STEPHAN

“How many?” Claude asked.

“Five.”

“Five!” his eyes widened.

“Yes, five.”

“Stephan, are you certain that you can get this done with just five men?” There was a tinge of worry in Claude’s voice.

For the first time in a long time, he made no attempt to go for the bottle even though it was within reach.

“That was the exact number of Elite Guards that would have been sent if I didn’t volunteer to go instead.”

“Yeah Stephan, they are professionals, that makes sense. You should have requested more men.”

I eyed him, “What are you trying to imply?”

Claude sniffled and kept quiet.

“No, go ahead and say it.”

“Stephan you know as well as I know that the Elite Guards are the best of the best, it makes sense to send only five.”

“What are you trying to imply Claude, I want you to say it.”

He sighed, “They are all combat tested and have strategic skills that you lack.”

I arched an eyebrow, “I lack?”

“C’mon, don’t give me that look. Fair enough, your father made sure that you were

Was he a merchant of some sort?No, what was I saying, he told me that he was trained as a pack guard.I recalled the uniform and the mask that he was wearing when he saved me from those thugs. I had never seen any pack guard dressed like that before.I made it a point to ask him and find out what he actually did for a living when he comes back from wherever he went to.I found myself yearning for him and wishing that he hadn’t gone so quickly.Why did I shy away from him when he came over? What is wrong with you Rebekka?Why was I acting as if I was not interested in his touch?I remembered how hard I blushed when he stroked my cheeks. The thought caused me to smile.He said he was going to teach me to fight. Me?The thought excited me and scared me at the same time, was that really necessary?He said that whoever was after me might try again to hurt me so it was necessary but then the idea that someone

    25 – GUARD DOGDAMONIt was essential that I left the pack ahead of Stephan's group.If I wanted to get where I was going ahead of time, I needed the head start.I had decided after I left Rebekka that it was not enough fun to just sit on the sidelines and watch the so-called heir carry out his mission, I needed to be involved somehow.I had been navigating for some hours now and I recognized the mountain head from one of the maps, I grinned to myself, I was close to my target.I paused suddenly, my body tingling and alert, I could feel a pair of eyes on me.Was there a sentry or a scout? I was being watched, I could feel it.I frowned, the pair of eyes that were on me didn’t feel human.I resumed walking, causally on the outside but very alert inside, my eyes were scanning the hill ranges for any sign of my watcher but I could not spot it.Whoever or whatever it was, it was skilled in stealth, but I knew, sooner or later, it was going to show itself.The sun was already hiding itself

    26 – TEA PARTYREBEKKA“Are you Rebekka Kent?” a deep voice asked from behind.I turned around startled.An intimidating looking pack guard was standing behind me.I backed away from him as my panic began to rise.What was all this? I had just woken up in the morning to start my day and now a pack guard was looking for me?“I am, is there any problem?”He must have noticed the look of apprehension on my face because he made an attempt to smile, “You are not in any trouble, miss.”I still looked at him suspiciously but I was much calmer now.“You have been given a high summon.”My eyes widened in shock. A High Summon, me?“Sorry, there must be some sort of mistake, are you sure you are talking to the right person?”“You are Rebekka Kent, right?”I nodded.“Then it is definitely you.”I was still shocked, a high summon? But who could be summoning me? Damon and Stephen were both out of the pack on some secret mission that neither of them told me about. I didn’t know any other high born.

I wanted to talk to the person in cha

If I remained here and Stephan and his group came in and met me, I would be in a serious situation, I needed to get out of here as soon as possible.“Go, find out what is happening,” she instructed one of the warlocks.The bald man withdrew his blade from my neck and rushed towards the entrance of the hideout.“We are wasting precious time, you need to come with me now,” I said with urgency in my voice.The coven leader cast me a confused look.“The longer you stay here, the less likely your chance of escape.”“Keep quiet, let me think,” she said as she began to run her fingers through her hair.“What is there to think about? This is cut and dry.”“Keep talking and you would lose your tongue,” the second warlock threatened.I eyed him then kept quiet, my mind was working.It sounded like a simple enough plan, make Ste

She must be lying.But she sounded so sure, so smug and confident… could she really be lying? Why would a high born feel the need to lie to a nobody like me, she must be telling the truth.My heart felt like it was going to give out any second now, I could not bear this anymore.“So, just remain out of sight and don’t try to stir up any trouble else… being attacked by thugs and getting poisoned would be the least of your worries!”There was something about the way she said it that didn’t sit well with me. First of all, how did she know that I was attacked by thugs and poisoned?Apart from the thu

If she had been fast about accepting my proposal earlier, we would not have been scrambling to find a new exit now.We would have just walked out the way I came in and been long gone before Stephan and his merry band of witch killers made it to the hideout.True to my hearing, there was a hot spring located somewhere up here in the mountains.I followed the sound until I came to the source of it.There was a slit in the rocky outgrowth and the rays of the early morning sun streaked in through the crevice.The problem was that it was not big enough to fit anybody.In a network of caves such as these, there was bound to be more exits but we could not risk it, we might run into wild wolves.I

