Chapter 14 : Red-handed.
"Asher is it you?" Ginger asked surprised when she saw him. Asher blenched, then tried to regain his composure, which puzzled Ginger.
"As you're never in your office at this hour, I thought someone had broken in." said Ginger, looking at him more closely and cautiously.
"But I don't understand you Asher. I see you landing on the floor through the window like you're coming from outside. And it's weird, your pants are soaked up to your knees. Where did you come from? you?" asked Ginger.
"Who me?" Asher said in turn.
"Of course I'm talking about you Asher. Who else do you want it to be besides you?" Ginger insisted, watching left and right. "Since there's only you in this room?"
in embarrassment, Asher proceeded to scratch his head, "Well, you'll never believe me. That's a long story." he said as if to discourage her from trying to find out.
"Which I would be delighted to listen to." Ginger added, as if to finish Asher's sentence.
"Well, last night I came out of the palace grounds to do my little investigation into the traitors that Grendel talked about. I saw someone suspicious and I went after him. But I didn't I was able to catch him. He escaped me and I came back." Asher said.
"And your pants, why are they soaked?" Ginger asked skeptically.
"Ah! The pants. It's that in the chase, I jumped and landed in a puddle." replied Asher.
"Honestly Asher. Who would believe such a story? You on the streets of Darkfire city chasing someone suspicious." resumed Ginger. "I don't believe a word of it."
"Since I'm telling you it's the truth. I have no interest in lying to you." Asher insisted more seriously.
"So if it's serious, we need to let Grendel know about that suspect you've been chasing."
"No, no it's not worth it. It's a track that I prefer to follow alone. You know that I have not yet regained the complete trust of people. So I have to make a strong contribution to this investigation to prove my loyalty." Asher said.
"Since you insist, I believe you." Ginger finished dubiously.
"By the way, what were you doing in my apartments so early?" Asher asked trying to change the subject.
"I came to see you. But since you obviously have to take a shower, I'll come back."
With that, Ginger closed the office door behind her. But she was convinced that Asher was lying to hide something serious that she was going to do everything to find out.
"That was hot for me. I hope she bought my spiel." Asher said behind her, opening the door a c***k to see if she had gone.
For her part, Skylar was woken up by Lyra who knocked and opened the door. As she no longer slept soundly, she got up.
"I know one who had a very good night." Lyra said cheerfully. Skylar just answered her with a smile.
"I see that you have regained your strength. Come, I'll introduce you to our little family."
Skylar washed and changed, then Lyra led her out of the room. She showed him around, explained the operation to him and made presentations with the members of the organization before having a meal. Eventually, they returned to the room Skylar occupied and which was now going to serve as her bedroom.
She sat down on the bed. "Skylar, now that you're free, what do you plan to do? Are you going to join your pack and resume your life?" Lyra asked. "I imagine you miss yours after all this time. Besides, they must be worried about you too."
"I still have to take the time to think about it all. It is true that I miss mine. But once back, people will want to know where I was and what had happened to me. They will take all this. It's a bit complicated right now so I ask you for a favor. "
"Anything you want, Skylar." Lyra replied warmly.
"Would you be willing to accommodate me for a while here, time for me to clear things up and find out where my life is at?" Skylar asked.
"Of course yes Skylar. You can spend here all the time you want. We would even be delighted to count you as the first werewolf of our ranks." said Lyra enthusiastically before resuming.
"Skylar, I would like you to realize that your relationship with Asher marks the start of a new era because he is not just anyone. He is the crown prince of the Darkfire pack." she explained.
Skylar looked at her silently, giving her all her attention, then Lyra took her hands between hers.
"I admit that we take a lot of risks. We put our lives at stake for this future that we dream of. There is still little Vixel ignored everything about this organization. He believed me on a mission in a pack of werewolves, so We late made the decision to tell him about it to get his help because even if he is my mate, he could have betrayed us. " Skylar spread the surprise eyes.
"Believe me. In Lycans, hatred and contempt for werewolves are still very l. I contacted Vixel on the morning of the day of your escape. I explained everything to him. It was not easy to convince him, but he finally joined us We quickly cut a plan in an emergency and voila, we freed you in time. "
Termina Lyra.
"I can't thank you enough for saving my life." said Skylar in turn. "
*** Blackmoon.
In the evening, within the Blackmoon pack, the day had arrived.
Lycans, as every night had gathered in this place that he always believed secret, the basement of a disinfected building.
From the outside, a tiny stolen grid made it possible to see and partially hearing but without their knowledge, all that they said.
The plan that William had exhibited at Alpha Kane was in place. It only remained to apply it.
The Warriors, elite warriors of the blackmoon pack, had already transformed without it being full moon. For this, they had used an artificial full moon device.
Thanks to this device, the werewolves unlike their nature, could be transformed in any moment of the day and also had more control over their transformation.
Led by Condor, they had surrounded the building. And thanks to the surprise effect, they had been able to neutralize the sentries posted at the entrance before they could give the alert.
Lycans were gathered inside and had no idea what was going out outside.
Then, in order of Condor, a soporific gas was gone through ventilation.
While the lycans realized, the gas had already started to have an effect on them, many had fallen asleep. Some tried to escape, but they struck the Farouche resistance of the Warriors.
Added to that, haing the effect of gas on them, they could not last long and ended up being captured.
The operation was a success. It only remained to inform the Alpha Kane.
He was standing in his office, anxious but confident. Condor had insisted that he did not participate in the operation.
Then he heard knocking on the door which opened, letting three of his beta enter.
They stood in front of the alpha, a serious air living in their faces. Condor bent, then spoke.
"Alpha Kane, we come to give you the report of the situation. As expected, the Lycans gathered to their usual place and we have been able to capture them. The operation is a total success."
The Alpha Kane sketched a slight smile of satisfaction and nodded, then Condor resumed.
"However, even for me who is used to having uncompromising positions, I recognize that this success, we could not have had it without the precious information and inventions of John, that I beg you to let enter."
Then Condor turned his head towards the door. "John, you can introduce yourself."
John appeared in the doorway, lifting the hood of a mantle that completely covered his body.
