Chapter 324: DEEP ROOTED BETRAYAL

The buzzing on my phone when we arrived back at the Freki Mansion made Lucian raise his eyebrow and say " I bet that is Tizheruk ". I took out my phone from my jacket pocket and nodded at Lucianwhle connecting the call and I put it on speaker phone.

" What the fuck is wrong with you Conri? Are you on a power trip?" He yelled.

" What happened ?" I pretended and Lucian suppressed a laugh.

" Why the fuck did you lose control? At first, I thought it was me and I had to go to the sea to cool down. But when it happened a few hours ago, Meglado deduced that it was you. " Tizheruk growled.

" It was him," Lucian affirmed.

" What is going on?" Tizheruk pressed on.

" Maurice Isla was captured by Hunter and Everest. We locked him up in the KODA council jail and we were careless and he killed Alister in front of our eyes. The serpent powers that he has have gone crazy. I have no idea what it is but the powers of the King of wolves are unstable. Hunter and Everest deduce that the deaths of the many wolves affected the king of wolves. "

" I doubt it. " Tizheruk stated." I can sense interference in your power. Are you sure Maurice did not release evil serpent powers in the room? You need to meditate and cleanse yourself. Lucian should help. "

" That is fine. We also captured John Isla, Maurice’s twin brother. They have killed so many shifters, I will send you the images later. There is one behind them and even older wolves who are registered as dead. "

" Give me all the details later once you stabilize your power. I will use my connection to do the same."

’Okay" I disconnected the call and Lucian turned to me and said " We better get to the basement. "

We closed the door of the Freki mansion and headed to the basement. I sat down and Lucian followed suit as we crossed our legs and then I started meditation. Dolf connection with Freki was intact as we merged our powers. We felt Tizheruk push through the mind link and then the power of the King of Wolves rose.

" I can feel your witch powers, " Dolf said.

" The barrier I created is not intact. Something is wrong. " Freki stated.

" I can feel it too" Tizheruk’s voice. " Freki reinforces the barrier "

Freki growled and pushed the magic power and Dolf grunted in pain. I felt Tizheruk push his power to the barrier and then we finally saw it. Dark serpent evil magic. It seems when Conri was in jail, Maurice found an opportunity to plant a small spec into Conri’s mind.

" Shit " Freki cursed and I sealed Conri’s mind then Tizheruk neutralized the evil magic and then we all felt the calm nature of Conri’s mind and the Dolf roared in happiness.

" That was close " Tizheruk stated and then he retracted his power in Conri’s mind and we both opened our eyes at the same time.

" Are you okay ?" Lucian whispered to me as I was shocked by the discovery.

" Yes, " I nodded." I can feel my body is calm and even Dolf seems stable and not agitated. "

" So that was the plan. They wanted to drive you mad so that they could control the power of the King of wolves. " Lucian noted.

" I can feel your power now. I was wondering why I could not feel it and just thought it was the fact that I was in a rage" I confessed.

"We were careless and even more sore. We need to tell each other everything. I felt the way Freki was worried and I pushed it away thinking that it was just pressure from all the discoveries we had made. But those fucking bastards have always been prepared. "Lucian’s eyes blazed.

" That is true ’’ I nodded and attempted to pull Lucian up but he shook his head and said " Conri, I have been thinking about something Pa told me once. He regretted not having the blood pact called Ranbart. This pact is meant to protect my mate from harm. I want to do this now just in case they try again. Because my blood is a bane to the dark serpent shifters, none of their magic will be gotten through.

" Lucian, do you think I don’t know about the Ranbart?" My eyes blazed at him. " If I die, you will die along with me. "

" What is wrong with that? I can never survive if you die" Lucian responded and his tone was laced with a defensive stance.

" Lucian, I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize you. You are my uttermost priority and I must protect you. It’s how the Alpha wolf is built" I tried to talk him out of the suggestion of having a blood pact.

