THE ALPHA’S DAUGHTER 107_When The Moon Hides Her Crown

Chapter 107 The Promise

 It worked. Our twisted little drama, Ryker’s rage, my possessive jealousy, Finn’s whimpering heartbreak, Asher’s Provocateur. it all served its purpose. The brothel owner took the bait. He chose Seraphina, now veiled and trembling, thinking he’d found the perfect dollboy. So just like that, the spotlight shifted. While all eyes remained on her, we vanished into the shadows. Cut from their view. Out of their reach. Finally inside the Sinspire Brothel. Now Finn, Asher, and I could move, truly move, through this hellhole unseen. The real game began the moment Seraphina was taken. Every second counted, what we were chasing wasn’t just Grace anymore, it was time. That meant we were already losing it.

 Leaving that room behind, we strode in the hallway of the brothel.

 “We are splitting up.” I stated. 

 Asher nodded, already turning to the right side of the hallway. “Three floors each. Nine floors total. If she’s here, we’ll find

 her

 Finn turned to the left saying, “Let’s meet right hereter.”

 Lincreased my speed, my wolf sensing every little noise around me and spotting the brothel’s guard wolves. The brothel did. not disappoint rne and lived up to its reputation. The top brothel of the alley. Every floor had patrol wolves, each hallway lined with twenty rooms. The clientele flowed in and out like predators browsing their prey.

 I moved like smoke, swift and silent, scaling the back staircases, weaving between corridors slick with perfume, sex, and misery. She–wolves lined doorways in silks andce, lips painted red and eyes dead. They called out to passing wolves with sweet promises and vulgar offers. I ignored them all

 Room by room, I searched. Pushing doors open, stepping inside to check the she–wolves only long enough to confirm. Some rooms held nothing but girls indulged in sex with wolves. Others were involved in BDSM, I shut the door fast, bile rising in my throat. Some she–wolves tried to pull me in, thinking I was another customer.

 I got out without looking back.

 The fourth floor. The fifth floor. The sixth.

 Still there was no

 Grace.

 My patience thinned into fury.

 “Where is she?” standing in the middle of the hallway of the fifth floor I nced up and down. I had checked every room.

 “I’m not picking up her scent either,” my wolf added, “Could she be on a floor that Asher and Finn are checking?”

 As I listened to my wolf, my feet paused at another voice.

 Two patrolling wolves passed down a hallway ahead, unaware of my presence. One of them was nursing a bloodied hand. wrapped in cloth, grumbling to the other.

 “That damn she–wolf in the storeroom, refused to eat again. Bit my fucking finger clean off.”

 “Why don’t they just drug her?”

 Tried She spat it out. Lattle freak Too dangerous to sell but too beautiful to keep my hands off Might be kept so separately for the ing deal”

 I stilled. That kind of she–woll

 “Could it be Grace” my wolf said.

 Isiently slipped bnd them memorizing the hallway. As soon as they rounded the corner, I darted forward.

 The sturersum was on the far edge of the building the door old and steel reinforced. I forced it open just enough to slide in, my wall appeared in my eyes to see through the darkoris

 Junide I saw a wutan that sat surled up beneath the red curtain, arms around her knees, breathing heavy and fast

 I took a step closer, too quick in my excitement over finding her but as soon as I ripped off the curtain I froze.

 The woman was indeed beautiful but not Grace.

 The she–wolves eyes widened as she backed up. “Don’t…don’te any closer to me!” she screamed, her mouth bleeding from the bit she gave to the wolf earlier and ws out to attack. “I swear, I will kill you!!*

 I looked her up and down, sensing her fear behind the facade of bravery. She was too young. Barely eighteen.

 1 silently turned to walk away. My mind racing back to Grace.

 She stared at my retreating back, still trembling, as slowly her panic dimmed. Suddenly begged. “Please…save me.

 Her Tearful beggingnded on my ears clean and clear but I continued to the door. This wasn’t part of the n. Finding Grace and getting out of here was the trial. That’s all. Every second mattered and I was running out of time.

 Just as I stepped out of her room her voice trembled, “They’re going to send someone in. A monster tonight. They said I’d learn my ce.”

 I halted.

 She crawled sobbing. “Please, help me. My mate will be looking for me. I want to go back to him. Please…”

 I should’ve kept walking.

 I should’ve closed the door and disappeared to my goal.

 But Seraphina’s sad eyes when she saw those she–wolves on the balcony curled in my heart. This ce is hell‘ when she whispered those words, she lived their nightmares in those seconds. Their fear, their helplessness, and their fate.

 Only she appeared in my mind, draped under that veil, sitting there waiting to be sold and my wolf woke up in my mind sharply and violently.

 I turned around. My wolf snarled low in my chest. It was toote for me to stop and go against the n.

 I walked to the small and grimy window, and kicked it open with a sharp boot. She flinched, crawling back in uncertainty as the cool night air blew in

 “You see that pipe?” I pointed. “Follow it. There’s a balcony three floors down. From there, climb across the side of the building to the East wall. You’ll find an open gap.”

 She stared at me like I was insane, “They…they’re everywhere. They’ll find me…”

 “Not if you’re fast,” I stepped closer. “If you make it down, I promise, somiedue will be waiting.”

 She didn’t move. “Who?”

 I pulled her up to the window, “My Beta.”

 She held her breath, nced at me once before pushing herself up as I helped her to climb the window.

 “Go”

 As soon as she disappeared into the dark. I closed the window and mind–linked Mace, waiting beyond the Sinspire brothel’s building

 Hr mind hoked back imeshately, “Alpha, why are you in this dirty ce? Is this part of the n?”

 “No, a situation came,” I marmured going through the stutt stored in the room. “There’s a girling from the top floor serom She’ll reach the East wall in a couple of minutes Get her out of the alley and take her home, to her mate. Alive.”

 On thending. I met Asher and Finn.

 “She’s not on the lower six. Asher said grimly.

 “Not on seven, eight, or nine either,” Finn added. “Nothing”

 -She is not here either.” I looked out through the open arch at the highest floor’s edge. Below, the hall buzzed with noise. Wolves drank. She–wolves danced and pulled in the rooms. Still there wa

 “Could it be Grace is not here?” Asher murmured, ncing down.

 “But Mark did not seem to be lying to us,” Finn stated seriously.

 no trace of Grace.

 I scorched the skin of my nails subconsciously, thinking deeply, “Grace has to be here.”

 A silence fell between us as Finn stated, “Then it’s time for n B.”

 Ryker and Seraphina were wearing secret listening devices and also listened to him before they both scattered to different directions.

 nced down at the lustful environment down in the main hall of the brothel and put the device that only Seraphina and shared. “You remember your promise, right?”

 Back in the main hall. Seraphina listened to my voice and slowly lifted her eyes to the floor where I stood. Our eyes met as I reminded her of what I had said the moment we stepped into this brothel, “One scratch on your body and I will burn down this entire Alley,”
