Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 741

CHAPTER 86 : OLD FRIENDS

It was time to go, whether everyone else was ready or not. I was rested and the packs were gathering. We needed to get to a vantage point where we could observe and figure out the other packs’ motives.

“Everyone, follow me!” I bellowed to my men.

I motioned them in the direction of the Moon Goddess temple in Norwind territory and I took off without waiting to see them coming after me. My only priority was getting to Mila and saving her. Whether my pack backed me up or not was their concern.

Thomas gathered the troops to follow. At least, my Beta knew how to keep the pack organized while my focus was on something else.

Payne stayed at my side.

“Tell me everything,” I said. “All the details.

“Some of the other packs have already made it to Norwind’s Moon Goddess temple. They’ve all heard the rumors of the artifacts,” he reported.

Payne had his fist clenched as he ran beside me. I heard the sound of his teeth gritting as he held back his rage. This was personal for him.

Mila and the artifact were symbols of the pack he lost. Chandler and Norwind were behind the destruction of his pack and the murder of his parents. I knew Payne would declare war on Chandler and Norwind all on his own if I wasn’t with him.

I didn’t blame him. There were horrible memories in Payne’s past. Things he’d blocked out, tried to forget, and questions he didn’t want answered but couldn’t live without knowing. I could relate to that.

“You think they want the artifacts?” I asked.

“I doubt they are gathering to rescue Mila.”

Ahh, that was the source of his anger. He was pissed the other packs were only there for greedy, selfish purposes. They didn’t care about Mila or her safety, they just wanted power or, at least, to keep Chandler from having the power.

It occurred to me that a lot of the packs gathering could have been working with Norwind when Pomeni pack was destroyed fourteen years ago. Payne probably suspected that too.

None of the packs gathering were innocent, and neither was Norwind. By the end of the day, we could be involved in a complete bloodbath. None of these packs trusted each other and I was skeptical in regard to them cooperating and working together.

I’d tried to give them Chandler and Norwind as a common enemy to rally around. We’d see if my hard work had paid off.

As we jogged closer to the temple, I was glad that I’d rested. Rather, I was glad Thomas forced me to rest. I was a lot more energetic and motivated. But my mind was clearer too. I’d had time to cool down and I could handle this situation logically.

“Once we get there, Payne, our goal is to save Mila. Remember that. We’re not getting revenge on what happened to your pack,” I said.

“I know.”

“Do not let your anger and hatred sidetrack you, okay?”

“Yes, boss.” Payne grunted and nodded.

“We should pick up our pace.”
