The second I stepped out of Bastien''s penthouse and into my SUV, I let the Nikos that Mia loves
fall away. There''s no room for him on this mission; if I''m going to get Maxim back, I''ll need to shed
myself of any warmth andpassion.
I knew it was Maxim''s finger Mikhail had sent to me because I know my Beta. Moreover, the finger
wasn''t just cut off, it was bitten off by a sharp pair of teeth - Mikhail''s no doubt. The trap is as clear
as day, and I''ll let him believe I''m dumb enough to do this rescue mission.
It''s different this time; there''ll be no ying around or taunting. I have something to fight for and
he’s shown me on more than one asion that this war will only end with his death.
We''ve driven through various territories throughout the day, and it''s close to midnight when we
finally arrive a few miles outside of his border. Dressed in ck and armed with weapons to fight
our own kind if we''re unable to shift.
We park the SUV in the woods and walk the rest of the way; me plus five of my most trusted
Gammas at my side - my sensory division simply known as Pente.
/“Ghost, circle the perimeter and let us know the location and position of every wolf around Popov''s
border,”/ I instruct my Scouting Gamma.
He nods and his blue eyes sh pure white as he says, /“Yes, Alpha,”/ before taking off and running
silently.
The reason I gave Ghost the position of Scout is that he''s my fastest Gamma and has infiltrated
various packs, allowing us to enter safely. His real name is Divan but he''s known as Ghost, the same
name as his beast. But just like Ghost, all my Gammas have codenames.
Maxim refused their help and instead headed in with a few of his own warriors, a decision I knew he
would regretter on.
/“Harken, listen out for any approaching enemies behind Ghost. Descry, shift, and be our eyes and
nose. Panzer and Armata, you two stay at my side and prepare to engage. Stay in contact through
the mind-link."/
Through my orders, they simply nod and do as I instruct while we go about our nned attack. I
don''t have to worry about these five betraying me, because I gave them something worth fighting
for.
These are the Gammas I trust at my back, the ones I removed out of dangerous situations when
they were just kids and trained their gifts to the best of their abilities. Thus, they have sworn their
lives to me.
/“Ten warriors stationed at every weak entry point,”/ Ghostes through over the mind-link.
/“Armed with silver daggers and modified Berettas.”/
He chuckles and spins the bat in his hand. “I find it easier to kill without being seen; who likes prey
that fights back, anyway? Ask my Omega whore, I''m sure she knows what I mean,” he says, pushing
my buttons right off the bat, but I can’t let him see mentioning her affects me.
“Ah, I always liked killing cowards,” I say, cracking my neck. “Their blood tastes sweeter.”
The smirk drops from his face when I lunge at him and he raises the bat again. I grab it as he swings
it, the metal burning my skin, and throw it to the side far out of his reach.
"What, scared of getting your hands dirty?” I say with a grin and sidestep him when he hurls his
body at me. He might be tall and muscr, but from what Mia has told me, Mikhail is not the battle
type.
I catch the fury in his eyes as he swings his closed fist at me, but I grab it and crush his bones
beneath my hand. Rearing back, I aim a punch at his nose, and an excited shiver shoots up my spine
each time I hear the satisfied crunching of his bones.
The sound of his cries brings a smile to my face and after a final punch to his face, I twist his hand,
pulling his arm clean off.
I don’t know what the fuck I was expecting, but an Alpha this weak wasn''t it.
He falls back and cradles where his arm should be, shrieking in pain before bellowing a thunderous
roar. “Fucking cunt! Blyad''! Asshole! Look what you fucking did!” he snivels and I walk towards him,
only to feel something hit my arms, back, and legs in quick session
I look up and see a smirking sniper and feel the redser aimed right at my forehead, but that smirk
drops from his face when my lip curls into a smile. Ghost was standing behind him, his eyes
completely white as he tapped into his beast - that sniper''s head hit the floor in front of me before
he could fire another shot.
Ghost grins, then he disappears in the blink of an eye and I don''t even have to look behind me to
know he''s ripped more sniper heads off.
“What the fuck!” Mikhail exims as each of the heads hit the ground and I walk towards him with
my hands in the pockets of my cargo pants.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
“That,” I say as I grab his throat and m him to the ground. “Is what you call a true fucking
warrior.”
A sudden burning pain hits my side and I block it out before I rip off the head of the man who
caused Mia so much pain. Watching as the light leaves his eyes, an appreciative growl thrums in my
chest, and a smile curls my lips.
I don''t take it easy on him, either; I pull painfully slow, embedding my ws in his skin and reveling
in the sound of his pained screams. The sound of your enemy suffocating on his own blood -
fucking music to my ears.
For added measure, I rip out his heart and stomp on his severed head. Fucker, this is the easy way
out if you ask me. He deserved more than a quick death in my opinion.
I get to my feet and stumble backward, but a familiar back breaks my fall and puts my arm around
his neck.
"You''re a fucking mess,” Maxim says as he pulls out the silver Karambit knife Mikhail had stabbed
me with before I killed him. “Gods, Nikos.”
I chuckle and blood dribbles down my chin. “You''re my brother; I''d die for you,” I say and see white
spots dancing in my eyes again. “Ah, I think...it had wolfsbane-"
“Easy, I got you,” Maxim says as I sway, uneasy on my feet. “We need to leave before this ce has
any more surprises. The twins set up a few bombs to go off in the next few minutes.”
Leave it to them to do that. Then again, their code names are battle tanks so it''s to be expected.
They''re as huge as those vehicles and they both like seeing things explode. Ha, I have crazy men at
my back, don''t 1?
"Alpha, the entire pack has been obliterated. Harken is bringing the SUVs around,” Ghost says as he
appears from nowhere. Even though he’s killed so many, he’s not covered in blood. “The twins are
on their way but Descry is still keeping a lookout.”
“Thank you, Divan,” I murmur before leaning forward and emptying whatever is in my stomach.
“Fuck, I need this wolfsbane burned out of my system.”
Without another word, both Ghost and Maxim carry me out of that pack house and into the SUV. I
need to get home to my Mia, I need to tell her I seeded.
Myst view of Mikhail''s mansion is as it explodes.
