Chapter 55

CASSIUS’ POV

 It had to work this time. It just had to. The resources that went into hiring warriors and trackers that had taken the dark path, were not little. It was like pouring water into a basket. So far, I had gotten no result so I threw in everything. I found twenty assassins and paid them to work together towards one goal. It was expensive to target the royal family so imagine using twenty people to target a royal wolf. So it had to work out. It had to.

Alpha Koa somehow managed to evade my traps but this time, even if he did not die, I had instructed them to maim him to the point where him becoming king would forever be out of the question. It cost me the equivalent of the pack’s five-year budget to get this together so it had to work. It just had to.

When I ensured the men had set out as I instructed, I went back home, exhausted to my bones. When I got home, the first person I wanted to see was Persephone.
