Chapter 48

Chapter Fourty Eight
??'Your plan is what... sir?" The rogue asked Beta Gaby with evident curiosity on his face. Beta Gaby smiled and told the rogue slowly, 'You know I heard that the internal riot about Jackson's death is directed by most of Alpha William's uncles."
??The rogue was still confused. He just looked at Beta Gaby without answering. Beta Gaby sighed and thought that why is the rogue so dumb.?
??But he still explained and told him," I am planning to join them discreetly. I am going to use my resources in helping them to fight against William. That way I will win their loyalty and be able to advance my own plan against Alpha Johnson too."
???The rogue nodded but he still warned, 'Sir, you should know the alpha by now. If you fail in succeeding to bring him down, he won't waste any time in executing you and I will say you shouldn't underestimate him cause he's also got a few powerful forces that will always be available for backups. They will always be ready to fight for him."
???Beta Gaby frowned when he heard this. He also knows that Alpha Johnson is not to be underestimated. So he was once again at crossroads. He was back to square one. He already thought that his plan was good enough and now thrown by the hazards of his plan, he couldn't help but rethink his decision.
??'Sir, let's just focus on getting Smith Bridget for now. Your plan to become an ally with the Alpha's uncles is indeed a good one," the rogue added. Beta Gaby smiled when he heard that.
??He gave the rogue a knowing smile that looks crook to me though. Then he asked, 'Can I trust you?" The rogue didn't reply and only looked at him with fearless eyes. His eyes show his clear emotions and of course, he is not afraid of anything.
??When he didn't reply, Beta Gaby's smile widened and he stood up. He walked to the rogue and told him slowly," I will need your help for my plans to succeed. In order for me to achieve a good result, I need you."
??Once again, the rogue was thrown into throes of confusion. He looked at Beta Gaby wondering what the old man means. He couldn't help but complain in his head that it's always impossible to know what Beta Gaby is thinking.
??Whenever you think you already got his plans, he will throw you into the throes of confusion again.
??'I can't obviously be the one to go meet them and reveal my real identity in case something goes wrong," Beta Gaby said, trying to give the rogue a hint.
??The rogue thought of it and smiled when he finally got what Beta Gaby was trying to say. 'Sir, do you mean like staying anonymous?,"? the rogue asked and Beta Gaby nodded.
??The rogue then pointed at himself and asked, 'Then why do you need me then?" Beta Gaby laughed and walked to him. He then lowered his head until the rogue could feel his hot breath on his face.
??He smiled at the rogue's discomfort and the rogue squirmed even more in the chair. Why is he acting like he is about to kiss him? The rogue swallowed hard as that thought slipped into his mind.?
??He always had this suspicious feeling about Beta Gaby that he perhaps likes both males and females but you can't be too quick in assuming, just in case you assume the wrong thing.
??Beta Gaby stroked the rogue's tender cheek and finally told him, 'Then you will be my dummy. You will be the one taking all the actions for me but I will be the one in charge of giving orders. They are going to be familiar with only you and won't be able to trace whatever crime we both commit back to me."
??After saying this, there was silence for a while as he stared at the rogue's face hoping to see any reaction that would give away his expression but the latter just kept on staring at him with a placid look.?
??He smiled and stood away from him. He turned around to go back to his chair and missed the pure look of hatred that appeared on the rogue's face.
??The latter understands everything Beta Gaby is trying to tell him. Beta Gaby will be the one giving the orders but he will be the one carrying out the job. He will be the one doing the dirty labour and in the end, still, be the sacrificial lamb.
??If anything bad happens, of course, it won't be linked to Beta Gaby but to him and he would be the one paying dearly for someone else deadly sins. When Beta Gaby turned back to him, the look of hatred completely disappeared from his face leaving only that expressionless mask.
??Beta Gaby stared at him suspiciously. Being old in the game, he felt the strong, intense glare just now. But he shook it when he saw the way the rogue still looked at him.
??'You understand Mark, don't you?" he asked, saying the name of the rogue for the first time since they entered the room. Mark slowly nodded.?
??Beta Gaby smiled and told him, 'If you are able to accomplish this mission successfully, this will be your last mission and if I successfully become the alpha of this pack, I will give you a high position than you could ever imagine. I will treat you like royalty if you are able to do this for me."
??Mark forced a smile but Beta Gaby surely didn't notice. 'Be rest assured Beta. I have never failed you in the previous mission. This one is just like a piece of cake for me," Mark gave a curt reply.
??Beta Gaby laughed. He obviously believed in him. He trusts the latter so blindly. He brought out a thick sheet of coloured paper or is it cardboard?
??He called Mark over and showed him everything on the paper. 'You will begin your mission tonight. We don't have much time left," He told Mark who nodded.

