Call me Alpha

Chapter 53: Unexpected Turn of Events

Aiden’s POV

“What?” I asked Zeke as he quickly stepped forward to our direction.

My eyes didn’t left the piece of material he have in his hand.

I can smell a fainted scent of an outsider mixed with an ink on that paper and I figured that its a letter, probably from a rogue.

“A trusted friend knew I’m working with your pack in return for my mother’s health and he managed to send this news to me.” he handed me the letter and I quickly opened it.

Z,

I noticed your interest with the vague transaction of the fifth North pack with the rogues and decided to let you know the news you probably didn’t heard of yet. Despite the bribing made by Elon of Ravenous to the rogues, no participation on their part will occur. I pity the poor Alpha for being used though he deserved it, don’t you think?

Though the elders who disguised themselves as leaders will lose their lives.

P.S. I don’t know how to deliver this message so maybe your Alpha friend can retrieve me from the pack guards?

“Is this true?” Nick who’s reading the letter next to me asked Zeke and I looked up from the paper to Zeke for answers.

“I told you he’s a trusted friend.”

“How about the blood oath?”

“That Alpha was an idiot to wrap the rogues under a blood pact, believing we got a leader. Rogues are rogues. The elders who displayed themselves as leaders sacrificed themselves in the first place for the supply they needed that Elon gives.”

Nick nodded. “I’m not sure if this is genuinely true but since you said your friend is trustworthy…”

“This won’t change a thing, right? We’re still going to attack whether what written in that letter is a fact or not.” Zeke cut Nick.

And he’s right.

No one can stop me from saving Ashira, anyway.

I looked at the people around me and their eyes showed intense determination that fueled this fight even more.

“Let’s not waste any more time.” I said. “Nick, prepare the shifters as I instructed. I’ll inform Aros and David about this change of plan.”

Nick nodded and he was gone in an instant.

“I’ll join the attack. I want to save my best friend.” Lucianna said. I watched Jacob snapped his neck to look at his mate. I knew he’s against it.

“No. You’ll stay here.” Jacob refused.

“You’re underestimating me again, Jake.” she looked Jacob straight in the eyes. As if talking inside their personal portal.

Jacob sighed. “Don’t get lost in my sight.”

I decided to leave the two of them and headed for the office. I grabbed my phone then called David and Aros in conference.

“I’ll be executing the attack right now. News reached to me that the rogues will betray Elon and Ashira is in grave danger more than the both of you knew. I put the matter of whether you’ll want to bring your battalion or not in your hands.”

The conference ended and both Alpha insisted that they will stick with the previous plan though the matter of their arrival will still be the same considering the distance.

‘Aiden, we’re ready.’ Nick mind-linked me. I exhaled a hot breathe before responding to him.

‘Ashira?’ I’m reaching our portal. ‘I’m coming to get you.’

Elon’s POV

“Those fuckers! Ahhhhhh!”

I tossed every fucking things near me and it hit the walls, my screams draining the oxygen inside my lungs.

“Alpha Elon, I warned you about this. Rogues are traitors, they will never change.” Marion, my beta, said as if I didn’t know that now!

I took the risk and failed again! I fucking knew rogues are deceiving but I made a pact with those elders and they fucking-

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

“Rogues are not in a pack and they won’t have a bond like of a pack.”

“I fucking know, fucking Beta! Shut the fuck up!”

I have no more cards left. The bitch of a stealer mate of Aiden is already pregnant! I won’t be able to produce a descendant by using her! I should have killed that bitch rather than taking her here! If I only knew she’s worthless!

And those fucking worthless rogues are fucking cowards! They sent a fucking letter of insult to me, informing me of their wicked deceit!

“What’s your next plan now, Alpha Elon?” my Gamma, Tharus, spoke.

I screwed my eyes shut and my nose flared as I inhaled hastily.

Plan.

Plan.

Plan.

“Some of our pack’s shifters are rejecting your command to participate this war, Alpha Elon. No one wants to fight anymore ever since you sacrificed the lives of those young soldiers for revenge with the Prime.”

My teeth gritted upon remembering the downfall of my own pack. I am left with nothing.

In the end, I can’t even avenge my father.

My narrowing eyes opened and Marion almost jumped when my glare directed on him.

“I’ll kill that bitch so that full-of-himself-Aiden will get weak! I’ll kill him, too!”

I will definitely be killed.

If I can’t use that worthless stealer and can’t fight with Prime, then I’ll leave a scar on Aiden’s life and be satisfied watching him suffer at my afterlife!
