Chapter 57: THE FACTS ON THE GROUND

Chapter 57: THE FACTS ON THE GROUND

"Godmother has pack members working for her" I laughed and Everest caught on that Levi was one of us.

"She has been putting effort in for years so that when you got down the mountain, you would find members who are loyal to you. "Everest nodded.

"How did she do it?" I sat at the corner of the desk.

"All of us have been Alpha Lobo’s punching bag. She just needed to say Conri Dolf, and we all followed her," Everest boasted.

"Why? "

"You might have forgotten it, Conri, but before you helped many people in the pack without looking at their background. You cared little about your wealth and just supported and were the soft landing for the young wolves and the old ones. Everyone noticed it then, and they never forgot. You won loyalties way before your exile. "

"I was just doing what a normal person should do," I asserted.

"You think it’s normal, but do you know we learned of your exile after you were already in the mountains? Alpha Lobo ensured the wall was hushed until Lupe’s remains were scattered in the sea. The wolves requested a meeting and questioned Alpha Lobo. He squashed all the suggestions and labeled you a murderer and rogue wolf. "Everest sighed.

"It must have been hard for the pack for the last years"

"We made it through the first ten years until Elder Zaya started making plans. She has been active for five years and relentlessly works to make sure you get off the mountains. The KODA council members in support were the real push"

"What made godmother do this? Something must have triggered her decision"

"Duciana Due. She, on a drunken night, spilled the beans that they set you up. She never got into the details, but a couple of wolves heard her. Knowing how loyal she is to Alpha Lobo, they put two and two together and told Benjamin. "

" They clouded my mind with grief and remorse. I never thought of the consequences of agreeing to be exiled. Alpha Lobo approached me and said if I went under his wing, he would protect me. My wolf rebelled, and I refuted the idea, "I explained.

"Conri, have you heard the rumors about Alpha Lobo’s obsession with you" Everest whispered.

"I cringe at the thought. I heard this from Lupe," I confessed.

"She told you?" Everest’s jaw dropped.

"Yes. Our last conversation was when she confessed she set me up so that we could be married. She felt sorry that Alpha Lobo had threatened her. She never said why he threatened her, but she wanted to end the charade. But I told her to wait so that her parents were not upset or the pack looked down on her. "

"So you refused to end the engagement, and she ended up dead?" Everest’s eyes widened. "Conri, do you realize Lobo is sick in the head?"

"I have always known," I huffed.

"That means that Lucian is in danger," Everest affirmed. " If our deductions are correct, it means that he will target Lucian to get to you"

"I will not let that happen. "I vowed.

Everest nodded and advised, "You need to be careful. I know it’s just a marriage contract, but no one needs to die. "

"I agree." But what Everest did not know was that it was not just a marriage contract. Lucian Freki was my mate. "What time does city planning offices close ?"

"The offices are already closed. We better get there tomorrow morning, "Everest suggested.

"Fine. I will ask Anisha to accompany me so that you can report to the site. We need to have our eyes open and never leave it unattended. "

"Yes," Everest acknowledged.

"Did you send someone to the shed as instructed?

"Yes. They finished the work in five hours. "Everest grinned.

"Thank you, Everest," I nodded at him.

An hour later, I was alone on the construction site as the guards worked on the container office CCTV and security sensors. I had texted Lucian earlier and informed him I was working late. He returned the message with a call, making me chuckle in happiness.

"You don’t like texting, "I drawled on the phone.

"I want to hear your deep, husky voice, " Lucian shamelessly flirted.

"Mmm, how was your day?" I asked.

"Busy, my dear husband. And yours "He yawned.

"Crazy. I will update you later. Order for take-out today since I will be home late " I suggested.

" I am leaving the office now. See you at the construction site shortly., "he asserted.

The smile on my face increased to a grin. " I will be waiting. See you soon" He disconnected the call. By the time the security guard had finished, Lucian had not arrived yet. I walked out of the container and the night light illuminating the whole construction site left no corner darkened.

I stood and breathed in the night air while I walked around the place. The sound of cars approaching made my heart beat faster, knowing well Lucian was here. The guards opened the gates and Lucian’s jeep came into sight, followed by the SUV. After alighting, I watched the driver hand the keys to Lucian and then he boarded the SUV with the bodyguards and then they left.

I walked over; we embraced, and I pulled him into the container office as he placed the food on the table. I shut the door, put in the lock, and pulled Lucian into a big hug.

"I missed you so much, "I whispered into his ear. His body shuddered as he pushed back and we basked in the feeling of being with each other.

"Husband, I must be affecting you since you are getting bolder. ’’ He teased and a low chuckle rumbled in my chest.

"I have always been like this. The mountains made me forget my true nature." I confessed.

He turned around and his hands went to the ponytail I had tied and removed the band. He put it in my pocket and whispered, " I love when your hair looks like this. It reminds me of the first time I laid my eyes on you"

"You were too corny, "I smiled.

Lucian moved closer and leaned up. " I was blown away. I had never smelt something so wonderful yet seen such a beautiful being."

"You are exaggerating, " I whispered, and I glued my eyes to his.

"No Husband. I am not. What about you?" Lucian demanded.

I was silent for a while before I confessed, "Your eyes raking shamelessly all over my body made me feel alive. Your shameless nature had Dolf stir and purr for the first time since we became one. "

"Oh, my "Lucian whispered.

"What? "I descended our lips, breathing each other’s breath.

"You are too sexy for your good" Lucian pressed his lips on mine.
