<h4>Chapter 608: FALSIFIED INFORMATION</h4>


    XADEN’S POV


    The doors of the moonlight pack were opened, and I waltzed in.


    The air was thick and smelled of soil dampened with rain.


    The environment was quieter and less dark and gloomypared to when I hadste.


    I hadn’t been here since I had taken over.


    Since Bale had been sessfully executed by none other than his own daughter’s hand.


    The pack was cold and scarce.


    As I walked through the pack, I looked at what has now be mine by default.


    I didn’t want to have anything that belonged to Bale.


    But this was a show that I had defeated my lifelong enemy.


    "Alpha Xaden." Greeted Ss.


    Ss was one of my top Betas.


    He was a buff and extremely tall man with wild golden hair and a full beard.


    He had been trained and stayed with me in the crescent pack for almost ten years.


    I had left the moonlight pack in his hands to manage.


    "Ss." I nodded at him.


    All the men and women who were in sight hurriedly bowed to greet me.


    "Rise," I said.


    They slowly got up, and I waved my hand to signify they could go on their way.


    "I didn’t expect you. You didn’t send a message that you wereing." Ss said his face obviously panted with surprise.


    "Is it a crime to see one of my properties?" I asked.


    Ssughed heartily.


    He was my friend.


    He opened his arms and we hugged. "The goddess herself protected you. When I heard you had gone missing, I couldn’t believe it! If you hadn’t put me here, I would have rescued you personally, my lord."


    Iughed at S’smitment, and heughed with me.


    "You’ve always been a good friend, Ss," I said with a smile. "I do hope my visit wouldn’t interrupt your work here."


    "Of course not. I was just surprised, especially since you never wanted toe here again." Ss exined.


    I took in a deep, heavy breath.


    Ss was right. I had said I would never return to the moonlight pack the day I left.


    And yet here I was.


    Standing in thest ce I would ever want to find myself in.


    "It’s good to see you, my friend," Ss said with a smile spread across his face.


    I nodded. "I can say the same.


    I walked, and Ss went side by side with me.


    "I came to find out some things myself," I said. "How is the pack and its members faring?"


    Ss shrugged his shoulders. "It’s been fine. We haven’t met any rebellions. Just once, it seemed the wolves hated Bale and his family. They’ve been quite happy that they are gone."


    I listened to the news even though anxiety and eagerness filled my entire mind.


    I wanted to know about my sister Anna.


    Or as she had been called here, Jessica.


    "Everything is fine," Ss said as we walked up the steps.


    I had wasted no time ining here.


    The very day after I arrived home in the Crescent Pack, I personally traveled to find information.


    Ss led me to the Alpha’s throne room.


    Thest time I was here was when I married Jasmine.


    I winced at the memory of how cruel I had been to her.


    My entire being was suffocated with guilt.


    I sat down on the throne and looked around.


    I felt nothing for this ce.


    I wanted to get out as quickly as I hade.


    "I had requested information about the moonlight pack Alpha Hunter?" I said.


    "Is that why you came here?" Ss blinked at me in disbelief. "All the way? To know about Hunter?"


    Ss nodded with his fingers inteced together. "Yes, and I sent you a response from what I had gathered. You got it, didn’t you?"


    "I did," I said, rubbing the back of my head.


    Ss looked very interested to hear what I had to say.


    "I thought the bastard was dead," Ss stated.


    I gave a slight shrug.


    Didn’t know how to exin that Hunter and his men had just vanished from the face of the earth.


    "Goddess Selene. Xaden." Ss said, looking at me closely. "You want to see how you can find him now, don’t you? That sonofabitch! I’ll be damned if I can’t join you, find him, and tear his fur into pieces."


    I smiled. "Something like that. But I really wanted to exin what Hunter came to do in the pack when Bale was alive."


    Ss looked at me nkly.


    Then he rubbed his face and seemed to think for a split second.


    "Well, I won’t lie to you, I have no idea," Ss said. "Tried my best to get information from them. But nothing."


    I felt my shoulders drop


    "But there were rumors." Ss pointed out after a seemingly deep thought. "Word flew around in the pack that a serving girl called Alice knew more than anyone else about the situation."


    "But I tried to confront her." Ss shrugged. "She didn’te up with anything, so we simply let it go."


    I leaned back into my newly acquired seat as Alpha and thought deeply.


    "And Jasmine having an affair with him? Did she mention anything about that?" I requested.


    Ss looked at me and blinked.


    "What the hell are you talking about?" Ss asked, lost.


    I frowned.


    "In the letter. You told me she had an affair with Hunter." I stated clearly as I pulled out the letter I had gotten from my fur coat.


    Ss looked at me like I was insane. "Xaden, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I never heard of any affair between those two."


    I handed him the letter, and he received it.


    He sized it up and down before shaking his head. "Xaden, this is not the letter I sent to you."


    My entire body froze.


    What the hell was Ss getting at?


    I snatched the letter back and turned it back to me.


    "That’s your seal." I pointed out the paper.


    "Yes, but that is not the letter I had sent to you." He said.
