-Colt’s Pov-
“They don’t have her in the
pack.” Beck says.
“Are you sure?!”
“Yes. We immediately set up
surveillance when we
arrived, a few hours after he
attacked us. He returned
yesterday to his pack and was only with his men.
“Yesterday? That is three days after he took her.”
“He must have taken her
somewhere else.”
“But where!?” I punch the
table.
Beck shakes his head. “I do
not know but…he brought more men with him. Many more than what he had
before.”
“Ezra. He must have given
her to Ezra and he paid him
for it.” James says.
“We don’t know that for
sure.” Victor says.
“But it makes sense! He said
that Ezra had offered him a
deal.” I say.
“We have been watching
Ezra since before Oliver
betrayed us. There has been
no new activity with him. He might not even know of what has happened.” Says
Garret. “But there is a
possibility that you are right. However, they could have her somewhere else and not
in the pack itself.”
“Keep an extra watch on Ezra
and Oliver but now I want
you to focus on what is at
hand. We attack the river
packs tonight.” Victor says.
There is nothing that I can
do now. I feel so useless. She
needs me and here I am
unable to help her. If I had
marked her, I might have
had a chance to find her, to
sense her. But no, we had to
play these fucking games!
“So we are coordinating two
attacks at the same time?”
Archie–the beta —says.
Victor nods. “Yes. We have
enough men to do this and easily overpower them.”
“But this leaves our own pack
defenseless.” Old man
Rodrick says.
Garret nods. “I know. It is a
risk but one they do not expect. If we take one pack first, then the other pack will
be alerted. Ezra will use this
to his advantage, having that pack join him. If we take
them both out, it will be a huge blow to Ezra’s alliance.”
Victor nods. “Alright. I trust you.” He looks at me. “Will you be joining us? We need
everyone we can get.”
I close my eyes and nod. “I
will.”
All I really want to do is
focus on finding Cass but I
don’t know where to even
start. Is she even alive?
I shake my head and will myself not to think that.
Honestly, if it was left to me,
I would attack Oliver first but
then we would be opened to
the river pack’s attack who
are much closer to us and
have attacked before. So I
guess that this is the best course of action.
When the meeting is over, I go to the parlor where I indulge myself with a drink.
I feel a gentle hand on my
shoulder. Startled–I did not
sense anyone walking in–I turn around.
“Hey.” Julia says. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I look at her with confusion.
“I thought you were going to be taken away?” I ask her.
“Well with the pack being under attack, they let me
stay. So now we are at war
with Alpha Oliver too?”
“Yeah. I am pretty sure that man is crazy. What he did to
us did not come from a sane
person.”
“What if all the packs
suddenly turn against us?”
She asks.
“That would be problematic.”
“Maybe then I’ll get to stay.”
I look at her trying to see what are her intention to say
this.
“I really don’t want to go, Colt.”
“You should have thought about that before you did
what you did.”
“What do you expect? I
love-”
“STOP! You stop right there!
I don’t want you and I never will! Get that through your
damn head!”
She looks surprised and distraught. “Why are you saying this?”
“Because I was too nice
before! And I am tired of the
way you are acting. Grow up! You are not a child and you can’t have everything you
want just because you want
it! I am not and will never be
yours.”
“You don’t have to be so
cruel!” She gets up and runs
out crying.
“Yes, I do. Maybe you’ll get it
through your head now.” I
mutter.
I am pissed and maybe I
took it out on her but it
needed to be said.
“I’d say you handled that pretty well.” Dash says
walking in. “She’s a crazy one too. Do you think there is something in the water?”
I have no desire to engage in
conversation at the moment.
I just turn around and ignore
him.
He sits next to me also
drinking and stays quiet. My
sister and brother now walk
1. in.
Bryn stomps towards me with the sign–up that reads. “If Cass doesn’t come back, will I stay like this forever?!”
“It depends. As long as she is…alive…” My eyes widen. “If you can’t talk, it means that
she is still alive!”
I have to confirm this so I
leave them, rush upstairs,
and barge into Alpha
Warrick’s room.
“Colt! What are you doing?!”
Lotus shouts at me having
startled her.
“I am sorry but I need to know something.”
Warrick opens his eyes. The
bastard is still alive and
doesn’t seem to want to die.
