Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375: He Killed the Lead (II)

"And with all due respect, what do you mean by ’the lead cannot be shown to anyone’?" Killian asked, sensing something amiss. He turned and looked at Noah, who still refused to meet his gaze but given that the man had stayed quiet till now and had not jumped up to accuse him of something treacherous, he knew that there was something these two were hiding. He fluidly rose to his feet and glanced at the two men. "What happened to the lead?"

Finally Noah broke the silence. "When Elder Norman heard that Alpha Sokolov had caught a hollow that had been bewitched by the witches, he thought that his personal safety was at great risk despite the beta of the Silver Dawn Pack being really weak. He brought in his own enforcers and demanded that we should put him down at once before the monstrosity could attack anyone—"

"We told him that you will not agree, Seth," snapped Jones, he sounded quite harassed; even though he wanted to become the member of the inner council, he had a bottom line and what Elder Norman did crossed that boundary. "We told him that you will never agree but he didn’t listen. He brought his enforcers with him and when we refused to listen to him, he turned a deaf ear to what we told him and then killed the man or whatever it was. Now that the thing is gone, who are we going to show in front of the people of these families? They will simply think that we are showing them a dug-out corpse and inducing fear into them just like the elders claimed earlier!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, a maniacal grin cracked on his lips. Killian looked at the two men and questioned, "I hope you two are not telling me that someone killed the only lead that I caught without the orders of the head of the council?"

"It was not a heavy blow, Killian. Calm down."

An imperative voice drifted inside the office and Elder Norman strutted inside with his beta. He cast a dismissive glance at Killian and turned to look at Seth. "What is with this continuous fuss, Seth? I thought that you had much better control over the council and its members. But it seems like I was quite wrong. You certainly lack it." He spoke in a slow drawl, which made Killian clench his fists while Seth smiled calmly.

"Are they the ones who are causing a fuss?" Seth asked with his fingers interlocked, as he set his elbows on the table.

Elder Norman scoffed. "And who do you think is causing a fuss here? Me?"

"I certainly think so; if not why would you bring a bunch of enforcers in the prison cells and kill the only lead of the case that could have proven that witches have once again risen to power, Elder Norman?" Seth asked while looking at the man as if he was seeing him for the first time.

Elder Norman’s eyes widened. "Utter nonsense. I assure you that there is no such thing; that man was nothing but a poor innocent being trapped in the dungeons of the lycans’s territory." He glanced at Killian with a look of contempt. "That poor man couldn’t even speak two comprehensive sentences or words, how do we know that he was bewitched by a witch and not a tormented soul? I believe that this is something that the lycan alpha came up with to mask his hideous intentions."

"And I believe that you can be a fantastic villain in a third-grade movie but here we are," Killian hummed.
