Chapter 67 – It’s About To Begin
DEMON’S POV
“Alpha, we are ready, as you asked we have already completed the underground way towards the Silver Shine now. Other than us, no one will find that way, including that Alpha of Silver Shine” Jax informed. “Our men are just waiting for the perfect invasion timing”
“Good” I grinned, “it’s finally time to get Silver Shine and it’s treasure this time. I would like to see what Cassius will do to save his pack. Won’t he be too surprised to see his own pack was surrounded by us?” I laughed. “I guess he has been living too well, it’s time to bring some chaos in his peaceful life. I heard his son is 3 years old?”
“Yes, his name is Josue,” Jax replied with a nod.
“Great, now I pity that little boy who wouldn’t have a future to live. I want to see Cassius’s face when his son’s neck would be in my grasp. What do you think about it Jax? Won’t that sight be too exciting? I felt my body is already shaking with pleasure just thinking about that”
Jax grinned “as you say Alpha. Our men are all craving for the blood of Silver Shine. They want to invade the territory and make it a history”
I laughed “I liked that spirit. My brother was wronged and died in his hands. I will never let his death go to waste. The whole Silver Shine has to pay for it” I clenched my fist as darkness clouded my eyes. “that bastard Cassius took something which couldn’t be returned and now I want to see what he will do when I kill his son in front of his eyes and enjoy his mate. I have waited long enough and not anymore”
“Alpha what’s your instructions now? Shall we take the charge?”
“We will but not directly. It will alert the enemies and we couldn’t risk that. I want to attack at the right moment when they are enjoying their time. I want to see those fearful expressions and worried faces. Tell Harry to lead the first troop in the tunnel and hide there. They will be the secret army in the fight. When the enemies has used all their fucking options to go against us, signal then to come out and attack. I want to play good card this time, there’s no taking any fucking risk”
“Yes, Alpha I will immediately inform Harry about the plan. He was already back from the mission you sent”
“He is? Call me first. I want to talk to him”
Jax nodded and after a few minutes Harry walked in. He bowed and stood straight.
“How far have you gone with the work?” I asked as I looked at him darkly.
“Alpha as you asked, we have completed the secret tunnel which reached the ground area near the pack yard. We couldn’t go further since there is a tight security system and any movement would alert them. We had to stop there and make it as our base”
I nodded, “Cassius is really good at securing his area which is why no one was able to invade Silver Shine till now. But that history is going to change and I want to see his face when that happens. The precious pack he was securing his heart out all these years will get destroyed right in front of his eyes and he as the Alpha couldn’t do anything” I gritted my teeth. “What about the other tunnels? Are they ready?”
“Yes, it was ready. As planned the first tunnel covers the outer forest part. Our men surrounded the whole area while the second one was up to their second security base. Though we have enough army to invade it, it won’t be easy. The third one goes directly to their training area which is just near the main pack. They had another security base to protect the pack house but the thing is no guards could be seen there” the Jax nodded.
I frowned at his information. No one was guarding then how come it was a security part? “Prepare three troops and I want them separately to take charge in each tunnel. First troop should wait outside and Jax I want you to lead the second troop. You should find a chance to weaken the security power and attack them. If possible kill them all then wait for the next signal. As for the third one I will personally lead the troop and directly attack the pack. They won’t take the attack seriously if I don’t show myself. I also want to see what kind of cards Cassius has in his hand” I turned to look at Harry, “you are leading the secret tunnel and would wait there. When you get the signal you will attack them with your troop and catch them off-guard. Once they are surrounded by us and their security doesn’t work anymore, it will be the time to get even with every fucking thing”
“Alpha, when should we start the mission?” Harry asked.
I smirked “right at this moment”
Cassius oh Cassius your doom is coming to grab your neck and strangle you to death. But are you ready? Where will you go at this time? Can you escape the clutch? I am looking forward to it.
JOHN’S POV
“There’s a report from the border. It says some movements were noticed under the ground. But it was too light and couldn’t be discovered” I said as I placed the report on the desk.
