Chapter 176Sophia's POVSandra sat down, still in shock at what I just said, "Wait, you mean, Derrick and you communicate periodically right?"I nodded my head, "If you guys do that, how come you still haven't figured out the different pack you are?"I returned my gaze to her, "Help me with water, and for your question I have no idea. When it gets to time to speak about something important, it's either I pass out or something else happens."She reached for the glass of water behind her and handed it over to me, "How many times has this happened?"I gazed at the ceiling trying to recollect how many times it happened, "Let's say this is the fifth time such a thing is happening. And it's fucking tiring.""My God, does your brother know about this?' I shook my head, "He doesn't know about it, I don't think there's any need to tell him about it since the communication hasn't yielded anything positive."She shook her head, putting on a disagreeing look, "No, no, no, that's unfair, it's unf
Chapter 177Alpha Brandon's POVWe were all seated in my office, as we went through different files which were compiled by John. "John, where did you get these files from?""It's confidential, I am sorry I can't let you in on my source," he replied, not taking his gaze away from the papers he was reading.I stood up and walked towards him, "Come on, it won't take you anything if you open up to me where you got this from, you know right?" He nodded his head and walked towards me, "Yeah, I am aware of it, but I chose to be quiet about it. I don't give my source of information out to people."I sat down beside him gazing at him, I wasn't going to leave until he told me his source. It seems funny to me that as the Alpha of the pack, I don't even have any source. Whereas my Beta, who has been here for just five years has not only one source. He has five to seven sources, isn't that crazy?"He exhaled and raised his head gazing at me, "Come on, we have a lot of work to do, I promise to let
Alpha Brandon's POVWe ate till we were satisfied, the cookies in the three trays were much. "Did you make this or the maids did?" John asked as he took a bite from the cookie in his hand."I made it John, you don't like it or what?" Sandra asked."I don't like it, I love it," he replied. I saw the smile on her face and my heart melted, "Thanks, John.""You are welcome," John replied with his gaze on me, nodding his head. He was trying to pass a message to me, but I couldn't phantom what he was trying to say. I looked at Sophia who was standing behind Sandra, she waved her hands at me, trying to communicate with me with sign language. I still couldn't decode what message she was trying to pass to me.All this while Sandra's gaze was on me, she was about to speak when Alpha Caleb spoke up, "Sandra, I think at this point I am jealous and might kidnap you."She turned towards him smiling, "What do you mean by that? Why will you kidnap me?"He walked towards her slowly with his hands in h
Alpha Derrick's POVI sat down, thinking about Joy's reply, she was to give me an answer. I pray she agrees to come with me, somehow I feel something magical will happen if she comes with me.I paced to and fro looking waiting for her, when my wolf spoke up, "Calm down dude, even if she doesn't come with you on this journey or quest of yours. The team you have chosen can help you achieve that which you desire, right?" I nodded my head, "I believe they are up to the task, but I need her with me. What I am about to say might sound foolish, but she's the only one I trust with my life. It's not like I don't trust others, she's the only one I know would be of help to me if trouble arises. Do you understand what I mean?""I understand, well I think what you should be more worried about is the welfare of Sophia," my wolf said while I walked to have my seat."Why should I get worried? She said she's fine, didn't you hear her?""I did, but I feel she isn't fine, I don't know how to explain it
Chapter 180Alpha Derrick's POVMy bed was filled with clothes, I stared at the clothes and wished I had superpowers that would help me pack the clothes into my bag. I exhaled and got to work, it wasn't a big deal for me, the only difference between what I was doing and what I did then was the location.Then I was heading to packs to train and learn more about being an alpha, but this time around I am going on a mission to find my mate and reunite with my family. One after the other, I folded the clothes into the bag, this took me about thirty minutes.By the time I was done, I was exhausted, I sat on my bed breathing heavily looking around. "What's next?" "Your team, you haven't even checked up on them," my wolf replied. Immediately I stood up and reached for my door, I walked out of my room and walked into the elevator which took me to the large hall.I got there, but there was no one present, so I decided to check up on Joy in her room. I got into the elevator and down I went, the
Alpha Brandon's POVOur gaze was fixed on Alpha Caleb as he wrote down the name of the Alpha, he wrote on the board Alpha Victor."What?" Sophia gasped looking shocked, "What is it? Do you know him?" She clung to her neck, breathing hard as she nodded her head."Who's he, talk to me," I said as I moved towards her. From the way she responds, I feel there's something tragic about that name, the only way I can find out is by getting her to talk about it."He is the alpha of our pack, not only that he is our stepfather," she whispered looking scared, "Our stepfather? You mean the man that Mum married after Dad's death?"She nodded her head, "That man is evil, he's an evil brother. He is evil.""Evil, what do you mean, talk to me, how's he evil?" We all turned towards her."He was the one who offered me to Alpha Caleb, and when Alpha Caleb rejected me, he sold me to Alpha Derrick. Not only that he mistreated me during my stay with him, he maltreated me, he also did the same with Mum," she
Alpha Brandon's POVAlpha Caleb started chuckling, "I have an idea, though it doesn't look great, but it will surely be of help.""Spill it, I am listening," I said and sat up, he nodded his head, and also sat up, "Right now we don't have a lot of information and we just can't act like that. How about we send a spy to get information for us?"John sat up, clapping his hands, "Exactly, that was the same idea that came across my mind, why don't we get someone to penetrate the pack? The job of this individual will be to send us vital information not about the pack, but about Alpha Victor, his movements, where he goes to, and the rest."I kept quiet as I pondered on what they just said, "Do you guys think this is the best thing to do?"They nodded their heads, "It's the best thing to do, we can't act without information. We need information to act, don't you think?" Sandra asked."Yeah, we need information to act, I believe, now the big question is who is going to be the spy. It can't be
