Chapter 65 (a)
Matteo
I had to inform Dad about what we had discussed. It was alarming to know that my uncle was trying to use the wolves by building their own kingdom. I know what will happen next. He will surely betray them to become king. And wolves normally have no match for Lycans. If uncle had insisted these thoughts to any wolf with greedy thoughts, he would surely succeed to use that wolf.
“Dad,” I said when he answered and told him everything. I’m sure that he was furious because he was the most protective of the wolves. It never occurred to him that anyone of our kind will do something like this since we grew up being thought to become their protector and mediator.
“You must do everything to find him. After you left, Rapha assigned someone to get back to the cabin where Camila was held captive. They will search the whole place and before I forget, Rapha has found a new traitor. He already asked someone to follow him and ended up in another cabin on the other side of the palace territory.” Dad said, “It appears that our enemy was trying to surround us with their hideouts and that is not a good idea.” he added,
“How did Rapha find a traitor?” I asked,
“It was when Freya told us about her being the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Howlers Pack. Someone was listening to their
conversation when they reached the training hall and continued discussing it. Good thing is, Rapha asked someone to follow Freya all the time and undetected even if she was around us.”
“The one guarding her secretly saw the traitor listening to them?” I
asked.
“Yes. He mind linked Rapha so he knew that he gave away some information since Freya was saying something. He didn’t want to alert the traitor so he just let her talk. It was just a relief that all she said was about being cautious and careful.”
“We already found two of their hideouts and we don’t have any idea as to how many there were. Dad, this is really serious. If uncle was really trying to build a royal wolf and betray them later, then he surrounded the palace, I’m certain that he had started and prepared for this a long time ago.” I said, worriedly,
“That’s why I want you to focus there. We will try to find out everything we need so if ever your uncle started to make a move there, he wouldn’t be able to take any actions or damages here.” Dad said, “We will make sure that he can’t do what he pleases.”
We ended our call after we came to an agreement. We’re not going to leave the region and will look into the pups. That will be our top priority. I had to tell this to the others and start the investigation the next morning. We can’t waste any more time as uncle’s plan was starting to execute. We must stop him at all costs.
The following day, Freya, Calvin, James and Clay are with me on the
way to the woods to search for potential hideouts. Alec and Camila were left in the pack to look after the training. We have a few warriors and there’s more to come in the afternoon as I requested it to dad when we talked.
Freya and Clay are with me while Calvin and James are together. We divided our group into two to make the search more productive. Each group has 5 Lycan warriors and a warrior from Crimson Pack to guide us and tell us about the territory. We are confident that we will be able to find something. Since dad told me that another hideout was found in the outskirts of the palace, that is where we started our search.
We roam around the Crimson Pack territory and we are glad that we didn’t find anything from there. I mind linked Calvin and asked them about what they were doing and it was the same for us. “Is that another pack’s territory?” I asked Noel, the Crimson Pack warrior.
“It’s the neutral territory. It was a small land and next to it is the Red Moon Pack.” he answered.
“It’s the pack where two of their pups were missing, right?” I asked again,
“Yes, his highness. They have a family that came from the first werewolf.” he informed us.
“Lets search in there. Since we will be passing the neutral territory, we will start from there.” I added and told Calvin about it.
‘We will be there,‘ he replied. Then we headed for the neutral territory where humans, rogues, different pack members and other species meet.
