Chapter 11

Blue's POV

I woke up a few hours later after vomiting a lot. I had the pack's doctor come check me out, and we had an understanding between ourselves to keep it a secret. One person is a lot to keep a secret, but then, she dares not reveal the secret.

I had flashbacks of how I had shouted at Maverick, and threatened him too, and I hissed at myself in disappointment.

“Maybe it's good.” I muttered to myself. “I'll have to kill him eventually, so.”

I got out of bed, and I made my way downstairs. The pack was still working on what I had asked them to do. Kylie was overseeing the computer geeks we had in the pack. Allison was working on something I couldn't see clearly.

They all stood to greet as I walked in. I folded my arms, and took a deep breath.

“Allison, where are we with the cartel leader?” I asked. “Do we have a meeting set?”

“Yes Alpha. It's by midnight, and it's with the Dark Haven cartel, their Don is Oliver West.” Allison said, and I gave a quick nod.

“Let everyone get ready for that when the time is right. We aren't going in blind.” I said. “Get drones ready, everything and anything. I want eyes and ears everywhere, and if it comes that we can get visual and solid proof that all these is a scam, don't hesitate to take it.”

“Yes Alpha!” They echoed.

“And Kylie?” I turned to look at him.

“Nobody has been able to find traces. Both in and out of the pack house.” Kylie said, making me sigh again. “But we still have everyone working on it.”

“You can let it be for now.” I sighed. “The cartel had the effrontery to put us in this situation, the only leverage they have has to be really good.”

“You can still have a few people working on it, but don't let it work you out.”

“Yes Alpha!” They echoed again.

Kylie's phone rang while I was still standing up and pacing round. He seemed to have a pretty quick conversation regarding Billy Campbell, and there was only one person that came to mind. The only person that has been on my mind; Maverick.

“Who was that?” I asked, and Kylie moved closer to me.

“Maverick.” Kylie said, breathing calmly. “He asked after you.”

Why would he do that? After how I had been rude to him? Why?

“What does he want?” I asked.

“Files on Sasha Campbell. He thinks their assassinations are related.”

“He's an intelligent one, isn't he?” I chuckled. “Hand the files over to me, I'll give them to him by morning, but first, let everyone get ready for this cartel nonsense we'd be having.”

“Okay Alpha.”

Midnight came faster than expected, but I was still texting Luca. All of a sudden, he was interested in my well-being and every other thing. I was trying to starve him of attention, but I was the depraved one, and I kept giving him twice the energy he was giving until Kylie came to knock at the door.

I purposely left my phone in the room to avoid speaking with him.

The drive to the Dark Haven Cartel wasn't so long.

“Do you need a gun? Alpha?” Kylie asked and I scoffed.

“The last person that used a gun on me had his arms and legs broken just when he pulled the trigger.” I replied, getting off the car.

I walked inside with several of the pack still outside. I was only with Kylie, Ara and Allison. The rest were controlling our eyes and ears, with hopes that we'd have something really substantial against them.

I came face to face with Oliver West, the current source of my anger. There was a smirk on his face, and the scar that ran through it made it look a little sinister.

“Ruins!” He called my alias. “The great Ruins.”

“Can we cut the small talk and just get to the important part of all these madness?” I asked, keeping a very straight face.

“Straight to business I see.” He said keeling a smug smile.

“So, what do you want to discuss?” Oliver asked.

“Why you framed me for what I have nothing to do with?” I snapped at him, almost letting my wolf out.

“I didn't frame you for nothing.” Oliver said calmly. “If there's any reason you're here, it's because you or your pack did whatever was said that you did.”

“Then, what would you call the video you doctored and sent to me?” I asked, hoping to catch him in a lie.

“Real life events, Ruins.” He chuckled. “If you think I'd really say anything that would make you one bit free from this thing you're in, you should really think again.”

“I know that you've got the best machineries, and maybe everyone is trying to catch me say something wrong, but trust me , it won't work.” He smirked. “So, give up on that shit, and let's work together.”

I took two steps closer to him, meeting him eyeball to eyeball since we both have the sake height.

“I detest being dared, but you've done it already, and I'll come at you with full force.” I growled .

“Do anything stupid? And that video is all over the wolf net. I don't want to ruin you, so don't test me.” Oliver said.

I angrily turned back, and I left. Oliver laughed as I walked out. I was as cool as I could be. I never let my anger show in my voice anytime I'm outside the pack, that's one of the reasons I'm greatly feared.

We drove back to the pack, and I didn't say one word till we were back at the pack. I kept silent, thinking about my next line of action.

“Did any of you get anything?” Kylie asked immediately we walked into the house.

“No, beta.” They responded.

“The place was airtight as fuck. It was as if they knew that we might try to catch them in a lie or some crazy shit.” One of them said.

“None of that matters anymore.” I said, and they all turned to look at me. “We are going to rain down hell on them.”

“Get ready to destroy the Dark Haven cartel. Let's put this shit behind us already.”

The pack cheered as I spoke. It had been almost a month since we had proper action on the battlefield, and now, a cartel god wannabe has given us the opportunity.

I was walking back to the room when Kylie caught up to me. He was holding a file in his hand.

“What is it?”

“Everything on Sasha Campbell. I got it last night, but I didn't have the chance to hand it over.” He said.

“Tell Allison to get the car ready, we're going to NYU.”
