Chapter Thirteen: The plans of treachery
Chapter Thirteen: The plans of treachery
Julian flipped through the papers in front of him before turning one of the sentinels of the Silvercrest
pack standing in front of him.
He frowned, "Why are non of the packs replying to my request to forms alliances?"
"I don't know Alpha. But there are whispers going around."
"Whispers about what?"
"They are just whispers Alpha."
Julian glared at him, "You are testing my patience Axel. Tell me what the wolves are saying."
"Well. Some say you cannot be trusted considering the way you became the Alpha."
"I see."
"And also, there are still talks about Aria being the rightful heir."
Julian smiled, "It would be really unfortunate to inform them that Aria will never be returning to the
Silvercrest pack."
Axel raised his head, his eyes conveying the questions, "No she is not dead. At least not yet. But soon
Aria will not be a problem to worry about soon enough."
Axel bowed, "Okay Alpha."
"One more thing. These whispers, are they among the wolves of the pack?"
"I don't really know who the wolves are talking."
"Okay. If you do hear any wolf in the Silvercrest pack questioning my powers, slash their throat on the
spot. If they won't respect me then they will fear me."
***************
Rebecca placed a hand on her stomach as she paced round the room.
"I say we take the wolves we've got and attack. With you and Julian's forces combined, Knox won't
have a fighting chance."
Nikolai stood up, walking in her direction. He stopped in front of her.
"I promise we will attack the territory my love but all in due time. I gave him an ultimatum. When I take
the Nightshade territory, I want the other wolves to see me as a wolf that keeps to my words."
Rebecca sighed as he wrapped his hand around her waist pulling her towards him, "But why hasn't he
said anything. Nothing good ever comes out when Knox is too quiet."
"Relax. He is simply just biding his time. We will hear from him in no time."
"Knox is an extremely powerful wolf and-"
With a frown, Nikolai let go of her waist taking a step backwards from her. He turned away heading to
the window.
Realizing her mistake, Rebecca placed a smile on her face. She walked towards him then ran her hand
down his back.
"I never said he was a more powerful wolf than you. I'm just worried. It was a surprise that he refused
to fight you many years ago because I know Knox and his wolf doesn't take betrayal lightly."
"But why haven't you been worried since?"
Rebecca sighed, placing her hand back on her stomach, "I didn't have them to worry about. What if this
is his revenge? Him coming after our pups."
Nikolai's eyes flashed wolf and the temperature in the air changed as darkness filled it.
"Anyone that comes after my pups will be met with death instantly." His voice boomed.
Rebecca smiled, finally getting the reaction she wanted, "That is why I say we strike earlier so no one
ever has a chance to harm our pups."
"Okay. I will go and talk to Julian now and we will start putting ourselves in place to attack."
"Okay. Thank you Nikolai."
He wrapped his hands around her neck, smashing his lips on her.
After a few seconds he pulled away staring down at her, "You don't have to thank me my love. You and
I have always been together from the very beginning. Now come with me. We have a lot to discuss with
Julian."
"You want me there?"
"Why do you look surprised? You are my Luna. I value your opinion unlike that weak she wolf that
Julian keeps around him."
Rebecca laughed, "I don't know how much longer I can keep pretending that I don't want to claw out
her throat."
"You might not get the chance. I'm sure I will beat you to it."
"You and I were meant to be Nikolai."
~Ten years ago~
Rebecca screamed as Nikolai pounded into her as her orgasm hit her.
With one final thrust he let out a groan before collapsing on her.
He pushed the hair sticking to her face away before smiling, "You have to learn to be quieter."
She kissed him, "You have to learn not to fuck me so good."
Nikolai turned serious, "It's almost time."
"I know and I'm ready."
She turned to him, "Are you?".
His jaw hardened, "More than I've ever been ready to do anything."
"Good. Are you sure no one is aware of the plan?"
Nikolai shook his head negatively, "No. Only those that are a part of it and have agreed to stand by
me."
"So by the next full moon?"
"Knox's father would be dead and I will be Alpha then I will lay out a challenge to Knox."
"You are so confident that he will refuse to fight. What if he does? Knox's wolf would want blood."
Nikolai smiled, getting up and walking to the window.
The moon light reflected through the window on the mirror in the room, casting a beautiful evening
glow.
"I have known Knox my whole life. He will refuse to fight. His wolf will want blood but the man will not
give in."
"Why?"
"Because he considers me family and he will vowed to never spill the blood of family. So when he
refuses to fight, I will banish him."
"There are other wolves that will stand with him."
"I know and they will meet the same fate. Knox will never make it to the borders."
"What do you mean?"
"I have arranged with some lone wolves. As soon as he steps into the woods, the wolves will attack.
And the more wolves side with him, the merrier the lone wolves will be feasting on their bones."
He turned to her, "You remember the plan right?"
Rebecca nodded, "As soon as the shot sounds, I will dig my claws deep into my back and then spill the
blood you gave me on my chest."
"Then Knox will watch as his mate dies in his hands just before he meets his own death."
"You and I were meant to be Nikolai."
"And so it shall be for the rest of time and one day, you will carry my pups."
