Chapter 74 Chapter 74
Alpha Zach's POV.
Weeks later after Alexander's failed attempt to retrieve my Bella from that selfish bastard calling himself Alpha Jacob, I sat in my office, brushing my imaginary beard because I had received an unannounced visit from my arch nemesis's pack.
With furrowed brows, I glanced at my visitor with a question mark. Do I trust her or continue falling at my plan to retrieve my true mate Bella? I sighed softly.
"I've been thinking about this for a while now," I said, "and I've come up with a plan that I think will work."
"What do you have in mind?" Samantha asked, looking intrigued in her sexy lime green leather mini dress with matching high-heeled boots. She looked sexy but my wolf did not fancy her. She was just another crystal in sheep's clothing. I smirked. Like who unravels clubbing clothing in the morning? Anyway, that's none of my business.
"We need to lure Bella away from Alpha Jacob's territory, where she's heavily protected," I explained because every attempt I made was a failed mission due to the protection she got from Jacob. "And the best way to do that is to create a diversion."
"A diversion?" Samantha repeated, looking puzzled as though she is not the one who instigated the plan to take Bella away from Jacob. I didn't care to ask what her motives were but so long as she helped me get my Bella, I was fine with it.
"Yes, we need to create a situation that will require Alpha Jacob's attention and resources, and then take advantage of the distraction to capture Bella," I said with a prying stare.
"I see," Samantha said, nodding. "But what kind of situation could we create that would be big enough to lure Alpha Jacob away from his territory? Because as far as I know, those two are always together." She pulled a face while rolling her eyes.
"I think that's where you come in," I said, smiling. "I want you to use your charm to seduce one of Alpha Jacob's trusted lieutenants. Once you have him wrapped around your finger, you can convince him to cause trouble in the neighboring pack's territory, and then make sure Alpha Jacob finds out about it."
Samantha's eyes widened as she realized what I was suggesting could cost her life or banishment. "You want me to use my feminine wiles to manipulate someone into doing your bidding?" she asked, surprised.
"It's not manipulation if it serves a greater purpose," I said, shrugging. "And besides, you're the best person for the job. You're beautiful, intelligent, and persuasive. You can charm anyone into doing anything as you did with me."
Samantha frowned. "what if I get caught? Because all I want is for you to retrieve your Bella and that's it."
"You won't," I said confidently. "I have faith in you. And besides, if everything goes according to plan, I will have Bella in my grasp and you will have Jacob in no time."
It was very easy to put one plus one together to tell that Samantha wanted Bella out of her way to get to Jacob.
She hesitated but then nodded. "Okay," she said. "I'll do it, for the love I have for Jacob." Her eyes twinkled mischievously.
And there it was, her selfish motives came out of her mouth. I grinned. "Excellent," I sighed merrily. "Now, let's start putting the plan into action. We have a lot of work to do." I inclined to my office chair and rubbed my hands together.
"But my only exception is that you come with me and get Bella yourself." She blurted out loud with a stern poise.
"What?" I jerked up from the chair." And how do you expect me to do so without being killed?" I asked with my heart racing wildly. How did she want me to walk up in someone's territory without being ripped to pieces by the pack members?
"Leave that to me. You will walk into the midnight pack without anyone noticing." She smirked mischievously.
Holy fuck, what is this woman planning? I felt sick to my stomach…
As we began to discuss the details of our scheme, I couldn't help but wonder if I was doing the right thing by trusting Samantha's wicked plan. But I pushed my doubts aside and focused on the task at hand. After all, I was doing this for Bella, the most beautiful woman in the world, and having her at any cost didn't mean a thing to me.
After running for what seemed like forever, we came to a stop at the boundaries of the midnight pack… it was morning hence the beautiful morning rays felt so good on the skin.
"Here, drink this," Samantha said while handing a strange-looking small transparent bottle with black fluid content in it.
I frowned before taking the bottle away from her hand. "Are you sure I won't be detected by drinking this?"
"Yes, Alpha Zach. Now drink it quick before someone sees us here."
With hesitant movements, I gulped down the whole bottle's content…seconds later my stomach flipped and that's when my fingers started to fade out. "Pray that I turn back to my handsome self, or else.." I growled, baring my teeth.
"Don't worry yourself too much Alpha. The potion will wear off after five hours, which will give you enough time to runway very far with your bride." She smirked and then gave two same bottles to the two Rogues who had accompanied us.
We stealth movements I and my two Rogues strolled quietly behind Samantha into the pack's territory without being detected.
Wow, this plan might just work. I grinned.
"Good morning Beta Samantha." One passerby said with a warm smile.
"Good morning." She nodded her head with a tight-lipped smile.
"Keep close Alpha. We are almost at the mansion." Samantha put on her most alluring smile as she walked with grace. "That is Gamma Nick, one of Alpha Jacob's trusted people, so keep quiet as I try to talk to him." She whispered, then swayed her hips seductively, waiting for her charm and wit to gain his trust and affection.
