Chapter 97

Not many persons would know you can tell relations by the colours of our wolves and Lycan, but my mate does, she is well wise beyond her years, a perfect Luna Queen.

Cory cuts through my mind 'Ty, we can't get anything out of this wolf but it seems to be pretty stubborn and strong' 'I'm on my way' "sorry Red, I need to go, Cory needs me to help with the interrogation" "if you don't mind me saying Tyler, if you haven't already I don't think it would be a good idea to put the she wolf with the Jablesse, just in case she is affiliated with the Reaper Nation and may be able to share information along and avoid talking about the Jablesse in her presence, infiltrations come in many many forms"

I stare at her "noted thank you and no we didn't put them together" "alright, well don't let me keep you" I inhale deep taking in a much of her floral scent as possible then leave with one final look back at her, Hunter whimpers softly already missing his mate, I open the door and step out closing it behind me and headed out towards the dungeons.

"What do we have Cory?" "a very stubborn and aggressive wolf, I'm thinking we can try having you Alpha command and get her to shift" I walk over to the holding cell where the Rogue is chained and standing in the corner with it's back hairs raised and growling "a feisty one huh" it growls and tries to rush forward but is pulled back by the chains holding it.

I allow Hunter to come forward a bit "SHIFT" the wolf bucks and begins to growl and yelp as though in pain, it begins to heave and throws up, it spurts forward almost spattering on our feet if we hadn't jumped back, the wolf shifts giving way to it's human, Cory freezes next to me sniffing the air hard "oh my Gods" it's a she wolf, she sits up and looks around bewildered, her brown hair matted to her body and her eyes wild and confused, she then looks at me then over to Cory and once their eyes lock "MATE!"

They both say "don't look at my mates naked body! get her out of there Tyler! open the gates!" he shouted to the guards "you will do no such thing Cory but I give you my permission to give her a covering for her body, she will be treated no different to Carson until we can get to the bottom of things"

"But Tyler, this is my mate!" "so what? do you think she would've been treated any differently had she been mine? get yourself together Beta! the faster we figure out what's what with her the faster she can get out"

He tries to steady his breathing and control his wolf, he goes to the supply shelf and grabs a blanket and throws is gently through the bars at her "cover yourself up" she takes it and wraps it around her body "who are you people and why am I here?" "sorry miss, we're the ones asking the questions right now and we'd appreciate it if you answer truthfully" I turn to one of the guards "can you get Astrid please, tell her it's urgent"

"That way we won't need to do multiple questionings"  Astrid comes along with the guard Ten minutes later "what's the matter?" "I need you to assess this she wolf as I question her, I need to know if she tries to deceive us" "okay" "hi I'm Astrid, please keep your eyes on my as you answer the questions you will be asked okay?"

She nods " what is your name?" " Alessa Vigo" "how old are you?" "I'm Twenty Two" "where are you from?" "Turga" I look at Cory and he's as surprised as I am "you're a long way from home Alessa, what's the last thing you remember?" "I was in the woods gathering Elderberries for my mother to bake pies" "how long ago was that?" "what do you mean? A few minutes ago" "okay, can you tell me the date and time of day you were picking them"

"Today is March 3rd is it not?" I whistle "today is October 17th" her eyes widen "what? no that's impossible! you're lying! today is March 3rd!"

"Calm down little one, today is indeed October 17th and to answer your earlier question, you are in the Royal City, I am the Lycan King and this is Cory my Royal Beta"

Her lower lip trembled as she looked at him "is it really October?" "yes, yes it is" she sobbed and Cory whimpers "how did I get here?" "you see that mess there?" I point to what she threw up "you where captured and it took control of your body, only it knows what you've been up to between March and now and the reason you're here in my dungeon is because you and three other Rogues attacked the previous Alpha King and one of our people"
