Alfredo’s Pov News from the front lines sounded better. Alpha Brian was at an all-time high as he boasted about how easy it was for him to rip through the patrol he had encountered on the first day.I laughed at the thought of it. That was exactly the plan. First, he sneaked into place, killing as many patrols as they could until they were in the territory proper.We had agreed with what Claire chose, sending more than half of my men with Alpha Brian while some remained at my home just in case Alpha Farrell had other thoughts.My face was also necessary for him to think all of us were present in that position, as multiple breaches would mean there was a rat, and that was not what we wanted.“Aren’t you joining the battle?” Mr Peter said as he moved into my tent. He was the only elder present because some were either too old or the younger ones were already on the battlefield, aiming to create a name for themselves.“I will join you soon,” I said as I pushed myself to my feet. The sm
Alpha Brian’s POV“Never thought you would want to join in a battle of these sorts,” I said to Peter as Alfredo walked away with his Beta. Claire had let us know what we had to do with us closing on Alpha Farrell in a pincer. I attacked from the front while Alfredo took over the pack from behind, sticking from the back of our opponent and leaving them no chance to escape, but here I was, sitting with another graying man.“We either go in a blaze of glory or we live long enough to see the need to go in a blaze of glory,” Peter said, pulling out a cigar from God knows where.He stooped to my fire, picking a lump of red coal to his mouth. A red glow spurned from the butt of his cigar, pouring out white fume.“It does not matter what the reasons are. We do everything for our pack,” I said, grabbing another part of the roast chicken. Much of home food seemed to be the reason I’ve softened to the men. I could feel it within myself.“The pack does matter when it is the overall. In individu
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “We have intel about the attackers,” Aiden said as he walked towards me, holding a tablet in his hands. His hands continued their work, typing things I could not see.The enemies, we knew them already. It would not be a different person.“Alpha Brian is the one leading the charge,” Aiden said as he raised his head to look at me.I could feel Ora’s indignation even before he spoke. “Let’s go to end this fight before it gets worse.”It was going to get worse for the enemies, but I had promised myself something and I wanted to keep to that promise. “We would try to face him in the fight and end all of this as peacefully as we can.”“I don’t think he'll want to do the same,” Aiden said. “He inherited the hatred from Alfredo, and we know the type of person alpha Brian is,” he pointed out.He was right in some kind of way. We kept tabs of every Alpha in the six known packs of our werewolf community, and his name stood out. Although not as my predecessors. His coming i
Alpha Farrell’s Pov.“Do it,” alpha Brian said, flashing me a grin with teeth stained with blood.I closed my eyes for a second, reminiscing about the things I had said. “I will never be like my father or his father before him,” I said, opening my eyes to the man kneeling in front of me.“What is your option now, alpha? You only have the option of killing me.”“No. I have others,” I said, knocking him senseless with a huge knockout blow to the side of his head. He dropped like a sack of rice to the ground. “It is enough!”My scream rang through the forest as I raised the fallen alpha to the air. Members of the opposition fighting stopped, seeing their leader in that state, starting from the ones closer to me.“Your alpha is defeated,” I said as I moved towards the site where the fighting was heaviest, watching the opposition kneel when they saw their alpha in that state.It was enough for me; I thought as I walked the length of the battlefield. My men's chants rose into the sky with v
Claire’s PovI held my hand to my forehead as I paced the room. It was obvious as I turned on the television. Every report was on the ongoing war with Lockhart pack. Alpha Brian had promised us a victory, assured us with the strength of his pack, but it looked like they were on the losing end.Alpha Farrell had taken the opportunity, moving towards his pack after destroying him and his men first, tearing through him like someone would tear through paper.“Calm down,” Anya said, as she noticed I was hyperventilating.“How do you expect me to calm down when everything we planned is going down the drain?” I retorted as I pointed to the television. "Every fucking thing!"The war was over like the supposed combined might of Lockhart pack and Silver rose never existed.There was no way she was going to remain one day in this pack. I blew hot as I picked up my phone, setting it to privacy mode before dialing the only number on the phone.“What’s happening? This is not what we intended,” my v
Alfredo’s PovA scream woke me up in the morning. I was up on my feet, readying against any attack. It was more than enough that I was losing a war in barely a week, losing almost half of my men to Nightshade pack.Sheila was up also, a frightened look on her face. With my finger on my lips, I gestured for her to keep quiet while I made my way to the front of the house.Some of my men had returned, but my mother stood in front of them. She was the one that had screamed.My gaze went to the cause of her scream as I knew she’d not scream for nothing. It stood in front of me. Like a warning, a threat, and yet, none of my plans yet accomplished. Mr Peter’s head was on a stake, held in the arms of a forbearer.It took me nothing to walk up to him; the bearer of bad news. He was on his knees with my claws pointing up into his face while I held on to the stake hoisting Mr. Peter’s head. I let go of the messenger, letting him gurgle and choke on his blood.“Go home,” I said to the remaining m
Melissa’s POVI sat down in the living room listening to the good news and more updates about the war. The joy in my heart knew no bounds and I've never felt more at peace like I do right now.My phone rang, and I glanced over to see it was from an unknown caller. Not many people have my phone number, and the few who did, I have their contacts saved."Hello?" I answered gingerly."Hey babe," I heard the familiar voice I hadn't heard in a long time."Alfredo?" I asked in disbelief."Yes baby, missed me?" He asked smugly.I hissed. "Shouldn't you be hiding your head in shame, you lost, remember?" I mocked. "You just got humiliated, and still have the guts to call me? How shameless can you be?"Alfredo chuckled darkly. "I may have lost the battle, but I definitely won the war.""You're delusional, Alfredo," I told him. "A little piece of advice, run and never look back," I said flatly and ended the call.The phone rang again in less than two seconds.I sighed and shook my head before de
Alfredo’s Pov After I ended the call with Melissa, I sat down on a chair, with my eyes closed and a fulfilled smile on my lips. Now everything was worth it in the end, the plan couldn't have gone any better. For one, Alpha Brian was taking the fall for the war, I'll just say I never agreed to it, it's not like there's proof that I orchestrated anything anyway. And the final icing on the cake, I GOT BACK MY BABY!!!I couldn't be happier, Melissa is finally going to be where she's always belonged; right by my side, just as the goddess destined it. Things wouldn't have led to this if she was not being stubborn and just decided to stay back. She's always had my heart just that she won't be the Pack's Luna and just be my mistress. Being my mistress wouldn't matter because absolutely no one would dare disrespect her."Why are you smiling?" One of the kids suddenly asked, startling me for a second. I had totally forgotten that they were in here "Huh, what?" I furrowed my brows."Why are y
