Chapter 24: Chapter 24
BLOOD MOON PACK
Alpha Jax glared at his Beta as he lay a report to him.
"You mean you couldn't capture just one girl for more than three weeks? Are you becoming useless?", He said as he looked at Beta Rufus with a disappointed face.
"Alpha, we have already locked her down but she suddenly disappeared. We couldn't trace her", Beta Alpha said looking confused.
He did go to the girl's house. When he didn't see her, he told a neighbor about their visit and ask him to deliver the message.
"I want you to go back and bring whoever is in contact with her, right this minute. If you can't do this simple task consider yourself dismissed", Alpha Jax said as he waved him out of his office.
Beta Rufus bowed deeply and left the Alpha's office. He wondered how the girl could just disappear all of a sudden.
Beta Rufus called some of his men as they drove into the slum where the girl lived. He really wants to see the girl who had been giving him a headache these few days. The girl must be a professional pickpocket to be able to steal from Alpha Jax.
Beta Rufus stepped out of his car to view the surroundings while looking around for someone who can share information. He saw a girl that looked disheveled.
He beckoned to the girl who wasn't more than ten years old. The girl hesitated before moving closer to him. He brought out a photo and showed the girl.
"Do you know her?"He asked carefully.
The little girl remained silent as she wiggled her hands behind her and swallowed an invisible lump of spit as she stared at the wallet in Beta Rufus' hands.
Beta Rufus seems to understand something. He brought out his wallet and took out several dollar bills showing them to the girl.
The girl's face immediately lit up at the sight of the money before her. She stretched out her hands to collect it but Beta Rufus raised it.
"If you can answer all my questions, this money are all yours", he said waving it at the girl.
"What do you want to know sir?", She asked as she glanced around her.
"Do you know her?"
"Yes, I do. Her name is Aurora and she has her mother and little sister with her"
"Where is she?"
"I really don't know sir, but just yesterday, they left their home with a small and large suitcase. I guess they are traveling. I heard they left because some mafias wanted Aurora dead. So they left in fear", the girl replied.
"Does she have friends?"
"She doesn't have friends. But she does have one friend since she moved here. He is very weird because he doesn't have a girlfriend but he always hangs out with men. He has a weakness for handsome men like you. My mother said he is gay. His name is Craig and he lives some few blocks away From the here"
"Can you take me there?", Beta Rufus asked.
"Sir, I really can't take you there. But I can describe the place for you", she replied as she started giving him a description of Craig's apartment
"Thank you and don't tell anyone you ever saw us or else…", Beta Rufus said as he made a sign of slitting her throat.
The girl shivered as she stared at the man before her. These people looked very dangerous. She can't afford to offend them. Beta Rufus threw her all the money worth some few thousand.
She immediately forgot about the dangerous man before her and squatted down to pick all the dollars on the ground. These would be enough to feed for a while. She had to go and show her mother.
But this money was gotten from selling someone out. What if they kill Craig?
Well, she shouldn't feel guilty because she just answered some harmless questions.
She watched as the men entered the black car and drove in the direction she gave them.
***********
Craig was just about to leave his apartment when a handsome man walked up to him. The man was looking so handsome yet…scary. If not that he was worried about his friend, Aurora, he would have hit on the man already
Gosh, he was so handsome.
"Are you Craig, Aurora's friend?", The man asked as he flashed him a charming smile.
Craig was dazed when he saw the man's beautiful smile. He nodded his head.
"Oh! That's good then", the man replied as he asked two muscular men to hold Craig down.
"Who are you guys? What do you want from me?", Craig shouted
"We want Aurora Patterson", the man said without beating around the bush.
"I don't know where she went to", Craig replied stubbornly.
"Oh really? You had better start talking or else you won't like what I would do to you", the man said nonchalantly.
"I don't know where she went to", Craig repeated.
"Jeremy", the man called out.
The man called Jeremy walked up to Craig and punched him so hard that he fainted. They picked him up and bundled him into one of the cars.
They quickly drove away carrying Craig.

ABANDONED BUILDING
Shrill cries were heard from an abandoned building deep in the woods. The cries show how much torture the person was enduring.
"You don't have to be stubborn Craig", Beta Rufus said", I will free you immediately you tell me where she went".
"Fuck off! Even if I knew I would never betray my friend", Craig cursed.
"Really? Will you stay loyal to a friend that abandoned you? I will kill you and still find out about her. Isn't it better for you to tell me and keep your life?", Beta Rufus asked
"I won't sell my friend out", Craig said with determination.
"Alright, I won't kill you but I might kill someone though", Beta Rufus said with a wicked smile.
"I don't care who you want to kill. I won't sell my friend out!", Craig repeated.
"Really? You mean you value your friendship more than that of your brother?", Beta Rufus said, raising a brow.
"What…what did you say? Don't you dare fucking touch, my brother! I will kill you", Craig screamed like a wild beast.
How did these people find out about his brother? Even Aurora doesn't know he had a brother. He has been a sickly child from birth. So he practically grew up in the town's medical center for special cases.
He goes to meet him once every week. He is the only family he had.
"Do you think your threat would work? Your friend offended the Moon Mafia's boss and she has to pay for it. As for you, you are innocent just like your brother", Beta Rufus paused before he continued.
"I promise to spare you and your brother if you just tell me what I want to know"
Craig stared at the men around him with a terrified expression. Now, he knew why Aurora had to leave immediately. No one messes with the Moon Mafians and stays alive. It is said that he is very heartless and ruthless.
He had warned her several times to stop stealing but all to no avail. Well, these people can't even do anything to her.
Craig was sure that Aurora could defend herself against these people. If they insist, he will tell them who Aurora really was.
"I will tell you. But to be honest, I really don't know the actual place", Craig said after weighing the pros.
"Go ahead"
"She said she was going to her father's home or something like a Pack"
"Did you say Pack?", Beta Rufus asked a bit surprised. Is that girl a werewolf?
"Yes, something like that. That's all I know about her", Craig said.
"You are lying", Beta Rufus said, if you lie to me one more time I will reap your head off", he threatened as he began to lose his cool over Craig's words.
Beta Rufus was so angry that his eyes suddenly started changing color. This human is getting on his nerves. He wished he could snap his head off.
Craig looked at them with a smirk. But then he caught sight of Beta Rufus's eye color. Are these people also werewolves?
Craig shivered at the thought of meeting one of those monsters again. He still hasn't forgotten that night. Not just one person but up to five men.
"Tell me something and I will let you go immediately. That girl Aurora, is she a werewolf?", Beta Rufus asked.
Craig's widened eyes that were filled with shock answered his question. That girl is not human. She is a werewolf.
What if she is from the enemy camp and stole those documents to give to their Alpha?
He has to let Alpha Jax know immediately.
"Jeremy, send a message to the Alpha and explain everything to him. This is getting more complicated", Beta Rufus said, Jeremy nodded and proceeded to do what he was told.
