Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 60

At the near border of Blue Moon Pack, Alpha Connor has arrived with the other warriors of the Dark Moon Pack

The two armored vehicles owned by Alpha Connor were parked and left hidden through the help of deceptive covers of the vehicles from any suspecting eyes.

As they start to follow the Alpha Connor, they are all assembled before going further deep in the forest.

"Look! We are exactly near the borders of the Blue Moon Pack. So, we are here for a mission to scout the entire border of the territory of Blue Moon Pack. We have to make sure that there are no suspicious movements or entities lurking around."

"Remember, they were just recently attacked by rogue werewolves. I want everyone to be vigilant. My squad will be circling around the borders while Louve and her squad will go around within the territory of the pack to make sure that the entire territory is secured from any threats." Alpha Connor instructing everyone.

May was not looking happy at all after hearing that she will be in the same squad with Giro. Ever since the Rank Event, May avoided being with any rogue werewolf.

Though, Louve is looking nervous and uneasy all throughout their travel to the Blue Moon Pack's territory.

So after hearing from Alpha Connor that her squad will be assigned to scouting the entire territory of Blue Moon Pack, it made everything more complicated for her.

Louve promised not to return to this forsaken place which she vowed not to return ever again. It is full of bad memories and she cannot go through that hell again. How she wish she could replace a way not to go?

She do not want to celebrate their downfall or tragedy but she thinks karma is working its way for all the sufferings and maltreatment that she had to endure in her entire childhood. Blue Moon Pack got what it deserved!

But at least she would be able to visit the tomb of her foster mother.

Giro, who had become a member of the newly formed Golden Crew, was able to notice the silence and serious look on Louve. He knew immediately after Alpha Connor mentioned the news and information about the Blue Moon Pack, it will somehow stir something within Louve.

He knows that Louve is trying to avoid the Blue Moon Pack and it is the former pack that Louve tried to avoid ever since they met her.

"Are you okay?" Giro expressed his concerns towards Louve.

"Thanks, I am okay!" Louve's reply while trying to tap Giro's arm for reaffirmation.

Alpha Connor saw the gesture of Louve and Giro and he did not like what he saw, but tried his best not to cause any commotion. He does not want his mate to get mad at him for being possessive towards her.

"I know that this is the first mission to some of you to be away from our territory. That's why I want everyone to be fully cautious and wary of your surroundings."

Before Alpha Connor could finish his last words for the rest of the group, he noticed Louve was being anxious and looking bothered by something.

Alpha Connor tried to communicate with his mate through mind-link.

"Is there any problem? Are you feeling alright?"

"I... am okay! But can I switch squads with you?" Louve's nervous reply in the mind-link with Alpha Connor.

"Why would you want to do so? Is there something that I should know that is causing you to feel anxious and bothered?" Curiously asked by Alpha Connor through the mind-link.

There was a long pause from Louve after hearing the query of Alpha Connor.

Alpha Connor is looking at Louve with such seriousness.

Louve ponders on what to reply. She does not want to cause any complications or any unnecessary friction with two strong wolf packs.

"Ah, Harou wants to run and I am still uncomfortable giving commands to your Executive Officers. Scouting around the territory also seems to be lame for my taste. I prefer to stretch our limbs. So, can we swap instead?" Louve directly lied at Alpha Connor. Alpha Connor is trying to rationalize the excuses of Louve if those are the real reason or is she hiding something else to him.

Though, he decided to trust Louve despite his instincts telling him that there is more to it than he is being led on.

"Okay, we can swap! But if something happens out of ordinary, immediately call for me through the mind-link." Alpha Connor telling Louve.

"Thank you! Yes, I will be responsible and immediately call for you." Louve trying to reassure her mate. "Good!" Alpha Connor's last words to Louve before announcing to everyone the changes in his instruction.

Louve is in her wolf form leading her own squad for the first time.

For her first mission as the Captain of a squad from Dark Moon Pack, she is indeed looking formidable and graceful with her actions.

All warriors of the Dark Moon Pack were told about the unique ability of Louve to mind-link with other werewolves without being formally officiated as a member of the Dark Moon Pack.

