Chapter 73. See Through
Gideon walked into the interrogation room and understood at once why they called it a VIP room. It
wasn’t a dirty cer like the other cells he had been inside in the past 24 hours. This room had white
matte ss walls and ceilings and even floors with a mounted desk and chairs in the middle. He knew at
once that this was a ce she built. Everything around him
screamed her name. And he cringed seeing the redhead fox in that space.
It was as if she was insulting everything that Riannon touched with her mere presence.
But the moment she looked in his direction, he felt a wave of… something.
Gideon took a deep breath and he could swear that her lips curled a bit.
“Your majesty,” she mumbled in the sweetest tone, tilting her head so that one of her shoulders was bare
to his sight as the oversized hood she was given at the hospital fell off it.
“Luna Roxanne, so we meet again,” he said indifferently as he took a seat in front of her. (This novel will

“I don’t think people should call me Luna anymore since I am in this ce,” she sighed and stretched her
cuffed hands to touch his palm that was resting on the desk. He did not jerk that hand back and she
quickly squeezed his fingers with hers. “Please, tell me what is going
on! No one is telling me anything.”
He wasn’t looking at her when he heard the sound of tears falling on the surface of the desk and he felt
another wave of… that odd something. He couldn’t quite decipher it but he had an urge to look at the girl
who sat opposite of him.
Roxy was crying, all her face already wet. “Please,” she squeaked helplessly. “I’ll see what I can do…”
Gideon said in a hoarse voice and squeezed her hand back.
“Really, my king?” She fluttered hershes, blinking away tears and one of themnded on his skin. It
was calling him to do something and he bent a bit closer to her.
“Of course,” he said, “You and your baby will be safe.” She smiled at him, “You are so kind, your majesty.
How can I ever repay you?” She leaned forward too, her fingers running up his arm as their lips almost
touched.
“You can start by telling me where your damn fox lover would take my mate,” he gritted his teeth and
then pushed her away. The look of astonishment was evident on her face as she
stared at him.
“Wh-what?” the girl mumbled. “Why…” aware of who you are. Or maybe because I am a freaking
LYCAN KING!”
He let out a mighty growl, making the girl fall off her chair and crawl to the furthest corner away from him.
She was visibly shaking and he knew that he had achieved the desired effect.
“Did you ever think why he never sent you to seduce a Lycan? Let alone me?” Gideon smirked. “Why
waste your time on some Alpha when you could have already been in the Lycan kingdom, ruining it from
the inside?”
He circled the desk and looked down on her from where he stood with his hands folded on his chest.
“That’s because lycans, and especially royal lycans, have the strongest metal shields. A cross-breed
siren wouldn’t be able to affect us.”
She stared at him but not a word about who she really was left her mouth. Not that he
needed any confirmation.
“I don’t know what you are talking about, my king,” she sniffed pitifully, and he rolled his
eyes.
“I don’t care about that,” he shrugged. “Just tell me where would your king take my mate?”

Her head snapped at him and her lips twitched slightly, but she quickly went back into her ignorant mode.
“You are my king,” she said weakly and started sobbing again, “I don’t know what you are talking about!
Please, let me out!”
He was right next to her in one moment, yanking her back to her feet and lifting his hand
with prolonged ws to rip her neck.
“What the f*ck?!” the door opened and Brayden growled loudly, storming in. “You don’t have the right to
even touch my Luna!”
“Is she even your Luna? Did you acknowledge her? Did you mark her?” Gideon snarled angrily. “And
even if you did, you can’t stop me from snapping her neck if she doesn’t start talking!”
“But The Alpha Council can!” Bray stepped forward with clenched fists. “I just summoned a new Alpha
Summit! They all know what happened and that you hold my Luna hostage.”
“I don’t care about your Luna!” Gideon let the girl go and was head to head with the werewolf in less than
a second. “All need is information! Get it for me and the two of you are
free to go!”
“You have one hour!” the lycan king grunted and left, mming the door behind his back.
He took a deep breath. The room was soundproof and he couldn’t hear what the couple was talking
about. So, he didn’t waste any time and opened the very next door, walking into the
observation room.
