“I won’t tell anyone and Lucianna won’t harm her friend. Your secret is safe with us but think of what I just said, Aiden. You need to act accordingly and plan this thoroughly. Wars shouldn’t be made in an impulsive reasons. Hundreds of life is at stake and you need to take your pack under consideration. Its our duty as Alpha.”
“You don’t understand, Jacob. A stealer like Ashira can be stolen with a process that someone like Elon may know how. A mateless wolf with knowledge of rare potions like him have a dark enchantress behind his back. Supporting him. If he succeeded, my mate won’t even remember who I am and what I am to her.”
“So? You can’t think of a solution for a problem that is yet to exist. The mate bond is strong, you can think of a solution after you’ve successfully saved Ashira if Elon will precede on stealing her. And you can only do that if you are still alive!”
“You don’t get it! I can’t waste time! This is not just my mate we are saving but my child, too!”
“Oh my! Ash is pregnant?!” Lucianna blurted out.
I nodded at her and sighed.
“Elon will want to execute stealing Ashira to have a successor of his title. And I have a feeling that he’ll do it soon.”
A long silence filled around us. Jacob was thinking and I think he finally understand the reason of my impulsive decision.
Damn. This conversation already killed a lot of time.
“I know you understand now.” I turned to Nick. “Follow my instruction, we can’t waste any more minutes.”
“I’ll join you then. I won’t leave a brother behind.” Jacob said.
I looked at him with narrowed eyes. I can’t believe he will support me on this but I need every help I can gather right now.
I nodded and reached out my hand to Jacob. A sign of appreciation. He took it and gave me a tap on my shoulder.
“Uh, excuse me.”
Our eyes went to the person standing on the opened entrance door. Zeke were huffing as he stands there.
“We can surely attack Ravenous pack right now even without the alliance of other pack.” he said and raised his hand where he holds a piece of paper.
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?
Simon

“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 fu*ckers! Ahhhhhh!”
I tossed every fu*cking 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 fu*cking knew rogues are deceiving but I made a pact with those elders and they fu*cking-
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
“Rogues are not in a pack and they won’t have a bond like of a pack.”
