Plan B was a simple one, simple but deadly enough to do the job well. Elder Obada knew very well what it meant and he was ready to take the risk as Rhea had double crossed him. As he walked down to his private quarters, he considered it again, wondering if it was really worth it, selling off the pack where he had grown up as a boy for a little bit of power. Power was something that was very important to him. He had grown up from a poor family, one that was downtrodden by almost all the families of the Black Wolf Pack. His family was like the underdog and he had not enjoyed his childhood one bit. His father had managed to rise to fame however at his death. His father had saved a fellow werewolf from a Lycan back then and he was handed with the honorary title of Elder. It was just a decoration of a title however as he was not even allowed into the meetings for the Elders. They all felt he was not close to their league and if not that they were all scared of the Alpha, Dan Damon, they wo
“What did you say happened to Xavier Damon again?” Ghost asked, his eyes fixed on his daughter, Rhea. As smart as she was, she couldn’t figure out why he asked. Rhea did not suspect that her father knew what had transpired back then. She knew very well that Mork was on her side and the rest of the Lycans had sworn their fealties to her first. She was as dangerous as her father was and as such, they could not even dare to think about double crossing her to tell her father. If they dared it, the worst her father would do would he to punish her for a week and when she was back to her position, she would be able to get back at the people that told on her. That was the major reason Rhea was confident that her father did not know what had happened, but with the way he kept asking about how Xavier escaped, she was sure that he was suspecting foul play.“Xavier Damon fights better than most of us think, father,” Rhea said. “He ambushed us at the East when we were fighting against the Mountain
Rhea stared at her father in shock.“Father?”“Don’t you dare father me!” Ghost thundered and turned immediately to face Mork. “Commander Mork, take the princess captive and keep her in the dungeons. That would be her new home from this day until the end of the war.”Rhea flashed a quick gaze at Mork that Ghost did not fail to take note of. He could see very well the look of fear in Mork’s eyes, that brief hesitation before moving towards Rhea at his second call.“So you not only go behind me to do your will,” Ghost frowned. “You also make my soldiers do as you wish.”“Father!” Rhea said walking up to meet Ghost. “Look at who I got you. Layla Damon, the daughter of your enemy and the servant of the moon goddess. She is far more important than Xavier can ever be. I know what I am doing.”“And I do not know what I am doing huh?’ Ghost stared her down. “So let me get this straight. You ran into Xavier Damon at the the Mountain Ghost pack and you made a deal with him. You let him go free
Rhea Damon woke up with a splitting headache, and in an unfamiliar location. The whole place smelled like urine and she could easily have puked out her dinner, except that she wasn’t sure she had any. Her head was throbbing and her stomach was rumbling. She stood up from the cold wet floor and spun around quickly, assessing the place she was in. She sighed at the realization of where she was. She was in the last cell of the dungeons, the exact cell her father, Ghost had kept her mother for a few years before she died. Rhea had very vague memories of her mother, Elena but she remembered that her mother was a good person. Elena never told her categorically to fight for someone or against. She always encouraged her to do what was right and be at peace with herself and all her life, Rhea had struggled with the littlest of decisions. Schooling with humans was tough for her and a few times she blew her cover and then daddy had to come and clean up the mess which involved taking out everyone
“Sir?” Steve stood up immediately. “What exactly do you want me to tell your daughter.”“Good we are on the same page now,” Ghost smiled. “I don’t care what you want to tell her, as long as the two of you break up after your text.”“Give me just a minute sir,” Steve said bringing out his phone from his pocket. Ghost smiled at him and sat down admiring the house and after about two minutes, Steve looked up at him.“I’m done sir,” Steve smiled. “Take a look at it for yourself.”Ghost stared at his phone screen and a frown creased across his face. “A little too harsh for my daughter but I think that is exactly what she needs at the moment. Thank you for your help. Here’s your money.”Ghost dropped the suitcase in front of him and Steve stared at him, too scared to even touch the money. “Sir, are you sure about this?”“Yes of course,” Ghost smiled. “You think it is too much for you?”“It’s a lot sir,” Steve nodded. “I would remain indebted to you all my life.”“All your life,” Ghost laugh
Few minutes into her stay there, Rhea realized that it was her father, Ghost that had locked her up. The thought of it made her sick to the bones. Her own father locking her up in a dungeon just because she let her cousin go free. She wondered if her father had killed the poor Layla already. She had promised Xavier of the girl’s safety knowing fully well that it was not guaranteed and from the look of things, she was not going to be able to fulfil her promise. Rhea heard a sound just outside the cell and she stood up and looked to see who it was. She was surprised to see that it was Mork, the commander of her father’s army and one of her closest confidante and she smiled immediately, thinking that he was there to set her free.“How come it took you so long to get here?” Rhea frowned staring at his face through the aid of the candle light. Mork frowned as he stepped into the cell and he closed the door behind him. “Food for the night, my princess,” he said as he stepped in. He brought
Xavier could not really hide the fact that he was not happy seeing the person he could recognize well as Mork from a distance barely 72 hours after their battle and the first thing that came to his mind was Layla. Something had happened to his little sister. His mind started judging him without even waiting to hear what Mork had to say and he clenched his fists tight in a bid to suppress the anger that was building up slowly in his chest. If Mork dared tell him that something bad had happened to Layla, he was going to kill the bastard before he even knew what was happening. Jimin who was standing just beside him at the moment sensed his anger and he walked up to meet Mork as he approached them.“If you come with bad news I’ll advise you leave immediately,” Jimin whispered to him as he approached. Mork smiled. “There is no good news when a war is looming is there?” He walked past Jimin, stopped right in front of Xavier and stared him in the eyes. Their eyes met for more than a minute
As Mork walked away from their camp, Xavier knew immediately that things were about to go South for all of them. He had no idea who Mork was referring to when he talked about Steve but he knew that it was not a good thing. Mork had an evil plan and that included him betraying his own princess, Rhea Damon. Xavier was torn between risking his life and the lives of his soldiers to help Layla and Rhea or staying behind and risking losing both of them. Not like he cared very much about Rhea. It was Layla he was concerned about and even though she had told him not to bother himself should anything happen to her, he couldn’t stand the thought of it, or the sight. He had failed her the first time Ghost came. He couldn’t afford to fail her again. Xavier however decided that he was not going to force any of his warriors to ride beside him to the battle. He was not going to force them to fight his battles for him. He was going to do what was right and he was going to do it all by himself. He pre
