Liam’s POV
” What a great night you had, Greg,” my voice boomed inside my office where I sat finishing up some work. I raised my gaze at him as he took a seat, Greg simply shrugged with no expression on his face.
” Of all the ladies I still can not believe you chose the witch,”
” It just happened,”
” Who you stick your cock into is none of my business, nevertheless, you have to be careful around that woman, she is dangerous,”
” I know, I just__I mean I tried to resist her charms, but you know it simply happened.”
Serai has helped in the way she can in breaking the curse, however, you cannot trust a witch especially one as strong as Serai is, I am simply looking out for my best friend.
The search for the traitor went on, yet we still had not gotten any leads, I was starting to get frustrated with all this chaos happening. Lincoln had called the other day about receiving another message, this unknown enemy was going the extra mile only to terminate me.
Macy and I went on with her training every morning; she was getting better as each day passed, Lori often visited, and those times were Macy’s favorite days as they would chat for so many hours. I knew my mate missed her old life and work, however, it was best for her to stay here beside me where I could watch over her.
The witch disappeared a few days back and my Beta has been sober, he spent the last few days before her departure in her bed. According to his words: They were simply having fun. Which did not concern me,
Today I had a meeting with Darren, and he asked for this session, for us to meet outside our packs. Warily, I agreed to his request, anticipating to know the reason for this meeting. After getting ready that morning, I left Waterfall alone,
Finally, I arrived at our meeting point and Darren was already there with his Beta, I strolled out of my car toward them.
” What is this meeting about, Darren,”
” Alpha Liam, straight to the point as usual, why don’t we go in first, then we can talk.”
Darren says with a half smile on his face, I sneer at his words before going after him as he led the way. It was a warehouse and seats were already arranged for us. We both took our seats adjacent to one another, while his Beta stood on his feet.
I glanced around the space and noticed a few more men at the edges, I furrowed my brow at what I caught a glimpse of.
” They are merely here to keep watch on my property,” Darren voiced out, after noticing my observation.
” Since when do you keep men on stand-by solely for a property as this size?”
” Well I have had rare cases of larceny, that is by the way. I have called you for a reason, Alpha Liam,”
” Which is?” I asked impatiently,
” Well my sister Beatrice found her mate a few weeks ago, She did not fancy his status and personality and ended up killing him.”
I chuckled at his comments, yet it stunned me that Beatrice would do such to her mate!
” So why am I here, Alpha Darren?”
” His pack uncovered the truth about his death and is out for war with our pack, I need you to help me in the fight, Liam,”
I stared at him unbelievably as those words left his lips, what the fuck! ” You expect me to go to the war with you! You are fucking sick,” with that, I stood up to leave.
” Liam wait, I tried to make a truce with them, but they refused, they wanted Beatrice’s life as retribution. And I cannot let that happen, she is my sister and my blood. Look, I know you did not end things well, however you used to love her, right? So I seek your help, please.”
I turned my back to glance at this deranged man in front of me, “Do you hear yourself, Darren, that innocent man had a family too, simply because he was not up to her status, she killed him, and now you want me to help go to war for someone as selfish as she is? Well, never, I would not sacrifice my time and energy for Beatrice. And you thought wrong, Darren, I never loved your sister, she was all over me when I clearly stated to her, we were just fuck companions.”
Darren’s eyes turned into that of his wolf at my comments, he was angry, at my words, yet I cared less because I spoke the truth. I turned around to leave his sight, I was pissed to realize this entire journey was a waste of time when I had my problems at hand.
I walked a few steps away from him when his next words halted me,
” I am aware of the attack on you, in fact, my sources have confirmed the date of the invasion,”
I quickly veered around to meet his gaze, he now had both hands in his pocket with a smile on his face.
” What did you say?” I asked in a whisper,
” You heard me right, Liam, my sources have confirmed the attack on Waterfall. You, my dear friend, have earned numerous adversaries along the line, and currently are all in pursuit to ruin you and your pack.”
I moved closer to him in slow strides until we stood inches apart, my eyes transit to that of my wolf, “How the fuck are you aware of this?”
” I have my way, Liam now I believe we both need each other in this, you help me and I help you. The ball is in your court.”
” How do I know you are not lying,” I questioned, knowing that Darren could be saying all of this because he requires my help.
” The rumored person involved in these Rogue attacks is said to be a woman, Liam, I hope this strikes something,”
My eyes searched his as we stared at each other if he knew this much then he was telling the truth because I know Callum would not spill what found out to anyone. Then again, it intrigued me to know the reason Darren was suddenly interested in my pack.
” Why did you go to these lengths to find out these things about my pack?”
“As I mentioned earlier, we need each other, so I had to dig deep to assist you, so you can help me too.”
His response made sense, as typical of Darren, he made sure to offer to get something in return. As selfish as always. ” So when is the invasion?”
” Not so fast, Liam, you help me and I help you remember, I cannot tell you right now until you have accepted to help me first.”
I rolled my eyes at his utterances, Darren thinks everyone is like him. ” I never go back on my word, Darren, you should know that,”
” That is great then, I will send all the information through email. The pack is the Wood lake’s pack, and Liam, it is in a few days, so be prepared.”
I strode out of the warehouse angry with what just transpired in there, how the fuck did Darren even get to know about the unknown woman, my mind was in a frenzy. That conniving selfish bitch Beatrice had to murder someone innocent for being paired with him.
Beatrice was my call-girl for a few months back then, everything started when I visited their pack once for a party, and she had just gotten back from Asia at that time. Beatrice desired me at first scenery, I did my best to avoid her, yet she pushed more, and eventually, we had sex.
For me, it was a one-time thing, I never intended to fuck her twice. However , the bitch came for more, and she understood my need to dominate which most women could never give me what loved; submission. Beatrice was submissive in all aspects and after a few times, my wolf and I enjoyed sex with her. I have always loved it rough and hard and at that moment Beatrice allowed me to have my way with her how and whenever I wanted.
Later on, I got bored with her when she wanted more, begging and pleading for me to mark her as mine. I stirred clear of her ever since her obsession with me began.
Beatrice has always been an ambitious woman, who craved power. Yet, I never believed she could ever go the length of killing her goddess chosen.
I drove back to Waterfall with countless thoughts in my head, Rage was silent the entire time. I needed to figure out when this entire war was going to start and on the other hand, Darren’s proposal was hideous. Going to war with him for the soul of an innocent werewolf, I entirely wished I had another way. Callum had not sent any information or any of my other sources, and I was running out of time.
I got to the mansion and went straight to my office, I opened my laptop to see an email sent from Darren; “I hope you have made up your mind, we move in three days, the attack on Waterfall is not until in fourteen days, so we have enough time to prepare. I have decided to help you with this war after you helped me in mine. See you soon.”
I scoffed at the content of his email, and sent a quick reply, before shutting down my laptop.
” Rage, do you think I’m making the right decision?”
” We have faced stronger battles and overcame all, I believe this phase will pass too,” my wolf responds before retreating to the back of my mind.
Despite everything I still had a little fear of what the nearest future holds.
