Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 42

42. Poisonous!

As Xavier and Kiara arrived from the north of the territory, Beta Kaiden and the other wolves arrived from the east. The sound of dried leaves and broken branches being crushed under their boots were the only discernible sound in the forest. The forest had come to an end, everyone had gathered in the pack house’s large garden.

“Alpha, we brought back both of the corpses,” Kaiden confirmed while his gaze flickered between Xavier and Kiara, who were still holding hands. Had Luna Kiara remained beside the Alpha the entire time they were in the treacherous woods? Why? For the Beta and Gamma, today had already been full of surprises. First, there had been the unexpected arrival of Luna Maya, now the Alpha and Luna had found two dead bodies. Why had the Luna been in the woods? Was something wrong here? The Alpha’s possessiveness had been noted by everyone in the garden who was waiting behind Beta Kaiden. It appeared that the young Luna had been crying, but the Alpha’s grip on her hand was adorable and she was returning his show of affection like a little girl who had been lost at a fair.

“Okay, where is Zander?” Xavier inquired, as Kaiden motioned to their men to place the dead bodies on the ground.

“I am here,” the younger Alpha’s voice boomed across the yard as he stepped forward with his gorgeous Luna, who hurried to embrace her younger sister. Adira had heard all of Jennifer’s and Leena’s stories about Luna Maya, as well as the argument that the young she-wolf had been in with her Alpha. Maya’s appearance had been a disaster for the Alpha couples!

“Are you okay?” Adira inquired, concerned. Her sister had wept, she had just needed to look at her to

realize it.

“Yeah, I am okay now,” Kiara gave a small smile, which gave her older sister a sense of relief.

“Great, let’s talk later this evening,” the blue-eyed Luna suggested. Both of the sisters’ gazes returned to their mates, who had been watching and listening to their exchange the entire time. Their beautiful women looked at them with puzzled expressions.

“So where are the Doctors?” Looking away from his woman’s chocolaty gaze, Xavier cleared his throat. Kiara glanced away, since there was still a bit of awkwardness between them following the event in the woods. She was sorry for slapping him and he was sorry for all the horrible things he had said. On top of that, the Alpha had never apologized to anybody before. They had just held each other’s hands the entire time, but Kiara had avoided talking to him.

“They are on their way,” Zander averted his gaze from his blue-eyed Luna before both women thought the Alphas were being creeps!

“This time it’s two dead bodies, Xavier. It’s another vampire attack. We need to take action. We can’t allow the Vampire King to slaughter our people. That fucker needs to learn that he can not play with us

and that the treaty is not a joke. Grandpa has called to let me know that he and the other elders had received the news. This story will spread to the other packs,” the younger Alpha grumbled. If the news got out, they’d be left in shambles who couldn’t defend their people.

“Yeah, we’re not going to remain quiet now. It’s time for action,” Xavier revealed, taking a deep breath. He had already declared that he would take action on what had happened that day while the whole pack

was being searched.

“Who are they?” The Alpha had begun the investigation by verifying the identity of the deceased man

and woman.

“They are our pack’s greatest pair of warriors,” Tyler said as he joined the ranked couples with his redheaded mate who had been examining the identity of the deceased bodies with her mate.

“They had both been born in our pack, mated, married, and were two of our most loyal warriors,” Lena emphasized the loss of the honest individuals.

“I’m still perplexed as to why they would travel to that portion of the forest for no reason,” Zander wondered, while he observed his Luna moving closer to the dead bodies. As Kiara stepped alongside her, she rolled up her sleeves and glanced at the bite mark. Both the twins exchanged puzzled glances. Females typically did not approach dead bodies, but these two she-wolves were rather curious.

“The reason for their being in the forest at that time is still unclear, but when I questioned their acquaintances, it came to light that both had disappeared from their homes together. No one saw them leaving to go anywhere,” Tyler continued, looking around as if that was the last bit of information he had been able to glean from the those he had talked to. These two people’s deaths, like the preceding ones, seemed to end in a mystery.

“There’s got to be something wrong! They can’t have just vanished unless they’ve been lured into the forest by some kind of lie or deception. We all know that if those vampires had gone to their residences, we would have all felt the vampires’ presence right away,” Kaiden presented the dilemma in a way that

seemed true.

“Do you mean to say that they weren’t murdered by a vampire?” Tyler’s inquiry

“I’m not sure, but if it wasn’t done by them, explain to me why we’ve never seen or captured them? Would it make sense to call them ghosts that openly use magic and spells on our land and kill our people merely to disguise their nasty scent and identities? Vampires aren’t that much of a p***y,” Kaiden claimed, which both Alphas heard clearly.

“The point isn’t whether or not the culprits were a vampire. The point is that the dead bodies have no blood,” Adira interrupted their conversation, drawing everyone’s attention.

“No blood?” Xavier and Zander observe the blue-eyed Luna who was asking for a knife from her younger sister, who promptly hands it over as if she knew what was going to happen. The twins exchanged confused gazes with each other, as well as their Beta and Gamma, were unsure what was going on. Adira sliced a little part of the woman then did the same to the lifeless body of the man. Both Alphas knelt close to their mates to observe what the Lunas were up to.

“As you can see, the blood in both of these bodies has been drained, as if they were never alive. At the same time, it is worth noting that they have not been harmed by the sunlight, which is quite rare. If they were attacked by a vampire, their bodies would have begun to rot in the sunlight, but instead they are laid out in front of us like dried leaves,” Adira explained, pointing out all of the facts that she wanted to

discuss.

“So the Luna wants to say that it wasn’t a vampire attack, but that it was done by someone else?”

Jennifer inquired.

“Whether you believe it was vampires or not, I can assure you that this is not a natural way to die. The blood has been completely drained, something only vampires can achieve. However, we can plainly see that their bodies have not been affected by sunlight which results in a mystery. So it might be a vampire assault or it might not. But one thing is certain, this case is an anomaly that stands out from the crowd. Someone enter the pack, covered their scent, used magic as well, then killed only honest and loyal pack members. Don’t you find that strange?” Adira explained in one long breath, returning her gaze to her sister, who was also deep in thought.
