Chapter 176
LANCE’S POV
I look at the piece iyf wood in my hand and almost burst into tears.
Every hope I had for this battle is shattered. The staff I thought I had, turned out to not be the staff after all, my Elemental has left me and right now, I’m all alone.
I turn to look at Alpha Ralph and he has on the same defeated expression on his face.
No matter how we look at this, we cannot deny the fact that right it’s just the two of us that’s left to complete what we have started.
We have gone this far together and we won’t give up. Alpha Hardin might have succeeded in tricking us, but that doesn’t mean he has won this battle. We will unite again and strike harder than ever before. “It’s fake after all” I announce as I rise up from the ground and he does same.
“We were tricked p>
“That is what it seems.” I throw the stick to the grown and wipe the dust off my overall and look up at Alpha Ralph who happens to be staring daggers at me.
“Wanna come in?” I offer casually and he shrugs.
“Sure” He turns to his soldiers “You all can go back home except for my Beta. We will come later”
“Are you sure you’ll be save here all by yourself” His gamma asks and he nods.
“Yes I will, now lead the others home”
“Yes Alpha”
The rest of the soldiers retreat and we go into my living room to talk.
This is actually very funny.
We were at the verge of becoming foes, but here we are again, as allies about to plan our next move.
That is exactly what the quest for power and superiority can do to men.
“You know, I still want to believe this is a dream” Alpha Ralph speaks as we get into the living room. I walk straight to the wine bar where I take out a bottle of brandy and two glasses.
“That was a game well played by Alpha Hardin” I compliment as I walk over to the central table and serve the brandy in two glasses. “Indeed it was”
“A game well played” I repeat while nodding my head. I carry up both glass from the table and give him one. We both make a toast to… whatever it is and sip the brandy. “We actually had with us the fake staff all this while and didn’t even know it!” I lament
“And to think that we just set Luna Reign free, it’s just nerve wrecking”
“I know we have made a few mistakes, but trust me, this is no time for us to lament, we have to plan and I stop talking and crease my brows as I look at him once more ” Wait a minute, where are your Elementals?” “You mean Lloyd and Kevin p>
“No, Paul and Peter, of course I mean Lloyd and Kevin, where are they?” I ask anxiously and his head drops down as he let’s out a sigh of frustration. “Is everything alright p>
“No, nothing is alright. I fucked up big time”
“What do you want by, you fucked up big time p>
“Well, they overheard me telling Mr. Callan my plans of having them killed after this battle is over, so they left.” He explains sadly.
“How come that even happened p>
“I don’t know, we were juyts discussing and that came up, I didn’t know they were eavesdropping on our conversation. That is how I lost them p>
“This is not good at all. I lost my fire Elemental as well. Reed suddenly disappears and I only got to hear that he said he didn’t want to be involved anymore. Luna Reign had him properly brainwashed before healing him. Sad” “This is indeed sad. We no longer have the staff of edification with us, our Elementals are gone, this is not good at all. I repeat this is not good at all. We are in deep shit”
“That doesn’t mean we are going to stay there. Look Ralph, we only get defeated when we actually accept and claim the fact that we have been defeated. There is always a way out. Remember the moon goddess has made this war fair, everyone has equal chances of winning. We can do this!” I encourage and he looks at me. “You think we can p>
“I don’t think, I know. We can do this Ralph, all we need to do is strategize properly and we will be so ready for this battle. Right now I already have a plan on my mind”
“Which is p>
“An ambush”
“Ambush p>
“Yeah and this time around we are not going to ambush them at night, it will be too obvious. We will go at dawn and we will be targeting the residential areas. We will attack their homes, have their women and children killed, not excluding their men. Before the soldiers get to us, we must have already caused a lot of damage p>
“That sounds really appealing and I’m so ready for it. Alpha Hardin has played us enough and it was about time we thought him a lesson. When do we attack p>
“At dawn! And it is going to be a massacre!” I say with all seriousness and Alpha Ralph nods as well
I am so angry and frustrated right now that all I want to do is kill every member of the wall street pack.
What exactly are they trying to prove?
They always have a way to outsmart us and that freaking annoying. Tomorrow at dawn, we will attack and have their women and children killed, I am ready for the wrath that will follow, Alpha Hardin can’t keep winning all the time, he has to go down. I will make sure he goes that down!
“That said, I think I should go over to my pack and organize my army of soldiers. We meet at my boundary since it is closer to the Wall street pack. It is going to be a quite an action, that will buy us sometime before the soldiers show up” “Exactly p>
“Alright then, see you at dawn” He makes his way out of the living and I smile in satisfaction.
It feels so good to have an ally again.
No matter what happens, I will not be discouraged. This war is ours and I will become the next Paramount Alpha, nothing will stop that from happening, absolutely nothing!