"Hey there, handsome," Samantha said, leaning against the huge wooden doorframe. "What are you up to?"
Alpha Jacobs mansion was very impressive to the eye I must say.
Gamma Nick turned to her, a smile spreading across his face. "Just doing the alpha's little errands in the mansion," he said. "Making sure everything's is done on time."
"Sounds boring," Samantha said, pouting. "Why don't you take a break and come talk to me instead?"
Gamma Nick hesitated for a moment, but then he nodded. "Sure," he said. "Why not?"
Samantha led him to a secluded spot in the mansion, where they could talk without being overheard. She poured on the charm, flirting shamelessly with Gamma Nick and making him laugh with her jokes and stories.
As they talked, Samantha steered the conversation towards Alpha Jacob and Bella. "So, how's Alpha Jacob and Bella doing these days?" she asked casually.
Gamma Nick's expression darkened. "They are doing fine," he said. "But we're always on edge, you know? after the whole banishment of your father. There's always some threat or another lurking."
Samantha nodded sympathetically with a disgusted expression. "I can imagine," she said while sighing. "But you must have some idea of where they are, right? I mean, you're one of his top trusted people Alpha trusts."
Gamma Nick hesitated, looking around nervously. "I don't know," he said finally. "Alpha Jacob keeps his whereabouts a secret, even from me these days."
Samantha leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Come on, Nick," she said. "I know you know something. And I promise I won't tell anyone."
Gamma Nick looked into Samantha's eyes and for a moment I thought he had seen us.
With my eyes widened, I thought he was about to tell her Jacob's whereabouts, But then he shook his head. "I'm sorry, Samantha," he said. "I really don't know where Alpha Jacob is."
Samantha sighed, feigning disappointment. "Well, I guess I'll just have to keep searching, then," she said. "Thanks for your help, Nick. You're such a sweetheart."
With that, Samantha stood up and walked away, leaving Gamma Nick standing there, watching her go.
"What the fuck was that all about? How do you expect us to find Bella now?" I snarled silently.
"Be calm Alpha, I know we're to find your sweet angelic Bella." She smirked mischievously and proceed to go upstairs.
"I hope so. Because if I find out that this scheme was just a trap to get me captured, I will deal with you and you will beg for a painless death."
"Shhh, "someone might hear your voice." She responded coldly…
We continued walking past the many numbered doors until we came to a stop at door number one.
"Now be very quiet because I don't know if she is alone or with Jacob." She opened the door and it creaked on its hinges as it opened.
She peeked in before walking into the room. "Get in, it seems your bride is taking a bath."
And she was right. The water in the shower was gushing and Bella sang a beautiful humming sound.
"Get her quickly." She instructed hastily.
"Okay," with quick quiet steps, I got into her bathroom and Bella was enjoying a relaxing shower, letting the warm water wash away the foamy soap from her beautiful delicate delicious skin.
Wow, My cock hardened with lustrous thoughts. But thank the goddess I was invisible and no one could see my dick. She continued humming and had no idea that danger was lurking just outside the bathroom door.
Suddenly, I bumped into a soap holder while I was trying to unzip my pants to spring my cock free and masturbate a little while I watched her bathe.
She instead heard the strange noise, and her instincts kicked in. She quickly turned off the water and reached for a towel, wrapping it around her body. She walked out of the shower, still dripping wet.
"Babe, is that you?" she opened the bathroom door, but then she was ambushed by my two Rogues, who were waiting on us in her bedroom.
"What the fuck is going on?"
Bella fought back the invincible force by kicking and punching the air with all her might. But the surprise attack caught her off guard, and she soon found herself overwhelmed by her attackers. One of the Rogues grabbed her from behind, pinning her arms to her sides, while the other two injected her with a powerful sedative.
"Hey!" I exclaimed. " Be careful with her. She is important cargo." I snapped. I glanced around and Samantha was not in the room but left the same bottled potion we took on the open with a note which said that I should make her drink it if I wanted to leave the pack undetected.
Grabbing the bottle without hesitation. I forced the content of the bottle down her throat while Bella tried to resist, but the drug quickly took effect, making her feel weak and dizzy. She struggled to keep her eyes open as the Rogues carried her off the floor. Suddenly, her body too started to fade out.
"Good, secure her on my back, and then I turned into my pure white wolf, mind you we were still invincible to the human eye.
As we ran back to Moonstone, Bella's mind was still foggy I presumed, because she struggled to make sense of what was happening as she tried to escape, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.
I smirked triumphantly because this time around our ambush was a success. I was going back home with my true love and with time I knew she would love me too.
With my feet thudding loudly on the ground, I paid attention to Bella slipping into unconsciousness.
"Jacob." she moaned.
Don't worry sweet cake, that name will soon be history in your life.
Thank you, moon goddess. This time, you answered my prayer.
