章 200: The last laugh

At the border of Damien's pack…

"Alpha, a messenger from home!" Lucas's beta burst into the tent, panic evident in his voice as he awaited orders.

Lucas stared blankly, wondering what could have happened and how his mother had discovered his location. He had lied to her about where he was, how had she outsmarted him again?

That woman would never let him have his moment. She was always finding a way to outshine her son. Sometimes, he wished he could eliminate her, but her connections and power could prove useful in the future. He planned to wrest those from her before disposing of her. Reuniting with his biological father would be the ultimate way to repay her for everything.

"Bring me the message," he ordered, but his beta hesitated, standing still. Lucas raised an eyebrow, questioning him silently.