His queen was indeed wise because that wasn’t just a fortified matte ss in there. One
wall was a hidden window and at every angle behind that ss, cameras were installed so that it was
easy to observe every move inside of the interrogation room on big screens inside the observation one.
The first thing that he would do when all this was over, was build a room just like that in his pce.
Then again, who was he kidding? The first thing he would do would be take his mate over and over, and
over again.
“You did well,” Ash praised his acting and he frowned. This wasn’t what he wanted to be doing. This
wasn’t how he was used to handling things. But since it was Riannon who was in danger and this little
annoying redhead hybrid was the only one who could help him find her, he was willing to try and do
anything. He wasn’t above even humiliating himself for her sake.
SO
There were other ways to get information out of her, but she was pregnant. And it seemed too cruel to
interrogate her properly in that state.
He looked at Riannon’s Beta standing in the corner and eyeing Roxanne behind the ss. She was
surprisingly calm with her arms folded on her chest. As if she didn’tmit a grave mistake that cost her
an Alpha.
But now wasn’t the time to think about her and he turned to see the show.
“Are you okay?” Brayden was still standing where he left him a few seconds ago.
“Bray!” Roxanne started crying again as she threw herself in his arms, tucking her head in his neck. She
was smearing her tears all over his skin and Gideon knew that it was a trick. From the quick research on
sirens’ abilities he did with Ria, they found out that sirens were seducing creatures not only with their
sweet voices and good looks. The females were
secreting pheromones that could drive almost any male crazy with lust very quickly. No
wonder that i***t Brayden thought she was his mate. It was unusual to want someone that much when
you were already mated. But those tears of hers were especially dangerous. They were the
concentration of those pheromones and her own DNA. Every time it was touching a male, that liquid was
marking them. Temporary, but it was a bond of sorts and it was easier to make them like her. The mating
was sealing the deal. But all that was wearing off, so she
“I was so scared!” she whined, “First, I was kidnapped together with Harper! I was so scared! Then, I was
attacked by Maya for outing her earlier! She wanted to kill me, Bray! And now this! The lycan king thinks
that I know something! Thanks to the Moon Goddess that you
are here!”
“Of course,” Brayden kissed the top of her head, stroking her hair. “Don’t worry anymore.
You are safe now. You are with me. Just tell me everything that you know and we will walk out of here. I
promise.”
She distanced herself and looked wearily at him, “But I don’t know anything.”
“You need to give us something,” he insisted calmly while he sat on the top of the desk and pulled her
closer. “They think you are a traitor. They will not let you out if you don’t provide any valuable
information.”
“But wouldn’t it be proof of me actually being a traitor if I did?” Roxanne pped her long
“Of course not,” he brushed his hand over her cheek. “Just tell us where they kept you. (This novel will
be daily updtaed at .noveljar)Remember, you were telling me that something is happening to
your wolf and it’s getting stronger. That you can memorise things easily and it will help you to be a better
Luna. Now is
the time to use all that. I am sure you can find the ce where they held you and Harper. If we find her,
we will be able to leave and get married. And our baby will be safe.”
He ced his hand on her t tummy that wasn’t even visible yet. “Bray, I don’t remember a thing!” Roxy
lied and he sighed.
“It’s for our baby, my love,” he said gently. “Give them something priceless. Tell us the location and we
will leave today. You will live like a queen.”
“But Harper told them about your ounts,” the girl sniffed. “Bray, did you even check
them?”
“I did and I have already sorted this. Do not worry. My Luna will ask for nothing, you will have everything.
And our son will be the next Alpha.” He coaxed her, but Gideon could tell that it wasn’t working.
“I am sorry,” Roxanne lowered her head. “I already told Ash everything I knew. I don’t remember anything
else. But I am sure that my strong Alpha will save me anyway. Right, Brayden? You will not leave me and
your baby alone?”
She looked at him pleadingly and he took her hands off her and walked a few steps away.
“Bray,” She mumbled, “what is going on?” “Shift,” he ordered her in a cold voice, making her lips part in
shock.
“Bray!” her tone was begging for mercy as she stared at him helplessly. “What are you saying? Why?”
