Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 191

Victor's

POV

"You're not planning on going without me, right?"

My attention went to the woman on the bed.

Lauren was holding the blanket to her chest. Her bed hair was all over her shoulders. Sleep is still clear on her eyes. However, it will always be a welcoming sight I would love to have every day of my life. "Good morning, my Luna." I greeted with a smile.

I glanced at my reflection on the mirror before I drew near. I buttoned my shirt as I cut the short distance between us. I sat on the edge of the bed after I pressed a soft kiss on her mouth.

"The plan is to go with you, my love. We're going to fight together." I responded. A smile is still plastered on my lips. "I'm no longer in this alone."

"I'm glad. Why are you up so early? It's only after six in the morning."

"I am meeting Richard in the conference room. He has something for me. I will tell you about it when I get back."

"Alright."

I gave her another kiss before standing again.

"Take a shower, my Luna. You smell like me."

I heard a soft laugh from the woman. It warmed my heart.

"And you love it."

"Of course. I'll see you in a bit."

The smile on my face remained even when I already left the room Lauren and I shared. I headed to the conference room in the manor.

It was downstairs. In the left wing.

I asked for breakfast and a pot of coffee from the house help. I knew that this is going to be a long day. I wanted to face it with a full stomach.

The plan on going to the location of the Dark Witch has been postponed. Only for a few days.

Since Lauren is coming with me to the place where I possibly thought the Enchantress might be, I have to make sure of not only my security but also my mate's.

That night, we sleep it off. Somehow, the confrontation has made a huge different in our relationship. It was an eye opener for someone like me who liked to keep everything to myself. We have decided to make another plan. A foolproof plan.

"What do we have?" I asked when I reached the conference room.

I pulled a chair and face one of my trusted warriors. Beside him was Richard who was also looking at the screen of the computer.

Looking at these men, especially on the younger man, he spent the night working. The coffee and the energy drink on the table were enough evidence of his all-nighter.

They were hunching over the screen of the computer when I got here. They only raised their head to look who came in. They bowed their head a little when they saw that it was me. "Like you have ordered, Alpha. We did not follow Lola."

I nodded when the warrior started. His name is Eli. He was part of my security team and the best hacker and tech boy in the tribe. He was young. A little over twenty years old and a couple of years out of college.

I funded his college education when I see the potential in him. Although, he wanted to be warrior, the man has talent.

Lauren's stepmother is the only connection I have with the Dark Witch. The only strong lead that could point me to the Enchantress who has made my life hell.

"However, the tracker that I placed in her body allowed us to see where she went the whole time."

Eli's hand continued flying in the keyboard in front of him.

Unbeknownst to us, Eli embedded a body tracker on Lola when we held the woman prisoner. The warrior told us when I about to place a warrior to shadow the old woman.

I released Lola two days after her captured. She was interrogated so that I would know the location of the witch. At first, Lola refused to speak.

According to her, she would rather die than reveal any information about the Dark Witch. Yet, her had no choice but spill her knowledge when I poured the truth serum that Mila voluntary concocted.

Despite the location I got from the old woman, I still doubt if she was telling the truth. I need evidence that could point me to the person I am looking for.

With the permission from Lauren, I let the woman go. Initially, the old woman will be shadowed but when Eli told me about the tracker, the plan has changed. Without so much movements from my side, I was able to locate Lola without her knowledge. It was a brilliant idea from the young hacker.

"These were the places where she went the last five days."

The three of us looked at the widescreen in front of us.

The map of the State was shown on the monitor. It occupied almost half of the white wall.

Red line made a mark on different places of the map.

"She was busy." Eli commented.

"How can we be so sure that she was it? What if she discovered the tracker and placed it on a vehicle or a delivery truck?" The beta asked.

"The tracker will only work if the object it was on has a pulse."

"It can be on any animal." Richard still pushed.

The beta has a point.

"That can be true also, beta. However, let me give you a view of the locations."

The map on the huge screen changed. It was zoomed on the city up to the street names of the map.

"Besides, Lola has to ask someone to open her wound again if she wants the tracker removed." Eli muttered. His eyes were on the screen of the computer. "That's the main road, the busy street downtown. It's thirty miles from here."

Eli followed the red line on the different streets. The red line stopped on three different motels, three restaurants, several convenience store, and one grocery store. It even made a pit stop to a well-known pharmacy.

"Alpha, she was running in the twenty-mile radius. Lola was in three towns this whole time." The young man disclosed. "To answer the question, Beta Richard, this specific restaurant did not accept pets." The tech boy added. He even sent a smug smile at the beta. He pressed the small icon on the map. It showed the name of the restaurant frequented by the town's people. Even I went there a couple of times.

"Fine. Where did you place the tracker again?"

"At the wound on her back when the tribe's doctor treated her." Eli grinned. "That woman has to bare her body so that someone can remove it. You know, prod the healing booboo."

"Alright, alright. Shut up." Richard said to the grinning man.

"Well done, Eli. Where is she now?"

The young man straightened when I asked him that. His face went back to being serious.

"Contrary to what we know, alpha. The place that we were supposed to go, she was miles away from there at the moment. She visited that place twice to send us off track. She has this thought that we had her follow. I mean, she's right. Not physically though." "Let's be thankful that Lola is not up to date with technology." I commented. "Where is she at the moment?"

None of us speak a word but our attention was back on the map.

The red line disappeared. A red dot remained. For a while it remained immobile.

A frown marred my face when I saw the name of the place. The map was very familiar.

"She's right there, alpha. She has been there since last night."

A swore exited my mouth.

Shock was also written on the two other men in the conference room.

"It was the reason why I decided to sacrifice my sleep. I thought the tracker was compromised until I looked at the area." Eli said with confirmation.

The Dark Witch has been under our noses this whole time. She was hiding in plain sight. It was probably the reason why she was able to move in and out of the Midnight Claw territory. Because she was just sitting on the place bordering it!

The Enchantress was in the human population. She was in the property owned by a human farmer that has a very huge plantation of wheat.

"Call for the warriors that will join us in the mission. I will be back in ten with the Luna."

The house help was about to knock when I opened the door to the conference room. I could smell the coffee and food coming from the trolley beside her.

"Thank you. Please add more. More are coming to join us." I said to the help before turning back to get my mate.

I released a deep breath. The Dark Witch has fooled me for a long time. This end now.
