Chapter 616 - The Rebel Leader

Tasha was furious. She looked at Lucas as if she would eat him alive. Ever since Kaizan had told her to come back to Silver Vales only with him, she and her group had hunted everywhere to find him. She didn't know who bailed him out, but whosoever had done that must have been close to Murtagh.  And that was enough for her to forget about him. For a week they searched for him but he was nowhere to be found. Tasha was sure that this was the last of her career as a soldier in Silver Vales because if she didn't return with Lucas, Kaizan would never let her continue. 

The tension had been eating her like a disease. After a week, she had resigned to her fate that she would never be able to go back to the capital. And that also meant that her lie would eventually be caught. In nervousness, she had stopped eating and even vomited once or twice. In the end she decided to just go to the rebel leader and take it from there. 

The den of the rebel leader was in the jungles through which the trade path winded. As she walked in the den with her group of four soldiers, she saw that the rogues were playing games with dice and cards and making lewd jokes. Swords, spears, axes and other weapons lined up the sides of the cave, the walls of which were stone gray. Several torches lit the cave brightly in the dark of the night. A few female she-wolves catered to men in every possible way. Brew ran freely on the bars. She could hear moans and groans of men and women from somewhere behind the cave where she knew there were more rooms. 

It wasn't something new for her but she was in a frenzy. A rogue greeted her from the far end at the right but she disregarded him. She had to meet the rebel leader and discuss her future plans. She was heading straight to his room through all the buzz of activity when suddenly her head caught the sight of blond hair and loud laughter on the left. Shock pulsated through her body and a growl left her as fury swelled in her chest. She lunged at Lucas and grabbed him by the collar. She picked him up and shoved him on the floor. Lucas landed on the feet of the rebel leader. 

"Tasha," the rebel leader grinned at her. "What a lovely way to enter, pet. Come here." His breeches were not fully buttoned and he had thrown a jacket over which was open in the front, revealing his naked chest that had several wicked marks. 

Tasha was still growling at Lucas who was now trembling uncontrollably. "Bloody bastard!" she yelled. "How the fuck you are in this den?" 

"I— I was—" Lucas stammered. Tasha charged at him and punched him on his face. "You dare to come here?" she shouted and then began kicking him ferociously, venting all her frustration of one week. "Who the fuck bailed you, huh?" 

The rebel leader grabbed her by her waist and picked her up from the ground as she kept throwing her legs at Lucas. "Tasha, Calm down!" he pressed his face in her head and turned to take her to his room. 

"Luke, keep me down! He is wanted in the capital by none other than the General! Let me take him from here. He is a bloody useless, senseless man!" Tasha said in a breathless voice. 

"Calm down first, pet," he growled. "It was me who bailed him out." 

"Wh— what?" she snapped to look at him as he carried her to his room. 

Luke nipped at her ear and grazed it with his fangs. "Yes," he replied. When they reached his room, he looked at the two women who were lying on his bed, naked. "Get out," he said dangerously. They flinched and froze. They picked up their clothes and rushed out of the room, closing it behind them. Luke took Tasha to his bed and set her to her feet. He bent down to remove her boots. "It was me who bailed him out," he said in a low voice as he pulled her boots out. "He was my sister's lover back in the Whiteclaw pack. I thought I could use him against Olivia in one or the other way." He proceeded to take her jacket out and then the remaining of her clothes. 

Tasha was stunned. "But why?" she asked him as he clutched her sex and took her nipple in between his teeth with a snarl.

"Gods, I missed you!" he said and made her lie on the bed. He drew in hard as she arched her body for him. 

"I need to take him back, else I will be thrown out," she said in a breathless voice when he took her other breast in his mouth and put his finger inside her core. He started massaging her clit with his thumb and in no time, she was ready for him. 

"You can take him if you like," he said, as she rode on his finger. Luke was her lover, as was Murtagh. The difference between them was that Murtagh was older and Luke was like a strong horse. 

Years back, when Luke was sent to one of the battles by his father, Kaizan's second in command, Finn had trapped him and had injured him severely. When Kaizan had come to inspect the scene, he was lying over a few dead bodies, unable to move even a little. In that battle, their previous rebel leader had died. Murtagh had found him before his father could and lured him into leading the group of rogues in the name of being the rebel leader. Murtagh needed control of both the Whiteclaw pack as well as the rogues, all in the name of freedom. Little did they know that it was all just business for him. 

Even though the man was under house arrest in Draoidh, it didn't matter as long as foolish and driven ones like Luke were under his control. Things were going well until Vaarin and Dmitri came together for the peace treaty. After the treaty, Murtagh's control over the Whiteclaw pack got lost. Vaarin was now handling the reins completely because Vaarin wasn't talking to Murtagh at all. And that is why Murtagh was strengthening his rebel group. He was playing a game against Vaarin. Father against son. When he saved Luke, he spread the rumor that Luke was dead, when in fact he had sent him to his den and asked his rogue healers to heal him and make him healthy. 

Murtagh had strategized well. Now that Vaarin wasn't talking, now that his daughter was Kaizan's mate, he was banking completely on Luke. 

Luke loomed over Tasha after removing his clothes and once she had got orgasm over his finger and then pushed inside her in one thrust. "Ahhh!" he rode her fiercely as he chased his orgasm and soon, he released inside her. He slumped over her body and closed his eyes. 

When they were lying beside each other, he said, "You can take him if you like, but after I use him for the wedding festivities at the Whiteclaw pack which my father is throwing for Olivia.
