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..."

"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."
