Chapter 3

   Bernard pov …

   I walked into a dark tunnel from a distance I could hear a man screaming in pain.

   ' Ahh…please am sorry ..please "

  I continued to whistle a song my mother usually sings for me whenever she wants to toss me to bed as I approach a warehouse that was built don't the outskirts of the city. When I arrived, I met beta Lucas torturing a young man, The man was tied to a wooden chair and his fingers were chopped off one after the other.

  " Please have mercy on me I don't know why am been punished, Please sir have mercy on me " 

   " James Miles, How are you doing? " I walked up to him and knelt in front of him.

 " Am not fine sir, I mean why am I here sir I have been very committed to you " when I heard the word commitment a bright smile appeared on my face.

  " Speaking of commitment Jame, why were you trying to sell my company shares, I could remember the warning I gave you the last time I came back from my trip remember huh"

  " I don't know what you talking about sir, but I have never thought about selling your company shares "

  " A criminal will never accept his crimes until they a severely punished for it " I shook my head in pity poor thing, then I turned to beta Lucas "

  " Chopping his hands of wouldn't be enough, I want him begging for death to take him right before my eyes "

  " Yes boss " 

    Lucas picked up a saw and begin to chop off his fingers, one after the other until nothing was remaining "

  " Are you ready to talk now " He was losing a lot of blood, He couldn't say a word he only nodded his head in agreement

   " Yes..yes..am ready to speak..please..please have mercy "

  " I can't hear you please could you speak loud "

  " Please…please…Sir Bernard. spare my life, I beg of you, please my mother was sick and I seriously needed the money for her treatment "

  " So you thought the best way to get money so your mother's treatment is to sell some shares of my company and you, my dear thought I wouldn't find out right? 

  "No…no..the offer was huge that I couldn't think twice before selling please "

  "How much did Robinson offer you "I sat on the chair, crossed my legs against each other waiting patiently for an answer.

  " It's… it's… 200million dollars  " When I heard the amount, I burst into laughter.

  " 200 million dollars, you James miles sold twenty percent of my company shares for 200million dollars and you were planning to leave the country with your family right? "

  "It was my wife's idea, am sorry sir please forgive me…i..don't want to die please " he burst into tears " You should have known that No one touches what belongs to me and get away with it, you should have known James "

  " Am sorry…sir "He continued to scream out loud ``please sir forgive me please don't kill me, sir. I promise it won't happen again. I was driven by greed and a quest for money. Please sir have mercy, my wife is pregnant if you kill me, who's going to take care of her please ."

 I wasn't ready to continue listening to this fool, so I turned to Lucas and signaled him to finish the job.

   Lucas who was standing behind James all this while, bought out a gun and pulled the trigger, 

  " Boom!" His lifeless body fell to the ground "

  Suddenly I felt a strange wind approaching me, I knew at that instant that it was an uninvited guest. My fang became visible and my claws also became visible to the wolf in me and became restless, it was threatening to come out, but I had to hold it back.

  " Show yourself " 

  "Surprise! " The person hiding in a dark corner stepped out and walked into the room. I was indeed surprised to see Kane here in the warehouse.

  " What are you doing here Kane, you are supposed to rest, What the hell are you doing here?

   " Wow…calm down bro, What were you expecting, you let us all back at the pack and you are here in the human world doing what, taking care of business as usual "

  " Moonlight pack is fine without me Kane "

  " Only if they have a luna, it's time to come back home Bernard we are on the verge of war.

  " War!" I narrowed my eyes at him 

  " What are talking about Kane"

  " The Blue Moon pack are on the verge of waging war against us, they are that our alpha has been absent for a while now, so the pack sent me to ask you to return or there is going to be a revote and you know what that means right " He winked his eyes at me.

  " Tell them I will be coming back soon with my luna by my side "

  " What!! Kane and Lucas screamed out in surprise 

  " Yes I have found my luna "

  " What do you mean, you have found your luna what happens to Athena then."

  " What do you mean, nothing is going to happen to her Kane or is she dying anytime soon " I answered him sarcastically.

  " What do you mean by that Bernard " with the tune of his voice one could tell he was trying so hard to keep his emotion in check. " Where is she from "

  " Who?"

  " Your mate is she from midnight pack, shadow pack. "

  " None kane "

  " Then I think you are trying to make an excuse, just because you want to dump Athena "

  " Am not making excuses kane, I have found my mate and my luna

  " So where the fuck is she from?" 

  " She's a human "

  " What!!" I gave them a hard pill to swallow, the both of them kept staring at me with their mouths opened wide "

   Kane couldn't control his anger anymore.

  " So you what to dump my sister because of a fucking human "

  " You should be careful with your words kane that human is my mate and your luna "

  " That's impossible, you know the pack wouldn't accept that you know it so I will advise you, Bernard remove every thought about her and come back to the pack and make Athena your luna "

    I retrieve my fang and claw the sat down on the king-sized chair in front of me.

   "Are you saying this because she's your sister "

  " No! It's because I want the best for our pack, Bernard humans are weak they can fight when a war breaks out except for their technology they don't know how to defend themselves. To keep our pack stronger, we need to continue the circle "

   At this point, my anger knew no limit, I disappeared and appeared in front of him then grabbed his neck and slammed him on the wall.

   " Now listen to be kane you will never speak of your luna in such a condescending manner I hope am understood "

   " Yes…yes..my alpha "

  " Good " I dropped him on the floor and then, turned to leave, but I stopped in my track and then turned to look at Lucas and Kane.

  " Make sure you clear this mess and get rid of the body I don't want any mistakes "

  " Yes boss " They answered at the same time.