??Chapter Fourty Nine
???'I have listed all the available resources I want to use. The people who will assist in the war if it really happens and the ones that will help you in abducting Smith for me," Beta Gaby said and Mark nodded. Seems like the old man has been preparing for this before now but he didn't tell Beta Gaby a word.
??'Okay sir," Mark simply answered. 'You are going to start tonight," He told Mark who just nodded and collected the paper. 'Is that all sir?" Mark finally asked after some time.?
??Beta Gaby thought of it first before nodding, 'Yes, you can leave." Mark bowed a little before leaving the room. When the door slammed shut a little bit loud, Beta Gaby's face broke into smiles as he thought of the day that he will finally have his Smith Bridget all to himself.
???He brought out a piece of clothing and sniffed it quietly. He groaned in pleasure and dipped his hands into his trouser. He began to stroke himself as he sniffed the panty in his hand.
??It's pink coloured and I am guessing it is one of Sandra's panties if I am not wrong. Really...? This old man is disgusting. His groans of pleasure echoed in the room as he stroked himself faster.
??I am wondering for how long he has had that pant and when did he even steal it. A few minutes later, he groaned out loudly as hot seed spluttered on the floor.?
??He panted heavily and wrapped the pant around his hand. 'Soon," he mumbled... 'Soon, I will have the main deal," He told himself.
Smith Bridget P.O.V
?'Was the chicken sweet enough honey?" I looked up when I heard William's mom's kind voice. I smiled when I saw that she was looking at me. That means the question is directed to me.?
??I immediately nodded and replied, 'Yes mom, it was really delicious. I would have collected another plate if my stomach wasn't so occupied. There is no space in my belly again."
??Mom laughed as I rubbed my round belly. Yeah... She asked me to call her mom and I am more than happy to oblige. I have never had the experience of having a mother even though my biological mother is not dead but she was more like a Luna to me than a mother.
??I am very surprised by the way William's mom is behaving. She is so kind that I have been wishing she was my mom instead-but anytime I thought of that, I simply laugh. If she is my mother, there is no way I would be mated to my William then.
??Speaking of William, I glanced at the empty seat beside me. I nervously thought since he was angry when he left, will he vent that anger on me??
??I made a mental note to make sure I apologize to him first thing when I go back to the room. But that is the problem. I don't even know what room we are supposed to occupy. I don't know his room
??'Sandra honey, were you even listening to me? What's wrong honey?" I snapped back to reality when I heard mom's voice.
??I smiled and held her hand before saying, 'Sorry, I didn't hear what you said. What did you say, mom?"
??She smiled back in return and told me," I said I am glad you like the soup. It was my mother's recipe and William's favourite." I arched an eyebrow when I heard the last part.
??How come I have never heard of this until now? So hubby has a favourite food. 'And I am very surprised that he didn't ask for more this time," She added.?
??I answered that inwardly,' Yeah, mom, your son is such fickle-tempered that he got angry over a few words.'
??When I looked around and saw that others had already left the dining room, my eyes widened. I didn't even notice that it is only me and mom that is now left in the dining room.
??I immediately told her, 'Mom, I want to go to William but I don't know where he is. I don't know where our room is supposed to be." She smiled as I pouted.
??She then stood up and pulled my hand. 'Come, let's go. I will show you the way," she said. I pulled her hand back and told her, 'No mom, no need to stress yourself. Just tell a maid to direct me there."
??She shook her head with a smile and pinched my cheeks lightly. I am sure my face must be red by now. She's been pinching my face every minute telling me that I have the most beautiful pale skin she has ever seen.
??'I didn't complain. It's not a hassle to show you to your room," She said as she pulled me along.
??I smiled and just followed her. I soon realized the main reason why she decided to show me the room a few minutes later. Mortified is an understatement.
??When we mounted the stairs, she first stroked the big visible mark on my neck. I smiled nervously when she did that.
??'Sandra, please anytime my son does anything to offend you, don't think of leaving him. Just punish him the way you like. I am giving you full permission to do so," She told me. I smiled at her.?
???I don't know why she is saying this all of a sudden but I didn't say anything in response. I only nodded gently. 'Does he satisfy you in bed? I have always been afraid that my son isn't straight until I found out about you. So tell me, how is he in bed honey?"
??I almost choked when she asked me that. 'Mom!," I said with an embarrassed look. She laughed and pats me gently, 'Don't feel embarrassed honey. I just want to..."
???'Mom, this must be our room right?" I asked, rushing to a random door immediately we walked into the hallway.

??Chapter Fifty
Smith Bridget P.O.V
??'No... That is not it," She pulled me back. She then gave me a knowing smile. I couldn't help praying that we should get to the room faster. I can't take this embarrassing question or any more embarrassing questions.
