CHAPTER 181AUTHOR'S POV:"Anything? By anything, do you mean anything?" Leo asked him again just so he could be sure."Don't be a dumbass, I've got no time on my hands. Spit out" Discord turned his wrist to check his wristwatch."In exchange for that flash drive, I need you to convince Safari to release everyone he held captive on the 30th of last month. In addition to doing that, I'll make sure to retrieve the news and make a public announcement that it was a fake mix-up. That would be a valid argument. Not only will you be free. Your family will be able to trust in you again."It was a tempting offer and Leo expected Discord to take the bait. After all, he had learned that each member of the Grandmasters was proportionally selfishUnexpectedly, Discird was fast to recognize the trick Leo was trying to play. The trick was to set him up with the rest of the Grandmasters!'Does this bastard want to set me up?' Discord asked in his mind. He couldn't believe that Leo took him for a fool
CHAPTER 182AUTHOR'S POV:The Grandmasters...Safari walked around the safety of his room, a glass of whiskey in his hand. He was simply in a dilemma as to what to do with the information Discord had just passed across.The problem was not in sending armed men to the place. The problem was simply the fact that those bastards could expose him too if he made the wrong move. One wrong move and everything he had worked for as a human trafficker, would just like a castle built in the air, crumble like a pack of sand.Who was going to save him now? He pondered and turned his wrist from time to time to check the time. Yet, time was passing and nothing was coming to his muscled mind.Another thought also crossed his mind. Could he afford to bear the loss that came with losing an entire day's work which didn't begin that night?Oftentimes, he'd always strategize and restrategize before he got the number of people he needed. Just when he thought he would actualize the number and finally pay for
CHAPTER 183AUTHOR'S POV:30 minutes earlier...Thirty minutes earlier, Discord had just shot a gun at Leo but he successfully dodged.This had angered Leo so much because he had not intended to harm Discord. He had planned to stay through to the word of his bargain. If Discord made them release his friends he would hand over the flash drive as well as clean up the mess created by the media.Leo frowned hard. He hated the fact that Discord had taken him for a fool just now this made him remember what he had done to Ava. Discord had shot Ava with the gun containing wolfsbane poison and now, he was doing this. Everything just kept aggravating the situation.Something snapped in Leo and his eyes changed color.He collected the gun from him in a fit of rage and watched him collapse to the floor."If wolfsbane is good, why don't you get your dose of it." Leo looked around at Discord's men and they only appeared feeble to him. He could finish them all in seconds but he only wanted to do thi
AUTHOR'S POV:"Hello. Who the fuck are you?" Safari asked, reminding himself that he was the indomitable guy who had been fearless since age ten."I am Leonard and you must be Safari." Leo hoped that he was right because this same number was the last Discord answered."Listen to me," Safari bellowed, his voice sounded threatening."I need you to release the flash drive, hand it over to Discord, or else..."Safari drawled."Or what?""I kill the werewolves. I'll eliminate your stupid kind!" He yelled, trying to scare Leo."Why don't you hold on because I have a present for you?" Leo grinned smugly.Safari's face twisted in anger, his anger simmering below the surface, as he asked, "What present, what present you fu -" before he could complete his sentence, the line had already gone dead."That bastard!" Safari growled while standing up to his feet and downing the glass of alcohol in his hand."Who does that bastard think he is, huh?" Safari was angry that Leo had cut the call on him.A
AUTHOR'S POV:Leo got out of the car and he headed straight in a particular direction. Some of the men who were with Leo were already Safari's ex-men before they got hired by Discord, so they easily knew the hideout and the place where Safari's captives were kept.Leo gave an express command. "Seize the keys and free everyone." After entering the place, Leo began looking for Ethan and Billie. He tried using their scents to catch up with them but it their scents only lingered in the atmosphere. Wherever their, scents led, he went there but he would not see them.Worried, he began looking for them. Apart from. The stench of dead rotting bodies also filled the place and he was forced to cover his nose.Some people had been chained for a long time here and some were even chained to their deaths.Leo dialed a number as his right hand held it to his right ear."Drake, I think you need to contact the police on this one. Human trafficking is going on and we need to trap these bad guts and mak
AVA:"Barren witch, what exactly do you think you're still doing with my son? Did you get yourself into his life to destroy him? Answer me, witch!" Clara, my mother-in-law barked and slapped me and I could feel my cheeks heat up as I cupped my cheeks.Damien's sister, Sydney chuckled up beside me."Mum, she looks like we are treating her badly. Why don't we wait till this time next year before we kick her ass out of Damien's life." Then my father-in-law walked in and everywhere went silent. He was the past Alpha and he was supposed to leave the pack on vacation but he had vowed that he was going nowhere till he saw a grandchild."What is going on here?"I turned to him with teary eyes, expecting him to ask me what transpired but I was just about to meet another shocker.Before I could say a word, Clara cleared her throat. "We were just teaching this hag here how to do her business as a woman, we need a pup to retain our son as the Alpha of the pack." She said it like she was doing me
