The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Seventy-Seven – Doesn’t add up.

Jarma smirked in disbelief but seeing Nathan’s worried and honest expression, he realized he didn’t actually know.

“The foxes grew a habit of stealing from wolf packs.”

Nathan’s eyes fluttered, he looked away from Jarma. The foxes stole from packs? He knew werewolves hated theft around their pack. It felt like the foxes were looking trouble.

“And the fox leader had killed two wolfs. Your sister’s mate and his own sister, her best friend. That was what fueled the massacre.”

It felt like a bomb was dropped on Nathan. He slowly turned to Jarma. The words echoed in his head and he sighed, holding his head in his hands.

So the foxes killed Luciana’s mate and his sister? That was how her mate had died? That what was fueled her pain and anger?

He wasn’t safe. He felt ashamed to be part of such clan. They had wanted their extinction.

“Foxes are stupid, impulsive and annoying. Their intelligence can be their doom sometimes.” He muttered.

Jarma heard him and walked closer. “Not all foxes. Surely they’d be some that are good.”

He knew Nathan was being hard on himself. No species can be completely evil, even the crime was committed by few foxes yet all had to die.

Nathan shook his head, he sauntered off from the Luna’s house. His fate was sealed, if ever his sister realized he was from the fox clan.

Jarma watched with a sad expression. The Alpha shouldn’t have a clue. It would be tough for her to choose between her brother and her mate.

Nathan pushed back any words of advice, scold or consolation Keon was bringing up. He didn’t want to hear that fox. His clan died because of their foolishness, there was no other way to it.

Keon hadn’t even been given to him when the disaster happened so he wouldn’t know what crime his clan had committed.

All he knew would be knowing no other fox existed because Alpha Luciana wiped them from Earth’s surface.

He slumped on his bed, looking around his room, he and sister had designed it and bought the accessories.

Those beautiful memories haunted him. He had lived with Luciana for fifteen years while indirectly being the cause of her pain.

Would he be able to look in her eyes when she’d kill him? Would she be able to look in his?

He plucked his phone from the table and called basically the one person he could talk to about everything and get a sense of healing.

“Hey, Steph.”

She cleared her throat. “Hey, Nathan. I’ve been calling you but your line is switched off. Any good news? Johnson’s dead?”

She sighed when they wasn’t any response. “Nathan? Something terrible happened right?”

“Did you listen to me? Did you do any research about Werefoxes?” he enquired.

Stephanie jumped from her bed, took a look at her phone then placed it in her ears again.

“Of course not, you were clear that you’d die. What the fvck happened?”

“Stephanie, I feel Luciana is going to know about my secret very soon.”

Beads of sweat formed on Stephanie’s head and she wiped it off involuntarily.

“So… so does it mean she’d kill you? I mean, must she kill you? Humans accepted werewolves, why can’t she accept foxes?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Nathan sniffed, fighting the words in. “Well,” it came out distorted, he cleared his throat. “We owe them. A fox had killed my sister’s mate.”

“Oh, but that happens all the time. I mean, killing a wolf and all. Is it different cos a fox killed a wolf?’

“It’s different because I’m guessing this wolf was innocent and he was the mate to an Alpha. And the foxes stole from lots of packs.”

Stephanie chewed on her lips looking for her next words. It didn’t still add up.

A fox killed an Alpha’s mate wasn’t enough for an extinction of his clan. Alpha Luciana must have monstrous anger to have killed all.

Her father had been in coma for five years over a werewolf having an accident with him, the wolf hadn’t even apologized and was sent scot-free.

Why should a fox be killed along with the whole clan because of killing a wolf, even if it was the mate of the formidable Luciana.

“Nathan, I think of this and no matter how I try, it doesn’t add up. You, foxes are intelligent and wouldn’t start a fight for nothing.”

She sighed. “Yes, a fox killed a wolf, but it should have ended there and not with an extinction.”

Nathan blinked his eyes slowly, he moved the phone to another ear. “Even if, Steph, the fox clan was destroyed. I only wished to live so far but now I don’t think I deserved it.”

Stephanie frowned. “You deserve it.” What was wrong with him? His sister didn’t know yet! “Don’t speak like that.”

He sighed, hanging up on her.

Stephanie glanced at the phone before throwing it on her bed, she ran her hands through her hair. An extinction? Luciana was a real hard pill.

She stared at her phone hoping for another call but none came. Nathan shouldn’t hurt himself, or he’d be answering to her, his girlfriend.

Leo knocked twice on the door before coming into the room, with a tray of hot tea. He stared at it as his mind went to his earlier plan.

He wanted to drug it, with a sleeping drug then deliver Johnson to his cousin, it would be very easy.

But the body of an Alpha could defy lots of drugs, especially as Johnson trained to be a tuxedo ninja and was resistant to lots of drugs.

“Hmm, thank you.” Johnson looked up and gave an eye smile. He had been overly cheerful since his latest discovery of Nathan’s origin.

He folded his finished letter and tapped it on Leo. “Send to Luciana. I thought of blackmailing Nathan for a while but I don’t think he’d play.”

Leo took the letter and stared at it for a while. “Yes, Alpha!” he made a quick bow and walked out of the room.

He had thought it through, he couldn’t let Luciana know the truth yet, it would distract the plan and Nathan had been a good planner, he couldn’t die now.

Ripping the letter apart, he opened a trash bin and tossed inside. “This chaos can wait, now is not the time.” He turned then paused.

“And when is?” it was Johnson behind him, his eyes were glowing red, and he was fondling with a dagger.

Leo gasped, stepping back. Was he discovered just at the point of trying to divert trouble? “No, Alpha isn’t not what you think?”

“Do explain, because I’m confused.” Johnson narrowed his eyes. He stopped walking when he was besides the trash bin.

He brought out another letter and stretched it out to Leo. “Send this letter to Luciana, now!”

The knife in his hands were positioned to throw, Leo looked down at the shadows, meaning the elder wolves were coming.

He wasn’t going to survive the night, even if he gave Luciana the letter. Johnson must have discovered him.

“I’m afraid not!” he jumped through the fence and sent two knives towards Johnson, just as the one in his hands flew towards his throat.

It was a sheer miss, one that beclouded Leo’s reasoning so he fell. The growls of the wolves got him back up and he ran towards the forest.

Johnson smirked, watching him run.

Did he think he was that stupid? Faking dead to avoid fighting along side him? The elder wolves smelling him as rogue?

He wasn’t smelling rogue, he was rogue. Since he feared Luciana more than he did him, he should run off and see how long he lasts.

“When he’s less a coward, he’d be back.” He sighed, and dialed a line. “Yes, get me someone, I need to deliver a letter.”
