His face was covered with a dark cloth and so no one could see the man behind the mask.



"This is my second born..", Richard continued his statement as he held up Nicholas for every one to see.



"His name is Nicholas...", He continued his statement as he looked at Nicholas who laid in his arms peacefully.



He took a close look at Emily, her reassuring smile again, moving her head slightly motioning for Richard to continue his statement.



She felt ever pleased with Richard, the bold step he was taking even when Martins Grey had told them that Bryan was going to be wolfless, he had to make a tough decision in making Nicholas Bryan's beta.



Though no other person would know about Bryan's fate, he smiled at Nicholas who laid in his arms and then continued his statement, "He would be his brother's beta, his brother's best friend, and nothing can change it".



Callum and Frederick, the two physically fit men who stood at the door post, began to see some movement on the fences of the garden.



Just as Callum held his sword and drew it out, Frederick had no idea what Callum was doing.



But for Callum to suspect something suspicious and draw out his sword, he did the same thing too.



"Do you see something?", Frederick asked as his hands became quite unsteady and his hands were shaking, his legs began to wobble.



But then he realized he was a warrior and summoned up courage as he walked calmly, but his eyes scanning round to see if anything was moving.



"Yes.. I suspect some...", Callum replied as his words were cut off with a groan as he held his neck and slowly dropped to the ground.



Frederick turned round to see Callum on the ground with his hands still on his neck, but then he laid on the ground lifeless.



Frederick smartly crawled to where Callum laid, his hands placed on Callum's chest trying to feel if his heart was still pumping blood but no, Calling was dead



Frederick turned his body sideways and saw a sharp needle in his throat. Obviously, something had shot him from afar with a very sharp poisonous needle.



Frederick stood up, but yet he lowered the upper part of his body, trying to smartly find out who could have made such a sharp shot at Callum.



Just then, he saw two men running effortlessly on the top of the fence like it was just a plain ground.



While his eyes were tracing the movement of the men who just vanished into thin air, he got distracted.



When he heard another sound coming from the opposite side he stood, he turned quickly, but then another man jumped from a high point, with his knees stretched out, he collided with Frederick, with his knees hitting Fredrick's chest.



Fredrick fell to the ground with blood gushing out from his mouth in large quantity.



He groaned on the ground, he used his hands to cover his chest, trying to relieve himself off some of the pain he felt



While he laid there on the ground, he sight caught the man who kneed him on the chest, bend down to carry his own sword.



Then he could see the way the man, the man behind the mask didn't seem to be in a hurry, he walked calmly, counting every step he took.



But while he was walking, Frederick tried to crawl away from him, but he felt too weak to move. The agonising pain he felt in his chest was something he had never felt before.



Blood was gushing out of his mouth, he had a hard time breathing, he began to breathe through his mouth as if his lungs were squeezing.



The man who walked didn't seem worried or disturbed. He knew for sure that Frederick wouldn't be able to move for so long and that he was still going to drive the sword through his body.



While Frederick crawled for his dear life, he felt something sharp piercing through his leg, and before he could even groan, the man had driven the sword through Frederick's chest.



The man had wanted to prevent his groan from being so loud, so as not to draw attention to himself.



Once he killed Frederick, using his hands, he sent a message to some of the men who hid in the bushes, telling them the coast was clear



All these he said without making a sound from his mouth, he never said a word but the men who came with him understood his hand movement.



They gathered together and removed the masks on their faces and then took off the dark clothes they wore.



Beneath the dark clothes they wore, they had worn some normal casual outfits, and then they stepped into the hallway, confident and their minds fixed on the sole aim of their mission, to kill Alpha Richard and the twins.



Richard was done dedicating Nicholas, and handed him over to Agatha, while he took Bryan up in his arms.



"And this is my first born...", He said out with a loud voice, deep enough to command power, and the strength in his voice, depicted that he had reached the main concept of the celebration.



One of the men who entered the room, his face was dark and devilish, he seemed to be the leader of the crew and at that point, only God knew the kind of thoughts he had running in his head.



He picked up a glass of wine in his hand and was slowly acting normal like nothing ever happened, he sipped slowly from the glass he had in his mind and then walked among the crowd.



The crowd was much and so no one was able to detect him or see him as the bad guy in the room.



"His name is Bryan..", Richard continued his statement again with a deep voice piercing through the grave silence in the room.



Emily sat behind him as he kept on with us statements.



"I love this man..", her wolf growled inside of her sounding very naughty in Emily's ears.



"Okay... Hold on!!", She spoke out in the mind link, replying her wolf who was jumping and being quite unsteady inside of her.



"No need to admire him, he's already yours", she said with a smile on her face and as she pushed her shoulders back and forth showing off more of her beauty.



"And he will take over from me.. ", Richard said his statement looking at Bryan who rested peacefully in his arms.



The man walked away slowly, his hands were in his pocket, slowly bringing up something, while he moved away slowly, trying to get position to throw a dagger at Alpha Richard.



"And now... I proclaim him .. ", he said raising his voice higher as he was about to proclaim Bryan as Alpha.



There was a beautiful lady who stood there, drinking from her glass of wine, she was obviously discussing something with someone which made her laugh.



While she laughed, her eyes met the dark faced man who drew out a dagger from his pocket and held it tightly to himself, waiting patiently for the right time to throw the dagger at Richard.



The lady couldn't control herself, seeing a sharp blade in the hands of a man terrified her to her bone marrow.



She couldn't help but utter out a loud scream. She screamed so hard, pointing her fingers to the man she saw with a dagger in his hands, drawing everyone's attention from Alpha Richard to the man.



Her scream disrupted the proclamation process as even Richard had to turn his attention to where the lady pointed at



When all eyes were fixed on him, then he knew the plan had changed and decided not to be afraid of anyone and just throw the dagger.



He quickly pushed a man who stood in front of him, obstructing his view and his way, he pushed him with a certain force to a side of the room.



The man couldn't handle the force which pushed him to the ground.



Then, when he found the perfect spot, he threw the dagger accurately towards Richard's forehead but then, Richard was quick enough as he sidestepped, ducking the dagger as it flew and pierced a wall.