" Conri Dolf, you were compromised. No one will know that we performed the Ranbart blood pact. I want to protect you as much as you protect me. Do you know how scared and worried I have been for the last two days? You need to accept this because I am doing it for both of us. There are mad men on the loose who are all about shifter powers and we are not ready to face them if we don’t have solid minds and assured shifter powers" Lucian insisted.

" Our mate is right," Dolf said.

"Of course " Freki added.

" What do you need ?" I asked with resignation.

" The success of the Ranbart blood pact can only be achieved with our minds merged, blood between us, and of course your knot in my body" Lucian whispered.

" What? I did not get the last part ?" I pulled Lucian into my arms and held his chin so that our eyes bore at each other.

" You can imagine Pa narrating it to me, I was mortified and embarrassed. ’’ Lucian chuckled.

" Who else knows about this ?" I asked.

" Aunty Sasha and Anisha," Lucian stated.

" The fewer people who know this the better. I agree with this but not today." I nodded at Lucian.

" Tomorrow. The sooner the better. " Lucian insisted.

"One would think that the only thing you are looking forward to is my knot" I handed Lucian our phones, stood up, and picked Lucian up bridal style. He buried his nose in the crook of my neck and whispered " I crave for it. How can I deny such sweetness?"

" You are shameless Lil pup" I rubbed his back as we left the bunker and I walked upstairs to our room.

" We need to call Elder Zaya, " Lucian whispered.

" I am dreading this call" I confessed as I placed Lucian on the bed and he placed the phones on the bed.

" I know that. " He nodded but went ahead to call Godmother. The phone rang four times before she picked it up Lucian put the phone on speaker and her chuckle came over the phone " I wonder what made you remember to call me brat"

" Godmother, " I said. "Have you been well?"

" What is it ?" She sensed the seriousness of my tone.

" I need to ask you about Uncle Izak. Please don’t brush me off. It’s important" I whispered.

" Is Lucian there with you ?" She whispered back.

" Yes, " Lucian said.

We heard her hitched breath and then she was silent for a while before she started narrating " Your parents loved Izak so much that they trusted him with everything about the business and even the pack matters. But Izak and some members became greedy and started harvesting shifter energy and killing pack members. It was Aria who discovered it and chased them out of the pack. I have always suspected that Lucian’s mothers’s death was related to Izak and your Uncle Austin Carter. By the time Cadman found her, she was on the verge of death and your father could not absorb her powers. That is how Cadman inherited your powers and kept them for you. You were all in grief and there was no way to tell you all this. Soon Conri’s parents died in a car accident. But the scene of the car accident was like a massacre. Your parents had no shifter energy or powers in their bodies when we found them. Ralph seemed shaken when he saw them and we never pursued the matter at all"

" Did you say harvesting shifter energy? " Lucian asked.

" Yes. It’s a form of dark sea magic where one takes shifter power from one body to another. Lucian, your father’s death was the same." Godmother whispered.

" Why have you been keeping all these bottled up?" I demanded.

" Because I have always suspected that Izak killed your parents. When he came to the funeral, his scent had changed and I could swear that your father’s shifter wolf was in him" Godmother’s voice was filled with sadness

" What the hell?" Lucian cursed.

" Your father Authur Dolf was a magnificent wolf. There was no way one person subdued him and killed him. Either Austin Carter or someone else was on the scene. Same goes for Odwolf Freki. Anisha was broken when she found him and he seemed to have put up a fight before his death. Your father’s shifter wolf was intact and Adora confirmed it. " Godmother answered.

" What about Ma?" Lucian asked and there were tears in his eyes.

" Her wolf powers were gone. The person who harvested her shifter powers did not know that she was a witch and that is how you have her powers now" Godmother supplied. " It was such deep-rooted betrayal of the family that the KODA council chose to hush it up or else the pack would have been in disarray. We are all to blame Lucian. No one else "
