CHAPTER 31

Kavi's POV

Vijayan entered my room and bowed his head. I nodded my head and asked him to sit down. He gave

me a file regarding the idea I gave him to build a small production unit where we could do the next level

jobs of the products we are cultivating in our pack lands.

"I think you brought a guest to the dungeon."

He said in a casual voice. I looked up at him and he was really asking casually. After all, he is my Beta

and he has the right to know.

"Yeah. He is a bait for my current mission. I will handle it. Don't worry about it, Vijay. I will see the

models and will let you know tomorrow which one we could finalize."

I told him in the same casual tone.

"You don't have to explain it to me, Alpha. Please let me know if I could do anything about it. I have

written my opinion about each model behind the sketch. If you want me to explain, just call me."

I nodded my head with a smile and dismissed him.

I kept the file aside and opened my mail to finish the orders for those I received advances. I decided to

reduce my projects as already I have my plates full. My college, pack duties, bruised mark and the

search hunt of Dark Vipers' leader.

I worked for a few hours and called Vijayan and Nakul to discuss the pros and cons of every design

and we finalised the design which we all felt that gives optimal yield. On my morning run, I noticed a

vast land near the northern territory was just covered with creepers and other small plants. I asked

them to arrange a volunteer group to clear that place. After that, I leaned on my chair. It was mentally

exhausting to go through all these. I skipped my college today and it wasn't the first time this month.

The exams were due in a month which was the last thing to bother. But the main thing making me

worry was, I couldn't go to Green ocean pack today. I failed to keep up the words I have given to my

mate. I knew he will understand but I feel bad for him. He is my mate. And it was natural to want to be

with me all the time. But my Alpha duties and my personal commitments were coming between us.

I mind linked my mate and found he was in their furniture shop in the town. I apologised to him that I

couldn't come here. But he told that he had asked everyone about the strange thing but no one

mentioned anything. Sezhiyan wants to talk to us separately and he doubts that he must know

something. I told him that I will make some time this week to officially visit them. I already asked Vijay

to prepare for the Peace treaty which would get ready in two days. So I could make that agreement

while I go there and it will help me to spend some hours with my friends. I miss my friends.

I got this chance to explore Ashwin's den when he went to a bar nearby. I used the masking spray and

entered his den through the balcony. Hari was waiting for me in a truck opposite to this apartment and

was examining the place for me. The place was a total mess. There was nothing usual in his living

room and kitchen. I made sure that I was not disturbing the place of things kept. I started searching in

his bedroom. His closet consists of some t-shirts and jeans and an old bed was placed in a corner. The

bedside table had nothing interesting. I lifted his bed and found a scribbling notepad. This should do. I

quickly started taking images of his scribblings on my mobile phone.

When I finished the snaps, I heard a sound from the balcony. Hari mind linked that he saw someone

was entering the place the same way I did. I mentally smirked at this bonus rat coming to get caught. I

have hidden behind the bedroom curtain and found a man entering with a mask on his face. I noticed

the same blue snake circling a black rose tattoo on his forceps. That was all I needed. I don't want

Ashwin to know someone was here when he went out. I absorbed his energy and quickly picked him up

and exited through his balcony. I used window sunshade to climb down and put him the truck. Hari

looked at me amused when I came with the man on my shoulder. We reached the dungeon and I

asked Hari to chain him in the cell in a faraway cell from the old rogue and bring all his thing to my

office.

I entered my office and waited for Hari to bring his things. He brought his I-phone, purse and a pistol

with silver bullets. He had his phone locked but unlocking it wasn't a big deal for me. But a rogue

having I-phone and the latest model pistol was something interesting. His call history had the names of

many human corporates and politicians. I noted down the frequent calls he had in which a few were

unnamed. When I was about to check the identity of those numbers online, his mobile rang. The screen

displayed 'A'. I quickly opened the tracking app I had designed and entered the number displaying on

the screen. I clicked the answer button and clicked the record button.

"Did you finish the job? Why didn't you call me? I told you to inform me immediately after finishing the

assignment."

I heard a man speak in a gruff voice. I cleared my throat. He already spoke for eight seconds just

twelve more seconds to pinpoint his location.

"Umm... Sir! Actually, I found this phone near the sixth street. It was lying next to my car when I started

to work. I think your employee had missed his mobile. If you want, I could come and give it to your

place. Or kindly inform your employee to collect the mobile from me. Ask him to call his number. I will

give it to him on my way to work."