???My prayers were answered when we got to a room. It was just two rooms away from the room I almost opened. Unknowingly, I should be thanking my stars that I didn't rush into that room or I would have seen what would have mortified me for life.?
??Hmm... That's another story. We will get back to that.
??'This is your room," She told me and I immediately bowed down to thank her. 'Mom, I will be going now. Thank you," I said quickly and I even kissed her cheeks. I opened the door and just before I closed it, I heard her say," I am expecting strong grandbabies from you too soon. Work hard."
??I immediately slammed the door, even so, I could still hear her laughing. I heaved a sigh of relief as I stepped on a soft fur that was made into a rug. It's so soft that I almost feel like caressing it.
???I looked up to look around the room my hubby slept in during his childhood days and I was left speechless. So beautiful. Even though the room was practically painted in a shade of purple.
?**** Author's P.O.V ****
??Almost everything in it was purple. It was so beautiful and luxurious. She didn't expect his room to look like that. It wasn't the typical male room she was expecting. She was actually expecting something like black hue colours or grey colours like the one Daniel has.
??You all remember Daniel right? One of her brothers in the blood forest pack. While she was looking around, that was when she noticed William coiled up on a sofa. He had a laptop ok his lap and acted like he hadn't heard her come in.
??She frowned and walked to him. She sat on the remaining little space on the sofa beside him but yet he still didn't look at her. She smiled discreetly.
??Why is he being such a big baby? She can't believe he is really upset over that little thing. 'William," She called out softly. He didn't respond nor did he look at her.?
??She called him like three consecutive times but he just ignored her. He was currently on silent mode. She smiled and looked into his laptop.
??What she saw made her frown? What!? He was... He has been staring at a blue-eyed girl all this while she was talking to him. Who is this woman? That was when she noticed his fingers moving rapidly on the laptop.
??He is also talking to her. She read the first thing she saw so she could see the name of the app or whatever he was using. That was when she saw Facebook. What is Facebook?
??He frowned when he saw that her face was getting in the way but he didn't say anything. He just turned around to the other side with his laptop. Sandra opened her mouth.?
??She was so furious... And surprise and angry... She can't even describe how she is feeling right now. She shook him gently and called out with a pout, 'William... Babe!"
??But he still didn't reply. He even hummed a song as his fingers continued making tapping sounds indicating that he is still chatting with the unknown lady.
??Sandra frowned angrily. He'll rather talk to another lady than talk to her. 'William, you know I really didn't say anything in there and I even tried to defend you. I don't get why you are even angry when they were only joking," she told him but William didn't even reply.?
??He still kept on ignoring her. She groaned in anger and went to the bed. She thought of what to do and then finally remembered what he can't bear to see her do.
William P.O.V
??I smiled when I heard her leaving. I will just pretend to be angry with her for now. I yawned as I stared at the profile of the lady I am chatting with on Facebook. Dang! She's so boring to talk to.
??If this was a physical meeting, I am sure I would have left five minutes after we meet. Wait... Five minutes is even too much. I can't even remember the last time I checked my Facebook profile.?
??I just wanted to do something to keep myself busy. Only I know how long I have been glancing at the door waiting impatiently for her to come in and her reaction is really cute.
??I never knew her jealous reaction will be so cute. I smiled as I thought that perhaps I should do this often just to see her react.
??Just then my ears perked up when I heard soft cries. I frowned and waited for a while. I thought I just imagined it. But a few minutes later, I heard that soft sound again.
??Yep... It's definitely not soft. It sounded louder this time. Wait... Is she crying? I wanted to ignore it before cause I was thinking that what if it was a ploy. But I just can't.
??I turned around and sat up when I saw her sitting on the bed. Her face was buried in her knees and her shoulders were shuddering. Yep, she is definitely crying.?
??I stood up and sighed. Then I walked to her. When I got there, I tried to touch her but she shrugged her hands off me.
??'Don't touch me," She said tearfully. 'Go and talk to your new babe. She is blue-eyed. You like blue-eyed ladies now huh?"
??I smiled when I heard her words. So she is indeed jealous. 'Is that why you are crying?" I asked her.
??She refused to answer me. I pulled her into a tight embrace even though she tried to struggle. I stroked her hair and before u could say anything, she spoke first,
??'I thought you didn't want to talk to me. Go back to her. I also don't want to talk to you right now."

??Chapter Fifty One
William P.O.V
???I laughed softly when I heard her words. 'Babe, I don't even know her," I told her quietly. She looked up at me with tear-filled eyes and said in an unconvinced tone, 'Why were you talking to her then?"
??I laughed again and pinched her small little nose. 'I was bored so I checked my Facebook. I have not checked that thing for months," I answered her.
??She looked at me with an innocent-looking face and asked me, 'What is a Facebook?" Oh! She doesn't know what Facebook mean. I smiled and released her first.?
