Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Foolish Pride

"Sooo..."

Inez turned to look at Ajax, her gaze moving away from the bobbing computer that was floating in the swimming pool. If she knew that this was going to happen, she would have at least brought enough cash to compensate the poor bloke. She could imagine his confusion upon seeing his house broken into with everything intact and only the computer dumped in the swimming pool.

What kind of crazy bastard does that? Well, a bunch of random shifters who had no qualms against the poor human did.

"Do you think this computer was selected at random, or either of them is a witch or wizard?" Ajax asked Killian, who shrugged in response.

"I would say that this was random," said Inez.

Ajax turned to look at her and questioned, "How do you know that?"

"Firstly, these witches had gone to such lengths to hide their IP address and their identities. I don’t think that they would leave such a mess of evidence behind for us to catch them. These people are as human as they can be."

Killian agreed with her. "She has got a point."

Laxus ran his hand through his hair before saying, "Well, it’s been a pointless journey."

"Not necessarily." Killian flicked his head up as he scowled at the roof of the house like it had personally insulted him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"How did you figure that out?" Laxus frowned.

"Well, it answers at least one of our questions. There is no point in hunting the witches down electronically. We have seen through their traps, and it means that no matter how many times we trace them down, it’s going to be a dud. And that we have a traitor in the house. If not, how else would we explain the disappearance of the witches who were living in this house till now?"

He paused before adding, "It’s time we start hunting them down the old way." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"But we don’t have a clue to start looking for them," chimed Finn with a frown.

"Do you think they are still hiding in Silverhold?" Ajax questioned with his arms crossed in front.

Even though the pack was still shrouded in mourning, Morrineth’s much-awaited birthday party was still going to be held. Her reasoning was simple: if they stopped the party, then the other packs, including the council elders, would think that their pack had weakened and that would be freaking embarrassing. Plus, the witches would certainly be tickled by the thought of their pack turning upside down due to them.

This was the question of their pride as lycans. The top predator of the shifter world after the dragon but as the dragons were almost extinct, it was them at the top of the game.

Her reasoning, as twisted as it was, was accepted by everyone in the pack. Why? Shifters were all about pride after all; if their pride was questioned, they would definitely give it their all to fight back. Even if it meant arranging a stupid party.

Somewhere, Inez was sure that this was more of Morrineth’s manipulation at work than the pack’s pride, but hey! Who was she to say anything?

"Morrineth says that.... With your sorry condition, it will take you a good three hours to get ready. So you might as well start getting ready," the submissive lycan told her. Even though the woman had her head lowered, Inez had to admit that she had done a really good job in mimicking Morrineth. She even drawled the way that woman did when she was looking down at someone.

Inez pursed her lips. She had to remind herself that the poor submissive lycan was only doing her job, and it wasn’t Morrineth who stood in front of her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before saying to the woman, "Alright, you can leave now. Tell Morrineth that I will get ready and be at her very important party by seven. Cannot miss the cake even if the world were coming to an end, can I?"

In response, the submissive lycan just smiled sheepishly.
