Alpha Benson's POV
It's been two weeks since the war between my pack and that of Alpha Darian took place, and since all this time I haven't been able to repair all the damages caused by the war, surely it's going to take up to a month, maybe even more, before everything goes back to normal. I still can't believe that after the whole effort I put into preparing for the war and plotting out the perfect plan, I still lost woefully to Alpha Darian, and in addition to that, I still lost my best friend in the process and also almost all my soldiers. Now not only do I have to recruit new soldiers, I will also need to teach them how to fight.
The few experienced soldiers are the ones assuring the security of the pack, and even though I know that these few soldiers can't assure the security of the pack, at least it's better than nothing.
As for Alpha Darian, he will surely be happy because he defeated my pack and rescued his mate, while I will be on the losing side. As usual, half of my territories are gone, my best friend is gone, almost all of my soldiers are gone, and my mate and my pups are leaving in another pack because of the meager security of the pack, and all these things were lost thanks to Alpha Darian. I hope that Alpha Ethan's son will take care of him, because if he fails to do so, I will find one way or another to do it. I won't rest until I have finally gotten rid of him.
As these thoughts were running through my mind, I heard a knock on the door of my chamber, jolting me back.
"Who's that?" I asked from behind the door.
"It's me, your highness," one of the guards replied.
"Yes, what do you want?" I asked him.
"You have a visitor, your highness," he said to me from behind the door.
"Who's the visitor?" I asked him.
"I don't know who he is; he only said that he's a friend from the Red Moon Pack," he said to me, and without thinking twice, I already knew that it was Justin.
"OK, go and tell him that I will be there in no time," I said to him.
"OK, your highness," he replied before I started hearing his footsteps as he was walking away.
Once he left, I sighed heavily before standing up from my bed, where I was sitting, and arranging the royal attire I was putting on.
I hope that Justin brought me good news because the past few days, all I have been getting has been bad news, and sincerely, I'm already tired of it. The only thing I need now is good news, and there's no good news that would give me more joy than hearing that Alpha Darian is already dead or maybe that his mate is already dead, even if it's not exactly that. Just a news story about something bad happening to Alpha would really make my day. I don't care how terrible the bad that would happen to him would be.
As these thoughts were still running through my mind, I immediately remembered that someone was waiting for me, and without hesitating, I walked out of my chamber and started heading towards the court chamber.
Once I came to the court chamber, I saw Justin sitting down while awaiting my arrival, and behind him were five of his guards.
Once he saw me, he stood and greeted me politely, and I greeted him in return.
"Welcome to my pack, Justin," I said to him after sitting down on my throne.
"Thank you, Alpha Benson. I must really admit, your pack underwent a huge destruction. Was all this done by Alpha Darian?" He asked me with an inquisitive look.
"Yes, of course, Justin, this is all the handwork of Alpha Darian," I said to him with a sad expression written all over my face.
"Wow, I must really admit, Alpha Darian is a man of war," he said to me, and I furrowed my brows at him.
"Actually, I meant that's incredible; only him caused all this destruction in your pack despite the fact that your soldiers were combined with that of our pack. Are you sure that you didn't do anything wrong to him?" He asked me with a smiling face.
"Something like what?" I asked him with an inquisitive look.
"Like taking something precious to him, if not I don't see any reason for him to attack your pack while with that time he used to attack your pack, he would have used it to find for a way to retrieve his pack from the supreme Alphas," he said to me and I ached my brows at him wondering why he was asking me all these questions or have he found out the truth behind his father's death, but that is impossible, the only person who could have told him the truth is Alpha Darian and if he had met him that means that he attacked him and as far as I know Alpha Darian, he would have surely put him to death if he didn't succeed in killing him first but if that's not the case that means he's trying to play smart with me, but unfortunately I'm more smarter that he could imagine.
"Look Justin I don't know what you are insinuating; that lunatic killed your father, and if I were at your place, I would be actually looking for a way to make him pay for that," I said to him, my voice raising in anger.
"Are you sure that you don't know the reason why he killed my father?" He asked me, and I shot him an angry glare.
"I said I don't know," I said before banging the armrest of the throne angrily, and to my greatest surprise, he chuckled drily before shaking his head in disbelief.
"You are a horrible liar, Alpha Benson; I don't know if you have forgotten, but we werewolves have the ability to detect when someone is lying or saying the truth, and we both know that you are lying," he said to me with a wicked smirk, and I froze instantly.
"As if causing my father's death wasn't enough for you, you also sent me to die the same way that my father died, but fortunately, my time of death hasn't reached yet, but I can't say the same for you because your time of death is very near," he said to me, but I remained silent, unable to speak because of the shock.
"By the way, Alpha Darian said that I should inform you that he is coming soon, so you should expect him, and while expecting him, be expecting me too, because if things go as planned, we might both attack on the same day. Imagine the destruction that we would cause," he said to me before bursting into a round of manic laughter. With that, he stood up and started walking towards the exit with his guards while laughing manically, leaving me in my thoughts.
