The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 129

Abeta of a pack immediately answered,

We did that King. I sent some of my warriors who tailed the kids who opted to leave. Technically, as they left the pack, we did not have any law to govern them. So even if they did, they all pledged that they were leaving of their own free will.

“So the kids definitely led you to the rogue King’s stronghold, right? Does he have a packhouse? We can attack it and just kill

him for once and all 1

replied, twirling the paperweight lying on the table in front of me with one hand.

But the beta shook his head, “That is the issue, King. He simply offered the kids a better chance at life and more perks. Those who were willing to join his pack had to prove that they had completely cut contact with us for a month or so. Only after he was convinced, he would take them in.

That was a relief. At least, the teenagers were not in imminent danger. Not yet, at least,

“I have a feeling he does not even want them in his pack. He is just trying to break all of you. These are mind games that he is playing.”

Everybody looked at each other worriedly, wondering what to do next.

I suggested, “Does every pack have kids that stayed back?”

There was a silent murmur of approval.

“Good. Tell these kids to be in touch with those who have gone away. Even offer them money, food, whatever is needed through the kids. Just don’t let any adult go near them for the time being.

“But

King, he would keep brainwashing our kids if we don’t even meet them. And what about the Elders and the kids‘ mothers? They can’t live in this constant worry for a month or two.”

I leaned forward, The moment he sees you near them, he would not want to keep in touch with the kids. This seems like an elaborate plan.

The kids you send will have to pretend that they want to come over but the pack members are not allowing them. When they believe your spies, only then would we know the true intent of this rogue King.”

“But King-” another alpha began but I raised a hand.

“Yes I know we want to kill the rogues and their King but we have innocent kids involved in this. We have to approach the situation delicately. I do not want any innocent kid to get hurt.

I took a pause and added, “Perhaps, some of you need to get better at parenting as well, Just because you found your mate please don’t start a family if you cannot look at your kids. Treat them with respect, try to talk to them, and–tiderstand their point of view. Not everything should be solved with punishment and violence.

My words made most of the alphas look down, their heads hanging in shame. The pressure they put on their kids to be the next alpha or beta was too much. I could see how the rogue King took advantage of this factor and was exploiting the opportunity, weakening the minds of the pack.

“Pick two of you. I want daily reports and updates on the progress of the situation. Meanwhile, also send out additional spies to keep an eye on the kids as well as any suspicious activity. If anybody gets any lead of the rogue King, you come directly to

rge. Is that clear?”

I said in a tone of finality.

Chapter 129

“Yes King”

This meeting had been going on and on for eternity and at some point somebody had mentioned Eden.

86%)

She was the only member I had taken in my pack so it was natural that they wanted to know about her. Not that it was a bad thing. I had kept her hidden for long and after the recent kidnapping of her through her Ex–boyfriend or something, Theo, 1 thought the more people knew who she was and how she looked, the less were the chances of her getting abducted.

That was the only reason I had agreed to let them meet her. I couldn’t help but wonder where she was.

Half of my attention had been on the door and I often found myself glancing at them, waiting for her to walk in through the door.

And then as if she had heard my thoughts, we heard a soft knock on the door and my hybrid, Beast, growled in pleasure at the thought of seeing her.

We had not seen her since morning and it was making me restless. I thought I could stay away from her so I decided to

focus on work.

But then I said “Come in” and the door slowly opened.

And I sucked in my breath when my eyes fell on

her.
