled deeply. “She’s remarkably swift now,” he remarked, shaking his head. “I have never witnessed her run like that before.”
