Alpha's Rejected becomes the Lycan's Obsession-Chapter 53: Help you find her

Williams left Monero as soon as Edwin promised to find him what he wanted. He drove back to Luminera, his pack, where Cornelius had claimed he belonged. A small smile tugged at his lips when he recalled their little banter. As much as Monero was home, Luminera was home as well. There was no separating him from either place.

The smile soon faded from his face when he reached the border of Luminera, only to find his beta and warriors there, their stance one of high alertness. His car soon pulled up before them, and he stepped out.

"Alpha," they all greeted, lowering their heads.

"What’s wrong?" he questioned, fixing his eyes on Vanessa, his beta.

"It’s Alpha Jorell. He is in the palace as we speak. We tried to question him, but he asked us to stay away since he wasn’t in our territory," Vanessa quickly reported the current situation, her face set to a hard line.

"Wait here," Williams said, climbing back into his car and driving toward the palace.

Truly, the palace was not in Luminera’s territory, but Luminera was closest in proximity to the palace. The palace used to be Roman’s home before he abandoned the place and decided to settle in a human city decades ago. He couldn’t fathom why Jorell would be there, knowing he was one of the people that wanted nothing more than to eliminate Roman from the face of the earth.

Jorell stood before the elegantly designed throne, admiring the exquisite seat with all the adoration in the world.

But his features switched back to normal when he heard someone walking in behind him. Turning around, he found Williams, who had stopped walking a few meters away from him.

"Williams," Jorell called out, flashing a small smile that didn’t reach his eyes. "You’re here."

"What are you doing here, Jorell?" Williams threw the question, his expression clearly showing he wasn’t there to exchange pleasantries.

"Is there any law that forbids me from being here?" Jorell shot at him, switching from his fake pleasant demeanor into his cold self. But his attitude didn’t even scratch Williams slightly.

"This is the royal palace, home to the king. You should not be here when you have no reason to be, especially in the absence of the king," Williams pointed out.

A laugh erupted from Jorell. "What king? We have no king, Williams. The earlier you get that into your head, the better. I know you believe in Roman, but it’s just a matter of time before I take him out and claim this beauty." Jorell gestured with his hands at the entire palace. "All this will soon be mine, so you better pick your sides carefully. I will not forgive traitors when I become king."

Williams gave no reaction. "What gives you the assurance that you can take out Roman and become king?"

"The moon goddess, of course," Jorell answered with pride. "What other entity can give such assurance? Haven’t you heard the prophecy?"

"What prophecy?" Williams probed, curious and also wanting to get information out of the guy.

"The prophecy that said Jorell, the son of Alexander, would be blessed with a mate from the goddess herself, who will give him the ability to defeat his greatest foe and rule over all," Jorell recited the prophecy with so much excitement in his tone.

Williams wondered if all the excitement was simply because of a prophecy, but the guy soon proved him wrong, answering his unspoken question.

"You can’t tell me you haven’t heard of the prophecy. And to prove that the prophecy is real, I have seen her with my very own eyes. However, I lost her due to my ignorance and negligence," he added, his last words spoken in a solemn voice filled with regret. "But I’m fortunate to receive a second chance from the moon goddess. My mate shall return to me."

"I thought you already have a Luna. How come you’re talking about another mate?" Williams probed further.

"You think Lisa is my mate? Lisa is just a means to an end—a way to secure my position as Alpha of Bolarish Pack."

Williams remained quiet, and just as he suspected, the guy started to speak again.

"Listen, Williams, I know you are close to Roman. But his end is near. So I’m advising you to pick a better side—my side. We would do wonders if we fight together. And when we win, I’ll ensure you remain as Alpha of Luminera and allocate more wealth to your pack."

Williams wanted to laugh. Luminera was already the wealthiest and strongest pack, even with their many challenges. He would have pointed that fact out to the guy, but he wanted something different.

"How do I know you aren’t just bluffing to get me to join you? I don’t engage in fights I’m not absolutely certain I’ll win. If I must join you, then I need something more than a prophecy to believe you can eliminate Roman."

Jorell let out an evil laugh, walking down the raised platform to stand beside Williams.

"Listen, Williams, I don’t bluff. The moon goddess indeed did promise and delivered. I made a mistake and lost my mate. But I made sure she would be reincarnated. And now I know she’s back. I just need to find her and mark her. That’s all I need to get the power to vanquish Roman from the face of the earth," Jorell spoke with all the seriousness in the world.

"This promised mate of yours—what does she look like?" Williams threw a question that got Jorell shooting him a suspicious look. "I only asked so that I can help you find her or inform you if I see someone that looks like her," Williams clarified.

"I will find her myself. I don’t need your help with that. All I need is your support. Help me with every bit of information you can about how to bring Roman down so that my work will be easier. That would be more than enough help."