??She whined in protest but I just ignored her and went over to the sofa to carry my laptop. I walked back to her and sat next to her.
??Pulling her closer to me, I began to explain, 'Facebook is a social app. You meet several people all over the world here. You can become friends with them on Facebook and chat with them. But before you do that, you need to create an account first. After that, you can send friend requests and you can also accept other people's friend requests."
??She nodded as she listened to me attentively. I couldn't resist bending low to kiss her on the lips. She bit mine softly and I smiled against her mouth. She's a fast learner.
??She's learnt how to copy me and bite lips when kissing. She broke off the kiss just when it was getting to a heated session and I whined this time around.
??She smiled and traced her fingers on my lips. 'William," She called out.
??'Mhmm."
????'Can you create a Facebook account for me too? I also want to meet guys all over the world and chat with them," She said.
??I was simply speechless. This... Is she looking for revenge? I squinted her eyes at me and when I noticed the twinkle in her eyes, I knew she was messing with me.
??How dare she? I shut down my laptop and placed it in the bedside drawer before turning back to her. She already sensed something was wrong cause she almost ran off the bed but I caught her just in time.
??'I am going to teach you not to try messing with me. After that, I doubt you will ever want to talk to any guy again," I whispered as I pushed her onto the bed and mount on her.
??She giggled but the sound was immediately swallowed in my mouth.
****
~~~ Meanwhile back at Dark moon Pack which is William's pack ~~~
??'He didn't take the bait," One of William's uncles asked.
???The man who had asked caught the servant talking to Alpha Walter on phone and shook his head sideways. 'No," He answered solemnly, the look of anger barely conceived.
??'I knew it. That lad is too smart than that. He won't easily fall for that. We need to do something more wrecking to bring him back home. Once we capture him, we are going to teach that little mate of his a lesson too. She is the root of everything happening here," the second uncle answered.
???'But... It's only William we need. Don't you think we will be going far by touching his mate?" The first uncle answered.
??'What are you saying? It is justified. She is the main cause of Jackson's death so it is fair that she pays for it," the second uncle answered.
??The first uncle looked uncomfortable but he didn't say anything. Before they could say anything, a servant came over to announce the arrival of a rogue. The two uncles looked at each other wondering why a rogue is there.
??Apparently, these two uncles are the main power in the family. They walked to the sitting room where the other uncles were already waiting. Even the rogue was already there.
??When they walked in, the rogue stood up and greeted them. 'Good day. I am Mark. I already explained why I am here to my elders but they insisted that they won't make any decisions unless you two give your consent," Mark explained.
??The first uncle and second uncle. Their names are Jay and Cole respectively. One of the uncles stood up and explained all Mark had told them before.
??When they heard everything, they couldn't keep off the look of surprise on their faces. How come a rogue has so much power that can help them overthrow William once and for all?
??And secondly, the thing he requested is really strange. Jay, the older one of the two uncles spoke first, 'Why would you want his mate in return?"
??Mark smiled and looked at them. 'If you all give your consent right now, we can start a war right now and here. The mistake alpha made is leaving his pack without a gamma or beta in control."
??His answer completely evaded Jay's question but it also made them realize the most vital part. They all looked at each other. Before they could talk, Cole asked again, 'Why do you need his mate?"
???'Play your part and I will play mine. You don't need to ask this question. It's William you want. It's Sandra I need. We can get them if we both cooperate," Mark answered them tactfully again.
??They looked at each other again and nodded. Mark smiled. Even if Beta Gaby gives him a lot of time to accomplish this mission, he won't waste any time and finish this up soon. This would after all be his last mission.
William P.O.V
??I frowned as I jerked up. I was about to sit up but something or rather someone was holding me down. I looked around and smiled when I saw Sandra hugging me. Seems like this is her favourite position.
??My body is so sweaty even though I am completely naked right now. The room feels airy but why am I so sweaty. I stood up after pulling her off me and was about to go to the bathroom when Liam suddenly mind-linked me,' Alpha... We've got a big problem. We have to go back home right away.'

?Chapter Fifty Two
William P.O.V
??'What!?," I exclaimed as I looked at father. I turned to Liam and Jake. They both looked worried. 'They really dared to start a war without my presence," I growled.
??'Alpha, the pack is on fire. They will completely destroy it if we don't leave right away," Jake said, glancing at his phone repeatedly. I nodded and looked at my father. He was speaking on the phone, calling the people he told me he would request to help me.
???We waited patiently and when he finished. He smiled at me even though I can see that it was forced. 'Great... They will be there. We have to leave now. I'll take some men and leave some here just in case. And before I forget, it's better your mates stay here in case of emergency," Father suggested.
??Before we could say anything, the twins rushed. Their clothes looked dishevelled like they had hurriedly put them on. 'We heard of what happened and we are also going with you," They chorused.
