Chapter 148

: Malachi’s POV 

Immediately after Alpha Ashir handed the sword of command over to me, my joy was unlimited but I couldn't show it all. I tried keeping it to myself but it got out of control.

“To victory," I shouted excitedly and raised up the command sword. 

"Hail lord Malachi” All the soldiers said with a salute heading to my command. 

I walk down the stare with Mitchell and Alpha Ashir and Smith, his bodyguard moving to Alpha Ashir's special room. Alpha Ashir looked so worried as we stepped down. I try to show a little concern by giving him a cool hug. 

“You've made the right decision Alpha, your father would have approved. He would be very proud of you,” I reassured him, understanding his concerns.

Alpha Ashir felt a little comforted by my words. “Please don't let me down, I have placed all my hopes in you,” he emphasized.

“Don't worry, I promise to give it my all,” I assured him, instilling hope in him.

After our warm exchange, I mentioned to Alpha Ashir that I needed to leave in order to start preparing for war as per our plan. Although Ashir was saddened to see me go at such a difficult time, I reassured him of his safety and urged him not to worry. Eventually, Ashir agreed to my departure and I left his chamber with the soldiers. Just before I was about to leave, I discreetly signaled for Mitchell to meet me outside. Upon catching my signal, Mitchell quickly joined me behind the curtain.

“We did it! The time has come to claim what is rightfully ours!” I exclaimed excitedly to Mitchell.

Mitchell was also elated to see me, and we both celebrated our victory discreetly.

“So, what should I do now? How can I assist?” she inquired.

“Hmm" I took a deep breath for a second with thoughts in my mind. 

“Do you mean what to do?" I questioned. 

“Yes, just name it, what do you want me to do?" Mitchell responded. 

“Firstly, you have to get closer to Alpah ashir and gain his trust. After gaining his trust then I'll give you a poison to put in his drink. Only this can we kill him without anyone knowing then you'll be the queen of the entire werewolf pack” I explained. 

"Oh no that's too much, I really wished him dead but not this way” Mitchell responded. 

I sighed heavily, feeling furious at Mitchell rejecting my offer. “Are you trying to free yourself now after being together for a long time? Are you trying to get yourself out of the game now?” I said angrily. 

Mitchell looked so frustrated and didn't know what to say. “Okay okay, I'm sorry, what do you want me to do?" She asked. 

"I know that you're a smart girl, all you have to do is to gain Alpha’s trust and put poison into his food. The poison is going to be a slow one which won't kill him easily” I altered.

“Okay, yeah" Mitchell nodded and we ended our discussion. Just as I was about to go out of the curtain, I noticed a feeling of someone spying on us. I drew out my sword immediately to find out who the spy was. Just as I was about to get to the spy's suspicious location, I was caught by Alpha Ashir’s gaze coming from a close distance. I retrite immediately and pretend that nothing happened. 

“What's going on I thought you had left with the soldiers?" Alpha Ashir asked upon sighed at me. 

“I'm sorry alpha I'm just kind of worried about your safety and Mitchell the Luna. I knew that you're up for this especially after witnessing Adara's resurrection today but you had to take her close as both of you are now her target. You must move closer to Mitchell and consider her your mate, that's how we can get rid of Adara "I explained.

Alpha Ashir shook his head immediately and showed no interest in my idea. 

"Mitchell is never my idea and I never admit her as my mate. I had to admit her in the first place after falling for the priest's lies. But the truth is open now that she wasn't my mate, " Ashir responded. 

"Oh really” I gloated as if I never knew that that happened. "Have you forgotten that you had a marriage with her? Have you forgotten that you claimed before the gods that she's your mate?” I asked.

“Haha" Ashir laughed out loudly. “I had to agree to the mating knowing that I was choiceless than to do so. I had to agreed to lift the gods curse" 

"Yeah , I agree” I responded thoughtfully not to prolong the conversation. " Either way, I think the only way out of this is to protect her and let her stay under your roof. Have you forgotten that she has saved you already today? That's just your destiny. Mating with her was a destiny in the first place” 

Ashir was left confused upon hearing this and doesn't know what to do. 

“Do you think I could really do this?" Ashir asked confusingly. 

"Yes you must, that's the only way we could win" I responded. 

“Hmm okay" Ashir nodded and prepared to escort me out to the soldiers. Mitchell also joins us outside and they both wait to see me off with the soldiers. 

I and the thousands of soldiers all left the bloodclaw's pack and held the darkmoon pack. I was overwhelmed with joy as I rode the soldiers down to my castle. 

“This is just the beginning” I said to myself excitedly as I got to my chamber.