“Demon is starting his plan” Cassius’s expression was solid and unwavering. “I guess it won’t take time for him to reach here. We must execute our planning too”
“Since they are Hell Hound, it’s natural that their planning would include underground techniques. It’s not only about fighting but I guess they will be using it to weaken our powers too” Hardwick said.
“Of course they are. What those bastards know other than that. I can see they are leading their army through the underground tunnels to sneak attack. They think they have gotten all the advantages hiding under the ground” Devak clenched his fist. “Those motherfuckers are truly admirable, only knows how to destroy and bring chaos to the world”
“They are all beasts. It’s really bad they were born werewolves. In the huge clan there are many great cruel leaders around yet Hell Hound is the only one who were discarded from the clan. Those beasts in Demon’s lair eat raw meat and drink blood which already took their sanity long ago” Cassius replied.
“Don’t worry, even if their underground technique has high value it won’t work this time. If Demon thinks he could get the upper hand and take advantage because he has planned so well then he will be totally surprised for what we have got for him” Hardwick smirked “we weren’t working our ass off to get beaten by them. If they eat meats then we know how make them puke out”
Devak laughed out loud and uttered “waggish”.
“I have already made the map, here” I spread the paper on the desk “if they are using the underground technique they would definitely go for the security system first. Weakening the security part would give them huge advantage as it will weak our power too which will make easier for them to attack and capture our people” I pointed to the area where our security base was located “this area was near the outer forest so it makes easier for them to invade”
“They won’t stop with it ” Cassius frowned as he stared on the map. If I am not wrong, Demon will try to seize the whole area so there won’t be any loopholes and chances for us to escape. Given to his cruel mind, he would want to kill every person present in the pack”
“Let him come” Hardwick pulled out the market and drew a few lines on the map. “Their underground technique will only be restricted under the ground. Once they come out of their shell they are just like others. And obviously they couldn’t fight staying hidden in the ground. So let’s place our people here, to watch them over closely. Clear the security area and replace them with the trainers. Upon watching them from the high I would like to see how long those worms could hide themselves in the ground”
“Demon must be leading the group by himself. But he won’t come alone. I have the feeling I will be facing him soon. He is a miscreant asshole who would play all the dirty tricks he could get in his hand. He must be targeting the pack house specially looking for my weakness” Cassius’s tone was coarse and his expression was hardened.
“Don’t worry, that bastard won’t be able to harm anyone. We will make sure of it. This battle was destined to happen whether it’s today or tomorrow. Let him come, his destruction was dragging him here” Hardwick patted Cassius’s shoulder with assurance.
“Even if they use underground techniques in the pack to get their advantage he has to see if it can work. I have already prepared everything, it’s just a matter of time until he arrives here, ” I told them.
“I can’t wait to face him and shred him in pieces” Cassius gritted his teeth.
When I walked inside my room I found Reese was reading a book sitting on the couch. She was so engrossed in her reading that she didn’t notice me at all. I walked to her and grabbed the book from her hand catching her attention.
“You are back, why are you so late?” She smiled. I picked her up and walked towards the bed.
“Why are you still awake? It’s already midnight” I asked as I placed her on the bed and pulled her to me.
“I was not feeling sleepy and thought of reading a book to kill the boredom. And luckily I found an interesting book”
“You look happy” I traced her cheek with my finger.
“I couldn’t help myself” she smiled, “I have you, my family why shouldn’t I be happy?”
I smiled at her words and leaned down to kiss her. She gasped at first but returned the kiss with equal favor. Our tongue danced in the same rhythm as we fought for dominance. I bit her lips making her moan and deepened the kiss. We panted once we pulled away. Reese touched my cheek gently.
“You look tense. What happened?” I closed my eyes, feeling her touch. It’s so calming and relaxing. I sighed, I fear this war is not only for myself but for her too. I don’t want her to get hurt by any means. Fighting a war never ends with a peaceful treaty; it means to face some loss.
“Azrael?”
“The war, it’s about to begin” I whispered.
