Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

140 - Counter Attack

ADAN STONE.

The morning started well for us, as it had since we came back from the underworld.

I was already getting used to the serenity of having my Luna and heir around me, and a pack that adored them just as I did.

Everything was good until the news of the Silver Crest benign attack and takeover reached me.

Their Alpha and Beta were dead.

The Gamma and most of the Warriors were held captive until they surrendered to their new Alpha, which I doubted they would do.

In most attacks, the casualties were always the warriors who swore loyalty to their pack, unless the conquering Alpha was a deserving one.

But in this case, Ethan was a piece of shit who didn’t deserve the loyalty of Fabian’s men.

To say I was devastated was an understatement.I was in a rage.

A week ago, I sent ten warriors to assist Alpha Fabian in training more of his men.

It was nothing unusual.I always get requests for training, and if I liked your pack or trusted the Alpha, I would comply.But never in my wildest dreams did I think my ten-man team would come home two warriors short.

Although attacks and takeovers had been happening lately, especially in small packs and territories, they were far from this area.

The majority of them were from the far end of the north.

Fabian and I were never close comrades.But we did respect each other.We live and let live.

But Blade was a different case.He left his pack after his fated mate died and lost the will to lead his pack.

Fabian had no choice but to step up as the second Alpha- born son.He did his best to make his pack strong, but he’s not Blade.

And through the years, I saw them struggle, but he would always pick himself back up and start again.He tried, and for that, his people loved him.

"What are your plans, Alpha? We can’t wait for Blade to make a decision.Maybe he doesn’t care at all." Kingston asked.

"I’m sure Alpha Ethan thought no one would care if they took over Silver Crest as it’s been a weak pack.And I’m one hundred percent sure our warriors were allowed to go because he was scared of you and the Luna." Collin added.

Collin was right.

The eight warriors were thrown into the dungeons with the rest of the Silver Crest warriors.

It was only when they refused to bow down to Ethan and someone said that his Alpha was only me that Ethan realized some of the men there were mine.

Twelve warriors claimed me as their Alpha, and only eight survived the Alpha’s command to tell the truth.

The four other warriors were executed right away.

That was something my heart simply could not accept.

These four warriors wanted a way out so they could come back with my help, but they weren’t given a chance.

"We will launch a counterattack and seize control of the pack in the mean time," I stated in a voice devoid of any emotion.

"We need to kill him to take over the pack." Collin reminded me.
