Chapter 78 – What Are We Missing?

“Let me get this straight, pup,” the irate Alaskan Alpha of Tundra River pack snarled down the phone line to me. “You think I have something to do with your mate being taken?!”

How he had the audacity to address me as ‘pup’ was ludicrous. The man was barely two years older than me or Badru. Konstantin said his former mate’s pack wouldn’t be an issue, that they wouldn’t care about him or Evie. But what if he was wrong? So, with some effort, we had tracked a phone number for the pack via their neighbour to their north, White Cloud pack. The Alpha to White Cloud had surprised me by being both helpful and polite. It aided in our favour that he hadn’t much respect for the new Alpha of Tundra River.

“Alpha Dominic, I’m simply crossing off as many suspects as possible,” I did my best to keep my voice level and not escalate the phone call to a screaming match or trigger a war. “But your pack killed our mate’s mother. Why wouldn’t we suspect you?”

“That wolf was a deserter, she had it coming,” he sneered. “And why the f**k would I care about some she-wolf from 20 years ago that I’ve never met? Lycan or not, I don’t give a s**t. A willful she-wolf is of no interest to me.”

His end of the phone was slammed down with such force, the receiver shuddered on my end. I swallowed my roar of rage, clinging to my urge to hurl the phone set across the study.

“You did better than I would have,” my brother bounced his knee, going over a clip of CCTV footage for the umpteenth time in the unlikely chance we had missed something on the thousandth viewing. “If that had been me, it would have ended in an Alpha challenge.”

‘An alpha challenge sounds good to me,’ Aasim prowled in the back of my mind.

‘Sit your ego down, wolf,’ I warned him before he got any more bright ideas.

“Why don’t you save that Alpha challenge for Catalina?” I took a few deep breaths to cool my jets.

“Goddess, I wish I could throw her out without looking like a douche,” he grumbled, clenching and unclenching his fists on either side of his laptop.

Her brother, Thiago, had left a while back. As heir to his pack, he had responsibilities of his own on his shoulders. He didn’t need our s**t on top to deal with. Much to the joy of my brother, Catalina hadn’t left with him. She stayed by Lucy’s side most of the time, assuring that she felt safe, and why Badru couldn’t throw her out and not look like the biggest asshole on the planet. No matter how much he wanted to. Personally, I preferred her here. We were spread thin enough as it was and Catalina’s presence meant Lucy’s safety was one we didn’t need to worry about. Anything that lessened my worry, and my guilt, was a rare positive.
