The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 41

Avery

Alpha Philip took me to the other families that lost a member.

I watched alpha Philip’s confident gait.

He was like a clown in a circus to me.

I would have wanted him to play a while longer but I preferred him admitting his guilt rather than my urge to see him try to confuse us,

I observed every person we visited.

I could see the signs.

Some of these people cooperated with him while some were out of the loop.

I made sure to note down every face I found suspicious.

These people that connived to harm their fellow clansmen would soon have their just desserts.

There was no doubt about that.

We all went to the entrance of alpha Philip’s pack.

Alpha Philip morphed into a grey wolf and all the omega warriors shifted into their wolf form too.

Yuri’s wolf form was a wolf with light brown fur. Her wolf’s forehead had a patch of black hair. It gave her a hint of mystery.

Jaila’s wolf was inky black but her paws were pale white.

Rita was covered with yellow fur in her wolf form.

Alpha Philip began leading the way to the other two packs that had been. victim of the rogues kidnappings.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see a few werewolves following us. I don’t know why they were tailing us.

I don’t know if these werewolves hoped to see the omega warriors fail in their work.

I felt like they wanted to see a joke.

We reached the first pack soon.

The pack was desolate and depressing. Its atmosphere had taken a

nosedive.

We weren’t able to get what we want.

All the faces of the members of this pack was tight lipped. Even when they are refusing to cooperate, we can’t push them too much.

I could not help but throw a glare at alpha Philip.

Aside from the pain of losing their loved ones, I knew the motivations for these people current behavior was alpha Philip.

I knew he had a hand in the indifference this pack was showing us.

I took a deep breath.

Alpha Philip’s plans were too tight knit.

I had planned to delay our investigations.

I wanted to use our overnight stay as an excuse to search alpha Philip’s office.

But them, I realized that someone who had the guts to cooperate with rogues would not keep the evidences that might incriminate him in a office.

I don’t know about other people but from what I observed so far, alpha Philip wasn’t that stupid.

Since he had the guts to call on the omega warriors for help, he had the guts to hide his traces.

He would have hidden the trails his actions left.

The only way I could unravel this case quickly was to approach the weak links in alpha Philip’s coverup.

The people that works with alpha Philip are his weak links.

Alpha Philip might be able to remain tight lipped but his aides would not be able to

I would not mind it even if I have to use torture to get what I want.

I might be selfish and heartless for thinking of using torture to extract a confession.

Alpha Philip took us to the next pack.

Because I could not find any avenue to corner alpha Philip in the first pack, I needed to look carefully for any thing that is suspicious in the second pack.

This was my last chance of subduing alpha Philip.

If I did not find anything in this pack we are going to, trying to solve this case would be a lot harder.

It would even be bordering on accomplishing the impossible because alpha Philip would be in an alert state.

It would be harder to find a loophole that would be used to catch him off guard.

Alpha Philip might even stop dealing with rogues in order to throw us off

his tail. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Then all the victims that had fallen prey to him would not get any justice. given to them.

Their cases would just be over like that.

It was the worst possibility that can happen.

I do not want to see that possibility coming to pass at all.

Since Yuri didn’t say any word to reprimand my way of doing things, it can basically be confirmed that I was following a procedure they would have used to catch the mastermind of this kidnappings.

We finally reached the second pack.

The atmosphere of this pack was very similar to the first one.

I have never seen a pack with such desolation hanging in the air.

It made me uncomfortable.

I could see the signs that this pack would lead us to a dead end.

I sighed.

It seemed alpha Philip’s manipulative hands reaches this pack too.

I was feeling down because of my conclusion but I didn’t let that stop me.

I was still going to check this pack out.

I shifted back into my human form. I walked into the pack after I was done with my transformation.

Yuri and the other female warriors were right on my tail.

I stood in the center of the pack.

I was going to use an approach I hadn’t tried on the previous pack. The omega warriors are here to look into the recent kidnappings the rogues are doing. If anybody has a clue or a lead that would advance this. investigation, it would be helpful.” I shouted at the top of my lungs.

My voice echoed throughout the pack.

In my mind, I was praying.

I hoped that there was one person that would come out to give us helpful information.

I had a nagging feeling that some werewolves knew about alpha Philip’s evil agenda of selling out his fellow clansmen to rogues because of material benefits.

Even if alpha Philip wasn’t the main perpetrator of this awful act, I knew that his hands was deeply embedded in these recent kidnappings.

I just don’t understamd why they are keeping quiet.

It might be because if the benefits alpha Philip had given to them and it might be because alpha Philip had already tried to shut their mouths by demonstrating his prowess.

I was trying to target those people that had been held under his rule by the threat of his powers.

They are the best way to poke into alpha Philip’s defence.

These group of people would be easier to convince that the werewolves who had joined alpha Philip’s scheme because of material wealth and benefits.

Those people are like Peter.

It was very obvious that he implicitly gave the permission to kidnap his daughters to these the rogues.

“I have already tried all these ways you are using. It didn’t work. That is the reason we even called you to help us.” Alpha Philip had an expression of mock pity in his face.

If I had not seen the signs that pointed to him being related to the culprit, I would have believed the acting he did.

I did not pay a heed to him and none of the omega warriors replied his words.

His words were just left in the air.

I bit my lip as I looked towards Yuri, Jaila and Rita.

I felt like I had ribbed their job from them.

I knew that they didn’t mind what I was doing. It can be said that they had been satisfied with my performance so far.

They would have spoken up if I wasn’t doing things the right way.

Somebody rushed out the depths of the pack. The person arrived before

1. me.

I scanned the new arrival.

The man was in an unkempt state.

His clothes was ragged and madness was in his eyes. A group of people darted out of the pack towards me.

They were clearly here for the man that came earlier.

I returned my gaze to the man that rushed out of the pack first.

I was taken aback by the madness I saw in his eyes.

Werewolves weren’t like humans. Their body was exceptional and human diseases normally didn’t affect them.

It is very abnormal for a werewolf to acquire an human disease. It is even more abnormal for a werewolf to run mad.

Right away, I knew this man must have lost his family member to the plot alpha Philip and the rogues concocted.

He seemed to have gone crazy from grief.

I can not begin to imagine how much that person must have meant to this man.

His madness was frightening.

I could understand him somehow.

When I lost my mother and I had to face the mocking and scorn of the habitants of the Silver Crescent Pack, I almost went beyond the brink.

It was a dark period of my life.

Till now, I could not pinpoint what brought me out of my grief.

Beside me, alpha Philip’s face changed.

He bowed, “I am sorry. I let you see such unsavory person, please forgive me.”

His words went in one ear and came out of the other.

To me, all his words and actions was like a bid to cover his tracks up.

It was something I would not allow him to do.

“Take him away.” Alpha Philip orders and the group that dashed after the mad man nodded.

They were about to apprehends the mad man when I interrupted them.

This is an opportunity for me and I was not going to watch it slip from my fingers.

Deep down, I knew that if I let this mad man go, everything is finished.

There might not be a way to catch alpha Philip again and the case might be abandoned.

Besides, I knew this man before me had something to say.

In the chance that what he says turn out to be incriminating I can use the reactions of the people before me to judge the number of people that was cooperating with alpha Philip.

“Let him talk.” I said to them after I stopped them..

I looked at the man that had gone crazy.

A little bit of clarity came into his eyes.

My opportunity to strike laid in his hands.

It was either now or never.
