The Wolf King's Luna

Chapter 65: A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

VANCE

"Can you believe he made me look like a fool?" I complained to Cody as he drove, keeping his eyes on the road.

"I knew going back there was a bad idea," Cody responded, his focus on our unexpected visit.

"Those cookies were made by Catherine, I can bet on it," I said with frustration in my voice.

"Did you tell them that?"

"Of course."

"No wonder they didn't take you seriously. You only have cookies as evidence," Cody remarked, glancing at my furrowed brows through the rearview mirror.

"No offense, Alpha," he quickly added, recognizing the delicate nature of the situation.

I sighed, realizing my impulsive move might have messed things up with the Blackwater Pack. Tension filled the car as we continued driving.

Cody, always practical, suggested, "Maybe next time, we need more solid evidence or information before making a move like that."

"Next time?" I scoffed. "There shouldn't be a next time. I need to get Catherine back, and I need to do it soon." My inner wolf scoffed mocking me.

"I understand, Alpha, but we have to be strategic about it. We can't afford to make hasty decisions," Cody advised, trying to calm my impatience.

"I won't sit back and watch them keep her away from me," I declared.

As we approached the Skylight Pack territory, Cody continued, "We need to gather more information and find out where she is exactly. Once we have a solid plan, we can get her back without any doubts."

"I don't want to wait. Every moment she spends there is a moment too long," I was wrong to have rejected her, I grumbled in frustration.

"I get it, Alpha. But rushing in without a plan might make things worse. We need to know what we're up against, and if Catherine also wants to come back with you" Cody reasoned, trying to make sense of my heated emotions.

"I just want her back," I admitted.

"I know, Alpha. We'll get her back, but we need to be smart about it," Cody reassured, navigating through the familiar Skylight Pack territory.

Arriving at the Skylight Packhouse, I composed myself, ready to face the challenges ahead. The night was falling, casting shadows on the packhouse as we entered the territory. Cody parked the car, and we both stepped out.

"We'll start by discreetly gathering information, then formulate a plan,"

"Let's get this done. She is my mate and I want her back" I declared and Cody bowed in agreement.

CATHERINE

As Damon looked into my eyes, concern on his face, he gently wiped away my tears. His question about my parents reopened a painful chapter in my life.

"They were accused of trying to assassinate the previous Alpha of Skylight Pack," I revealed, my voice trembling with sorrow.

"What?" Damon exclaimed in shock

"They couldn't have done it. Even though I was young back then, I can remember that the only thing my dad wanted was to provide for me and my mum. What would've made him want to kill the Alpha?" I questioned, trying to make sense of the unjust accusations against my parents.

"This is deep," Damon responded, his voice sympathetic.

"I want to find out what happened to my parents. Please help me, Damon," I pleaded, looking at him with a glimmer of hope.

Damon, sensing the gravity of my request, nodded. "We'll find the truth, Cathy. I promise."

He took a moment before speaking again, "Can you remember any specific details about the day they were accused? Anything that might give us a clue?"

I closed my eyes, delving into my memories. "It was a chaotic day. The Alpha accused them publicly, and the pack turned against us. I remember my parents pleading their innocence, but no one believed them."

Damon's expression shifted from empathy to determination. "Were there any witnesses who might know the truth?"

Shaking my head, I replied, "I don't know. The pack was in chaos, and my parents were killed right in front of me."

Damon's eyes hardened, his jaw clenched. "We need more information. Do you have any belongings or documents from that time?"

"No, Damon. I was just a child" I explained, feeling a twinge of sadness.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I'm so sorry you had to go through such a tragic experience as a child. I'll make sure we get to the bottom of this." Damon reassured and continued

"We'll start by finding out if there are any records, witnesses, or clues that might lead us to the truth. I won't let this injustice persist."

I was so grateful that Damon was committed to helping me solve the mystery surrounding my parents' unjust fate, it filled me with gratitude. As we continued discussing, he decided it was time to involve others.

"We can't do this alone. We need more help," he suggested.

I nodded in agreement. "You're right"

"Let's call in my mum, Melissa, Ryder, and Faye. They need to be a part of this discussion."

Damon used the Packs link to reach all of them at once and as the Alpha of the Pack, when he calls, everyone obeys

We went downstairs to the living room and everyone was eagerly waiting for the reason for the call.

Damon explained the situation to them as I couldn't go over it again. Soon, the room was filled with concerned faces, each person expressing their determination to support our quest for justice.

Melissa, with her reassuring presence, spoke first. "We need to approach this carefully. Gathering information from Skylight Pack won't be easy, but we'll figure it out together."

Ryder added, "We should have a plan. Sneaking into another pack territory won't be a walk in the park."

Faye, standing by Damon's side, chimed in, "I'll do whatever it takes to help Cat. We can't let the truth remain hidden."

"Cat darling, we will make sure we find out the truth regarding the murder of your parents. Be rest assured" Luna Diana said patting my back and I gave her a faint smile muttering

"Thank you"

As they continued to discuss their strategy, I felt a renewed sense of hope. With such a dedicated team by my side, the journey to uncovering the secrets of my past seemed more achievable.

"Do you have a picture of your parents?" Luna Diana asked.

"Not anymore. I had it with me on the day I was beaten and thrown into the river to die, but I lost it," I responded, my eyes tearing up. I had lost the only memory I had of my parents. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Damon pulled me into a tight hug. "It's okay, baby," he said, trying to calm me down.

"I found an old picture by the shore where we found Cat. I didn't know if it belonged to her. Let me get it," Mel said as she hurriedly breezed out and returned with an old picture.

"Here," she said, handing it to me. Behold, it was the picture of my parents.

"This is the picture I lost. They're my parents," I said, shedding tears.

A voice echoed behind me.

"Your mum is alive."