AVA:"Oh, Ava, you've suffered so much. I have to take you to the hospital." My best friend, Audrey crouched down beside me, shaking her head in disbelief at what my mate had done to me.Audrey was my childhood friend and I've lived most of my life knowing her and gosh, how I love the way she supports me.In a nutshell, she was my sister from another mother, 'cause what can I do without her?The moment she heard that I was in bed and wouldn't come out, she was the first to come visit me.See what a good friend she was?"No, Audrey, no one has to know I am being abused, not even the pack doctor," I answered. Damien would get mad at me when people started asking if he was abusing his wife."What do you intend to do? Today is your council of Luna meeting and you must be in pain." Her words sounded like she was pitying me but somehow she sounded insincere."I'll just use ice-cold water on my face and when the time comes, I'll patch up my scars and go for the meeting." As though satisfied
AVA:I have been in this room crying my eyes out for three days and I have seen no food, water, and worse still, no Damien. I wonder if this is how bad he hates me.I came out and got some food into my system before going back into the room again.Stupid me, if Damien comes begging right now, I would certainly forgive him, I just wanted him despite his shortcomings.Someone knocked on the door and I went to open it and to my disappointment, it was a pack warrior. I nodded at him to state his reason for being in my abode."Good morning Luna, Alpha Damien summons you in his chamber now." He said and I tried to read his expression but it was so far concealed, just as warriors were trained to be.I decided to go and find out for myself why he summoned me. The normal me wouldn't go to him though, but the rule in Blue Crest is that the Alpha's word is law. If I refused to do as he said, my door would be kicked down and the next minute, I might find myself kneeling before him. So because I d

CHAPTER 180AUTHOR'S POV:Discord had the place surrounded by his men. There were over 500 men in the vicinity. Their guns and other ammunition stood in front of them, scaring others and onlookers away.Discord marched in front as their leader. Hen entered the place and went to sit on one of the king-sized seats he saw in the place.Pomposity and pride were usually the first weapons he used to surrender his enemies when the need arose. Many a time, when his opponents saw his heavy firearms and squad, they would usually surrender without him firing a single shot. But was he going to win in this mission?"I'm fucking speaking to everyone in this place. There's no need to hide. Come out and let's fight. You know how to run your goddamn mouths to the news but you can't fight, is that it? Hmm?" Using a lighter, Discord lit up a pipe and began smoking.Meanwhile...Drake noiselessly found his way to where Leo was. "Do you think we should call the police? There's a shortage of our men from t
CHAPTER 179AVA'S POV:Drake and other Equators had suggested the exposing of the illegal activities done by Discord stored in that flash drive. The Flash drive also contained the illegal activities done by the notorious Safari and Red Saint's gang respectively.I wonder why Discord kept such a record when he appeared to be discreet enough. Perhaps, he wanted to use it to his advantage in the future.Of course, we had done as planned but we only revealed Discord's misdeed, meaning that we were putting them in a great apprehension of harm to their reputation. Discord was already in danger but as soon as the rest of the group knew about this, they would come running to us in order to cover the truth. The Equators had a media house that they operated discreetly, but even I knew that those miscreants would blow the cover and find us in no time.Picking up a remote, I switched to Channel News. "News Headlines: A man named Discord is the head drug baron in the country. Corruption has eate
CHAPTER 178AUTHOR'S POV:Drake stood behind Leo all through the time he nursed his wife back to health.That meant that he stood behind Leo for the whole day, watching as he touched her lips, cleaned her face, or put her hair in order.Perhaps it was because he was loyal too that he stayed. He stayed to watch the definition of true love as it wowed him speechless.Leo had given his blood and Ava was halfway through the recovery process but he never left her for even an hour to go attend to his needs. His tired eyes were always on her as though she would die if she shut his eyes.Once or twice, Ava had protested, telling him to rest in the night and Leo had pretended to sleep and when he was sure that Ava had slept off, he awoke and continued keeping watch over her."I...I came with your breakfast but I haven't moved from here ever since then. It has pretty much turned cold and I know you won't take it, so, please excuse me. I'll go get dinner." Drake was able to stand for that long b
CHAPTER 177AUTHOR'S POV:"Safari, I've figured out a way to kill those creatures." Discord dropped the bombshell."What way?" Safari enthused. His heart leaped a thousand times as his head swelled with joy. What could that be that could destroy those scrawny creatures that wouldn't just die?Safari watched Discord's lips as they moved to make a speech...Discord couldn't help but make a flashback of what he had said to Safari. He had given a full lecture on how to bring an end to these creatures with the things he had discovered."You could kill them with wolfsbane. Wolfsbane is made from the plant aconitum. The patients allegedly diagnosed with wolfsbane poisoning, usually have a bitter taste in their mouths, followed by numbness and tingling in their faces and bodies, extreme nausea and vomiting, and cardiac arrhythmias and hypotension. Several required critical care has to be taken and if within five minutes, they are not resuscitated, the patients do one thing," Discord waited fo
