The Moon Goddess's Gift

Chapter 2 - Shadow Pack

Alpha King POV

For a few years I had been investigating the Shadow Pack, I had received many reports of missing Women and Pups and somehow I felt the Shadow Pack was connected to it all.  Alpha Rodney was not a loyal Alpha to the kingdom which made the investigation that much harder.  He was ruthless so I couldn't even risk sending a spy in.  But that all changed today.

I was looking over a report sent to me by Alpha Thomas of the Night Pack which reported that they had found a female fleeing on to their territory.  The she wolf had told them that she was being held captive at the Shadow Pack and managed to escape but there were many more being held there.  Unfortunately the she wolf died not long after but this was enough evidence for me to destroy the pack.  Alpha Thomas was only a temporary Alpha following the death of the packs Alpha and Luna, once their heir found her mate Thomas would step down.  

My Beta Ethan and I worked on a plan and with the help of our strongest packs we were set to attack.  Thomas had asked to be involved and I gave his pack the first wave of attack.  As I handed out tasks to all the packs involved.  Alpha Logan of the Eclipse Pack who was a dear friend of mine was not happy that I gave his pack the task of rescuing the prisoners.  Logan and I had spent many months together as we grew up and his family had sent him to the Royal Pack to train to become there next Alpha I knew him personally and knew of his kindness which is why I felt that task was perfect for him.  

Everything was planned out and we were ready, I had the entire pack surrounded and before Shadow Pack knew what was happening we were in and taking over.  I wanted Alpha Rodney and his high ranking wolves alive but Thomas reported that Rodney attacked them and they had to kill them all.  As much as I wanted to question Rodney I knew it was for the best.  

Alpha Logan had successfully rescued 75 women and children and reported them in good physical health.  What was Rodney’s motive?  He kept everyone healthy which made me think he was involved in trading and slaves.  But I would not get those answers now.

It seemed everything was wrapped up.  Any survivors of the pack were held in the dungeons until we could question them and relocate the innocent and punish the guilty.  I relaxed and enjoyed the moment, that was until my phone rang with a call from Alpha Logan that changed everything.