"Everyone, scout the west area of the border while Elaine and I will try to check the east side of the border!" Louve instructed the other in her squad while they are sprinting in their wolf form.

As soon as they received their instructions from Louve, the rest sprinted their way to the west border of the Blue Moon Pack.

"I just want to ask you. Why did Alpha Connor swap squads with you?" Elaine curiously asked Louve while they were sprinting in their wolf form.

Louve decided to ignore Elaine's questions.

"Let us head to the east side of the border. There is a cemetery right beside the border based on the map given to us. We will check the perimeter if it is secured from lurking threats." Louve declared to Elaine. A sudden voice popped into Louve's mind.

"Nice thinking! We can visit your foster mom's grave." Louve's spirit wolf sudden remark.

"Yes, I never thought that I would have this chance to visit her grave. I just hope everything goes smoothly." Louve's reply to her spirit wolf.

Arnold led the other members of Louve's squad in their task to scout around the western area of the borders of Blue Moon Pack. As they are sprinting their wolf form.

There is a strange scent that made all of them stop on their tracks and become wary of their surroundings.

The three werewolves started growling at the mysterious hooded man hiding behind the shadows of a huge tree.

A scent of a dark being with a stench of corpses could be smelled by the three werewolves.

It alarmed their senses on the threat that it imposes against them.

"Crusio!" Uttered by a mysterious hooded man hiding on the shadows of a huge tree.

Crusio is a dark magic that creates unbearable pain and misery for anyone to get struck by this spell. It uses the fear of its target and utilizes it to trigger pain and misery.

Immediately, Arnold and the others are starting to feel disoriented and whimpered from the pain they had to go through from the dark magic spell.

It was too much for them to handle the unbearable pain inside their body that caused them to pass out.

"Hmm... I do not need some pesky werewolves to disturb my objectives for today. I cannot afford the demon king to get furious with me. Time to get what I went here for!" Said by the mysterious man from the shadows. After seeing the three werewolves fall to the ground one by one, the mysterious man went back to the shadows and disappeared.

ལ

As soon as Louve and Elaine arrived at the cemetery area of the Blue Moon Pack, Elaine could not stop herself but ask Louve once again.

"Louve, why are you uncomfortable with scouting around Blue Moon Pack's territory? You look so bothered ever since we left the Dark Moon Pack." Elaine persistently asked Louve through mind-link.

While Elaine was asking Louve through mind-link, Louve could only think about approaching the gravestone of her foster mother. "Louve..."

Suddenly Elaine jumped right in front of Louve in her wolf form trying to get through her.

It made Louve give in to Elaine's persistence and replied to her through the mind-link.

"Fine! I asked Alpha Connor to swap with me because this is my former wolf pack. This place is full of bad memories because this is where... my older brother left me on my own, and the place where my foster mother died because of me." Louve revealed to Elaine a portion of her past that she tried so hard to forget and leave behind.

A long pause after the revelation of Louve.

There were no right words or anything that Elaine could say to uplift Louve's mood. From the moment, Elaine totally understood Louve's actions ever since they left for the mission.

Louve remembered that only the rogue brothers knew about her affiliation with the Blue Moon Pack. So, it is better to make Elaine swear to keep everything as a secret.

"Elaine, can I trust you? That after this, you will never mention nor share this important detail of my past. Will you promise me?" Louve asked Elaine through the mind-link. "Yes, I promise!" Immediate reply of Elaine.

"Will you stay here? I will just check the gravestone of my foster mother." Louve instructed Elaine.

"Sure! I will wait for you here." Elaine reassuring Louve.

Louve went ahead to check on her foster mother's gravestone while she is in her wolf form.

Minutes passed by...

A scent of death and corpse suddenly invaded Elaine's senses.

Despite being in the cemetery, the scent of death and corpse suddenly became stronger which triggered her spirit wolf to warn her of incoming danger.

But everything was too late for Elaine.

"Crusio!" Loudly casted by the mysterious man.

After getting struck by the dark magic casted against her, Elaine whimpered in pain and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Now, I am getting closer to my target!"

The mysterious man started moving on his way... towards where Helena is buried...
