CHAPTER 67 : THE MISSING PIECE

“Is that how you two ended up being slaves?” I asked, creasing my brow.

“No. Actually, it might not look like it, but we’re the lucky ones,” Frederic said scoffing.

I handed him some tissues and he dabbed at the worst cuts on Murray’s face. Murray was still a little groggy. He must have taken a hit to the head.

Soren helped him sit down and he motioned to Payne.

“Can you find us some medical supplies? Just the basics so we can patch them up?” he asked.

“Yes, Boss,” Payne agreed with a nod. He grabbed Ashley and the two headed off.

“Can you tell us what happened?” I asked Frederic.

He growled and made a fist, punching the air. “The whole thing could have been avoided!”

“Calm down,” Soren snapped, moving in front of me to protect me in case Frederic lost control.

I didn’t think he would but I knew how protective Soren could get.

“Long story short, Murray and I were on a border patrol and we spotted a group of suspicious shifters crossing our border through one of the more remote forests in our pack territory,” Frederic explained, his voice riddled with growls as he told us the story.

“We had to investigate. It was our duty,” Murray muttered, scoffing.

“We tracked them down and were about to give our warning when we saw someone we recognized. Murray and I hid to confirm we were looking at… our beta,” Frederic said.

“Don’t call him that!” Murray snarled.

Frederic shook his head. “We weren’t sure what we should do. At first, we thought our beta was there to send them away but… after we watched them for a while, we could tell he was working with them and they were looking for something.”

Looking for something? I swallowed and glanced at Soren. There was only one thing of value I could think of in Lethe.

“We followed them to a spot where they started digging. We heard our beta demanding payment first, then he’d let them dig,” Frederic added.

“Stop calling him that, Frederic! He’s a traitorous bastard,” Murray insisted.

Frederic rolled his eyes. “The others in the party argued about paying him. They told him he was too greedy and taunted him, asking ‘What would your Alpha say if he heard about this?'”

“So, your Alpha didn’t know about it?” I asked, feeling a moment of relief.

From the sounds of it, the Lethe beta was acting alone, just for a payday. Their Alpha might not have even known what he had on his land.

“We realized pretty quickly that our beta was doing something shady. He was not acting with our Alpha’s blessing. Murray and I tried to retreat so we could report to our Alpha, but we were caught…” Frederic said. He shook his head and scoffed at his own blunder.
