The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381

Sebastian chuckled, a sharp sound breaking the tense air. “For a while, I honestly thought they were managing alright. But what I really wanted was to see Jeff’s expression the moment you sent him back to the Goddess. After everything he’s done, and while we’re all suffering here, he got off way too easy.”

I cut in, my voice steady but carrying a hint of satisfaction. Both men turned to me, puzzled. “Actually, you’re lucky in that regard. Jeff’s still locked up in the cells. The healers took his crime personally—killing my mother right under their watchful eyes. They’ve been assisting me, using their own unique skills to extract information from him.”

Sebastian leaned forward, eyes sharp with interest. “Wait, you still have him alive? Has he told you anything useful?”

I shook my head slowly. “Nothing that helps us much. But strangely, this process seems to give the healers a sense of peace, a new purpose in all this chaos.” I shrugged, trying to downplay the complexity. “We also caught another rogue working alongside him. He was spotted darting through Junior’s pack, abandoning his team and everything else just to escape.”

Ben finally spoke, breaking the silence that had settled over us since we’d sat down. “You’ve been focusing on tracking wolves and following scents. What about the magic involved? Have you considered that angle?”

“We suspected magic, of course,” I replied. “It’s the only logical explanation for how they’re pulling this off. But so far, we haven’t uncovered anything beyond that.”

“Have you tried working with casters to trace the magic’s source or identify the spells being used?” Ben asked, his tone serious.

“No,” I admitted. “None of us have contacts willing to collaborate.”

Ben’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Well, you’re in luck. I know a few. The challenge is getting them to meet with us—and then to open up. Alpha James has some theories and reached out to his own network. There are witches willing to talk, but they come with conditions.”
