The Perfect Luna

Chapter 71. Mind Games.

Gideon was following the scent of the fox king, wishing for nothing more than tearing his head off. This would solve most of his problems, as the sly bastard was the brain behind everything and eliminating him would be crucial for the victory.

He sped up, letting Mars take the control. Soon they saw the red blur ahead of them. Castiel’s scent was evident. And they didn’t hesitate to charge at the fox, knocking him off his feet. His beast was huge, but not a match for a lycan wolf. Gideon would have overpowered him easily if not for the two bears that joined his enemy. Those were extremely big and aggressive. So, it took him a bit longer to rip their necks off. And now two things worried him. First, he did not see the girl that Castiel took hostage anywhere close. And second, they were watching the area and these two bears came out of nowhere.

It was a bad sign. Very bad. The fox started running again but he managed to catch up with him and dig his canines

into his side to make him stop. The red beast whimpered and in no time the lycan king

managed to submit him. A few slashes of sharp claws here and there and the fox under him

whimpered from pain, shifting back into his human form.

And this was when Gideon snarled in anger.

Before him was a young man in his twenties with red curly hair who was trembling in

horror.

It wasn’t Castiel. It wasn’t the fox king. “What the hell?!” Gideon gritted his teeth, talking to his wolf. “How did this happen?!”

“We’ve been tricked,” Mars was furious. “He has the king’s scent on him! It’s identical! The foxes are the only ones who can do this type of thing!”

He was angry at himself for falling for this. Of course, he shouldn’t have relied on the scent when dealing with this sly kind…

“Reid,” he called his Beta via the mind link, “I lost the king. Anything from your side?”

“We got the whole group and I just sent them to the dungeons of your Queen’s pack,” his friend replied.

“Good. Keep your eyes open. Don’t trust the scents too much.” Gideon told him and then tried to connect to his mate, “Riannon.”

She did not reply and he got tense. It wasn’t that far. He was supposed to feel her. And now, trying to sense his bond, he couldn’t.

“Riannon!” he called again and again, only to get no reply. Two of his warriors

“Reid! Do you see Riannon?” he asked while taking a huge leap.

“No,” the reply echoed through his ears, and now he was really worried.

“Can you connect to your mate?” the lycan king still tried thinking rationally.

“No, I haven’t marked her yet…” Reid sounded apologetic. “But I am going there now. If I find out anything…”

“Good,” Gideon stopped him.