??I nodded. Goddess knows how relieved I feel to have them with me. 'But we are going to leave the ladies here," Liam said with a worried look.
??Father nodded. Alan and Jace stared at each other. Liam only bent his head to kiss the ring on his fingers. No one knows what's going to happen.
??There was a minute of silence before father finally said, 'Let's go." With that, we walked out.?
??A few minutes later when we walked into the sitting room with medium-sized backpacks, all the ladies were already there. They all looked worried.
??I looked around and saw Sandra. My baby was putting up a long top and shorts. Her eyes were once again teary. I dropped my backpack and walked to her. The backpack is containing our weapons.
??She rushed into my arms and burst into tears. Hell, the room was filled with cries. 'William, you can't leave me all alone here. You have to come back for me," She cried out in between hiccups.?
???I nodded and kissed her forehead. 'I will come back for you. You have to stay safe here for me," I told her and she nodded in return, hugging me tightly.
??I looked around the room. Sienna was crying terribly as Jace carried her like a baby. I then turned to Liam and Daniella. That was when I heard her tell him, 'Liam, I didn't want to say this because I wasn't so sure. I am pregnant."
???Liam cried at the news. Daniella held his hand and told him tearfully, 'So you can't leave me and our baby. You have to come back for our baby's sake. You don't want him or her to be fatherless."
??He nodded unable to stop his tears. I was filled with determination right then that no matter what, all of us going to the battlefield today will come back to our loved ones safely.
??A few minutes later, the room was silent. The men already left and William's mother was trying so hard to pacify Daniella. Maybe cause of her hormones, she was finding it difficult to stop crying.
??Sandra just lay on a sofa without saying a word. Each passing minute was filled with agony. Just then, they heard loud shouts. Sandra looked at Sienna fearfully as they strained their ears to listen to the shouts.
??'Seem like we are being attacked," William's mother said calmly. She then stood up and pulled Daniella up too. She turned to the others and told them quickly, 'Hurry and follow me."
??She then led them to the hallway. They reached somewhere and then she pulled some kind of object. The ground gave way and displayed stairs. They began to mount it slowly and were soon led to another hallway.?
??She led them to a room and pressed the pin to the lock. When they entered safely, they were all looking relieved. Just as the door was closing, someone stuck a hand and leg.
??The ladies looked at each other horrified. Mark entered after he successfully stopped the door from closing. He smiled at them. 'Hello," He said in a friendly way. Everyone except Sandra looked terrified. Few more men entered the room and the ladies were left with no way out.
??'We haven't come for a fight. We just wanna take what belongs to us," Mark said with a smile. Before anyone of them could say anything, they all lost their senses.
??As the ladies fell to the floor one after the other, Mark looked at the man beside him and smiled at him. 'I knew having you on my team would be useful. You've got to teach me some of your magic tricks later but now we have a bride to take home."
??The room roared with laughter.
??Meanwhile, at Dark moon pack, the situation was looking tense cause apparently William's uncles were gaining the upper hand.
??'What the heck is going on!!?," Jake shouted looking frustrated. He was surrounded by many fallen wolves. Most of the wolves are their men.
??Even William seems to be having a hard time. He's lost contact with his father, Liam and the twins. It's only Jake that is with him.
??'How the fuck did they get this powerful!!?," William couldn't help but shout back. He dodged a hit from a wolf and strike back. The wolf struggled with him and Jake had to assist by stabbing him in the back.
??When the wolf fell to the ground, Jay appeared in front of William. His face twisted into a cruel smile and he immediately started to attack William without restraint.
??Jake was soon surrounded by enemy wolves that he didn't have time to focus on William anymore.
??'If it isn't my uncle Jay," William said with a cheeky smile as he bent to avoid a hit. Jay looked angered and struck back with full force.
??William was barely able to keep up and narrowly missed his attacks. Before he started to attack, Jay asked him tactfully, 'William, how is your little mate? I haven't seen her."
??William narrowed his eyes and dodged his attack again whole wondering why Jay is asking of Sandra.
??'You really are too young in this game. You left your pack without beta and gamma in charge. It's costing you your pack now. Yet again, you still made the same silly mistake with your mate. I really hope they would have gotten that bitch by now," Jay said.
??William's eyes widened when he heard this. He was momentarily distracted. What! What are they talking about? He seriously hoped at that moment that it isn't what he is thinking.
??No... Not again. He almost lost her once. He can't lose her again.
??'William!!! Watch out!!," Jake cried out, snapping William back to reality just in time to see the two different silver blades coming from the opposite sides.

Bonus Chapter
??William was confused. What was Liam saying? He walked to the bathroom. He still feels disgusted with how sweaty his body is. He should have just taken his bath after that exercise earlier.
