His Found Lycon luna Chapter 96
Cedric nods and pats the books. When the moon goddess created Landeena and Azure, they were each otherâs weaknesses. Two halves of a whole. Neither could outweigh the other. But both were destined for others. Fire and ice. Opposites, yet magnificently the same. Both will burn you if you endure it too long,â
Cedric says. My brows pinch in the middle as his words sink in. So what did that make me? What was!
destined for if not for the king beside me?
âAnd that made them Exempt from having to hand their blood to the council,â
âWell, I sure as hell wasnât going to demand King Garret to hand over his blood,â Larkin snorts.
âWho was an elder from your Kingdom?â | ask, turning to Kyson.
âMy father was, and sister for the Valkyrie Kingdom.â Kyson answers when Larkin speaks.
âCrux represents Landeena now since he is the only one left, or so we assumed. Myself and my brother, Denali, for Credence. Your motherâs sister, Emilia, and your mother were Azure representatives, but Emilia died in the attack on Azure, and your mother quit after that.â Larkin explains while looking at Kyson when he mentions his brotherâs name.
âItâs also why I know youâre wrong about the Council. We all lost our Kingdoms and our families to the hunters. No way would we work with them,â Larkin says, and Kyson opens a drawer in his desk. He pulls out a sandwich bag, dropping it on the desk.
âTandi?â He says, motioning for her to come to him. She glances at him before nervously walking over to the desk. Kyson taps the insignia in the small bag.
âIs this the insignia you saw?â he asks when I feel his own aura slip out over her. She grips the desk, her knuckles turning white, and Damian growls and steps forward before freezing when Kyson looks at him.
He nods once and turns his gaze away from his mate.
âYes. Crux also was wearing one.â Tandi answers, but Larkin shakes his head.
âNo, he wouldnât betray us. You saw the annual meetings. I brought you to a couple of them. No way would you catch me around anyone that wore that!â Larkin says. Tandi glares at him.
âI know what I saw, Larkin. Crux and those strange men were always in the VIP function room,â Tandi growls.
âYou saw them with me?â he demands. Tandi shakes her head, and his brows furrow.
âNo, after the meetings. You were at the meetings. Some of the other men you work with, the ones you introduced me to, and others. And that woman, you know, the one I said, called me slut and spat on me.â
Tandi says, her eyes darkening in her anger.
âAh, whatâs her name⦠one of Cruxâs mistresses,â Larkin asks, and Tandi nods.
âCruxâs mistress was part of the ceremony?â Kyson growls, but Larkin shakes his head.
âNo, of course not. Never. She just came to watch,â Larkin states, but Tandi contradicts him.
âNo, she always attends the after-party thing. I have seen her drink the same thing. She wore the patch on her sleeve.â Tandi states.
âDo you know the name of the mistress?â | ask Larkin.
âI only met her once or twice, and I couldnât stand the woman. Crux usually left the Council quarters to meet
her after Denali scolded her one night when she tried to overstep him. After that, she was banished from the Council, but he brought her to a couple of the functions.â
âSo you have never met with the hunters or worked with them?â I asked, feeling Kyson use my aura harder this time. Larkin answers immediately
âNever. And I would kill anyone on the Council who would,â he answers, and I look at Kyson.
âDid you know about Alpha Brock killing Tandiâs daughter?â I demand, and he shakes his head.
âNo, he didnât kill her. I know because I have seen her,â Larkin says
âLiar!â Tandi snarls
âHeâs not lying, Tandi. He canât,â Damian says, motioning to me, and Tandi blinks back tears.
âThen where is she? I heard him chuck her over. I heard her scream,â
âHe chucked a rock. Crux was on the ledge beneath. He grabbed her. Do you think we would let him kill a child? I was told not to tell you, but I tried, I tried telling you, I kept telling you to run home!â Larkin snaps when Tandiâs hand moves with blinding speed, and she punches him. He goes flying back in his chair, clutching his face, when Damian grabs her around the waist before she can pounce on him and rips her backward.
âFuck Tandi!â Larkin shrieks, his nose bleeding for the second time.
âWhere is she? Whereâs my baby?â she snarls, thrashing in Damianâs arms.
âThe orphanage! You crazyâ¦â he stops when Damian growls at whatever he is about to call her. Yet I look at Kyson and gulp.
âThe orphanage?â Tandi whispers. âGo home,â she breathes like those words finally made sense, yet for rogues and for those of us girls from the orphanage, home was death, and Tandi clearly believed the same. Home wasnât a place. It was a feeling of setting oneâs tortured soul free. Home was death, and death was freedom if you grew up rogue in that place while under Mrs. Daleyâs care.
âYes, the one he got you from! The one in Alpha Brocks pack,â Larkin his
I gasped, wondering which child she was because we adopted them all but a handful to Lycan homes.
âWeâll find her. Weâll find her,â Damian whispers, trying to soothe his mate.
âAlpha Brock has her,â Tandi sobs.
âNo, we do. I took all the orphan children,â I tell her, and her head whips to the side to look at me, and I swallow hard.
âWhere?â she says, her hands trembling as she tries to get Damian to loosen his hold.
âMost were adopted by the other Lycans in town. We will find her. They will give her back if she is hereâ
Damian assures her.
âShe was adopted? But she is alive?â Tandi asks, turning her gaze to Larkin, who nods.
âA few are still here. Clarice watches over them with Abbie. Abbie will take you to see if she is amongst the ones still here,â I assure her.
âEither way, my people would have looked after her. Weâll find her, Tandi,â Kyson assures her, and she looks at Damian over her shoulder, and he nods, pressing his head against hers.
âIf she is alive, Iâll get her back,â he whispers, and she lets out a breath, squeezing her eyes shut.
âSo, can I sit, or are you going to punch me again?â Larkin asks. Fixing the chair. Tandiâs eyes fly open and she glares at him.
