The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 128

Alpha Bane's POV

"The maids have been instructed on what to do. They're carrying out the plan as I speak to you," the Alpha King revealed to me as I smiled in delight. "Since last night, they've gone around the entire Castle, relentlessly talking about it and trying to figure out who the mole is amongst the guards."

"Has there been anyone yet?" I asked, intently gazing at the Alpha King as he sat on his majestic throne.

"If there have been, we'd have been sitting here with the fool right in front of us, thinking about the best way to teach him a lesson that he'd never forget."

"That's if he lives long enough to remember the lesson," I threatened. I was so full of anger for whoever it was as I hated treason with passion. No guard had any right to betray his Pack. It was why I hated the Rogues so much and couldn't wait to lay my hands on them. Luckily for me, I was going, to begin with, that culprit so I could have a feel of what was to come.

"If I see him here," I warned. "I might be forced to kill him myself with my bare hands!"

"Let's take things easy, Alpha Bane. Remember that if he is the mole, then he has leaked information concerning our Pack to someone on the outside. We need to question him first to find out who he's working for and what he has told them already…"

"Then I can kill him?"

"No. Not that. For him to say all of those things, he might need to be promised that he wouldn't be killed. Perhaps, we could send him to exile or something like that. We need that information more than we need him to lose his life…"

"We need them both and we can have them," I disagreed. "Nothing stops us from beating the truth out of him. I will make him so terrified that he'd have no choice but to say what he needs to say and then I'll be rid of him. Such a guard doesn't deserve to live. If we send him out of this Pack. Who knows if he'd reunite with our enemies and make us regret that mistake?"

The Alpha King paused a bit and just stared at me. He looked at me like I was some kind of a stranger. He had never seen me that upset and I could understand that. I hadn't been that upset anywhere close to him.

"Still, we don't have to kill him, Alpha Bane. We can keep him locked up until the war is over. Once that happens, we'll…"

He was cut short by the entrance of two huge guards who had bald hair. They walked right into the throne room with each man holding one arm of another man, struggling with all of his might to break free from their grasp.

"Ivan?" The Alpha King yelled, so surprised to see the man.

I recognized him too. He was a man who was very much trusted in the Pack, especially by the Alpha King, as he always let him have access to the dungeon very freely.

"How could you do this?" The Alpha King asked, looking very betrayed.

I was stunned but I didn't want to draw any conclusions as there were a lot of reasons why a guard could have been brought to the throne room. He could have been caught in theft or perhaps, disrespected another guard who was of a higher rank.

"What happened?" I asked the other guards.

"He fell for the trap, Sir," said the guard by my right-hand side. "The maids caught him panicking and making some strange movements as soon as he heard about the bounty. That is how we knew that he was guilty and so we decided to bring him here."

I stood from my chair and walked slowly to where they were. Then placing the index finger of my right hand on his jaw, I lifted his head so he could look into my eyes. "Is this true?" I asked him in a very low tone. I needed him to be as comfortable as ever while answering the question.