Alpha Brandon's POV(Two Days Later)We were all seated in my office as we awaited the spy, I glanced at my wristwatch, "John, it's been two hours, and he hasn't shown up.""Be patient man, he will be here soon," John replied, and just then the door opened and a short dark dark-skinned man walked in and walked straight to John. They both shook hands, John stood up and cleared his throat, gazing at me, "Alpha Brandon, please meet my trusted spy, I call him Wisdom.""Wisdom meet Alpha Brandon," I stood up and we both shook hands, "You are welcome Wisdom.""Thank you, sir, it's an opportunity to meet you, can we please go ahead?" He asked and I nodded my head, "Hold on, hold on, don't be too fast, won't you get to know who the rest are? John asked.Wisdom exhaled, "Go on boss, I am listening." John pointed to Alpha Caleb, "That's Alpha Caleb, you know the name of his pack right?" Wisdom nodded his head."That's Sophia, Alpha Brandon's sister, and seated beside her is Sandra, Alpha Brando
The journey was long and arduous, each step bringing them closer to their destination and Derrick felt a sense of purpose driving him forward all through. A determination to bring an end to the man that had plagued their pack for far too long.As they neared Victor's hideout, Derrick could feel the tension mounting. But he pushed aside his fears, focusing instead on the task at hand as they prepared to face whatever awaited them.His men waited behind while a handful of them followed the prisoner. Finally, they reached their destination, a discarded building hidden deep within the forest, its walls cloaked in shadows as if hiding secrets of their own. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest as he surveyed the scene before him. His senses were on high alert as he realized he never could have expected Victor to use a place like this.The prisoner led them inside, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as they moved deeper into the darkness. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest a
Derrick leaned forward, his eyes locked onto the prisoner's face, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Where is Victor?" he demanded, his voice edged with urgency. "And who were you running from?"The man took a deep breath, his gaze flickering between Derrick and Brandon as he weighed his words carefully. "It's a complicated matter, Alpha Derrick. You see, we were about to leave for battle," he began, his voice low and hesitant. "But when we went to check on Alpha Victor, he wasn't there. I went to call him from his hideout, and when I arrived, I saw him... I saw him with his fingers on the floor, chanting words."A shiver ran down Derrick's spine at the man's words, a cold knot of dread forming in the pit of his stomach. Whatever Victor was up to, it was clear that it was something far more sinister than they had anticipated."And who were you running from?" Derrick pressed his voice tight with apprehension.The man swallowed hard, his eyes darting nervously around the room before
Back at the pack house, Derrick wasted no time in implementing his plan. As his men corralled and subdued Victor's fleeing warriors, he issued orders with precision and authority."Detain them all," he commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos of the captured men being brought in. "Lock them up tight. We need to find out what's going on."His soldiers moved swiftly, their movements coordinated and efficient as they ushered the prisoners into makeshift holding cells, their hands bound securely behind their backs.Once they were all secured, Derrick made his way to the cells, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as he approached the captives. His eyes scanned the faces of the defeated men, searching for any sign of weakness or defiance."Who's in charge here?" Derrick demanded, his voice cold and authoritative as he addressed the group.A tense silence hung in the air for a moment before a man stepped forward, his demeanor defiant despite his predicament. "I am," he replied,
It's been several weeks since Derrick was able to escape the attack, reuniting him with his Sophia and son, Tate. But they knew they couldn't rest. Alpha Victor was still out there, plotting goddess knows what. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape as Sophia stood in the fading light, her hands clasped tightly in prayer. The soft rustle of the wind through the trees was the only sound, mingling with the murmured words of her entreaty to whatever higher power might be listening."Please, let him come back to us. Keep him safe, watch over him," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and hope. "Guide his steps, shield him from harm, and bring him home victorious."Tears glistened in her eyes as she finished her prayer, a silent plea hanging in the air as she gazed out into the distance, willing her words to reach her husband wherever he may be.Behind her, Derrick emerged from the dressing area, his eyes tender as he watched
Sophia's POVSomehow I felt Brandon was part of the people admitted, I went with Brandon and we walked into the ward where the two strangers were kept.My gaze traveled to the bed and there he was seated beside a lady on the bed, "Derrick," I muttered. Immediately he stood up and ran towards Brandon, they did a handshake, which I have only seen Brandon do with Alpha Caleb."Welcome Alpha Brandon," he said and I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears, Brandon is an alpha? He stood gazing at me, we kept mute staring at each other with tears rolling down his eyes and mine.We moved at the same time and we hugged each other, it was so priceless. This is a moment I have been longing for over the past months, to be in his embrace. We hugged for a few minutes, as he ran his hands through my hair, while he patted me on my back."I have missed you, my love," he muttered as he sobbed."I have missed you also, what took you so long?" I asked sobbing, we disengaged from the hug staring at each o
Alpha Brandon's POVA few meters from Alpha Victor's pack, Wisdom asked that I bring the car to a stop, I did while waiting for his next instructions."We won't be allowed to get in because we aren't part of the pack, we need another means to get in," Wisdom said as he took off his seatbelt.I did the same and we came out of the car, "Come with me, keep your eyes open and your ears open."Caleb and I nodded our heads as we walked with him along a bushy path, it was a long walk, but the distance wasn't the problem. What we had our mind fixed on was how we were going to get her out of the dungeon he kept her.As we moved, we stopped right at the front of a rock, which seemed like the end of the road. "Where are we heading to?" Caleb asked, breathing heavily."Inside the rock, it leads straight to the basement," he muttered and we were both shocked.I had to look at the rock again, "How do we get in, there's no opening anywhere and how sure are you about this?""I am fucking sure because
