Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 230 "And what becof his anger?" Monroe presses, her voice. sharp.

Bianca hesitates, glancing nervously at Rhett. When he bares his teeth in a silent snarl, her shoulders tremble, but she continues. "He. he went to the council, demanding his father hand over the pack. When that didn't work, he started talking to people-making connections. That's when he met King Alaric." Monroe leans forward slightly. "And what was the nature of Rhett's dealings with King Alaric?" Bianca wrings her hands, her voice barely above a whisper. "Rhett agreed to. to smuggle humans for him. For the blood trade." Monroe's expression hardens. "Explain the details of this arrangement. How did the smuggling work?" Bianca flinches. “Rhett used the pack's transport trucks to move the humans and kidnapped werewolves. They were hidden in unmarked containers. The shipments were taken to the docks and loaded onto Alaric's ships or trucked to wherever the shipments needed to go." "And who else was involved in this operation?” Monroe asks, her voice cutting like a blade.

Bianca hesitates, her gaze darting to Clyde. "Councilman Clyde. He. he made sure the council didn't interfere. He kept 0.00% Chapter 230 Rhett informed about any investigations or raids.” 248 Vounters All eyes turn to Clyde, whose face has gone ashen. He stammers, "That's a lie! How do we know the King hasn't planted these lies in her head and commanded her to believe this is her truth?" Magnus slams his gavel down. "Councilman Clyde, you will remain silent unless called upon. Continue, Bianca." Bianca nods, her voice trembling. “Clyde also helped arrange the permits for the trucks and shipments, making it look like everything was legitimate, but when his father found out he told Rhett to cut the deals with Alaric and refused to ever hand his title down." "How did Rhett take that news?" Monroe asks in return.

"He killed his father and made it look like an accident." Monroe nods slowly.

"You lying bitch!" Rhett suddenly roars, cutting Bianca off mid-sentence. He lunges forward, but the guards are quick to restrain him, forcing him back into his seat.

Magnus slams his hand down on the table, his aura flaring out in warning. "Enough! You will remain silent unless spoken to." Rhett snarls, but he doesn't dare defy Magnus further. Instead, he turns his glare back on Bianca, his hatred palpable. "You think this will save you? You're as good as dead.” "So once Rhett took over the pack, he continued to work with King Alaric of Nocturna?" Bianca visibly trembles, but to her credit, she keeps going. She knows that if she stops now, her Chapter 230 deal is off the table.

"Yes, until Alpha Jefferson got involved." 288 Vouchers "How so?" Monroe asks and I feel Aubrey tense beside me.

"Alpha Jefferson started getting fines, and he started investigating himself into Rhett's father's death. They were business partners and friends. He learned the documents were forged and took over the docks, refusing to allow King Alaric's ships to dock. Which in turn caused the alliances in place to fall apart." Elder Monroe leans back, her eyes narrowing. “And what did you gain from this arrangement, Bianca? Why did you stay involved?" Bianca's hands grip the podium tighter, her knuckles white. "Rhett promised me. he promisedthat once he becAlpha and took control of the council, I would be his Luna. He said we would get a spot on the council. That we would reshape the packs-strengthen them." "What would Alaric get out of this?" Monroe asks.

"He wanted to take over the council, he wants to enslave the packs, and the human population. He doesn't believe the King should be in control, that humans are beneath him, and hates how the council works with the human governments." "Does Rhett share these beliefs?" "In part, yes, but I believe he mainly wanted a seat on the council and the money Alaric paid him for trafficking Chapter 230 deal is off the table.

Bianca's lips tremble. "No, I never trusted Alaric, I always believed that part of Rhett's plan was misled. But I supported him becoming Alpha and he said this was the only way he would remain leading his pack that a war was coming, and this was the only way to ensure the pack's safety. I believed him. But then." She glances at Rhett, who glares daggers at her. "Then I realized he didn't care about me. He just wanted power. I was just. convenient."