I blinked as I felt the soft rays of the sunlight filter through the curtains and hit me.What time was it? How long had I been out of it?I strained to sit up, my body felt very heavy like someone was sitting on my chest. I took my right hand to the side of my head and then brushed it over my face.Peeling faces, very crimson eyes!These two images flashed through my mind and I suddenly became alert, all the lethargy leaving me.I jumped to my feet and ran barefooted to the mirror at the side and looked into it, I let out a breath of relief.My eyes were back to the old nondescript color. But what happened? Last time, they were very crimson, just like…“Lord Stephan!” I yelped suddenly and then cupped my mouth, afraid that someone might have heard me.It was all coming back to me now, I had just escaped the thugs Lady Vanessa sent after me when I had some sort of

She came down there to supervise his demise but she never planned to actually face him.That was the whole point of a well calculated ambush. How did everything go wrong? Why didn’t Damon inform them that he was coming?Was he in on the whole plan? So many thoughts were running through

He never liked the old man for one day, why was he here pretending like he was hurt?“His weak ass should have retired months ago, he got what he wanted,” I said.Vane gave me a sharp look and then his face turned dark with a frown, he shook his head, “Could you not be a normal person for once? Would it kill you to show some sympathy?”I sneered in his face, “Would it kill you to stop pretending and kissing ass all the time? Could you not show your true self for once?”A low growl escaped Vane’s throat as he glared at me, I could see the visible effort he was putting in to control himself.“If I were you, I would be careful how I talked, the Chief is not around to keep you safe any longer,” he said and then looked away from me.I grinned, “That’s more like it, say things like you mean it, life’s more fun that way.” He looked back at me and then he

I could not see it. Just a second ago, before her monstrous transformation, she licked her bloodied nails.If she scratched me with mere nails, I should have effortlessly healed from it but the fact that I wasn’t healing meant that she used silver. Where was it?If I didn’t know, I could not recklessly attack her again, I could end up dead. My heart was thumping in my chest, this was terrifying and at the same time exciting.As wolves, we loved to fight, it was our nature and ever since I was little, I had been fighting but as I grew older, the fights grew easier and easier until it didn’t feel like a fight anymore.That was why I was so stunned by Damon, he was the first wolf who I had ever met that was able to really hurt me

It was littered with the corpses of both witches and Elite Guards.“How many casualties did we sustain?” Vane was asking one of the officers.I was just absent-mindedly paying attention to their conversation, my thoughts however were fixed on how alpha Michael had easily evaded my trap.Did he know? Once again I didn’t think so but then again, it was hard to explain what had just happened here.“Sire, no survivors and the Wolf Killer is not among the dead,” another officer reported.Baylor was not here… where could he be? Still with Lady Cecile if I was to guess, what about the Old Crone?Stephan had been sent after her. Did he succeed in getting her or was there still a chance that the ambush could happen?I realized that I was just doing wishful thinking to keep hope alive and I hated it. But I was not wrong,

I sighed, all I’ve wanted since he came here was to rock his jaw with my fist but I was scared of doing that in front of the alpha.Damon’s whole plan was to make me look bad in front of the alpha, I could not give him the satisfaction of success.“What else but to shoot his mouth off,” I said.“I don’t know why you tolerate him, if I were you, I would have fucked him up a long time ago,” Claude said.I chuckled and then became serious, “We have a new mission.”“Oh c’mon,” Claude threw up his hand in frustration. “Can’t we catch a break?”“It is from the alpha himself,” I looked at him.Claude stiffened and became serious as he met my gaze.“That’s what I thought… gather the rest of the squad immediately, I’ll brief them.”He ran off.Not long after that, Claude, Flint, Louis and Hayes were all gathered round

If the Supreme Mother came out of hiding all the way to Dragon’s Foot then it was likely that she had somehow found out that he was here.If that was the case then allowing herself to be sighted was done to lure him into some sort of trap. If West was where she wanted him to go, the west was definitely where he would not go.It had been a long time since he had been out and actively involved in a hunt like this but his senses had not dulled one bit.

Alpha Michael had managed to fuck me in the most unbelievable way possible and now I was left holding my balls in my hands.I got up from the tree trunk that I was sitting on and looked at him, “If I were you, I would stop baring my teeth and lock in.”“Yes sire!” he saluted and then ran off.I sighed, I was not going to give up that easily. There were still witches lying in ambush in the west. As long as we walked into that ambush, I was sure that I could find a chance to take out the alpha.This would have gone a lot better if the damn Old Crone and the Wolf Killer were in the loop and knew what our plan was.I could not believe that right now I was needing the help of the wolf killer of all people. He was good at what he did, with him at my side, I would feel a lot more confident taking on
