Chapter One Hundred and Thirty–Three – Hilarious
Chris’s POV
Logan’s silence was deafening. What was he waiting for before striking?
Since he revealed his intentions, he should act accordingly, but he had been quiet. It was scary.
“Why not accept that the grenades killed him?” my wolf asked.
I ignored him, still picking at the food on my plate. There was no way that could kill him.
I badly regretted not turning back to know what happened. He’d be hurt but not dead.
Surely, Logan would need medicine for his wounds, and with his rogues killed, he’d have to go
himself.
I made sure the warriors stationed around would alert me when he did, but no one saw him.
Instead, they spoke of a little demon, like Edwin. Crazy lot. Was it fear making them hallucinate?
I dropped the spoon on the plate and sat back. “Someone should take this away!” I ordered.
The watery soup was making my thoughts swirl around–I needed some steadiness. I looked up to meet Sasha’s gaze.
She darted her eyes to the maid leaving with my food, then brought her eyes back to me. “I made the food. Why don’t you want to eat?”
I shook my head. “I hold nothing against you or the food–just that my mind won’t let me feed my stomach.”
She made a small smile, then sipped on her soup hungrily. There were two empty plates beside her.
She ate a lot now–perhaps her time was getting close? I didn’t know much about pregnancy.

I left the table, taking small steps towards the door. “Oh, and if you look for me, I may be at Ray’s apartment, not the courtroom, okay?”
She raised her head from her food and nodded. “Sure.”
A breath of fresh air blew over me as I stood outside. I raised my head, heaving a sigh of relief, then reached out for Ray’s mind link.

Alpha, I’m with the warriors. The first batch at the cave just returned for their break. Do you need me now?” he asked when we linked.
“What?” I raised à brow. “Why are you there with them?”
“Well, my mate is busy with a situation involving the border warriors, so I came here,” he replied.
“I mean, why did they need someone with them?” I hurried to the gate. “If those warriors sensed Logan, they were to report to me!”
My Beta chuckled. What was funny?
Those warriors ignored my direct orders and asked him to be with them? What if he got hurt?
“Yeah, but the small demon. They did tell you about it, didn’t they?” Ray asked, still chuckling.
Seriously? They dragged my Beta to that place of danger–because of a mysterious small demon? Was he supposed to babysit them?
“By their ranks, they should be ever battle–ready, not babysat. Ray, return now!” I was pissed.
“We’re already at the border. The second batch is here, and I’d like to stay with them. They were really stunned by it.”
“Ray…” I trailed off. This was infuriating.
“I’ll meet you there, then.” I could already see the gate, and I watched as he and the warriors walked in. They were below twenty–still babies.
“What kind of demon did you see?” I barked‘ when I stood in front of them. They looked down.
Cara left the border warriors and rushed to me. “Alpha, did they do something?”
“I know it’s your job to answer for them, but you weren’t the one complaining about a small demon, so move aside,” I gestured.
Ray pulled her away, smirking. “Let them answer–I find their story hilarious too.”
One of the warriors looked at their Lead Warrior, then at me. “Alpha, it wasn’t made up.”
“Describe what you saw!”
“First, we noticed an energy coming toward us. One that could have been Logan–but it didn’t stay for more than five seconds before it disappeared.”
They didn’t say that in the report!

No matter how briefly the energy appeared, if they sensed Logan, they should have spoken. “Then?”
“Then, when one of us tried to check it out, a small creature ran from under us–right under us, it was hairy and fast,” he wailed.
The other one was sniffing, breathing heavily. I could tell they weren’t lying, and it began to worry
- me.
“But demons don’t live in this realm,” Ray said.
They turned to him. “We told Delta Edwin when he came to check on us, and he said he saw it too. He thinks it’s the Lycan demon!”
I rolled my eyes. Now it was a Lycan demon? These guys were hilarious.
“Okay, okay. Since you all experienced it, then it’s not hallucination!” I agreed.
“But the Lycan can’t be small and run under you guys without you knowing, sensing his energy–or dying,” Ray stressed the last part.
His mate nudged him, and I smiled. “Your Beta is right. If any of you met Logan, you’d be dead.”
“Then we met his demon!” the warrior asserted.
I exhaled. Shouldn’t that be worse than Logan himself?
“You were kept far from his cave–just around to alert me if he showed up. If you see this ‘demon‘ again, tell me–I’ll come to cast and bind.”
I patted the other warrior. “Go on now. Go rest.”
The two of them walked away with slouched shoulders. I stared at them worriedly.
The one who cried without talking was actually a distant relative of Ray’s. Perhaps that was why Ray decided to stay with them.
He always cried when faced with challenges bigger than him and laughed loudly when excited. He rarely lied too.
If he was crying speechlessly, then he might have actually met a demon–which was still funny.
“Did you need me for something, though?” Ray asked, holding onto his mate. Did he need her for something?
I furrowed my brows. “Cara, give him to me for a bit–you have him all night.”

She released him, her cheeks reddening. “Sure, Alpha.” She walked away.
“You didn’t have to put it like that,” Ray whined, hitting me.
I smirked, glad he was annoyed.
Wiping the smirk off, I asked, “But do you think Lycan has an alibi he’s using? A fast, small wolf helping him?”
“Where would he find a small, fast wolf to help him? That would be a pup–but no pup can shift,” Ray said, then paused.
I paused with him. “What? Do you think it’s a dwarf wolf?” I didn’t know if those were real.
“No–but some pups could shift. My sister shifted at nine.”
I cocked my head. She did? That was quick.
“Well, she wasn’t an ordinary wolf. All the warriors said about this one was that it was fast. Any wolf can be fast,” Ray shrugged.
“Hmm… yeah. Maybe we should wait until it attacks again. Then we catch it and force it to shift. It might surprise us.”
That was all to do–wait and catch it.
Moon Goddess help it if it actually worked for Logan–it wouldn’t see the light of the next day.
