Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 209: Tracing the Witches

Whoever was knocking on the door needed to get a life. "Go. Away."

Killian tightened his hold on Inez, whom he was spooning, burying his face into her hair. Inez hadn’t stirred the entire night, which was probably because she had quite a troubled time yesterday. He breathed in her scent, which seemed to have some sort of calming effect on him, and it had started to become a sort of addiction, which he wanted again and again.

Moving her hair to one side, he licked the mark that he had left on her nape before cupping her core and skimming his fingers against it, smiling when he heard the low moan that escaped her lips. noveldrama

The person outside knocked once again.

Annoyed, Killian slipped out of bed and then pulled on the shirt that he had discarded last night. He strode downstairs before pulling the door open. "What?"

However, the second he opened the door, his eyes flashed beast when he saw Finn standing outside with a solemn look in his eyes. The look in the eyes of his beta told him that the matter was serious.

"I know it’s early, but we cannot wait around. Matt and Levi had tracked the witches. We have their position."

Ten minutes later, Inez and Killian joined Matt and Levi, along with the rest of the pack members, who were eager to hunt down those witches. Even though they knew that the site was just a feint, they needed to track those witches down because only after capturing someone close to the Great One could they get a clue on how to get close to her.

"So...where are the fuckers hiding?" asked Inez before taking a bite of the bacon on her plate.

"Silverhold". Matt scratched the back of his nape. "But I have to warn you, there is a very good possibility that this could be a complete waste of time."

Killian frowned and handed Inez a stack of muffins. She raised her head, and bless her soul for placing her hand on his forearm, because he nearly jumped at Matt then and there. "What do you mean?"

"The problem with IP tracing is that we can never be sure that we will catch the person behind."

Inez arched a brow. "You mean to say that there is a good chance that this building might be empty?"

"Well, Levi had tracked down the houses, and from what he found out, this house belongs to a couple. A human couple."

Hearing his response, Inez pursed her lips in a thin line. "I doubt any human would help witches or shifters. They hate and fear our kind with a passion."

"Exactly. The humans would never be as silly as to help the witches," said Matt. "In the beginning, I thought that this was a simple case. Just tracking the IP address that the witches were using, but it seemed like they were making use of magic. Even though they don’t have any hackers with them, they might have made use of their voodoo to plant a false trail, like planting a virus in the computer of a completely oblivious bloke who has no idea what his or her computer is being used for."

Killian released a frustrated growl. "You mean it’s very likely that this is the same scenario. That they had planted a fake IP address trail in the computer of those humans who don’t know anything."

Matt shrugged helplessly. "It’s not that I don’t want to give you an answer, but I cannot because it’s impossible. I have done everything, including tracing the sigils that were hidden in the site. A perfect blend of modern technology and magic; do you have any idea how hard it is for me to unveil the entire thing?"

"Then do we go there or not?" asked Inez with a frown. She turned to look at Killian.

"I think it might be best if Laxus and I go there," said Ajax while looking at the brooding enforcer who was staring at the laptop’s screen.

"No, we need to go there together," began Killian. "Because there is always a possibility that the witches are waiting for us there. Witches are known for their trickery; we can never be sure of what might be waiting for us. Maybe that human couple doesn’t even exist."

Laxus turned to look at Matt and questioned, "Can the witches fake someone’s existence as well?"

"That’s quite easy for them. You know how many halflings hide themselves in the world of humans. They pretend and live as humans, anyway, like Kill said. Everything is possible with the witches." Matt turned and looked at Inez and said to her, "I am sorry. I did try to track down the person who posted your video on the site, but I cannot find him yet, nor can I take it down. It feels really personal, for the video has a trace of aether within it. I cannot take it down, not unless I find the poster."

"It’s okay," she told him quietly.

"No, it’s not. But I will find a way to bring it down and trace the person who is behind it."

"Do you really have no suspicion about who this person might be, Inez?" asked Selene. "That way we can at least track the person down."

"I don’t know. Like I said, the entire pack was against me for some reason." Inez shook her head as she tried to pin down a single person in her head.

Laxus chimed in then, "But for them to do something so vindictive, it has to be personal."

Inez looked at him and remarked, "Only to them." He tilted his head to look at her, but nodded after a few seconds.

"What about Dominic?" Ajax questioned as he turned to look at Killian. "What did he have to say about it?"

"He has no idea about how the video ended up on the site. Apparently, he had locked it away quite well." Killian curled his upper lip, baring his fangs. "As stupid as the excuse sounds, I have a feeling that he is speaking the truth because he is that useless." He then straightened up and said, "I will arrange for a private jet. We will head straight to Silverhold. If the witches are really waiting for us there, then we need to let them have a taste of their own medicine."