??As he switched on the shower and began to bathe, he mind-linked Liam and asked,' What's wrong? I don't get what you're u were trying to tell me. Can you explain?'
??He could even feel Liam's uneasiness through the mind-link, ‘Alpha, I can't explain it through the mind-link. Please, come to the study room. Everyone is waiting for you and don't waste any time. This is about the future of our pack.'
??He was even more confused by the reply but he hurriedly took his bath and left the bathroom. When he walked back to the room in just a towel, Sandra was awake.
??She sat up when she saw him and she didn't even notice that the duvet had already slid down her body. William stared at her boobs shamelessly and smirked.
??'Nice view," He commented and she glared at him before quickly covering herself with the duvet. He laughed softly and walked to the walk-in closet. A few minutes later, he walked out fully dressed.
??Sandra was still in the same position, feeling too lazy to move. But she asked him, 'Where are you going?" He walked closer to the bed and kissed her forehead.?
??'I am going to the study room. We have an impromptu meeting. Go and take a quick shower, then come downstairs. Daniella and others might be waiting for you," William told her and she nodded.
??When he walked out, she also stood up and walked to the bathroom.
*****
???As soon as William walked into the study room and met everyone present, he was convinced that something is wrong.
??He sat down opposite the twins and stared at them. Feeling impatient, he asked, 'What is wrong? Liam, what were you talking about?"
??'Alpha, your uncles...," he trailed off. I arched an eyebrow when I heard him. My uncles? What did they do?
??'William, they want to start a war. They already challenged you. They sent a message," Alpha Walter spoke since Liam was speaking too slowly.
??William was stunned. Not that he didn't expect this. He already expected this but he didn't know it would be so soon. He collected the phone Alan stretched to him and checked the message on it.
??'They even gave us a countdown," William said with a bitter smile.
??'Yes, they said they would start the war without your presence if you don't come back to your pack within the period of time they gave you," Jake answered.
??'Seem like they are still willing to give you a chance like a treaty," Alpha Walter answered.
??'I don't want a treaty with those disgusting and confused-minded human beings. Since they want a war, I will give them one," William uttered with an angry look. These people are supposed to be his family, to love and support him always but instead, they are fighting against him.
??Alpha Walter smiled and cautioned him,' Two wrongs can't make a right. That's not how you deal with this type of situation. At least, you should try to come to an agreement with them."
??William sighed and answered, 'I know that these people are set on starting a war. I also the effects of war on our packs. Dad all I want you to do now is to please call the packs that will be willing to help me in case a war really occurs."
??Alpha Walter nodded and walked away with his phone. 'I will inform the ladies," Jace informed them.
??Before he could walk away, Jake suggested, 'Alpha, why don't we leave them here instead? Just in case a war really occurs."?
??William shook his head sideways and told him, 'I can't leave my Sandra behind. I left her behind once and almost lost her. If war really occurs, I have a backup plan for that. All the females in our pack will be taken out of the war zone safely."
??Jake still looked unconvinced. 'Well, if anyone of you is interested in leaving your mate behind, you can do so," William told them but of course, no one wants to leave their mate behind.
??Jace immediately left to break the news to the ladies.?
?Sienna P.O.V
??I tried to smile as I stared at aunty. She was showing us an old funny dance of hers. But I just couldn't concentrate. I kept glancing at the doorway, hoping one of the twins would suddenly appear.
??Why did they rush out of the room earlier as if something was wrong? 'Sienna," Sandra's voice snapped me back to reality and I forced a smile as I looked at her.
??'What is wrong?," She asked me with a worried look and I was suddenly aware of the fact that I haven't apologized to her personally. I apologized to William when she was unconscious. She deserves an apology too.
??'Nothing," I gave a curt reply.
???'Are you sure it's nothing cause mom has been calling your name for a while now?" She said and I looked at aunty in confusion.
??She smiled and told me, 'You have been watching me dance much longer than Sandra and Daniella so you should at least have an inkling of how to do the dance. Come and dance for us."
??Daniella and Sandra even cheered loudly as they urged me on. I laughed nervously. Dance!? If there's anything I am bad at in this world, it's dancing.
??'No aunty... I don't want to dance. I just want to enjoy your dance," I immediately tried to evade her request but she wouldn't have it. She came to me and pulled me to the centre of the room.
??They cheered and watched me, expecting me to actually dance. As if on cue, my phone rang loudly. I was so relieved. I hurriedly excused myself from the room without even looking at the caller ID.
??I know if I had checked it, I would have preferred to do an awkward dance instead of answering the call.
??When I got to the hallway, I answered the call and said, 'Hello." The voice that spoke sent shivers down my spine and made me remember the harsh reality I have been hiding from.
??'Hello princess. You didn't even bother to call after you left."
??'Dad," I choked out.
