“He is. He’s a stubborn son of a b***h. That’s for sure.” I pushed past him and walked into the cell. Marvin was strung up like a puppet. He was covered in lacerations on his back, stomach, and legs. No doubt that this was Keaton’s doing with that whip he loved to use so much. He was missing an eye and all of his fingernails. I knew immediately that had to be Maddox’s doing. Why did werewolves have to be so f*****g gruesome?
We have no place to say anything, Rylee.
Kaleigh, what are you doing talking about?
You were about to burn the survivors alive in a ring of fire. I think that’s pretty gruesome, don’t you?
Kaleigh retreated into the back of my mind. I hated that she had a point. I was actually going to burn people alive. I twitched my nose in annoyance and then shook it off.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the all-powerful Primordial,” Marvin muttered while coughing up blood.
“See, I told you he was coherent,” Wyatt chided me. I smacked his chest with the back of my hand which was a total mistake. I now had blood and guts all over it. “Yuck!” I gagged and wiped the back of my hand on my pants. I was going to have to burn these when I was done.
“Come to gloat?” Marvin muttered again.
“I came to get some answers. Answers that only you can give.”
“And what makes you think that I’ll answer?”
“I don’t need to get them from you, Marvin. There is another conscience within you that I’m sure will be willing to provide me some answers,” I replied.
“Wha-” I shut him up and brought forth his wolf’s consciousness by force. His eyes were black, and he was pissed.
“How did you …” his wolf growled, but I used my powers to strangle him. He struggled to breathe for a few seconds before I released him.
“I will be asking the questions. Normally, I would ask your name, but as of right now, I don’t give a f**k what your name is.”
“Impudent little pup!” he snarled, and I suffocated him again.
“What part of ‘I will be asking the questions did you not understand? Are you as stupid as your human counterpart? Or are you deaf?” I growled back. “I’m more powerful than you, and I have no issues with allowing my mate and our men to continue with your ******e. Your pathetic life is now in the palm of my hands. If you want to live, then I suggest you shut up and listen. Do I make myself clear?” He nodded his head. “Good.” I released him again. “Let’s start with an easy question. Is Marvin the head of the trafficking group?”
“Yes.”
“Were you a willing participant in his masquerade?”
“Of course. I am his wolf. I will always choose his side.”
“Damn, you’re just as f****d up as he is,” Wyatt retorted from behind me. I shot him a glare. He put his hands up and backed away.
“Why would Marvin traffic his own kind?” I went on.
“Money. Why else?”
“What made him live this kind of life?”
“Our mate.”
“What?”
“Our mate is the reason he started this kind of life. She was human and needed a kidney transplant. You humans call it ‘end-stage renal failure. Unfortunately, Marvin was not a match, so he could not give up his.”
“Why didn’t you have your pack members try?” Wyatt asked.
“Marvin did not trust that they would be willing to give up an organ for a human.”
“But she was their Luna,” I replied.
“No, she was not.” Wyatt and I looked at each other and then back at Marvin’s wolf. “Marvin had a chosen Luna. He did not want a human as a mate, but he did not reject her either. I would not allow him to. Her blood type was rare, so rare in fact that only one in six million people have it.”
“I don’t understand, what did this human mate of yours have anything to do with why you and your human counterpart started to traffic your own kind!?” I exclaimed.
“Organ trafficking,” Wyatt whispered. I turned to look at him and then back at Marvin’s wolf. All he did was nod.
“We found a perfect match, and Marvin had her kidnapped. He had Opal, the dark witch, conduct the transplant using dark magic. The human we kidnapped didn’t end up surviving, but our mate did. In order to supplement the cost of trafficking the organ, Opal suggested harvesting the rest and selling them on the black market.”
“And when that wasn’t enough, you started to traffic our kind?” I asked him.
“Not initially. We started with humans. High-risk humans. Runaways, prostitutes, and drug addicts. People that wouldn’t be missed. Then we moved onto the supernatural. First, we did small game. Rogues. But then, Marvin found a buyer who wanted a special kind of wolf.” “A jade wolf?” I asked.
“No. A more powerful wolf. A wolf born from the goddess herself.” I gasped and Wyatt growled. “It wasn’t an impossible task, but it was difficult. It took years, but Marvin was finally able to find the location of the Lunar Kingdom. The place where all of the gods and goddesses of all supernatural reside.”
“How?” I asked.
“Research, child. Research. We put together an army of wolf hunters, dark wizards and witches, and rogue wolves who wanted to retaliate against our mother.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Wolves willingly betrayed the moon goddess and helped in kidnapping her own children. All for some sick psychopath who wanted to pay money for them.
“How were you able to escape with the souls of Lexie and Lanie!?” Wyatt asked.
“I didn’t. Or should I say, we didn’t. We enlisted the help of another Alpha. As you probably already figured out, I am not a true Alpha. I killed our previous Alpha and took his throne.” Wyatt and I scoffed that Marvin’s wolf would easily just give up all of this information. This was the second time I’ve seen a wolf betray their human. “We knew that once the souls of someone who leaves the kingdom needed to be reborn into a mortal body. And for Project Gemini to be reborn, we needed both a true Alpha male and female. Opal handled the rest.” I knew that this meant the Alpha that had helped kidnap Lexie and Lanie would be the one who violated my mother for her to conceive the twins. I still didn’t understand how this s**t worked, but I knew I was about to get the answer that I needed.
“Who was the Alpha female?” I asked.
“A pureblood. She was hand-chosen by the Alpha male who assisted us.”