I spoke lengthily and portrayed myself as a human. I heard him curse under his breath. My laptop had

already pointed out a seven-star hotel named Hotel Emperor.

"If he comes here, I will tell him about it. Please take care of that phone, it has many contacts."

I was surprised by his politeness. I replied with an 'Okay' and hung up.

I knew I learnt several things to use it for good but now I should hack the hotel's database. I entered

into the hotel's website and backtracked the main server. I called Nakul and a few teens who do college

with me. I need to shortlist my suspects. I pulled my mobile to check the scribblings, I got from

Ashwin's home and transferred them to my laptop. The first few were doodles of his family and he had

tried to give a face to his unborn but stricken it out in frustration. The next few had sketches of men and

a few have 'X' over them. One of his sketch contains a replica of the new rogue who was in my

custody. So he was also a part of that attack. Ashwin would feel very happy to tear him apart. My

computer dinged to tell that the hacking of the hotel's server was over. The number I traced was bought

under the name of some human and it was in use for the past three years. I knew they have purchased

the sim with a fake ID. But using it for three years means he feels safe enough to carry out his business

with the same number. I highly suspect the call might be from Lee.

Nakul and the three teens came in after a knock. I copied the data about that hotel in pen drive and

explained the teens to verify the given proofs of the people staying in the hotel currently. It was easy to

identify the humans and then the list would be cut short in no time. They were so eager to help me and

they sat on the sofa in my room to start their work. I pointed out my findings to Nakul. I have gone

through the photos on his mobile which was in hundreds. It may take time but it was worth seeing them

because I might find some clues. I took print outs of the uncrossed sketches from Ashwin and gave it to

the teens to check if anyone's identity was matching with the photo.

I have worked for a detective agency to find the face matching program to check such sketches with

the database. But I need the identities of rogues to do the match run. I have one way. But it was better

to ask the council than to hack their server. They have a good tech team who might find that I had

entered their server within a minute. I was thinking the way to do this face check but I was mind linked

that the rogue was now awake.

I asked the teens to update me when they find anything strange and asked Nakul to come with me.

When I entered the cell, that rogue started thrashing around and yelling profanities at me. I stood there

unfazed and listen to his ramblings.

"You have done a great mistake, bitch. Who the fuck are you? My men might have noticed my absence

now and they would be searching for me now. You dared to touch me. I will make sure to rip you and

your gang members into pieces. How long are you following me? You have the fucking guts to catch

me? My gang members were so sharp and smart. They will find me in no time. Then they will..."

I punched him hard across his jaw. He is talking too much.

"You are at our mercy! So shut the fuck up."

I warned him. But he again started his blabbering.

"You whore! You put your dirty paw on me! I will hang your hand as decoration in my house. You dared

to touch me! You dared to touch, Lee! You fucking bitch. I am going to make your death painfully slow. I

will cut your body into pieces and let my men eat you..."

I froze in my step when he revealed his identity. If he was Lee, the person spoken to me was one of the

top three. Is A mean alpha or the first letter of one? I really hit a jackpot. I was trying to find him in this

month-end meet but he fell on my trap on his own. It was time to handle it cleverly. I mind liked my pack

doctor to come immediately with the necessary thing to the dungeon.

Ashwin! You are going to get your gift soon than I planned.

The doc came and I signalled him to the chained beast. He pulled the big injection but Lee started

thrashing around and his aura was full of fear.

"What the hell are you doing? What was this injection for? If you want an experiment rat, I will give you

hundreds of my men. Leave me. I will give you money. More money. Ahhhh...!"

Nakul held his hand and doc injected the serum when he blabbered in fear.

The in charge of all the rogues didn't know how the 'truth' serum looks like!

The serum would start working within minutes and he will go into dizzy state and spill everything I

needed. When he started slurring, I knew this was my chance to make things straight.

"What is your name?"

Nakul asked him.

"Laxman"

He whispered and I could feel he was trying to avoid speaking as his aura was in despair.

"What is your gang name?"

He was silent and Nakul repeated his question.

"Dark viperrrrss"

He spoke as if he was in pain.

"Who was the one lead the attack happened last year?"

He was trying to keep his mouth shut but the serum was way too powerful especially for werewolves.

"Shyam"

"Who is he? What are your leaders' name and where are they?"

Nakul was getting infuriated every passing second.

"He is second in command of our gang. The leader was Guru. The third one is Karan. Guru stays in..."

