"What's the plan Loki?"
I ignored the pup, I wasn't used to working with others. I'm a bounty hunter I was used to working alone, however in the days to come they could prove useful.
"For now we watch and we wait. Shiya is your target i want to know where she goes who she Meets with and if she does meet with anyone I want to know what their business is with her."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll follow Tharon."
"Don't you think one of us should help you since he's the main target?"
"No you'll only get in the way both of you will stick to Shiya."
They looked at each other hesitating but nodded in agreement. We were perched on top of the building across from moon enterprises. I knew that both Tharon and Shiya were inside. There were two reasons how I knew this. one, the thing that made me one of the best was my sense of smell I could smell that they were inside. Two while most thought that my white eye was the result of an injury and made me half blind it was actually the opposite. I had stolen it from a powerful witch I was hunting she had the power to see through walls.
I smiled to myself no one knew this about me and they never would. Let them think I had a blind side when in reality my eyes were better then anyone's.
Right now Tharon and Shiya were in his office arguing over something. I stretched my hearing further yet another thing that made me good at what I did my hearing Range exceeded most wolves, yet another trick I stole from a bounty many years ago.
"We have to think this through Shiya if we send another bounty hunter they could be tied back to us. There are still members of the council who refuse to join our side."
"Argh who cares about the council our pack is strong enough to take down all the packs why don't we just do it then we wouldn't have to answer to anyone."
"You still have a lot to learn while we are powerful we are no way near powerful enough to take them all down. That's why we have to take down the blue moon pack. They hold too much sway over the council if we can take them down the rest will fall in line."
"Well send the bounty hunter before Ki unlocks Raven's power."
"We wouldn't have had to send another if your first bounty hunter hadn't failed in such a monumental way. He lead Raven straight to Ki of all the bad luck for her to be his mate."
Tharon scowled at his daughter.
"If only you had as much power as she does."
Shiya gritted her teeth.
"She has no power even if she gets it back she'll never be able to beat our whole pack."
Tharon slammed his hands down on the desk.
"Your arrogance will be your undoing Shiya Raven is far more powerful then you could ever know."
"We have the same mother how much more powerful can she be."
"Leave me Shiya I'm through arguing with you when you have no idea what your dealing with."
"Then tell me. What makes her so special? If your so obsessed with her why did you banish her in the first place?! I should have given the bounty hunter the kill order from the start then she would have died in Colorado."
He back handed her across the face.
"If you ever send a kill order against her again I will kill you myself. I should've punished you the second I found out."
He stared at her smiling as she glared back.
"Oh yes I know about you changing his orders to kill Raven not capture. You will learn you place Shiya I am alpha not you and the way your going you will never be alpha. Now get out before I decide to punish you more."
Shiya stormed out.
So it was Shiya who changed the order Tharon still wants Raven alive, but why he already knows he can't unlock her powers that's why he banished her. Unless there was another reason he banished her. I had to find out for sure. Turning to nicali and ward I nodded towards Shiya as she exited the building.
"Follow her I have a feeling she's going to do something stupid if she meets with anyone split up and follow them."
They nodded at they began following her down the street jumping from building to building. I turned my attention back to Tharon.
He went back to his desk and spent the next four hours working talking on the phone about stocks and whatever else it was that he did to pay the bills.
God I was so glad I wasn't in a pack what a Mundane existence. Finally the end of the day came Tharon started getting ready to leave. Thank god I didn't know how much more I could take of this.
With my hearing heightened I knew when Ward had returned.
"Why are you back here?!"
I growled at him.
"Nicali sent me Shiya's sending a bounty hunter."
I snapped my head at him.
"Well what are you doing go warn Ki."
"You don't understand she's not sending the hunter after Ki she's sending him after Tharon."
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"Well that was unexpected. Did you find out who she's sending?"
"Yes a bounty hunter named quell."
I smiled well this was a surprise.
"You know him?"
I nodded.
"Yes he has a very unique specialty."
Ward waited for me to elaborate.
"It's a type of mind control. He can get into your head and make you susceptible to suggestions. Shiya is looking to control her father."
"Probably doesn't have it in her to kill him outright."
"More like she knows even with him dead the pack will never follow her lead."
"Well this is good isn't it? With Tharon out of the picture we only have to deal with Shiya."
I turned back to Tharon he was about to leave his office for the day.
"It could be if we play our cards right."
My mind worked fast I knew what I had to do and after fifteen years I was finally going to have my revenge.
"So what's the plan?."
I stood up.
"If Shiya has control of Tharon she will be far easier to take down then he is. She doesn't have the mind for business or the right mentality to lead."
"So if she does manage to control Tharon then sooner or later she'll make a mistake and the council will step in."
It was then that a realisation dawned on me.
"Not if she already has control of the council."
Wards eyes widened.
"How can that be?"
"If she's using quell then we can assume that she's used him before. We have to find out either way."
"What are you going to do?"
I looked down at him.
"I'll keep watching Tharon you go back to the pack let them know what's going on they need to warn Trigon. If the council are already under Shiyas control he could be walking into a trap."
Ward left to do as i said as I turned my attention back to Tharon. He had just exited the building a limo sat waiting for him. His gaze scanned the buildings in my direction but I was already gone.
This new development could either be the best thing to happen or the worst only time would tell. Either way Both Tharon and Shiya would pay for what they have done.
I sighed as I got into the car I'd left in the ally between the buildings I was spying from. I flipped open the laptop on the passengers seat. The tracker i placed in Tharon's limo bleeped his progress through New York.
I sighed I'll never forget that day when my whole world was turned outside down. I lied to Raven I didn't want her taken over with the need for vengeance. While Lyieta did sacrifice herself to save Raven she was not the one that cursed her.
Lyieta told me to run, she was stronger then me in every way. She knew we wouldn't win and all she wanted was to protect Raven from Tharon so I did it I ran with our daughter. Not that it did any good he hunted us for months. I tried to keep her safe I tried to keep him away from her but her power was too great. He wanted it for his own so i asked an old witch friend to place the curse on her. I knew I would not be able to stop Tharon from taking her away and a life on the run was no life at all. So I cursed her and gave her to Tharon.
I knew he wouldn't kill her I knew he hoped that when she hit thirteen she would be free of the curse and when it didn't happen he banished her. It was my fault her mother died, it was my fault she was cursed and it was my fault she had to grow up in that toxic home. I lied because I didn't want to see the look in her eyes knowing that every misfortune that has ever befallen her is because of me. I am the worst father in the world the only thing I could possibly give her is the hope that one day soon I will avenge her mother and make Tharon pay for starting all of this so many years ago.