~Present Day~
The large table stood in the middle of the study, papers scattered across it. Behind it stood a large
chair. The she wolf looked at it snidely.
A perfect definition of Julian's egotistical and arrogant self.
Her eyes traveled to the only artistic item in the room. A large crafted sculpture that had intricate
designs engraved into it.
The she wolf tapped her leg impatiently as she awaited Julian's arrival.
She stood up as soon as he stepped into the room.
"You promised that once I made sure that Aria wore the necklace, I would be free."
Julian smirked at her, "Did I?"
"You lying son of a bitch."
She took a step towards him. His eyes darkened and she stopped in her tracks.
"You are an Alpha. You are supposed to keep your word."
He folded his hands, "Says who?"
Her stance faltered, turning Julian's lips up even more.
"But that is not fair. You promised me my freedom."
Julian ran his hand along the crafted sculpture in his study, "I wonder what Knox would say if he found
out that you have been meeting with me."
The she wolf froze.
"How do you think he would execute you? His claws tearing out your throat or perhaps his wolf biting
into your neck."
"You are a heartless bastard."
"Oh no. I am not. I am definitely not the one on the other side of the room who has been betraying her
pack for the last two months."
The she wolf's voice quivered, "You didn't give me a choice."
"Everyone has a choice. You just chose wrong. You chose to betray your pack."
She gritted her teeth, "I fucking hate you."
"Watch the language."
"Or what? You'll cut off my tongue? Why don't you just kill me and put me out of my misery."
Julian smiled, "Now that won't do either of us any good would it?"
She glared at him, "You summoned me. Why?"
"Well I have another little task for you to carry out and I promise you that -"
"Spare me please if you are going to make promises about my freedom that you can't keep."
"Well then I guess I better get on with it. Oh and don't worry about telling me your name. She already
did."
****************
Eli ground his teeth as he slashed his claws angrily against the trees, "I don't know how much longer I
can take that bitches order."
One of his wolves walked to his side placing a hand on his shoulder, "We understand Eli. But you are
our leader. We were cast aside by our packs. Never believing that we would be bound together again
but you found each of us and gave us another chance."
"Like you said before when you made a deal with her, we are simply just biding our time. Once she
gains your trust, you will strike. Think of how satisfying it would be when you finally rip out her throat."
Eli smiled at his brother. "You always say the right things Noah. Once we have infiltrated the Silvercrest This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
pack, things will go easy from there. And it is working in our favor now that the alliance has been
formed. We will take their packs and kill anyone that stands in our way."
He turned to face his brothers, "Then we will finally have our revenge on the packs that banished us."
Cheers erupted.
Noah patted his shoulder, "So swallow your pride for a little while longer and try not to think of clawing
at her during your meeting."
"It's almost impossible. That bitch is so needy."
***************
Seraphina glared at Eli as he bowed before her, "You are late."
"I apologize Seraphina. Some of my brothers needed help."
She folded her arms, "You won't have brothers to worry about very soon when I stop providing you with
food."
Eli ground his teeth, "Again I apologize Seraphina. It won't happen again."
"It had better not. Adding to the fact that you let Aria escape."
Eli kept quiet.
Seraphina smiled, "Well it's not a problem anymore. Julian already handled it. He is the only wolf that I
can rely on. Well there was a reason I asked you here."
"Who do you want me to kill?"
"It's no wonder that you were cast out of your pack. You quest for blood too much."
Eli's wolf growled in his head but he maintained his composure.
"What is it I need to do Seraphina?"
"I need you to find Lucas. I need you to find my father."
*****************
Julian went around that table finally taking his seat, "You are sure Aria put on the necklace?"
The she wolf nodded, "I saw her put it on."
He nodded, "Good. I need you to poison Knox."
Her eyes went round, "I can't do that."
"If you do it. Then I will let you see her."
She shook her head, "No. I won't do it."
"It's not a deadly poison. Just something to put his wolf to sleep until the battle is over."
"It won't kill him?"
Julian smiled, placing a tiny vile on the table in front of him, "Just a tiny drop in his drink will be enough.
No permanent damage. Nikolai is walking a fool's path if he thinks he has a chance at beating Knox.
We have all heard what his wolf is capable of."
"You are sure it won't kill him?"
"You have my word."
"Your word means nothing to me. What if I refuse?"
"Then it won't be a problem. I will still let you see her. When I send her head to you."
The she wolf gasped.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine if you just do what I say."
She walked towards his table to grab the vile.
Just then the door to his study burst open.
"Julian, we need to talk. I have decided that we will attack tomorrow."
Julian stood up angrily, "I don't care about any fucking alliance. You batch into my study one more time
and interrupt my meeting, I promise you that there will be blood."
Nikolai's wolf lunged to the surface.
Rebecca stepped in between them, "Boys Boys. There is no need for violence. Julian I apologize on
behalf of my mate and I. We were just really excited to share the news."
Rebecca's eyes went to the she wolf standing in the room. They widened before she recovered quickly
and a smile graced her beautiful face.
" Well Well Well. Would you look at what we have here. Long time no see old friend."