It has been three days since
the Doctor said that he
might not survive the night but here he is. Though I
have to admit, he is not
looking any better.
“If Cass…if she was dead,
would that mean that
anyone who was under her
power would be released
from that control?”
“You…want to know that if I die, you would all be released from my power?”
“Yes, but it’s not about you.
I… I need to know if she is
alive. I need to know that
Cass is alive…please…”
He stares at me for a
moment and then nods. “If I were to die, you would all be released of my control and power. So it is the same for
her.”
Hope rises inside of me. She
is alive and as long as my
sister can’t talk–as bad as it
sounds- I know she will be
alive.
I give Warrick a nod. “Thank you. She is still alive.”
“Good. Get her back.” He says and then closes his eyes again.
“You got what you need now
let him rest.” Lotus waves me
away.
Feeling just a bit better, I walk out and get ready for tonight.
Just wait my love. Once we
are done with this, we’ll go
after Oliver and find out
what he has done with you.
Night comes and the battle
starts. We attacked and they
were not expecting us this
night but they were still prepared.
“Put him down!” I shout.
The men around me fight to
get to an enemy who wields a fucking Gatling gun. Yes, a fucking Gatling gun! He already put a few of my men
down but now he has to
reload.
“Get to him before he
finishes!”
I slash at an enemy who tries
to come at me, getting him right in the throat. When the man falls, my eyes go back to my men who run as fast as they can and as the man
finishes and is about to start
his assault, they swarm him like rabid dogs and rip him
apart.
This damn pack is small but they have a few things that help them against us like that gun. They had two of those
but Garret’s men already
took out the one on the
other side of the field. Soon
after that, Garret and his
men disappeared inside the
enemy’s pack house.
“Lend me a hand here
mother fucker!” Beck shouts
in my direction.
I grin as I punch a man, taking him to his knees. “You can’t handle it?” I yell Back.
He is far away but I can hear
him perfectly.
“My men were the front line!
Half of them are gone,
asshole!” Beck breaks a man’s
n*ck and goes to the next
one.
“You’ll be fine! Retreat and
hold the back line. I’ll handle
the rest here!”
He gives me a nod and he
and what is left of his men
fall back.
Most of our men are shifted
but Generals stay in human
form to be able to give
orders unless there is no
reason to.
Within a few minutes, Garret comes out of the pack house
dragging the Alpha’s b*dy
with him. He throws the
b*dy at the ground and gives a growl that gets everyone’s
attention.
“Your Alpha is dead! You belong to the Dark Fand
Pack now! Submit!”
The enemy—taken by surprise–look at each other
and then immediately some
start to kneel. But not all of
them do.
“Submit, or die. It is that
simple!” Garret announces.
And with that, the rest
follow.
With this win, it means the
Dark Fang territory has expanded because it is right
next to our own territory.
Unfortunately, this is not a good thing. Many will take this to be a dangerous move
and not to mention that
Victor is attacking the pack that is right next to this one right now so that is twice the territory gain in just one night.
Thia was a win and just how Garret predicted. This is why
he is the main practitioner. He is good.
It takes us all day the next day to get our affairs in order
and head back to the main
pack house to have a
meeting. This time, Garret puts a different plan in
motion. We need these men
to be loyal to us but we can’t
take them with us because it
is a whole two packs. We don’t have the space for them. And if we left them
with their word only, they
could go back to Ezra for
help. Usually what would
happen is that Warrick
would command them to be
loyal but we can’t do that at
the moment. So Garret
thought it would be a good idea, to take two family members from every family
in the packs and take them to our pack as an incentive. If they step out of line, their family members will be
killed. It sounds bad but I
understand how well this will
work. They took mostly
women and children. If I was
seeing all of this from the
outside, I would definitely
consider us to be the bad
guys. He did tell them that
once this war is over and
they have done their part,
their family members will be given back.
Now back at the pack, I wait as Victor and Garret report what happened in each battle and I have to say, I do
not feel very patient but I
have no choice, I wait. When finally they are done and
now start talking about our
next move, that is when I
chime in.
“Oliver is next, right?”
Victor looks at me and then
nods. “Yes. Alpha Oliver is next. He is going to pay for
what he did and then…then
we’ll get our Alpha back.”
Our Alpha…my Angel. We
are coming for you next.
