Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Chapter 258

Xena's POV

"Exactly right. I ordered that baby killed. My biggest regret is that I didn't do it myself when I saw the little bastard, but that's another story wear. Taney managed to notify her boyfriend, and together they got the child out. It took me years to find that child and be able to track her down

I'm confused. If you were after Penelope, why dig tunnels to Alpha Benedict's pack?"

"Well, that's the key question." Alpha Wiley stood up and began pacing. "You see, Penelope's father was working with that lovely spy. They've been working together for Alpha Benedict for decades. Sneaky little bastards. When my stupid son wanted to use Rogues, he asked Tom to hire some people to create an impact. Tom was still playing both sides, having Jericho - that's his name, by the way organize an attack to kidnap you. We were originally going to use you to trade for Penelope, but..." Alpha Wiley glared angrily at Tatum. "This is why we don't fucking use rogues!"

"Let me get this straight. The tunnels were built as a future plan to take down Alpha Benedict when the time was right, because you've been trying to catch Jericho for years. So you decided to kidnap me to trade for Penelope, kill her, and let Tatum take over the Alpha position? That would draw out lencho for you to kill, and since Penelope is now mated to Logan, you'd get three packs."

"Years of planning coming together beautifully, isn't it wonderful?*

"Plans change," Tatum stood up. "After seeing you, I want you as a mate. If I kill Ryder, I'll be appointed Alpha of that pack right now without having to launch a full attack, or we can still do it that way."

"So in short, kill Penelope, Ryder, and Logan to gain this entire region for yourself," I clarified.