????'Since you have been away for so long, does that mean you finally succeeded princess?" dad asked. Oh no!?
??Before I could even say anything, he continued, 'Just invite William and his family over so we can conclude the mating ceremony. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. I am so grateful to have a daughter like you. There was no way that girl had a chance against you. You already had William before..."
???I couldn't hold it back anymore so I just spat it out, 'Dad, I found my mate." There was a moment of silence over the phone. I even thought he already cut the call.
??'What are you saying?," Father asked in a quiet voice. I could feel his anger. 'I found my mates, father," I replied in a voice that came in a whisper.
??'Come back home right away! You little bitch! What's gonna happen to all our plans!? I have been grooming you for William all my life and you have the guts to pay me back this way!," he shouted over the phone that I even began to tremble.
??I hate my father the most whenever he is angry. He does the unthinkable like how he killed his mother. Yes... No one knows about it but I saw him beat her to death. Since that day, I have always followed all his orders and instructions so I won't end up like her.
???My brother was right all along. When you find your mate, everything just seems right when you are them.
??'Don't give me those pathetic tears and come home right away or you know what I'll do! You ungrateful bitch!" He shouted and cut the call.
??I walked back to the sitting room slowly and was so relieved to see Jace. But why does everyone look so tense?
??He turned and noticed me. He walked to me and said, 'Honey..." I thought he already noticed how upset I was so I tried to tell him, 'Jace, I just..."
??'There is no time honey... We have to leave right away," He said pulling me out of the room. I was confused. Leave? To where? Where are we going to?
???As we walked out, I heard aunty say, 'Can't the ladies just stay here?" But I didn't hear the response to her question. What is going on?
???Almost an hour later, all the couples were all in an expensive-looking SUV. Daniella looked very much tensed. Sandra looked worried and Sienna was just confused.
??'Why are we going back home?" Daniella asked and Sienna's ears perked up. Home...?
??'No matter what happens when we go back home, just stay indoors and don't come out, okay?" William instructed them. The ladies nodded.?
???There were a lot of questions that they wanted to ask but they had to wait till they got home. It was when they arrived at the mansion and noticed the fleet of cars parked outside that they figured out something is definitely wrong.
??Everyone walked in and William's uncles were already waiting for them with a lot of armed wolves.
??William looked at Alan and he immediately led the ladies upstairs. Sandra didn't want to go but she had no other choice. As she walked past a wolf she identified to be a rogue, she shuddered with involuntary fear.
??Mark smiled when he saw that little action of hers. He was so relieved that William didn't leave Sandra behind as he had predicted.
??'Wow... This father and son bond is really strong. I can see that you accompanied your son, Walter," Jay spoke first as he looked at Alpha Walter.
??'Long time no see brother," Alpha Walter replied with a knowing smile. Jay was irritated. He doesn't want to see them smiling but he just has to wait a little bit.
??'Uncle, I arrived just in time for the treaty. What do you want?" William asked. He isn't prepared to waste any time with these wolves.
??Cole frowned and chirped in, 'At least, have a seat and you didn't even greet anyone. Is this how your father raised you?" William smiled and answered, 'When a war is concerned, an alpha can't be at rest."
??The room roared with laughter as they mocked him, 'The lad is speaking like a true alpha!"
??'What do you want?" William asked again.
??Yet again, one of his uncles said, 'You have to pay for taking the life of your cousin. It isn't right. You should never have laid your hands on Jackson. You even went as far as killing him. It shows how dangerous you are and we certainly don't want a dangerous alpha in our midst."
??William had the urge to roll his eyes. It isn't as if they didn't hear what Jackson did. They just choose to turn a blind eye to it, obviously cause of whatever bribe or gifts they might have been receiving from him.
??'What do you want?" William asked impatiently.
???'It's simple. We want Sandra. She's the root of all these. You would never have killed Jackson if it wasn't for her," A strange man William has never seen before replied.
??William frowned and asked, 'And who the hell are you?"
??Mark smiled and stood up. He walked to William who was immediately assailed by the stench of a rogue. His eyes widened in recognition as he stared at Mark.
??'Your entire pack, including this mansion has been surrounded by angry wolves who are ready to attack. It's either you give us Sandra peacefully or we take with force. Choose wisely," Mark answered.
??William's uncles nodded and agreed with his words. Yes... That woman is the cause of everything.?
??William glared at them and muttered, 'She has nothing to do with this so don't even..."
??Before he could finish talking, one of his uncles interrupted, 'She has everything to do with this! Your mate or your pack. You have just thirty minutes to decide!"
??'No... That's too much. You have just five minutes to decide," Jay said as he glared at Alpha Walter.
??William looked at his beta and gamma. He has just five minutes to decide. What or who will he choose? Will he choose Sandra, his fated mate or his pack consisting of wolves that are dependent on him?
