    Chapter 97: King Of Chaos!


    Lottie POV


    “I mean, your mates are broken.” This fucker tailing me announced, like he knew anything about me


    or my mates. “And I have just left Luna Laura!” My feet slowly stalled until I was no longer walking


    away but stood staring at him, my eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and concern. Wanting to


    ask questions, but Sage’s need to punch him in the face feltpelling, too.


    “You were with Luna?” I asked, deciding violence was ast resort, but I was ready to open a link up


    to my mates to rush to my side and check on her if


    necessary.


    “Yes, but I guess she is just Laura now that her mate is dead. You are Luna! But yeah, she is


    inconsble; I mean, I had to give her something to help her sleep.” The coldness of the way he


    announced Leigh’s death had my back straightening and teeth clenching.


    “You what?” I snapped my eyes wide with disbelief.


    “Yeah, I had to! She was just crazed.. saying things that had me worried for your mate’s safety, if I


    am honest. I was trying to help!” He grinned at me in what I assumed he thought to be an unbiased


    look.


    “Such a shame, considering they were not to me for her mate’s death!” Hel mused, and I


    frowned, letting his words sink in. Spinning, I turned to face the door I had just left, debating going to


    get the alphas, but realistically, I needed them to get that information from Mike and my father


    because the rest of the pack was still at risk from whatever Mike had drugged them with.


    “What did she threaten?” I asked, my eyes harsh but not nearly as harsh as my tone as I stepped


    into him. “Because if anything happens to my mates.. so help

    think that ship has already sailed… and sunk! Don’t you?” Heughed coldly. “But I like your balls..


    they are bigger than most!”


    “I don’t know what game you are ying! But I don’t believe a word of it! LUNA Laura would never


    hurt her boys! She adores them!


    “Until one of them killed her mate!” He winked, and I found myself letting out a big sigh that had my


    chest heavy with exhaustion.


    “You just said Havoc didn’t kill Alpha Leigh!” Shaking my head, I tried to process this twats mind


    games.


    “He didn’t.. but I wasn’t about to tell Lauras that was I.” He shrugged with a wicked grin.


    “Why wouldn’t you tell her? You just told me she was inconsble! Do you not think that would help


    her in her grief just a fucking little bit!” I asked, slowly and calmly, showing no signs of the anger


    rippling me apart.


    “Of course I do… but what good does THAT do me! It’s not my grief, and what happens to your


    mates is not my concern..”


    “Fiine, I will bite… What is your concern?” I asked through gritted teeth.


    “That.. is my business. For now!”


    “You know what, stay away from my family!” I snapped and turned back in the direction of the


    stairs.


    “Very well, I won’t say anything more on the matter. But what if I could offer to bring him back for


    you?”

    Puntil


    “Who? Havoc. No, thank you. He needs to stay locked my we can work out…” I started to exin


    before pausing and thinking better of it. This man was a creep, yes, but he clearly had information,


    and I would be damned if I gave him any more.


    “I mean Alpha Leigh!” Heughed, cutting me off as he closed the gap between

    us, the air charged with static.


    “And I won’t charge you half as much as the Moon goddess will.” He leaned to whisper in my ear.


    Sending my mind spinning at the knowledge he knew about her and her offer. I hadn’t said a word


    to anyone.


    “What was it she asked for… a sacrifice.. a life for a life, so to speak. And that would be three lives


    she has granted you.”


    “Three!” I asked in astonishment; I had asked for two.


    “It was she you prayed to earlier for Kane, correct? Back in the ballroom! Alpha Sebastian is


    upstairs healing as we speak, and I believe she has offered to bring Alpha Leigh back, right? I am


    sure your mates would be grateful until they realised what it would cost them!” He grinned, a chill


    crawling up my spine, making goose pimples explode across my arms. Selene had said I had saved


    Kane, so it seemed he might be a little out of the loop after all!


    “And how would you bring back Alpha Leigh?” I asked with a shake of my head, unable to believe I


    was even having this conversation. But believe I did when his eyes shed with the vibrant red I


    had seen earlier when looking into Havoc’s eyes.


    “Perk of the job.” He nodded, holding his hand out to me. “My name is Astaroth.


    I am a Duke of hell and King of Chaos.” He smiled warmly as if he hadn’t just dropped a bloody


    bomb on me.


    “You are a..”


    “Demon? Yes.. So you see, sweetheart, I have the power to bring back good old daddy Leigh for


    you. And it will only cost you one small thing!”


    “Which is?” I asked, curious but not at all tempted. I trusted the Moon Goddess; she had been


    upfront with me, and I knew the risks. This freak had yed games with me from the second his


    eyes had fallen on me.


    “A tiny piece of your heart.” He admitted with open arms as if he had asked for something simple


    like a ss of water. What he asked, though, was no little request. and one that he would find


    denied. Because he clearly had underestimated me and

    my bond with the boys! That would be his mistake, not mine!


    “For a tiny piece of my heart, you will return Alpha Leigh and tell me who killed. him?” I asked with a


    sweet smile, trying to keep my tone level and hide the wrath I felt brewing in my stomach at his


    audacity.


    “Yes! And I am happy to seal that deal with you now, in a kiss, of course, as is custom for making a


    deal with a demon. And when you go upstairs, you will find your Alpha alive and everything back to


    normal.” He shrugged like we were talking aboutst night’s dinner.


    Chewing my lip, I heard Selene’s final words echo through my head, ‘It is better


    than the alternative!‘


    Leaning into him, my hand pressed onto his cold chest, I hovered my lips close, my eyes meeting


    his; I watched the red glow shine with excitement.


    “No deal!” I barked, the smile falling from his lips and granting me satisfaction.


    “Now get the fuck out of my packhouse!” I snarled, my eyes glistening with such a vibrancy I could


    see Sage’s purple hues mirrored in his dulling eyes. I was never so proud of Sage as I was at that


    moment.


    “As you wish, but you will agree.. one way or another, I always get what I want!” He smiled at me,


    vanishing before my eyes.
