Page 58 of A Mysterious Slave for the Lycan Prince

Trixie doesn’t even acknowledge anyone’s presence, though. Instead, she flutters directly to me. “Finn!” she exclaims with unusual authority. “We need to leave. Now!”

I’m surprised, to say the least. “Why?”

“Because the alpha is after you!”

Alpha Colton

*FINN*

Istareatourlittle fairy in horror, needing a moment to grasp what she just said. In these times, however, I’m glad I’m of alpha blood. In moments of threat we tend not to worry too much about the whys and instead act fast. It’s the reason every alpha needs a luna at their side; to rein in their impulsive side. Today, however, my impulsive side is definitely an advantage.

Colton gave me creepy vibes the entire day. I’m not surprised he wants to try something.

“Anything else you can tell me, Trixie?” I hurry to ask, needing more information before figuring out how to get us out of here quickly.

“I can show you!” Trixie exclaims. “Through the mind link, Flora said I could access it.”

I nod. “We are out of time, so give us the short version!”

Trixie nods, and before I can even grasp what’s going on, I can already see flashes from the scenes she witnessed today.

“You couldn’t even keep your hands to yourself for five minutes. Now they know. You just had to hit and harass that useless slave!” Colton yells.

“But why is that a problem, Alpha?” his gamma asks, looking completely oblivious as to why his alpha is angry now.

Colton growls and grabs him by his neck. “What if they say something to the outside? We were supposed to lie low as long as they were here. They’ve seen too much!”

“Why did you agree to them joining us?” he dares to ask.

Colton growls. “Their alpha was persistent. It would have raised too many questions to decline his offer so blatantly. A lot of packs are interchanging warriors for training. It’s a new program.”

He is right. We do that. Anthony and Henry’s dad must have been really convincing.

“I’m sure they won’t talk.” The gamma claims.

Colton lets go of his gamma’s throat and instead touches his head softly. What the fuck is he doing now? “I know this is hard,” he says. “You are one of my best men and one of the very few I can always rely on.”

The gamma’s stance relaxes. “I’m sorry to have disappointed you, Alpha.”

“It’s our right to claim and rule what’s beneath us. You were just following your instincts,” Colton reassures him.

Is this how he grooms and manipulates them?

Trixie doesn’t linger on the scene any longer and instead allows the next scene to flash in front of our eyes.

“He asked for Freya,” Colton growls. “Out of everyone, he asked for that psycho.”

“But, Alpha,” his beta bows his head in submission. “You put her under your command. I’m sure she will oblige.”

“I did, but I don’t know about that one…something is seriously wrong with her.”

I’m furious once I hear him mention my mate’s name. Not only did he insult her, but he also put her under an alpha’s command! Fuck him!

“We should keep the girls.” One of them sneers. “They are cute, and I always wanted to do twin girls.”

At this, I can see the others getting visibly uncomfortable. The next thing we see is Benjamin lying on the ground.
