Unknown POVAlpha Rick laughed and clapped Bennet on the back warmly as he looked over the map he had just handed him.“Well done Bennet! I wasn’t sure that you had it in you!” He chuckled as Bennet’s face remained grim.“I was given a task, and I completed it. I don’t see why you would doubt my abilities considering the amount of missions that I’ve completed for you already.” He answered in a neutral voice.Allegiances can change at such short notice Bennett! A person can never know when they are going to be betrayed…as your Alpha Ryan is about to find out.” Alpha Rick laughed, tipping his head back and roaring his amusement to the heavens.“You know my reasons for betraying them…” Bennett hissed, “I’ve been left with very little choice.”“Ah come now, don’t be a spoilsport. We should be celebrating. After all, countless Alpha’s have tried to take that bastard Ryan down, but we are going to be the first to do it successfully!” Alpha Rick grinned widely, “Just think how envious our al
Ryan's PoVI stood in disbelief as I listened to the hurried report from Galle’s men through the earpiece I wore and shook my head.This was insane, not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that there would be a conspiracy this big with Bennett as one of the key players.“Bennett’s men are almost at their destination, Alpha. What do you want us to do?” Galle’s grim voice came through the earpiece and Ryan’s face hardened as he lifted the walkie-talkie to speak into.“Take them down.” He instructed with a snarl, “I’ll make my way down with my own men and the map for the new placements of the mines once the threat has been neutralized.”“You got it, boss.” Galle said and I could hear the smirk in his voice, “I’m sure we’ll be done by the time you get down here.”I chuckled at his brazen words despite the situation and hurried from my position on the bell tower, back to the command hall to grab the new plans, and then moved on to gather my men.Galle was right. By the time I g
Unknown PoVBennett and Alpha Rick stared down at the breathless rogue that was knelt before them with disdain clear on their faces.“Well?” Bennett demanded in a cold voice, “Did you complete the mission successfully or not?”“We did, sir. The majority of Alpha Ryan’s elite fighters are neutralized, but we took heavy losses during the fighting.” The rogue said mentally counting down the minutes he had left until the poison stopped his heart. He could already feel the slight tingling sensation in his muscles that showed it was starting to take effect.Bennett reached for his head and yanked his hair to lift his face to the light, sneering at the bloody mess that his face was in before shoving him backward.“And that?” He said, pointing to the rogue's face.“As I said, we took heavy losses, the elite fighters they had assembled were very capable fighters and once the initial surprise of our attack wore off, they fought with ferocity.”“So…what you’re saying is that they outclass even y
Rick's POVI stood proudly on the prow of my ship, looking around at the fleet that I had spent years gathering, each ship filled to the brim with the men that the Alpha’s who supported me had committed to the cause.All I was waiting for now was for Bennett to signal the fleet was ready, and we would begin our assault.Finally, after a tense few minutes, his signal came and the warhorn blared across the sea.“You heard him, boys! Let’s go!” I yelled to cheers and whoops of anticipation and excitement.We moved at a steady speed first, trailing behind the first ships and waiting to make sure that Bennett’s recording of the placement of the mines had been accurate. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him, it was more that I didn’t trust Alpha Ryan not to have somehow managed to change something that would then successfully thwart our attack.Losing one or two ships wouldn’t be the end of the world, but if we sailed headlong into the minefield without being cautious then we would deserve whic
Amber’s PoVI stared blankly at Peter as he lowered his naked body on top of me and I tried to ignore the sensation of my skin crawling and the urge to vomit as his lips and hands explored every part of me under my clothes.We were the only people in the room right now and he wasn’t at all shy or repentant at the fact that I was supposedly under the influence of whatever he had drugged me with. He was clearly enjoying himself immensely as I felt him rubbing his stubby little cock all over my thigh, as he grunted in pleasure.I had thought that something like this might happen, especially with the way that I had seen him look at me during the birthday celebrations that I attended for him and Lily had been very against me coming here.But, because I was left with no other choice but to secure Ryan’s rescue, I had come along anyway, but with additional measures in place. Lilly had managed to procure an antidote to most known poisons and I had drank it before I left, although she did caut
Unknown PoVWe had been asked to stand down while Peter entertained his ‘guests’.We all knew what that meant.We were to keep our distance until he called for us to remove the victim, whatever state they might be in, and remain silent about doing so.Truthfully, it didn’t sit well with any of us but really, it was none of our business. We were paid to guard and follow his commands, so that is what we did.This time it was a little different though. Usually, he had finished with his guests by now, and as the minutes ticked by I was becoming increasingly concerned.“Everything okay, boss?” One of the guards asked me as he looked up from his game of cards.“I don’t know,” I scowled, “It’s been a while…”“Well, maybe this one has a little more stamina than the other. I haven’t seen him this obsessed with a female before so maybe he’s taking his time with her.” he shrugged as my scowl deepened.I couldn’t explain it, but a sense of unease grew in my stomach until finally, I couldn’t take
Author's POVKelly slammed her phone on the table in anger and clenched her teeth. It had taken less than five seconds to finish reading that text, and only two to inflame her anger to boiling point.She wanted to scream and rage at the unfairness of it all, but there were people watching...her servants had already arrived to help her get ready and the last thing she needed was for them to cause a scene with their pathetic whimpering and crying.What she wanted to know was how did it all go so wrong? They had planned everything meticulously, to the point that all eventualities were covered, yet, somehow, that fucking Alpha Ryan, the Alpha King’s favorite, had still managed to screw everything up.“Luna?” One of the servants called timidly, “Come and take a seat, and let us finish doing your hair. It’s almost time to go and meet with some of the other Luna’s.”“I know what time it is,” Kelly snapped as she stormed across the bedroom and threw herself in the chair.Even as the maid brus
Amber’s PoVPeter struggled and yelled loudly as he was led away, his protests loud and drowning out Ryan as he tried to speak with Andrew. I had to hold back my wolf from forcing a shift again as she snarled furiously in my head at the sheer audacity of his fury at being caught and punished for his crimes.Once the door to the throne room shut behind him and his objections faded into the distance, I breathed a quiet sigh of relief as my wolf settled back rumbling in irritation. Ryan turned to Andrew with a scowl and I listened attentively, hoping to find out the truth of what had happened rather than my father’s lies.“Thank you for taking this so seriously,” Ryan said gruffly as the King nodded seriously.“How can I not? Regardless of his connection to me, Ryan, he still broke the law and must be punished accordingly.” Andrew paused as his eyes flicked to me and then back to Ryan, “I should really be the one thanking you, though. You could have demanded the death penalty, and rightf