He paused and blood was trickling down his mouth with him biting hard to stop himself from exposing

the truth.

"Tell"

Nakul used his authoritative tone. Lee cringed.

"Guru is in Hotel Emperor. Shyam lives in the free land near Black lake pack. Karan was hospitalised

from an accident. He is in CL multi-national hospital near Crimson moon Pack."

He started crying when he said everything. I asked the doc to keep him in dizzy state and now I knew

the places, the hunting starts.

When I returned to my office, the teens informed that the top floor was hired by the same person for the

last three months and the person's details were so vague. I knew the whole floor would have multiple

levels of protection. I called Alphas of Crimson moon and Black lake pack to tell about that I had a

mission and need their permission to pass by and some of their troops to catch some rogues. Alpha-s

repel rogues so they agreed immediately. I told Nakul to take a few of our Pack members to disguise as

police and bomb squad and have a party at Hotel emperor informing the humans the suspicious activity

from the floor and conclude it with arresting them as a suspect. I was going to hunt the important

culprit. I asked Hari to fetch Karan who was hospitalised with the same plan but instead of police, Hari

was going to be a doctor with his scent masked as human.

With everything planned, We are waiting for the right time to strike and the sun was setting easing our

job as the darkness would be perfect for abduction. I was in Black lake pack and the patrols have

located him with the sketch I brought. My team were in a position to execute the plan. We are going to

wipe out the head of a rogue gang who was responsible for twenty per cent crime rate in the human

world. And no one would have a chance to know about this.

When I reached the place, it was a treehouse but huge in size. I used the thermal camera to scan the

place and confirmed he was the only one there but few big watchdogs were roaming below the house.

Also, he had laser protection for his windows and doors. But that idiot had purchased them with remote

controlling facility which made it easier for me to hack it. There were surveillance cameras which I

programmed to display the previous night's recording. The brightness had almost gone and now the : owner of this content.

lights were lit up. I asked the warriors to follow me and went to the backside of the house. The place

near the fence looks a little strange. The grasses weren't like the one outside the fence. I poked it with

a long stick. It fell inside and a two feet gap came visible which had electrical circuits inside to

electrocute anyone falling in. I thought he was living casually in this forest but this bastard had his

security tight.

We shifted to our wolves and jumped inside. The dogs came running with the noise made from our

entry but they instantly submitted to me when I barred my teeth and stood tall radiating my Alpha

power. Smart buddies! I shifted back and pulled a shirt and a short and took my pistol from my bag. I

could absorb his energy but I want to drag him away with his every inch in pain.

We slowly stepped up and barged into his house. He was leisurely applying jam to his bread with a

cigar on his lips. This bastard was the one who killed a pregnant female in my pack. My rage was

increasing and my wolf was in lust to his blood. She wants to tear him into pieces but he was a feast for

my Beta. I controlled my rage and went to him and kicked his jaw which was open ajar at the surprise

intrusion. He recovered from his shock and started fighting back. I asked the warriors to step back and

fought him. He was a tough cookie but not that I have seen before. With three kicks on his head and a

few punches in belly made him fell. When he tried to shift into his wolf, I shot him with a silver bullet to

his thigh which made him weak. The warriors helped me load him in my truck. I thanked Black Lake

Alpha and started my truck and at the same time, I got messages from Nakul and Hari that they have

accomplished their mission successfully.

I dragged him to the dungeon and asked the guards to chain him. Soon Nakul came with the warriors

and they have a few wounds and one seems to be with a big injury. I healed them all with my energy

and congratulated them for their success. Hari came unaffected making us wonder but he explained

how they have let the laughing gas leak all through the floor and shot all the guards with anaesthesia

when they shut the main power and within the time gap the watchman switch on the generator, they

kidnapped him. Karan was on worst shape with his head bundled with a bandage. His system has

silver and it makes his wolf weak from healing. I asked the doc to give him the treatment necessary to

keep him alive until I come back with an important person.

The sun was peaking. My mind was so happy irrespective of my body exhausted from having more

sleepless nights this week. I mind linked all the details to my mate who instantly scolded me for doing

dangerous things without any precaution. He had felt the mild pain when I fought with Shyam but my

mind link was blocked and he assumed that I was training. I asked him to come to our territory to see

the fireworks gonna blast this morning. He wished me all the best and asked me to be careful. I bid him

bye and shut our personal link off.

It's time to meet my Beta!
