Chapter 200: The last laugh
At the border of Damien’s pack...
"Alpha, a messenger from home!" Lucas’s beta burst into the tent, panic evident in his voice as he awaited orders.
Lucas stared blankly, wondering what could have happened and how his mother had discovered his location. He had lied to her about where he was, how had she outsmarted him again?
That woman would never let him have his moment. She was always finding a way to outshine her son. Sometimes, he wished he could eliminate her, but her connections and power could prove useful in the future. He planned to wrest those from her before disposing of her. Reuniting with his biological father would be the ultimate way to repay her for everything.
"Bring me the message," he ordered, but his beta hesitated, standing still. Lucas raised an eyebrow, questioning him silently.
"He refuses to deliver the message unless he sees you in person," the beta revealed, which enraged Lucas. Was his mother trying to undermine his authority in front of his men?
Clenching his jaw, he grudgingly ordered, "Let the messenger in," and tossed aside the book he had been holding.
She always found a way to belittle him. If only he hadn’t let her control him five years ago, he wouldn’t have lost Aurora, and they would be ruling his pack together by now.
Speaking of Aurora, before his beta could leave, he added, "Send one of our men to check on the situation in town. Those fools might be gathering evidence already." He then dismissed the beta.
