Elena’s POVThe war was over. We had won. Beta Joshua was dead and all of his allies had met the same fate. The rogues had been destroyed and there was nothing left to fight for. The sweet taste of victory lingered on my lips like the faint hint of a triumphant smile. It was a flavor I'd savored before, but never quite like this. This time, it was tinged with the bitter notes of revenge, finally achieved after what felt like an eternity.I couldn't help but relive the events building up to this victory as I stood tall and revelled in the soldiers’ admiration. We had been through all of these challenges together as one family for a short period.The rage, the agony, and the resolve all blended into a powerful mixture that was the bane of every one of my actions. I could still see the image of my Beta Joshua’s dead face in my head, contorted with shock and defeat. I'd kept that picture close to my heart, watching it repeatedly like a favourite movie. It was an exhilarating feeling to h
Elena’s POVThey didn’t see us coming. They never expected that we would infiltrate their gathering and cause chaos before giving the signal to the rest of the troops to launch an attack from the outside to the inside. If there was one thing that they didn’t prepare for, it was how to defend against being ambushed.Throughout their years of training, they focused on being a surprise attack. They made it their mission to be very good at it because that was what Beta Joshua made them believe was necessary. They were his shadow army operating in the darkness and they didn’t need to learn all the elements of war, they only needed to focus on what was necessary for his plans and that was his folly. They were entirely clueless on what they should do as we methodically killed them, one rogue at a time, spreading false rumors and starting street fights and before they could realize that they were being played by infiltrators, the rest of our troops had gotten here to give us the much needed
Elena’s POVI’ve always heard the rumor but I never believed any of it to be true until today. After Ella and Mrs. Rhinehart’s banishment, the Stroga and Wayland wolves went after the various heads of each of the royal families and put them to death while installing new leaders who swore fealty to the throne. But when it came to Ella’s grandfather, they killed everyone, saving the head of the family for last. Their bloodline was wiped off the face of the earth for good and their name was forbidden in the pack. And after that, we went after the Rogues hiding in their various locations. After a couple of searches, we found a lot of empty Rogue hideouts with a handful of guards that we dismantled easily.After excruciating investigations, the guards confessed that they were all meeting at the headquarters today on the orders of their leader. So we confirmed the story from a couple of more guards in different locations before we set all the camps on fire, sparing no one and nothing.The
Elena’s POV“What are you talking about, Alpha Jake? This wasn’t the agreement that I made with Alpha Lukan before I spilled my guts out to him about everything my dead husband was planning.” “Is that so, Mrs. Rhinehart?” Jake asked, an amused look on his face. “Yes. He said that if I told him everything I knew without hiding any bit of information, he would spare my life and that of my daughter as well. That was the agreement we made and now that I’ve kept my word, it’s up to him to keep his side of the bargain.” She said. “There’s something you’re failing to realize and it’s funny to see you both genuinely confused in all honesty. I’m having the time of my life just staring at your faces.” Jake laughed. “Can we get right into it, please? What are you talking about, Jake?” Ella asked. She was crying again, the nasty gash on her face was starting to close up but her face would never return to what it was before. I made sure of that. “It’s Alpha Jake to you,” He snapped at her be
Elena’s POVI figured that there was no use prolonging the situation any longer because we needed to sort this out as quickly as possible. “We managed to extract the last part of the plan from Joshua’s wife and we now know what his end goal was—up until that point at the least,” Lukan said. “I don’t quite understand what you’ve just said,” Jake said. “Let me break it down for you then. His wife told us that for the past decade, Joshua has been training rogues in different locations in the region preparing for this day and the number of wolves in his arsenal should number over a thousand and they’re all as fierce as they come.” Lukan said. The Wayland brothers were taken aback by what they had just heard. “And—and… you’re sure that she’s telling the truth? I mean, that’s a—““You need to breathe, James. I listened to every word she said and not once did her heartbeat falter. Everything she said is true. These rogue facilities are real and we need to do something about them now.” L
Elena’s POVSpeak of the devil and they appear. The Wayland brothers were back from their ambush on Beta Joshua and I wondered how it had gone. Lukan instructed them not to come back if they didn’t have him in their custody and from what I could see, he wasn’t with them. Lukan had noticed it as well and he let out a low growl but he didn’t say anything. “They were in on it as well?” Jake asked, his eyes moving past us to where Ella and her mother still sat, speaking in hushed tones. On another occasion, I would’ve been interested in what they had to say but I had bigger fish to fry and there was none bigger than the status of Beta Joshua and how the ambush went. “I believe you have something a lot more serious to talk to me about before you ask me about those women, isn’t that right?” Lukan asked. “We dealt with it—to be honest, it wasn’t in the way you wanted it—but we had no choice. It was either that or we continued to go back and forth so I made the decision to activate code
