Chapter 106: To War or Not to War?

~ Cameron/Constantine ~

Heading to the Hurricane Dawn Pack, I went with two hundreds of our best warriors. They prepared for any order I would give. Either they would only guard when I challenged Bill and stopped those who wanted to fight, or killed everyone without mercy.

Taking a deep breath, my mind wandered to Anna, Nate, and Lisa. I couldn’t choose the second option regardless of how much I wanted to clean sweep the pack. I owed it to Nate to save Lisa and united her with him. Also, as planned before, it was the time for Nate to rule his pack. The Hurricane Dawn Pack would be a perfect pack for him. Surely, Nate was a better option to be an Alpha compared to Bill.

It would be hard to control who we killed if I ordered the clean sweep. So, the best option would be the one-on-one fight to death. I was confident I could conquer Bill unless he used a sly way to trick me. But if he did it, I didn’t think my warriors would only stand and do nothing.

Our troop left with motorcycles and cars. My driver drove at a normal speed, giving me time to consider what I would do next in the Hurricane Dawn Pack. My people had already arrived near the pack. We parked in a nearby forest and would attack the pack at dinner time.

I dared to bet that no one would expect us to start the war, considering Bill’s threat sent this morning. However, I saw our spies approach my car from the side and one of them knocked on the window. I nodded at my driver, and he got out of the car, opened the back door, allowing one of our spies to enter the car.

“Alpha, permission to report,” the spy said.

“Go on.”

“We have spread the fact that Alpha Bill sent you the threat message. Most pack members of the Hurricane Dawn Pack weren’t aware that he wanted your woman. It sparked a controversy among themselves.”

I smiled, as it was what we expected. Bill might face a revolt soon. Who knew if we didn’t need to waste our energy to defeat him?

“As we heard about Miss Anna’s past with Alpha Bill, we spread it too that Alpha Bill once raped her. Currently, no she-wolves in their pack think highly of the Alpha. However, we didn’t let them know what Miss Lisa did to Miss Anna.”

I nodded. “Good job. Please keep monitoring the pack. Give me crucial info, as it may determine whether we will start the war.”

The spy bowed his head. “Yes, Alpha!” Then he exited the car, and in no time, I couldn’t see him anymore.

That’s when our Theta contacted me via the mind link. ‘Greetings, Alpha. Is it a good time to send you good news?’

‘Sure. What is it?’ I wondered what it would be. Maybe Nate had found Anna, and she was healthy. I hoped it was the case.

‘Miss Anna delivered your pups already. All are in good health. Congratulations, Alpha!’

I opened my mouth, but closed it instantly. Pups? ‘How many pups did my mate deliver?’

‘Two, Alpha. They are twins—male and female pups. Our Iotas, Miss Anna, and I, agreed that the boy looked like you, and the girl was the replica of her mother.’

Oh, how exciting! I couldn’t wait to go home to look and hold my pups in my arms. Also, I wanted to see Anna too. She must be overjoyed to have the twins. As Nate found Anna already, I wondered if I could cancel the war.

‘Thank you for the report. I will visit you later to express my gratitude when I have returned home.’

The Theta laughed. ‘No need, Alpha. It’s an honor and joy to see your pups born in the world. I’m sure they will grow as great as their father.’

A lump formed in my throat as I was too emotional to imagine my pups’ growth. ‘Many thanks, Theta. You have done your job well. Thank you.’

‘It’s my utmost pleasure, Alpha. I think it’ll be a great marking ceremony present for you two. Having a pair of bundles of joy surely will perfect your big day. Enjoy your day, Alpha.’ Then, the Theta ended the contact.

I smiled. Yes, my marking ceremony would be held in two days’ time, but it was something to think about too. If I canceled the invasion today, Bill might send his troops to attack us on my happy day. I couldn’t let him do that.

That’s when Nate contacted me. ‘Hey, Cam, I tried to contact you a few minutes ago. I have two amazing pieces of news. Do you want to hear it?’

‘About Anna gave birth to my twins? Yes, our Theta told me already. I talked with him just now.’

‘Ah, okay.’ Nate’s voice pitched lower. He sounded disappointed I already knew about the birth of my pups. But then his voice was normal and cheerful again. ‘But surely you had heard no other news, had you?’

‘What it it?’ What else could happen in a few hours?

‘Anna killed Michael. Our warrior reported to me about it, and he was in awe of her.’

Now, that was a big surprise. ‘How?’

‘I will tell you the details later, but to make the story short, it was the most painful death. I’m sure of that. No one would dare to provoke or look down on your mate anymore if they have already heard what she has done.’

I grinned, as I couldn’t imagine what Anna did until my warrior even respected her. Our warriors had been in many battles. Some of them were the fiercest werewolves I had ever met as they had been through all things: tortured, hunger and thirsty because lack of food and water, wounded severely, and some even experienced losing their family members before their eyes tragically. Yet, hearing my mate got their respect and awe with an event was spectacular. I couldn’t wait to go home to hear the complete story.

Considering the pros and cons, I almost went home because I longed to see my twins and my beloved Anna. We could have a battle later. But what Nate said later suddenly changed my mind.

‘I just talked with Anna. I found an interesting thing.’

‘Hmm? What is it?’ I asked. So many things happened in a few hours.

‘From Michael’s confession, apparently the one behind her kidnapping is Bill. He contacted one of the former Elders to plan Anna’s kidnapping. The Elder later asked Michael to do it and asked him to send Anna to Bill. However, as Michael wanted Anna for himself, he wanted to rape her first before sending her to Bill.’ Nate let out a long sigh. ‘Crazy, huh? Your woman attracts so many men. I can’t blame her because she is quite a beauty. Added with her intelligence and determination, I think you are the blessed one to be her mate.’
