LUCA’S POV

We rounded the corner for the cells that held the two prisoners. 

My beta and gamma stood outside the cell block with Davian’s beta Jacob.

As we neared the men I noticed something was off.

I made eye contact with Mateo, my beta, and he made his way to me before we reached the doors. The look on his face was troubled.

“Your highness, we.. have a problem.” 

“Tell me.” I demanded.

Davian stopped at my side as we waited for Mateo to deliver the news.

“The prisoner that was the abuser, is… Only requesting to speak with Alpha Davian. Says it has something to do with his mate.”

I felt the anger deep within. Not just from myself but from Davian as well.

Something felt wrong.

“The second prisoner was following orders from the tormentor.” Mateo said with hesitation.

“Let me see what the hell this guy is up to.” Davian said as he fought back his anger.

Davian stomped his way to the cellblock door flinging the door open with such anger that the swingback, the door handle, put a hole in the wall.

Davian made his way to the silver cell which held the prisoner, dragging a metal chair with him that screeched along the floor.

He swung the chair around so that when he sat, he straddled it.

He eyed the prisoner with such fierceness, it made Mateo and Jacob shiver.

I stood off to the side. Making sure to stay hidden, but able to hear the prisoner.

“Tell me, what the fuck gives you the right to speak to me of my mate?”

The prisoner laughed. Bloody from Mateo’s beating of course. But laughed at Davian.

“You have no idea what’s coming.” The prisoner laughed again.

“Not today, not next week, but when you least expect it.” He spat.

“Stop being cryptic, you piece of shit. First you put your hands on my sister, then you speak of my mate, now you speak of a threat to my pack.?” Davian said through gritted teeth.

The prisoner laughed again.

“He’s coming for your mate. For what’s rightfully his. The only reason he hasn’t come sooner is because the prince is here.” He laughed again.

I was starting to get agitated, but I needed to be patient to hear the rest of what this guy had to say. Davian ran his fingers through his hair and sighed heavily.

“Who is HE, what what the fuck does he think he has the right to?” Davian asked.

“My true Alpha, paid Alpha Kent for your mate. 25 million dollars. Before he was able to get his purchase, you intercepted his claim. He’s coming for your mate. And now your sister as well. His pack could have overthrown yours. With the prince here, it’s only a matter of time before his pack grows in numbers. Your mate will be his, and your sister will be everyone’s whore.” 

1. Saw.    Red.

Before Davian could say or do anything else, I stomped heavily to the cell and ripped open the cell door, not caring about the burning of my hands. I knelt before him, smiling wickedly.

“I’ll give you 30 seconds to deliver a message to “your Alpha Cain.’’ The prisoner’s eyes went wide. “Oh yes, I know of whom you speak, my kingdom has been looking into every detail about him for the past 2 years, for definite evidence. And you just gave it, your expression confirmed it all. Tell that coward to be ready, to give everything he’s got, because I, Alpha Prince Luca, will enjoy taking it ALL from him.” 

The prisoner's eyes glazed over, no doubt linking the message to Cain.

The moment his eyes returned to his normal state, I extended my claws, and ripped out his throat.

I wiped my hand on the prisoner's shirt before I stood.

I turned to Davian, his expression read between confusion and anger.

“Let’s head to your office, all of us.” I said as I looked at the others.

“Do what you will with the other prisoner, after, we speak.”

Davian nodded and I walked out of the room with my beta and gamma following close behind.

Davian followed behind with Jacob, as I made my way to his office.

****

The others stood around the room, on edge as I took a deep breath.

“The Alpha which the prisoner spoke of, has been under surveillance for the past few years.

A few of his new rogues were caught sniffing around my borders. The information we got from them was that this man was another form of evil. He purchases omega’s for his parties.

But his parties have always been on the move and always hush. We’ve never been able to confirm the accusations against him.”

“Then how do you know that it’s the same Alpha, the prisoner spoke of?” Davian asked.

“Because the rogues that were captured around my borders were tortured to give information. We smelled several different scents of omega’s on them. The torture was necessary, and when they spoke, and speak they did, the always started with, My true Alpha. And when the prisoner said he paid Alpha Kent for my brother, your mate, the evidence was laid out.

Now… We make a move.”

I turned to Mateo.

“Make the preparations with our elites, and get the others ready. We’re going to war.” I smiled.

Davian cleared his throat. “Please forgive me by saying, the fuck if you guys are doing this without my help.”

Davian turned to Jacob. “Get our elites trained and ready to move with the Prince and his pack.”

“Yes Alpha.” Jacob turned and left the room with Mateo and my gamma behind him.

I turned to Davian and sighed heavily. “I'm sorry for this, Davian, but you’re not invited.” 

His brows furrowed and he looked at me confused.

“Your mission is to keep my brother, and your sister safe. I can’t have them subjected to any of this, you’re the only one I trust to keep them safe.”

 I walked over and gave him a pat on his back.

I cleared my throat as I changed the subject.

“Let’s go check on your pups. I’m just as curious about their growth, as you are.”
