NovelEnglish98. Cobra's Tail
ALPHA RAIDEN
cE
After what seemed like a split second but most definitely not, | arrived in front of the one place | knew Nolan and
his wife would be hiding... the one place no one else would think to check. The Wellington's mansion.
Nolan's home.
The idea could sound silly to anyone and perhaps that was why | didn't inform my men about my suspicions, not
even when | forcefully kicked down the front door. After Larisa played me, | was certain Nolan would try to as well
but unfortunately for him, | was prepared. Alone, yes but still prepared to face whatever was thrown at me.
On clue, Lex sniffed the house as | stepped inside and he instantly announced, "They are here. | knew it!"
They must takefor a fool...
"At least this one tyou aren't stupid." Lex mocked despite the seriousness of the moment.
For goddess's sake, | could be walking into a trap that would kill me.
Lex scoffed, "Like Nolan could kill you. That would be an insult."
"Well quit chitchatting, we've got to find them," | said firmly.

But Lex growled as | took another step, "I already found them. Nolan is hiding behind that pillar and he's
probably holding a weapon and Helne is somewhere upstairs, guarded by three men." Lex didn't hesitate to give
area.
And boldly, I called out without hiding my anger, "Reveal and surrender yourselves or you'll have yourselves to
blame."
Nolan's voice was shaky as he responded, fear radiating off him, "W-we did n-nothing wrong, A-alpha. Wh-why
should we be detained or treated like criminals."
"Because your daughter is a criminal," | answered with a deep growl. "Or have you not heard that she killed my
father and left his corpse to rot? Or how about how she locked my mother up? My parents did nothing wrong and
they were locked up so why shouldn't you and your wife suffer the sfate? It's not like | didn't capture your
personal warriors on the crscene."
Whatever Nolan could have to say, | didn't care. He was dying and his wife would too. | wouldn't spare either of
them.
"My daughter wouldn't do that. She's a sweet-"
"A pretender is what she is!" | snapped, throwing myself in front of the pillar Nolan had chosen as his hiding
place.
Nolan swung the metal rod he was holding, aiming to attackbut the only thing he achieved was fueling my
anger. | let out a growl as | dodged, twisting the rod out of his hand.
"Aahh..." Nolan screamed as | popped out his wrist.
"How dare you think of attacking me?" | gritted, adding pressure on his broken wrist. "Pl-please-" Nolan started.
Whether he was trying to plead for forgiveness or mercy, | didn't want to hear him out. With one precise move, |
cut his airflow, knocking him out. | used one of the curtains in the living room to tie Nolan to the pillar before
moving to the second floor.
"Don't makesweat, Helen. Surrender yourself and tellwhere to find your daughter." | called out as soon
as | perceived Helen's scent.
| stood before the door, giving her a chance to surrender but she chose the hard way when she ordered the men
with her, "Make sure he doesn't cin here. Protectat all cost." The disrespect!
| didn't hesitate to break bones as | subdued the three men with her and that was when Helen began to beg for
her life. | scoffed, "You should have done that before you madesweat."
One jab to her neck and she went
limp. | carefully took her and the three men downstairs, binding them togetherwhile restraining myself from
killing them instantly. | took a sit before their unconscious body and opened my mind to connect with Andrew's
and Jake's.
"Get your asses to the Wellington's mansion." | cut the link off, leaving no room for questions even though I could
feel them lingering.
While waiting for my men's arrival, Lex and | began to discuss what had been on my mind since | heard about
the prison break. | chimed to my wolf, "Who could the snitch be?" "Someone powerful and trusted. I'm sure." Lex
answered but even he couldn't point out one person. "Andrew is the only one who isn't a suspect because he
was with us when it happened." "I'd never suspect Andrew. we go way back, Lex." | informed my wolf.

Lex countered, "After the disgraceful betrayal Larisa slapped us with, no one can be trusted. Keep your eyes
open this time."
I couldn't believe Lex but that wasn't
all. I mean, | couldn't believe that for
a minute, | tried to suspect Andrew.
"I'll find the snitch after these traitors are punished," | said to my Wolf and
I sat in silence afterward.
After five minutes, my men made it to Nolan's mansion and shock was evident on their faces. Andrew was quick
to pop a question while Jake and the other men grabbed the unconscious bodies. "They were here all this time?"
Andrew gasped.
"Yes, Drew and | think we have a snitch among us." | let out my thoughts after the other men stepped out and
Andrew gasped again.
"Are you saying someone let them out? Someone is working with Larisa?"
I nodded, "Yes and | need you to find him."
Or maybe it's a woman...
"I will, Alpha," Andrew promised but | was about to regret my decision to let Andrew in on my suspicions.
However, that feeling of regret didn't sink in until the next day which | deem to call Wellington's Public Execution
Day. It was tto smoke Larisa out or at least let her know that she had stepped on a deadly cobra's tail.
