Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 98

ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

After what seemed like a split second but most definitely not, I arrived in front of the one place I knew Nolan and his wife would be hiding… the one place no one else would think to check.

The Wellington’s mansion.

Nolan’s home.

The idea could sound silly to anyone and perhaps that was why I didn’t inform my men about my suspicions, not even when I forcefully kicked down the front door. After Larisa played me, I was certain Nolan would try to as well but unfortunately for him, I was prepared.

Alone, yes but still prepared to face whatever was thrown at me.

On clue, Lex sniffed the house as I stepped inside and he instantly announced, “They are here. I knew it!”

They must take me for a fool…

“At least this one time you aren’t stupid.” Lex mocked despite the seriousness of the moment.

For goddess’s sake, I could be walking into a trap that would kill me.

Lex scoffed, “Like Nolan could kill you. That would be an insult.”

“Well quit chitchatting, we’ve got to find them,” I said firmly.

But Lex growled as I took another step, “I already found them. Nolan is hiding behind that pillar and he’s probably holding a weapon and Helne is somewhere upstairs, guarded by three men.” Lex didn’t hesitate to give me an overview of his conclusions after he sniffled the area.

And boldly, I called out without hiding my anger, “Reveal and surrender yourselves or you’ll have yourselves to blame.”

Nolan’s voice was shaky as he responded, fear radiating off him, “W-we did n-nothing wrong, A-alpha. Wh-why should we be detained or treated like criminals.”

“Because your daughter is a criminal,” I answered with a deep growl. “Or have you not heard that she killed my father and left his corpse to rot? Or how about how she locked my mother up? My parents did nothing wrong and they were locked up so why shouldn’t you and your wife suffer the same fate? It’s not like I didn’t capture your personal warriors on the crime scene.”

Whatever Nolan could have to say, I didn’t care. He was dying and his wife would too. I wouldn’t spare either of them.

“My daughter wouldn’t do that. She’s a sweet–”

“A pretender is what she is!” I snapped, throwing myself in front of the pillar Nolan had chosen as his hiding place.

Nolan swung the metal rod he was holding, aiming to attack me but the only thing he achieved was fueling my anger. I let out a growl as I dodged, twisting the rod out of his hand.

“Aahh…” Nolan screamed as I popped out his wrist.

Lex countered, "After the disgraceful betrayal Larisa slapped us with, no one can be trusted. Keep your eyes open this time."

I couldn't believe Lex but that wasn't all. I mean, I couldn't believe that for a minute, I tried to suspect Andrew. "I'll find the snitch after these traitors are punished," I said to my Wolf and I sat in silence afterward.

After five minutes, my men made it to Nolan’s mansion and shock was evident on their faces. Andrew was quick to pop a question while Jake and the other men grabbed the unconscious bodies.

“They were here all this time?” Andrew gasped.

“Yes, Drew and I think we have a snitch among us.” I let out my thoughts after the other men stepped out and Andrew gasped again.

“Are you saying someone let them out? Someone is working with Larisa?”

I nodded, “Yes and I need you to find him.”

Or maybe it’s a woman…

“I will, Alpha,” Andrew promised but I was about to regret my decision to let Andrew in on my suspicions.

However, that feeling of regret didn't sink in until the next day which I deem to call Wellington's Public Execution Day. It was time to smoke Larisa out or at least let her know that she had stepped on a deadly cobra's tail.