“I want to see your super special wolf. That’s all,” a smirk appeared on his face and Gideon watched
curiously. This wasn’t a part of their n. But then again – their n just failed. She did not fall for it. So,
they would have to try something else.
Maybe that Alpha wasn’t that useless after all?
“Shift,” the stone-cold voice made the little fox shiver. She knew that it would be over for her if she did.
“Shift. Now.” He wasn’t reacting this time. If the person who was being seduced was aware, it lessened
the effect. A lot. This was how sailors were surviving on the sea in the olden days. They knew exactly
what kind of monsters sirens were.
“I can’t shift!” Roxy sobbed, “I am still an omega! It can hurt the baby. Your baby!”
“It seemed to be fine just a while ago,” he got out his phone and quickly swiped the screen. (This novel
will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)Then he shoved it into her face and Gideon could see a video
ying. “You shifted into a fox to fight Maya. I hate to break it to you, my love,” this time every word was
coated in
“Brayden!” she burst into tears loudly and ugly, throwing herself at him again. “I am still your mate! I
couldn’t tell you that I was a fox! You would never ept me… So, I lied about
The Alpha was looking at her now and a storm of emotions was raging inside of him. How could he be so
stupid? Why didn’t he see that before? He lost everything because of the deception of that woman and
all he wanted was to snap her neck. Moreover, he even knew already that the baby wasn’t his. The
doctor ran some tests on Roxy and the baby’s blood type meant that he couldn’t be his father. Because
that child, however small, didn’t have the Alpha marker in his or her blood. And by the next morning, he
would have DNA test results to confirm his suspicions once and for all. But looking at her now, he
already knew that he wasn’t the
father.
“That child and you will be dead by the end of the week if you don’t start speaking,” he
“Brayden! Brayden!” she screamed, but he stopped hearing her as soon as the door closed behind him.
He went to the bathroom and washed his hands, face and everywhere else she touched with her tears.
He didn’t want any of that on him anymore.
“How the hell do you have the footage from the woods?” Gideon growled behind his back as he walked
in. His eyes were glowing now and Bray knew that the lycan king would rip him apart if he could
installed in a few ces to spot intruders. I was lucky that Maya ended up fighting her right under one.
That’s all. I have already checked everything else. There’s nothing useful.”
“Can you see her in the video?” Gideon interrupted his speech.
“Just a bit,” Bray admitted.
“Give it to me! Now!” the lycan snarled at the Alpha. Brayden handed him the phone and Gideon started
watching the short extract of what surely was a long recording before.
He saw a bear, a fox and Roxanne in her human form. Then he saw another wolf
attacking them, who was probably Maya. She was outnumbered but fought fiercely and when she was
done with the first two beasts, Roxy shifted into a huge fox right in front of her. A few momentster he
saw her, his Riannon. She appeared from the depths of the forest and watched her friend fight. One
breath – and a dark figure appeared behind her. He ced some kind of fabric over her nose and mouth
and held her tight while she… did absolutely nothing to fight him. Ria did not struggle at all.
Maya was done with Roxanne when she could still see the man taking his mate away. But she did not
move either, watching how the fox slowly shifted back to her human form instead and only asionally
ncing at her Alpha being taken.
So many things were wrong with that video. (This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)The
whole finale took a few seconds but an Alpha and a Beta were supposed to have better reactions.
“Bring me the rest of it!” Gideon ordered, sending the video to himself via messenger and turned his back
to the Brayden. “All of it!”
He went to the observation room, where Maya, Reid and Ash were still watching Roxy cry hysterically in
the corner. :
“So noisy!” Reid rolled his eyes, pointing at the fox behind the ss who couldn’t see
them.
or if it was some kind of a joke. However, when he growled loudly and menacingly, they all
stood up and headed for the exit.
“Not you, Maya,” the lycan king motioned for the Beta to stay and his own second looked at him
questioningly. “We need to talk.”
just like Ash, not defying his king’smand.
Maya did not seem worried of phased at all even when Gideon handed her his phone with
the very same video. She watched it, unbothered. Just the way she watched Riannon taken
“So,” Gideon snarled, “would you exin to me what the hell that was?!”
