Chapter 49DavinaI had just returned from my visit to the orphanage, filled with a deep sense of responsibility to provide a good life for those children. As I drifted off to sleep, my mind still racing with ideas, I found myself in a dream. In this dream, Jason, the beta of our pack and a close friend of our alpha, was after my life.I could feel his presence, lurking in the shadows as I tried to navigate through the woods. Suddenly, he pounced, but I managed to dodge his attack and gain the upper hand. I overpowered him and held him captive."What are you doing, Jason?" I demanded, my heart pounding in my chest."I'm just trying to protect the pack," he replied, his voice strained. "You're too focused on the orphans and not paying enough attention to our own people.""But that's not true," I insisted. "I care about the pack just as much as I care about the orphans. I'm just trying to find a way to provide for everyone."
Chapter 50KeithI sat up in my bed, my mind racing. I had always trusted Jason, and the idea of my friend plotting against me was almost too much to bear. But Davina had never been wrong, and I knew that I had to take her suspicions seriously.I rubbed my eyes and threw on a shirt, making my way to the war room where my commanders were waiting for me. I could tell by the way they stood that they were worried, and I braced myself for the worst."Speak," I said, my voice low and steady.The commander cleared his throat before speaking. "We've captured a group of mercenaries at the border, sir. They were trying to sneak into our territory under cover of darkness.""Mercenaries?" I repeated, his eyebrows furrowing. "Who are they working for?""We don't know, sir. They haven't given us any information yet. But they're well-trained and well-equipped, and we suspect that they were sent by someone who wants to take us do
Chapter 51 JasonI sat at the dining table in my grand, luxurious home, a home that I acquired through my position as the beta of the Antarti pack. The table was made of polished mahogany wood and could comfortably seat eight people. There was a beautiful, intricately designed chandelier hanging above it, and the walls were adorned with expensive paintings and photographs.But despite the opulence around me, I couldn't bring myself to eat. My heart was heavy with guilt and anxiety about the plan I had hatched to overthrow my best friend, the alpha of the Antarti pack. It was a dangerous and risky move, but I had convinced myself it was the only way to take control of the pack and rule it the way I saw fit.As I sat there lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang, jolting me out of my reverie. It was Tobi, my brother, calling to inform me that the mercenaries I had hired to help me overthrow the alpha had arrived. My heart leapt with excitement, but
Chapter 52JasonWith the map in hand, I quickly gathered a team of my most trusted allies from the neighboring pack and set out to rescue my mercenaries. It was a risky move, but I knew that I had to act fast before the alpha found out about my involvement.We drove towards the location of my mercenaries, my heart was pounding in my chest. This was a dangerous mission, and failure could mean certain death for all of us. But I was determined to save my men and to prove to them that I was a leader who would not abandon them.We arrived at the location late at night, under the cover of darkness. The guards were patrolling the perimeter, but we managed to slip past them without being detected. Kyla's map proved to be accurate, and we were able to locate the building where my mercenaries were being held.We crept silently towards the building and listened carefully for any signs of activity. After a few moments, I signaled my loyalist to move in. We burst through the door and took the gua
Chapter 53KeithI sat down on the chair, my heart pounding with anxiety. The prison under attack, and the leader of the mercenaries on the loose - this was not good news. I asked the commander for more information, but he looked hesitant to speak. I could tell there was something he wasn't telling me."What is it?" I asked, my voice low and firm.The commander hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke. "Alpha, we found something at the scene. It's a letter, addressed to you."My eyes widened as the commander handed me the letter. I quickly scanned its contents, my heart sinking with each passing word. It was a threat, from someone who claimed to be a rival pack's alpha. They were demanding that I step down from my position and hand over control of our territory to them. If I refused, they would attack us and our pack.I couldn't believe what I was reading. How could this be happening? We had always been on good terms with our neighboring packs, and I had never had any reason to beli
Chapter 54.DavinaEver since the issue of mercenaries and the prison break, Keith has not been himself again, he is now a withdrawn man, speaking only when it is absolutely necessary. It's like he doesn't trust anyone anymore.So I decided to make a visit to my parents to seek some advice on how to handle issues like this. They are the only ones but I and Keith can seek help at this trying time since Keith's parents are no longer with us.I made my way towards my parents' pack, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. It had been so long since I had last visited them. I wondered how much had changed since then, and how they were doing amidst all the turmoil.As I approached the pack, I was greeted by the sight of their magnificent castle. It was perched on a hill, overlooking the rest of the pack's territory. The castle was made of the finest stone and marble, with intricate carvings and embellishments adorning its walls.
Chapter 55JasonI stand here under the full moon, howling out my pain and frustration, I can't help but feel a sense of deep sadness within me. It's been 5 moons since that fateful day when I attempted to free the mercenaries I hired from Japan, and my life has changed in ways that I never could have imagined.Once I was respected and trusted by the other members of the Antarti pack, but now I'm treated with cold indifference. I'm no longer invited to confidential meetings, and I'm left out of important decisions. It's as if I'm no longer one of them.But I can't blame them for their actions. I knew the risks involved when I hired those mercenaries, and I should have been prepared for the consequences. But I was too blinded by my desire for revenge, too focused on my own selfish goals.Now, as I stand here howling at the moon, I realize that I'm no longer the same person I once was. The guilt and shame of my actions weigh heavily on me, and I know it's just a matter of time before I'
Chapter 56KeithI approached the door, I could see the guards standing tall and vigilant, their eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. The security around the council room was tight, as it always is when important pack matters are being discussed.I nodded to the guards as I passed, acknowledging their presence and their dedication to keeping our pack safe. They responded with a respectful bow, then returned their attention to their posts.As I entered the room, I could feel the tension in the air. It was thick, like a tangible thing that I could almost touch. Everyone was on edge, waiting for my wife and Luna, Davina, to arrive.I walked over to the head of the table and took my seat, trying to steady my nerves as I waited for Davina to appear. I knew that her parents were wise and experienced, and I hoped that they would have some advice that could help us navigate the difficult situation that we found ourselves in.Finally, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and
