Chapter 66ETHAN'S POVHaving reached the border I was stopped by the sentinels, I was shocked that they couldn't even recognize their Alpha, a lot of things had changed since his death was announced."Who are you and where are you coming from?" The tone was hard and fierce, knowing that they were faking, I decided to play along with them."I'm Ethan a merchant of gold and I've brought it here to sell it off and return back home" I divulged staring into his eyes."Where?" He inquired, staring down at me."The forest where my Father left me an old cabin the only property that I had" They chucked silently, knowing that it was hard for me, they had concluded that it was my mother's gold I would sell."Are you really serious?" he utters as he looks deep into the back seat of the truck."Let's have a look at the jeweleries" he uttered as I turned my back, shuffling through the bags at the back, I pulled out Irene's box of jewelries."They're really worth a lot of fortune, I hope you have g
CHAPTER 67IRENE'S POVI was glad when Paul's father walked into my room, he was pissed at his son for walking into my room."Don't you have some mode of respect or decency for your brothers wife... Give her space cut her some slack and stop being that pest that'll drive her nuts" He retorted in a mild tone."Oh father I didn't mean it this way, I'm sorry Irene, it would never happen again... Father I was only here to inform her about the lunch and the dinner banquet at night when she would be given the mandate to rule as the chief of the guards in this pack" I stuttered in a mild tone."In that case you can leave I'll help you do that since you began with harassment" his father uttered as he pushed him outside."My apologies ma'am""My son's a very jovial human being and sometimes he behaves like a fool" His father confessed as he sat on my bed."I miss my son so much that sometimes i regret ever having the thoughts of killing him" He divulged as he felt pity on Ethan."What even pus
XAVIER'S POVI had to discover what she wanted before she said it but my plan never worked."You don't have to know what I want, with you by my side we could take on the throne and no one would stop us""What are you insinuating?""Don't act like a child, I want you to be my partner, it's always been my dream to rule both packs but I couldn't, I tried to woo your brother but he fucked me real good and left me for that low life princess, her father has a motive for letting Paul marry his daughter but I've got to beat them to it""That's quite hard to plan""You're the missing piece in my puzzle, I've been looking for someone who knows way and routes around the castle and you're the right man for that job and the fact that everyone knows that you're dead you don't have any worries,""And what if I don't help you?""Then your little girlfriend pays for your disobedience, she's the commander of the guards but I've got many people watching her, like maids, soldiers and even drivers. I coul
CHAPTER 69IRENE'S POV"Your desire is to rule the both packs as the supreme leader, I can help you achieve that but we have to work together" I knew what her desires were, the book revealed that to me."I can't see myself forming a partnership with you, you're not my class" She retorted, staring into my eyes, I couldn't make her see that I was begging for her partnership, I wanted to leave her with no choice than to accept me as her partner in her quest for the throne."Well if I'm not for you then I'm against you and trust me when I say this you would never get a glimpse of your desires" I chortled in a mild tone."Is that threat?" She inquired in a mild tone."No it's not, it's just a request that I would give you time to think about, when you've made your decision let me know, use the door behind you" I uttered loving the fact that I had gained dominance over Arianna, this was an easy task. Having her under my will has brought me a greater chance of saving Paul from her execution.
IRENE'S POVI was surprised when the guards hailed me all through the way back to the castle, staring at Ethan standing close to another woman got me pissed I didn't like the fact that he was with another woman, asking him about it would be the only way I get to have my answer."Father you should have seen how we had them killed, they fled for their lives but we have their leader in our custody, you'll do to him as you please" I sighed in a mild tone."Who's your leader?" The Alpha inquired in a mind tone."The life we have is given to us and taken when the time is right" he screamed as an arrow was shot straight to his heart, he died instantly."Where did that come from?" I couldn't deny the fact that someone surely shot that arrow deliberately.The crowd was too much so I knew it was hard for us to know who exactly shot that arrow."Whoever it is we have to find out" I uttered staring at Paul as I made him walk with me."Who do you think shot that arrow?" He asked as we walked toget
ETHAN'S POV"Yes I've decided to help you but on the condition that you guarantee the safety of my family including my father," I conceded to your words."That's not possible my dear friend" I could see the anger in Deville's eyes, but I cared less about her words."What do you mean?" I was wondering what she couldn't spare my father from her ambitions."Your father did a lot of things that his death can only be the way to pay for his sins" At this point I needed another answer from my father which I couldn't get because it was concluded that I was dead.."I can't let you kill my father" I stuttered staring at the arrows and gun pointed at me I couldn't bring myself to raise my voice at Deville she had them all at her beck and call."If we won't kill him, his hands would have pay for what he did," I knew at this point she was hell bent on killing my "Are you going to cut his hands off?" I inquired wondering why she stood on her feet and tapped my shoulders."You see the reason why I
IRENE'S POV"You really had my father hooked there's no way he wouldn't give us his approval" Paul was impressed at my words and I couldn't hold a grudge against him."I said the right words and you should learn to stand face to face with your father and don't lie to him" I couldn't see myself getting afraid of my father, I knew he was strict but when it came to pressing matters I had to put him in the shoes where he would have no choice than to pay heed to my words."Well that's my brother's doing and not mine" Paul chortled, I knew he was referring to Ethan, Ethan was definitely a man that I knew could even fight with his father if he had the chance to."You need to man up, maybe if he's here you'll learn a whole lot better""I won't lie to you, Ethan's the only reason why I'm bold and courageous. Whenever he's here I feel the urge to be brave just like him""You have to make him proud by standing bold without him, he would be proud when he sees you standing out and taking that posi
ETHAN'S POV"We all should know that in life our enemies are meant to be" Deville never got tired of rallying her men, always making them feel that bone between a leader and a follower."Destroyed" They all chorused, "And our friends""Employed" these words got me amused to a certain point, I was a bit surprised when the words were said, I was a bit curious to know what exactly happened and why they were referring to me as being employed into the pack."We've employed this young fellow here and he's going to take us to glory, we would fight against them and defeat them and when that happens he's the one that would lead us. Ethan you're going to be the leader of this pack while I would be your beta, I want you to have this mantle, take it and lead us into defeating your father and for once in centuries give us what's rightfully ours" I was shocked when she said these words and all the members of the pack were in support of her words, looking at the grave consequences of accepting this
