Chapter 30: Kidnapping Threat

Sebastian's POV

It wasn't until the afternoon that I realized I hadn't seen Melissa all day, not even at mealtime.

A nagging feeling in my gut suggested something was wrong, but the encroaching demands of the alliance and the chaos caused by my stepmother and brother kept me distracted.

Picking up my phone, a few messages from Melissa jolted me from my chair.

Martell, startled by my sudden movement, immediately asked,

"Is there someone attacking our pack, Alpha?"

I shook my head, my expression darkening as I issued orders.

"Exile Lydia; cast that woman out of the North."

I had once been grateful that Lydia was willing to impersonate Rachel and keep Mignon company in my stead.

Even though I knew she exploited my name to manipulate the women of the "harem," I chose to turn a blind eye.

But I never expected that, even after I had drawn a line between us, she would still use these matters to trouble Melissa.

Not to mention, she aimed to use her looks and hair color to confuse Mignon and regain my attention!

"But she..."

Martell hesitated, uncertain whether what the Alpha said was true. After all, before Melissa's arrival, Lydia had held nearly dictatorial power in the "harem."

He had suspected several times that Lydia might become their new Luna until Melissal appeared.

"There are no buts. Arrange for a vehicle now; I need to leave for the South Island."

I was taken aback by Melissa's/boldness; she had taken Mignon out of the North without

I couldn't imagine what would happen if others discovered that the daughter of the Dark Alpha was outside the North.

Would they seize the opportunity to target her and Melissa?

Neither my sudden succession as Alpha during my youth, nor facing those surprise.

The two most important people in my life were now outside my protective reach.

Just the thought of it made beads of sweat form on my

Without waiting for Martell and Basil, I left the North, racing to inform the South Island and avert a territorial dispute.

I dialed Melissa's number, but after a long while, there was no answer.

Cold sweat dripped down my forehead; I hoped my worst fears weren't coming true at this

moment.

However, when I spotted Debra's car, I realized the situation might not be so dire after all -at least for now, it remained within my control.

Just as I pondered how to contact Melissa, my phone suddenly rang.

"You should know that the mad dog has now allied with the eastern and western routes! This has made it difficult for Sebastian to exercise control over these areas. The bay and other areas have also begun supporting him. If that mad dog gains a firm grasp on most territories, our survival in the North will become even more challenging. I doubt Sebastian has shared this with you, has he?"

On the other end of the line, my foolish brother Vince was utterly arrogant.

Why did these idiots feel the need to inform Melissa of such matters?

I rubbed my temples, regretting my kindness toward them.

"As the former Luna of the Meadow, why aren't you getting the Meadow's Alpha to support us?"

The sound of rustling made me uncomfortable, and after a moment, Melissa's voice. finally came through.

"He has already released me, and I have no ties to the Meadow. There is a world of difference between Elliott volunteering to join us and being forced to do so. I can't interfere with someone else's free will, and honestly, I don't think Sebastian needs such useless support."

Melissa sounded tense, which frustrated me further-why had I let the meeting drag on all day?

Taking a deep breath, I used my Alpha power to connect with Melissa.

"Are you okay, my love?"

"Sebastian?"

Melissa quickly sensed my call and responded.

"Quick! We're in the ICU on the sixth floor. They're about to terminate Mignon's

Perhaps my voice reassured Melissa. I could feel her genuine concern for our daughter, as well as her current relief.

"Alright! You piece of trash! Bitch! I have some questions for you, and if your answers don't satisfy me, don't blame me for being rude."

Debra's voice came through the phone, accompanied by Shakti's laughter, deepening my

frown.

"I advise you to behave yourself; otherwise, if you do anything rebellious, I might suspect you are a traitor sent by another pack to the North."

I didn't even know when I had given my stepmother such power over me!

"Does Sebastian know about this?"

Melissa asked, but it seemed they didn't care at all.

"I'm his mother, so I'm here to interrogate the prisoner. He has no right to stop me. Whether you sleep with him or earn his favor, those things won't change your identity. Your very existence threatens the safety of our North." Debra's voice sounded condescending, and the clattering noises on the other end confirmed my suspicion: they must have shackled Melissa's wrists with silver handcuffs.

"But I have the right to be informed, and you shouldn't use my child's life to threaten me!"

"Shut your mouth. Can't you see the situation we're in?"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The sharp sound of a slap nearly drove me to madness; how dare Shakti lay a hand on my beloved?

"Even if you kill me, you won't get the answers you want, and Sebastian will punish you for it."

Melissa remained calm, though her heart was undoubtedly heavy with worry for our daughter.

I felt foolish for ever doubting Melissa's ability to accept Mignon; it was clear now that my concerns had stemmed solely from my own overthinking.

"How dare you utter the Alpha's name? If it weren't for you, Aunt Debra would have already found a way to make me his Luna! You vile woman!"

Shakti roared at Melissa, and my disdain for her grew even stronger.

"You say

he trusts you? What if you end up killing her daughter? This is just us here, so

everything that happens depends on our words. If the mad dog wants you, we can easily hand you over to him in exchange for peace, or we could use you to eliminate the mad dog and stir up conflict between the Meadow and other regions." Debra's foolish plan nearly made me laugh out loud. What kind of idiot was she?

I couldn't believe this was the woman my father favored!

"We could stand united, all serving the Alpha. You don't need to be so wary of me."

Melissa obediently avoided mentioning my name.

"We need to deal not only with the mad dog but also with others; Sebastian is too lenient to be the Wolf Lord of the North. My son would do a much better job leading the North."

Hearing such open betrayal amused me.

"Don't think I'm heartless; after all, he i