Chapter Fourty Eight
??'Your plan is what... sir?" The rogue asked Beta Gaby with evident curiosity on his face. Beta Gaby smiled and told the rogue slowly, 'You know I heard that the internal riot about Jackson's death is directed by most of Alpha William's uncles."
??The rogue was still confused. He just looked at Beta Gaby without answering. Beta Gaby sighed and thought that why is the rogue so dumb.?
??But he still explained and told him," I am planning to join them discreetly. I am going to use my resources in helping them to fight against William. That way I will win their loyalty and be able to advance my own plan against Alpha Johnson too."
???The rogue nodded but he still warned, 'Sir, you should know the alpha by now. If you fail in succeeding to bring him down, he won't waste any time in executing you and I will say you shouldn't underestimate him cause he's also got a few powerful forces that will always be available for backups. They will always be ready to fight for him."
???Beta Gaby frowned when he heard this. He also knows that Alpha Johnson is not to be underestimated. So he was once again at crossroads. He was back to square one. He already thought that his plan was good enough and now thrown by the hazards of his plan, he couldn't help but rethink his decision.
??'Sir, let's just focus on getting Smith Bridget for now. Your plan to become an ally with the Alpha's uncles is indeed a good one," the rogue added. Beta Gaby smiled when he heard that.
??He gave the rogue a knowing smile that looks crook to me though. Then he asked, 'Can I trust you?" The rogue didn't reply and only looked at him with fearless eyes. His eyes show his clear emotions and of course, he is not afraid of anything.
??When he didn't reply, Beta Gaby's smile widened and he stood up. He walked to the rogue and told him slowly," I will need your help for my plans to succeed. In order for me to achieve a good result, I need you."
??Once again, the rogue was thrown into throes of confusion. He looked at Beta Gaby wondering what the old man means. He couldn't help but complain in his head that it's always impossible to know what Beta Gaby is thinking.
??Whenever you think you already got his plans, he will throw you into the throes of confusion again.
??'I can't obviously be the one to go meet them and reveal my real identity in case something goes wrong," Beta Gaby said, trying to give the rogue a hint.
??The rogue thought of it and smiled when he finally got what Beta Gaby was trying to say. 'Sir, do you mean like staying anonymous?,"? the rogue asked and Beta Gaby nodded.
??The rogue then pointed at himself and asked, 'Then why do you need me then?" Beta Gaby laughed and walked to him. He then lowered his head until the rogue could feel his hot breath on his face.
??He smiled at the rogue's discomfort and the rogue squirmed even more in the chair. Why is he acting like he is about to kiss him? The rogue swallowed hard as that thought slipped into his mind.?
??He always had this suspicious feeling about Beta Gaby that he perhaps likes both males and females but you can't be too quick in assuming, just in case you assume the wrong thing.
??Beta Gaby stroked the rogue's tender cheek and finally told him, 'Then you will be my dummy. You will be the one taking all the actions for me but I will be the one in charge of giving orders. They are going to be familiar with only you and won't be able to trace whatever crime we both commit back to me."
??After saying this, there was silence for a while as he stared at the rogue's face hoping to see any reaction that would give away his expression but the latter just kept on staring at him with a placid look.?
??He smiled and stood away from him. He turned around to go back to his chair and missed the pure look of hatred that appeared on the rogue's face.
??The latter understands everything Beta Gaby is trying to tell him. Beta Gaby will be the one giving the orders but he will be the one carrying out the job. He will be the one doing the dirty labour and in the end, still, be the sacrificial lamb.
??If anything bad happens, of course, it won't be linked to Beta Gaby but to him and he would be the one paying dearly for someone else deadly sins. When Beta Gaby turned back to him, the look of hatred completely disappeared from his face leaving only that expressionless mask.
??Beta Gaby stared at him suspiciously. Being old in the game, he felt the strong, intense glare just now. But he shook it when he saw the way the rogue still looked at him.
??'You understand Mark, don't you?" he asked, saying the name of the rogue for the first time since they entered the room. Mark slowly nodded.?
??Beta Gaby smiled and told him, 'If you are able to accomplish this mission successfully, this will be your last mission and if I successfully become the alpha of this pack, I will give you a high position than you could ever imagine. I will treat you like royalty if you are able to do this for me."
??Mark forced a smile but Beta Gaby surely didn't notice. 'Be rest assured Beta. I have never failed you in the previous mission. This one is just like a piece of cake for me," Mark gave a curt reply.
??Beta Gaby laughed. He obviously believed in him. He trusts the latter so blindly. He brought out a thick sheet of coloured paper or is it cardboard?
??He called Mark over and showed him everything on the paper. 'You will begin your mission tonight. We don't have much time left," He told Mark who nodded.
