Chapter Hundred and Thirty-Three – Hilarious.
Chris’s POV
Logan’s silence was deafening. What was he waiting for before striking?
Since he revealed his intentions, he should act accordingly but he had been quiet. It was scary.
“Why not accept that the grenades killed him?” my wolf asked.
I ignored him, still picking the food on my plate. There was no way that could kill him.
I badly regret not turning back to know what happened. He’d be hurt but not dead.
Surely Logan would need medicine for his wounds and with his rogues killed, he’d have to go himself.
I made sure that warriors stationed around to alert me when he did but no one saw him.
Instead they spoke of a little demon, like Edwin. Crazy lot. Was it fear making them hallucinate?
I dropped the spoon on the plate and sat back. “Someone should take this away!” I ordered.
The watery soup was making my thoughts swirl around, I needed some steadiness. I looked up to meet Sasha’s gaze.
She darted her eyes to the maid leaving with my food, then brought her eyes back to me. “I made the food, why don’t you want to eat?”
I shook my head. “I hold nothing against you or the food, just that my mind won’t let me feed my stomach.”
She made a small smile then sipped on her soup hungrily, they’re two empty plates besides her.
She ate a lot now, perhaps her time was getting close? I didn’t know much about pregnancy.
I left the table, taking small steps towards the door. “Oh and if you look for me, I may be at Ray’s apartment not the courtroom, okay?”
She raised her head from her food and nodded. “Sure.”
A breath of fresh air blew over me as I stood outside. I raised my head, heaving a sigh of relief, then looking for Ray mind link.
“Alpha, I’m with the warriors. The first batch at the cave just returned for their break. Do you need me now?” he asked when we linked.
“What?” I raised a brow. “Why are you there with them?”
“Well, my mate is busy on a situation with the border warriors so I went there.” He replied.
“I mean, why did they need someone with them?” I hurried to the gate. “If those warriors sensed Logan, they were to report to me!”
My Beta chuckled. What was funny!
Those warrior ignored my direct orders and asked him to be with them? What if he got hurt!
“Yeah, but the small demon. They did tell you about it, didn’t they?” Ray asked, with a chuckle.
Seriously? They dragged my Beta to that place of danger because of a mysterious small demon! Was he to babysit them?
“By their ranks, they should be ever battle ready not babysitted. Ray, return now!” I was pissed.
“We are already at the border. The second batch are there, and I’d like to stay there with them. They were really stunned by it.”
“Ray…” I trailed off. This was exhilarating.
“I’d meet you there then.” I could already sight the gate, and I watched he and the warriors walk in. They were below twenty so are still babies.
“What kind of demon did you see!” I barked, when I was in front of them. They looked down.
Cara left the border warriors and rushed to me. “Alpha, did they do something?”
“I know it’s your job to answer for them, but you weren’t the one complaining about a small demon, so move aside.” I gestured.
Ray pulled her away, smirking. “Let them answer, I find their story hilarious too.”
One of the warriors looked at their Lead Warrior, then me. “Alpha, it wasn’t made up.”
“Describe what you saw!”
“First we noticed an energy coming to us. One that could be Logan but it didn’t stay up to five seconds before it disappeared.”
They didn’t say that in the report!
No matter how little the energy stayed, if they noticed Logan they should have spoken. “Then?”
“Then, when one of us tried to go check it out, a small creature ran from under us, right under us. It was hairy and fast.” He wailed.
The other one was sniffing, breathing heavily. I could tell they weren’t lying, and it began to worry me.
“But demons don’t live in this realm.” Ray said.
They turned to him. “We told Delta Edwin when he came to check us and he said he saw it too. He thinks it’s the Lycan demon!”
I rolled my eyes. Now it was a Lycan demon? These guys were hilarious.
“Okay, okay, since you all experienced it, then it’s not hallucinating!” I agreed.
“But the Lycan can’t be small and run under you guys without you knowing, sensing his energy or dying.” Ray stressed the last part.
His mate nudged him and I smiled. “Your Beta is right, if any of you met Logan, you’d be dead.”
“Then we met his demon!” the warrior asserted.
I exhaled. Shouldn’t that be worst than Logan himself?
“You were kept far from his cave, just around to alert me if he shows up. If you see this ‘demon’ again, tell me, I’d come cast and bind.”
I patted the other warrior. “Go on now. Go rest.”
The two of them walked away, with slouched shoulders, I stared at them worriedly.
The one who cried without talking was actually a distant relative of Ray’s. Perhaps that was why Ray decided to stay with them.
He always cried when faced with challenges bigger than him, and he laughed loudly when excited. He rarely lied to.
If he was crying speechlessly, then he may have actually met a demon. Which was still funny.
“Did you need me for something though?” Ray asked, holding unto his mate. Did he need her for something?
I furrowed my eyebrows. “Cara, give him to me for a bit, you have him all night.”
She released him, her cheeks reddening. “Sure, Alpha.” She walked away.
“You didn’t have to put it like that.” Ray whined, hitting me.
I smirked, glad he’s annoyed.
I wiped the smirk off and asked. “But do you think Lycan has an alibi he’s using? A fast small wolf helping him?”
“Where would he see a small fast wolf to help him? That will be a pup but no pup can shift.” Ray said, then paused.
I paused with him. “What? Do you think it’s a dwarf wolf.” I didn’t know if those were real.
“No, but some pups could shift. My sister shifted at nine.”
I cocked my head. She did? That was quick.
“Well, she wasn’t an ordinary wolf. All the warriors said about this one was that it was fast. Any wolf can be fast.”
Ray shrugged. “Hmm… yeah. Maybe we should wait till it attacks again, then we catch it and force it to shift. It would surprise us.”
That was all to do. Wait and catch it.
Moon goddess help it and it actually worked for Logan, it wouldn’t see the light of the next day.
