(SIR JAMES THE THIRD'S POV)After outlining my plans to the other Alphas, I asked if they had any suggestions, and they stated what they all felt should be included.“I think all our arms should be laced with powerful herbs. We shouldn't go with ordinary arms. Even the bullets should be heavily laced.” Rhett suggested.“We have to train for a full moon, and we shouldn't send any letter informing him of the intended war. We should take him unawares, that way his men won't be ready.” Micheal proposed.“I suggest we attack at night, it's a really vulnerable time to attack anyone.” Randy suggested.The suggestions were endless, and we deliberated on them all, deciding which to go with.By the time we were done, it was late into the night. It was a good thing I had rooms prepared for them, so they slept over and departed to their various packs the next day.“Summon the soldiers immediately,” I ordered my advisor after the Alphas left.A few minutes later, he returned to inform that the sol
(NOEL'S POV)After Killian's death, Logan and his men became even more withdrawn. Most times, they rejected their food, and most times they eat. I know they were trying to starve to death, but I won't let that.I was not done dealing with Logan. He was going to pay dearly for how my mother was treated. Once I am satisfied that he has suffered enough, I will behead him in front of the people and hang his head at the pack's entrance gate.But something else bothered me. I heard that Logan has a son and a mate, and she had fled to God knows where. Now, that might foil my plan, as the boy might grow up tomorrow to challenge me. I needed to get rid of the boy as soon as possible.“Get me Howard,” I ordered the guard at my chamber's door.The sound of retreating footsteps informed me that he has left to run the errand. A few minutes later, the door opened and Howard walked in, a displeased look on his face.Since the death of Killian, Howard had kept his distance from me. He only spoke to m
HOWARD'S POVI walked stealthily, looking behind my shoulders to ensure that no one was following me. After walking for a while, I arrived at a clearing and stopped.This was the spot I had agreed to meet with the lady from the Rages' beast pack, who my spy informed me that she had Information about the whereabouts of Logan and his wife.I shifted uncomfortably on each leg as I waited. As much as I had asked for us to meet at a place far from my pack, I still was wary about being seen.Furthermore, I could have easily asked my spy to get the information from her, but I would rather not take chances. I don't trust anyone at this point, and wouldn't want to jeopardize the safety of Logan's heir and mate.Minutes flew into hours and there was still no sign of the lady. I was beginning to think that I had wasted my time coming here and that the lady was a scammer. I also prepared myself to scold my spy for being careless to have contacted a scammer, when I heard a rustling sound in the bu
HOWARD'S POVI was preparing to go hunting. I was craving deer stew and needed to get a fresh deer for the preparation.I had just finished arranging my hunting weapons when the door creaked open and Olivia walked in.“Hey, brother.” She called as she walked in and gave me a peck. Now, that was strange. Olivia has never pecked me.“Hey,” I called back, slipping into my hunting jacket.“I didn't hear anything from you concerning your search for LOGAN'S wife and son.” She said, coming to stand beside me.“I…” I made to reply in the affirmative but changed my mind. Olivia's sudden interest in knowing about the whereabouts of Logan's son and mate was suspicious.“I am still searching for them,” I responded instead. “It is not that easy, you know.”“Hmm,” she sounded disappointed. “I know, right? Please tell me when you get information about them,” she patted my back, and then she was gone.Now, that was suspicious. I can't believe Olivia came all the way from her chambers to inquire about
HOWARD’S POVEverywhere went silent as I feared that the guard had heard what I said. I lowered my face to avoid meeting his intent gaze. Just when I was expecting him to haul me up and take me to Noel, he flung clothing I didn't realize he was holding, at me.“Be grateful the Alpha doesn't want you to freeze to death,” he said, before walking out.I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, after he left.“What were you saying earlier?” Logan, who I presumed had waited for the guard to leave, asked.“I said I know where your son is hiding with his mate,” I replied.“How do you know about my mate and son?” Logan asked, not convinced.“From Noel. He is looking for them,”“He told me,” Logan whispered, lowering his head. “It's a pity I can't save them.”“Hey, he is not aware of where they are,” I informed Logan. “I didn't tell him.”Logan's head jerked up immediately as he stared at me in surprise. “And why should I believe you?”“Because they are not dead yet. Trust Noel to brin
NOEL'S POVI turned to the maiden and harshly ordered her to leave my chambers. Hurriedly, I slipped my manhood back into my trousers.Turning to Olivia, I asked. “Are the soldiers retaliating?”“They are, but they seemed outnumbered. These people mean business, and the arms that they have with them are ones that I have never seen before.” Olivia explained, her eyes misty with fear.“Go on, I'm coming after you.”Hesitantly, she stared at me before hurrying off.Confusion overtook me as I slipped into my fighting clothes, wondering who these Invaders were. And to worsen things, they attacked at night, a vulnerable time when everyone would be exhausted from their diverse daily activities.My confusion was replaced by fear. My soldiers are not prepared enough because no one was expecting an attack.“Cowards!” I cussed at the Invaders. They didn't even have the decency to warn me beforehand about their attack.I was even more scared because there was no way to reach the Giants that had
LOGAN'S POVI have never felt satisfied and relieved like I felt when I delivered the blow to Noel's face.“You bastard!” I growled and charged towards him, aiming to hit him again, but I was restrained by the other Alphas.“You need to get a grip on yourself, Alpha. You need to recover first, he will be here to get the penalty of his deeds. You need detoxification as I can smell poison all over you.” Sir James said, pulling me backward.As if on cue, I felt a wave of dizziness and I staggered backwards.“Are you okay?” I heard different voices in the background as my head swoon. I tried to stay stable, but couldn't. I doubled up, and my legs gave way beneath me as I lost consciousness.That was all I recalled as I woke up to find myself on a bed. Groggily, I opened my eyes and was met by pairs of worried eyes staring down at me.“Thank God he is awake,” a voice said, and I tried to prop myself up on the bed but stopped as a banging headache overtook me.“Don't stress yourself, Logan.
SCOTT'S POVI stormed out of Amber's room, my vision blinded by fury. I couldn't believe that the woman and her child I have been harboring and come to take as family are the mate and son of the man I detest with every single fiber of my being.Amber–who would have thought a woman as calm, conserved and innocent like her is capable of such deceit? More reasons why quiet females should be avoided at all cost.I arrived at my study, the walk from Amber's room doing nothing to alleviate how I was feeling. I felt used, betrayed and foolish.Lowering myself on my seat, I reminisced on the raid carried out by Logan and his men. My fury skyrocketed as I thought about the number of my soldiers and pack members that were lost that night.No matter how hard I tried to wave the painful thoughts, owing to my promise to Amber to keep her and Grandal safe, the images of that night still came surging back like an angry tide.My heart constricted painfully in my chest. Such an act was too difficult
