CHAPTER 75: BLOOD TRAITORS

"Would you give me some time?" Matt snapped. "You said that you would give Levi and me a week, and yet you are hovering over our heads just the next second."

"You know I am not a patient man, Mattie," Killian smiled and said to the man. "And yet you took your sweet time. You should have known that I would come down hard on you."

"At least give us some hours?" Matt looked annoyed with himself and Killian. He said to him, "I am doing my best, but it needs a few more hours."

Only then did Killian relax a little.

He then turned to look at Levi and questioned, "Did you find anything about the witches?"

Levi pulled the hot towel off his puffy eyes and remarked, "Here is a suggestion, Kill. The next time you come down hard on us, you might as well tell us right away. What’s the point of giving us a week when you were not even going to wait for an hour? Do you think I am a fucking fairy godmother?"

"I can’t track things with just a flick of my wrist and a little bibbity, bobbity."

"I need the answer, Levi. Don’t tell me that you didn’t find anything." Killian rolled his eyes and said to Levi, who scowled and threw the towel covering his face onto the couch. He said, "Who said that I found nothing?"

And if Inez was not wrong, there was a hint of smugness in his tone. He took out an envelope and threw it at Killian, who caught it with ease. "These are the shifters who met with the witches in the past few years. It was really hard to delve this deep. You are fortunate that I am your tracker, or else you would have never found anything."

Killian opened the envelope and took a look at the photos that were nestled inside. He heard Levi say, "The one at the top is Luis Brown. You might already know him as Alpha Brown. And next to him, the woman sitting on the right? She is a witch. Even though many will not associate her with witchcraft, as she doesn’t look like one. The truth is that after Brown met with this woman, his injuries, the ones that would have certainly killed him, got better."

"What’s more, the alpha who defeated him in the pack battle died mysteriously not long after the two of them met."

He continued, "And the one underneath is Brandon. Alpha Brandon, as we all know him. You might have even heard that his mate was about to die, but she miraculously recovered. However, as soon as she recovered, her three sisters died one after another."

"And the other three: Tatum, Sirius and Remy? They had more or less the same incidents after they met with this woman. And even though they seem to have met with three different women, if you take a look at her little pinky on the right hand."

"It’s chopped off," stated Finn as he took a look at the photos along with Killian.

Levi looked at his beta and nodded. "That’s right. It’s impossible for all five women to have a missing pinky, isn’t it? This means that these five women are the same, and if I am not wrong, then these five shifters knew this as well. If anything, they might have connected to this witch through one another."

"We need to question each one of them," Killiam remarked as he flipped through the photos and then turned to look at the rest of the pack. "We cannot leave them alone lest they think that they played their cards too well. Not after my pack lost more than three pups."

"You have to punish the ones behind this rotten plan," one of the female Lycans spoke up. Inez turned to look at her and saw her red eyes; it seemed like this woman also lost her child at the hands of the witches.

"Don’t worry," Killian smiled at the female lycans. "Since they dared to make a move on our pack, they will certainly have to pay for it."

He turned to look at his enforcers before saying to them, "It’s time we split up. I don’t think either of you will be able to make Remy talk, so I will take him." He paused and turned to look at Finn before saying to him, "You should go and deal with Sirius. I think that man will talk with you."

"It does make sense," Finn smirked with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "After the last time, I don’t think that he will dare to say no to me."

"Then I will go and talk to Tatum and Brown." Ajax crossed his feet at his shin and stated, "It will make so much sense for me to go because the two of them are related to my mother in one way or another. And if you go there, I am worried your mother will try to make things difficult for you."

Inez noticed how tense Killian became when he heard the mention of his mother, and she wondered what was the cause of his reaction.

Edira also snorted at the mere mention of Killian’s mother, and what was surprising was that there was so much contempt in that one snort that it made Inez wonder if Edira truly didn’t hate her.

"Wait a minute!" Just as the men were finished discussing the matter of the interrogation, Ally raised her hand and turned to look at Killian. "If you send Finn away, who will go with you? You are the alpha; you cannot go alone! What if you are attacked there?"

As soon as Ally finished speaking, Nyx also turned to look at Killian. Her eyes were extraordinarily bright, and she stated, "She is right, Kill. You cannot go to the territory of another alpha without your beta."

"Who said that I am going alone?" Killian asked with a raise of his brows.

"But if Finn is not going with you—" Nyx began with a frown but she was interrupted by Killian, who said to her, "Inez will be going with me."
