Protect My Family
Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Seven - Protect My Family.
Jaden's POV
"Well, recently there was a ship from Sun Burn Kingdom that dropped a young prince here," the girl said.
Sun Burn Kingdom? Young prince?
"He'd been to the market many times and didn't trouble anyone. But they think he's guilty since the disappearances only started when he came."
A prince from Sun Burn Kingdom? Liam would surely know about the man, except I didn't know how to find Liam.
"Thank you." I took out some money and handed it to her. "Do you have pain-relieving drugs?"
She ran inside the stall to get them. I glanced around the market; the emptiness was becoming more noticeable.
What would this prince want with market sellers and my Beta? That's if it was this prince doing this. I had reasons to believe it was Logan.
No Sun Burn prince would openly declare war against us with this nonsense! And traveling past the seven seas just to kidnap people? Stupid.
The small lady came back, holding up two bottles. She stared at one carefully before handing it to me. "It's more efficient, though bitter."
I didn't mind. "Thank you. And be careful, you and your father, so that you won't be taken as well, okay?"
She looked down, nodding. "Thank you for the kind thoughts. I appreciate it."
When the transaction was done, I briskly walked away. Now I had a new mission- finding this Sun Burn prince.
I didn't suspect him, but he'd know something, hopefully. I began returning to my pack so I could alert the rest.
My energy needed to be conserved, so I wouldn't be actively participating in this mission.
I had reached the middle of the forest, half a mile from my pack, when I noticed I was being followed.
"It's a rogue. See? I knew you'd meet someone," my wolf taunted.
I wasn't in a very shitty mood now, but I could easily take on the rogue. It was only one, anyway.
"I doubt this rogue wants to attack. He should know he doesn't stand a chance." I turned to the energy.
The person ran from the shrubs to hide behind a tree. His energy wasn't even in warrior rank.
"What do you want? I know you're there, so come out!" I yelled, keeping my hands on my waist.
He tried to run to another hiding spot but tripped, exposing himself. He was a young boy.
"You're a rogue. What are you doing around here all by yourself?" I asked the lad.
He grunted, getting up. "I actually came here to kill you, but I don't think I can go along with it."
That was hilarious. "Believe in yourself, though. You might be able to hurt me."
He scoffed, standing with his hands akimbo. "There's trouble in the land. I bet you are aware."
Of course, I was. "Who are you to tell me? You're a rogue. You should easily skip packs..."
"Even if I travel to another kingdom, Logan's plan to exterminate all werewolves will get to me."
I hissed. "So rogues want to join forces with packs to invalidate him?"
"I'm not so interested in joining forces since I am all alone, and Logan made sure all my family members were killed by Chris," he sighed.
His family was killed by Chris? Then they were the rogue family that attacked my mate. Chris had wiped them all out.
"Hmm, then you're the Mi Destino that Rihanna saved, aren't you? She said she'd kill you for hurting her Beta," I told him.
He shook his head. "If she sees me..."
"I could send her to you. But I'm not in the mood." I turned away. "Get out of my forest before my warriors get you..."
"You are looking for your Beta, aren't you?" he interrupted.
My fists clenched, and I turned back to the boy. "It must be news that he's missing. Don't joke with me about it."
"Well, right now, I'm not in the mood for jokes either. Liam said you'd understand, but
I doubt you would. He needs help too."
On hearing Liam, I got anxious. "Where is he? What do you mean he needs help?"
"He got injured while having a showdown with my father's uncle, Logan. I think you're aware," Mi Destino raised a brow.
His father's uncle was Logan? How was Logan having more family members?
"Liam didn't tell me he had a showdown with Logan," I frowned.
Was it hitting Logan down that day? It didn't take a toll on him the next day when I saw him.noveldrama
He didn't look like he was suffering. Maybe it happened afterward? "Where is he, then?"
"I don't know if I can trust you. Liam seems cool with you, but I'm not. You killed my father!" the boy barked.
What gave him the guts! I sped to him, holding him by the neck. He wasn't expecting the attack.

"I killed your father and can kill you now. Don't play with me," I seethed.
He struggled, pulling my hands away. "I'd rather die than expose my cousin's address.
If you kill me, you'd never know about your Beta."
How dare he threaten me? I tightened my grip around his neck. I didn't need him.
"How about if you don't tell me where Liam is, I'll kill you, and you'll die useless with no effect on the world?" I smirked.
He was running out of breath but wasn't conceding. "I would've been dead since. I don't mind as long as I protect my last family."
He was tiring.
A figure sped past me, wrapping a snake around my arm that held Mi Destino. I
dropped the boy, pulling the snake from my arm before it bit me.
"Don't kill him, that's my younger brother!" It was Liam who screamed.
I didn't stomp on the snake and swerved my head to him. "A snake is your younger brother?"
He cleared his throat. "Got a problem? As long as it's a living thing, we're family," he mused poetically, walking to Mi Destino. "I meant this guy, though."
So they were really related? All this was making my head spin. I brushed it off and focused on the matter at hand.
"There's a young prince people suspect is kidnapping people. My Beta was taken as well."
Liam stood still, gazing at me. "Kidnapping people? Why'd the prince kidnap people?"
"I don't know. But do you know him?" I asked.
Liam folded his arms. "I am him! And why'd I kidnap sellers and a Black Rose Beta?!"
What do you think?
