Kala POV
"Unusual activity not too far from our borders..."
"Spit it out Orpheus.. Hector's patience was wearing thin, as was mine.
For Hector to be wary of this pack meant it was for good reason.
"Take a look for yourself." This Alpha Orpheus throws the paper folder at Hector, who needs to let go of me to catch it.
As soon as his arms leave me, this young Alpha has wrapped his arms around my waist with one hand and was placing my hand to his lips with his other.
"A pleasure Luna...or do you like to be called Alpha." He smirks as he places a kiss on the back of my
hand.
"Either is absolutely fine." I pull my hand from out of his touch, before studying my palms...healing scars from the silver chains I ripped off Hector.
"What is this?" Hector growls next to me, as he flicks through page after page.
"Ariel images of an abandoned property that had unusual activity. Its been abandoned for years, does it look familiar."
"Yes, that is where we were kept..."
"I'll send a team of warriors..."
"Don't bother, it will be burnt to ash by now." Hector moans out, his hand swiping down his face.
"They might have left clues of where they went." Orpheus isn't so defeatist.
"They, no it was only one male...and I killed him."
Samson...he killed Samson.
My eyes look up to Hector, who meets my eye contact and holds it without giving anything away. That pull to him, that urge to kiss him almost overwhelms me but I hold it back. I killed Samson, I took his energy from him. I rammed us into the tree. "Two..." Orpheus huff breaks our eye contact.
"What?" Hector grunts.
"Two, there are definitely two figures in the images.." Orpheus snatches the images out of Hector's hold and points with his index finger.
"See two..."
He pulls a photograph out from the bottorn, this one was close up. My eyes cast upon the grainy photograph in front of me, Samson is pictured talking to a big male...someone I also know... "Zederick, that is Alpha Zederick...I thought I imagined it, dreamt it even with the amount of sedative they
gave me but look, he was definitely there."
Where?" Hector's chest rumbles.
"Here, this male..."
"Ah, that's not Alpha Zederick Kaia.."
"Yes, I met him at Jude's banquet."
"Kaia, Alpha Zederick is a close ally of mine, he sits on the board of the council. He couldn't make it to the banquet."
Why would someone pretend to be somebody they are not. Why would Alpha Zederick lie to me.
"Then who is it, if it isn't Alpha Zederick?" I snap at him, my own frustration coming through.
His eyes move closer on the grainy images before a deep rattling roar escapes him, and threatens to shake the very walls of this room.
"That is Alpha Marc Kaia, the Alpha of the Shadow Rock pack."
"What? No...he..." Doubt courses through me.
"He what?" Hector's grip on me tightens.
"He...told me...told me that you..."
"That I what?"
If Alpha Zederick had been Alpha Marc all along, he had played me.
Used my amnesia against me and pretended to be an ally, pretending to be somebody that had my best interest at heart, somebody that had been close to my father.
"Kaia?" My silence earns a demanding growl from Hector. I've been an idiot, I've trusted somebody when the person I should have trusted all along was standing right in front of me.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"He told me he saved me from the waters, that you were trying to control me like my father did..."
"You believed him over me?" His words were said through gritted teeth. The hurt in them was undeniable.
"He said he knew my father, that he knew my mother...
"We are leaving now...Send warriors if you want Orpheus but all you will find is a pile of ash and a dead body."
We were back on the road within minutes. Orpheus had leant us a pack car, insisting on a driver to accompany us but Hector refused.
His anger was making it hard to breathe in the vehicle,
My own alpha aura was coming out, inadvertently trying to counteract his...
"Hector, stop it....you're making it hard to breathe." I say after a sharp intake of air. It was getting more and more suffocating and I had no choice but to open a window even though it rattled against the high speed the car was travelling in
"Sorry." He mutters as he reins it back in, my lungs not feeling as restrictive now.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No."
"Hector..."
"I don't want to talk about it Kain. How you trusted the enemy over me, your own mate."
"It's not like that.....
"It's exactly like that. You were pissed at me for marking you, I get it...but if I hadn't of done so, you would be dead."
"I'm not angry at your for marking me..."
"Oh no"
"No not any more... Hector, I just didn't want to be controlled. People kept telling me how my father controlled me, I didn't want to fall into that trap again. Do you know how hard it is to wake up and femember nothing. Then everyone tell you what a villain your own father potentially was..."
"He wasn't a villain Kaia..."
"No? Because from what Samson said, he wiped out the entire pack. My mother's entire pack and killed Samson's parents for daring to go against him, for trying to protect me.
That's why I was sent away, not because I was in any real danger of an impending pack attack...but, because my own father decided to kill each pack member. Murder each pack member."
