Xavier walked up to Alpha Joharres and the Alpha’s claws sharpened immediately.“There is no need for that, Alpha Joharres,” Xavier frowned. “Let us be smart and avoid certain doom, all of us. Leave your ancestral home and live. Stay and die. Which do you choose?”“I would rather stay and die fighting for what I know is mine,” Alpha Joharres grunted back. “It’s a coward who would run away at the first sight of danger and I’m not one so if you’re here to convince me about giving up, I’m sorry you’re wasting your time.”“You are not giving up Joharres,” Xavier replied, his eyes fixed on the Alpha. Joharres stared at him wondering what he meant and Xavier whispered in his ears.“You are not giving up by deciding to leave a piece of land behind. I left mine to come and help you. I left it almost totally unguarded. Do you think I didn’t have a plan when I left it?”“I trust you did,” Joharres grunted sarcastically. “And what is this your master plan all about huh? I would really love to he
“I don’t like the sound of that,” someone said from the crowd. “You sound just like your father. You want to use us to win a battle that is not ours.”“I sacrificed my sister’s life for you all to live,” Xavier said, not even bothering to find the exact person from the crowd that had made the statement. “I would not have any of you bring up doubts about my integrity. No one was forced to be here. If you don’t want to be under my jurisdiction, you are very free to become a rogue. You can leave us if you like.”They all remained silent and Xavier turned to Jimin. “Lets get going. We have to hit the second pack before daylight.”Megan murmured something and Xavier could guess that she was complaining about having to cover such a long distance over the night but that wasn’t his concern. Jimin’s face was clouded and he knew that there was something that his Beta was not telling him. “You have something to say to me, say it now,” Xavier whispered in Jimin’s ears and watched as the latter t
Elder Obada sat on the throne with a bored expression on his face. What he had expected when he was subtly taking over the throne from Xavier was very far from what he was seeing and if he had known that things would eventually go that way, he would not have opted for the throne. He would have remained content with his role as the Leader of the Elders. He had managed to convince Xavier to go all the way to the East to fight against Lycans and bring all the werewolves together, thinking that Xavier would die in the process and then he would take over as the Alpha but things were not going as planned. From the report he had received earlier from Xavier, things were going perfectly. Xavier and his warriors had managed to convince the Lycans to leave the East and they had taken over the Mountain Ghost pack and were now regrouping with them towards the South. On the Elder’s ends, things were not looking as rosy. His new subjects were proving to be very difficult and he was having a very ha
Plan B was a simple one, simple but deadly enough to do the job well. Elder Obada knew very well what it meant and he was ready to take the risk as Rhea had double crossed him. As he walked down to his private quarters, he considered it again, wondering if it was really worth it, selling off the pack where he had grown up as a boy for a little bit of power. Power was something that was very important to him. He had grown up from a poor family, one that was downtrodden by almost all the families of the Black Wolf Pack. His family was like the underdog and he had not enjoyed his childhood one bit. His father had managed to rise to fame however at his death. His father had saved a fellow werewolf from a Lycan back then and he was handed with the honorary title of Elder. It was just a decoration of a title however as he was not even allowed into the meetings for the Elders. They all felt he was not close to their league and if not that they were all scared of the Alpha, Dan Damon, they wo
“What did you say happened to Xavier Damon again?” Ghost asked, his eyes fixed on his daughter, Rhea. As smart as she was, she couldn’t figure out why he asked. Rhea did not suspect that her father knew what had transpired back then. She knew very well that Mork was on her side and the rest of the Lycans had sworn their fealties to her first. She was as dangerous as her father was and as such, they could not even dare to think about double crossing her to tell her father. If they dared it, the worst her father would do would he to punish her for a week and when she was back to her position, she would be able to get back at the people that told on her. That was the major reason Rhea was confident that her father did not know what had happened, but with the way he kept asking about how Xavier escaped, she was sure that he was suspecting foul play.“Xavier Damon fights better than most of us think, father,” Rhea said. “He ambushed us at the East when we were fighting against the Mountain
Rhea stared at her father in shock.“Father?”“Don’t you dare father me!” Ghost thundered and turned immediately to face Mork. “Commander Mork, take the princess captive and keep her in the dungeons. That would be her new home from this day until the end of the war.”Rhea flashed a quick gaze at Mork that Ghost did not fail to take note of. He could see very well the look of fear in Mork’s eyes, that brief hesitation before moving towards Rhea at his second call.“So you not only go behind me to do your will,” Ghost frowned. “You also make my soldiers do as you wish.”“Father!” Rhea said walking up to meet Ghost. “Look at who I got you. Layla Damon, the daughter of your enemy and the servant of the moon goddess. She is far more important than Xavier can ever be. I know what I am doing.”“And I do not know what I am doing huh?’ Ghost stared her down. “So let me get this straight. You ran into Xavier Damon at the the Mountain Ghost pack and you made a deal with him. You let him go free
Rhea Damon woke up with a splitting headache, and in an unfamiliar location. The whole place smelled like urine and she could easily have puked out her dinner, except that she wasn’t sure she had any. Her head was throbbing and her stomach was rumbling. She stood up from the cold wet floor and spun around quickly, assessing the place she was in. She sighed at the realization of where she was. She was in the last cell of the dungeons, the exact cell her father, Ghost had kept her mother for a few years before she died. Rhea had very vague memories of her mother, Elena but she remembered that her mother was a good person. Elena never told her categorically to fight for someone or against. She always encouraged her to do what was right and be at peace with herself and all her life, Rhea had struggled with the littlest of decisions. Schooling with humans was tough for her and a few times she blew her cover and then daddy had to come and clean up the mess which involved taking out everyone
“Sir?” Steve stood up immediately. “What exactly do you want me to tell your daughter.”“Good we are on the same page now,” Ghost smiled. “I don’t care what you want to tell her, as long as the two of you break up after your text.”“Give me just a minute sir,” Steve said bringing out his phone from his pocket. Ghost smiled at him and sat down admiring the house and after about two minutes, Steve looked up at him.“I’m done sir,” Steve smiled. “Take a look at it for yourself.”Ghost stared at his phone screen and a frown creased across his face. “A little too harsh for my daughter but I think that is exactly what she needs at the moment. Thank you for your help. Here’s your money.”Ghost dropped the suitcase in front of him and Steve stared at him, too scared to even touch the money. “Sir, are you sure about this?”“Yes of course,” Ghost smiled. “You think it is too much for you?”“It’s a lot sir,” Steve nodded. “I would remain indebted to you all my life.”“All your life,” Ghost laugh
