Part two- Chapter 31 continuation
Then Randall…. The coward was hiding in BlueBells and I knew what I am going to do about it. The only thing that would give me satisfaction was killing him and nothing else.
Switching on my laptop, I sent a mail to Reece Burdock of BlueBells pack, fully aware of what his answer is going to be. The mail I sent was through my personal account and not the one belonging to the pack. I knew Reece wants Randall to stand against me and I wanted Reece to want Randall.
Smirking, I shut down my laptop and went back to sleep.
I was woken up by someone clutching my hair and pulling it real hard. Groaning, I scratched my head without opening my eyes.
A split second later, my hair was pulled again and my eyes flew open in anger. I was about to shout at Rett, asking what was wrong with him. However, when I turned to look, I saw Luka beside me on the bed, catching a fistful of my hair and trying to eat it.
Luka flashed a cute baby smile when he saw me and my heart just melted right then and there. “Aww” I cooed sitting on the bed. “What are you doing here?” I asked picking him up and helping him stand on my lap. As a reply, he just tried to eat more of my hair. I looked at the bed and realized that someone must have put Luka down here for a nap because there were pillows placed at the side so that he wouldn’t fall.
“Let’s take you to your mama” I said slowly pulling tendrils of my hair from his mouth as well as from his chubby fist.
My husband and my friends were all there downstairs, talking, laughing. Looking at them, happy, I knew this day would definitely be good.
“Oh! He woke up” Sveta said walking towards us.
“And woke me up too” I said and after kissing Luka’s cheeks, I handed him to Sveta.
“What were you guys talking about?” I demanded sitting beside Cam. “You got any mails?”
“No. No mails. But we kind of have a plan on what to do with Randall?” Jan said excitedly.
I stiffened as I heard it and so did my wolf because she guessed their plan would be something that would create a barrier in her plan.
“What plan?” I asked uneasily.
“We are going to force Reece to surrender Randall” Rett answered and I gritted my teeth, because like I expected this plan came in between what I wanted for the welfare of the BlueBells pack. “Reece obviously wants the friendship of other Alphas’ for his as well as his packs welfare.”
“So, we are going to remind him of that particular thing and make him realize his stupidity. Ultimately Reece will kick out Randall and then you can kill him” Jan finished cheerfully and I closed my eyes shut.
My reaction wasn’t the same as they expected because the room turned silent all of a sudden, while I pinched the bridge of my nose.
“You don’t like the plan” Jan stated and I opened my eyes. When my eyes clashed with Jan’s grey-green eyes, I compressed my lips and shook my head as a negative.
“Why?” Rett asked in bewilderment.
“I… I have considered your plan last night. It’s good, I know, but only for me because I get to kill Randall and for Reece, because he can continue being an alpha. But what about Reece’s pack wolves?” I asked standing up, looking at Rett. “You said they were helpful to you when you were searching for me, weeks ago. Think about them. For my own selfish needs, I cannot put them through more torture. If I go through with this then it’s like I will forever owe Reece a favor and I don’t want to owe anything to that mutt” I hissed through gritted teeth. “Reece is not fit to be an Alpha and I want him out. He is a mad person who terrorizes his own pack wolves.”
“Then what are you planning to do?” Rett demanded and now, I smirked.
“The first step in overthrowing Reece from his title was taken by him itself” I said rising my chin.
“By giving shelter to Randall he put the first nail to his coffin” Cam agreed.
“His pack wolves already want him gone and that’s in our favor again. I sent a mail to him yesterday and the reply from that mail is…” I looked around for my cellphone and Terence pointed his index towards the dining table. Sighing, I unlocked the screen and checked my mail. I shook my head when I read Reece’s reply to my mail- of asking him to politely let go of Randall and stop the war.
“What did the bastard reply?”
“FUCK OFF” I said with a chuckle. “That too in capital letters. Anyway, I knew his reply would be something as stupid as this. I wanted it to be that way” I said with a shrug, dropping my cell phone on the couch.
“Then how are you going to kill Randall?” Terence asked confused.
“I am going to enter Reece’s pack and kill him” I said haughtily and my wolf agreed with the thought.
“You are entering his pack? What about the Sorority?” Cam asked startled.
“Sorority needs to change. They are nobody to command me or punish me. I would have respected them had they done something worthy of that respect. But since I got one chance from the goddess herself, I am going to give them one chance too. I am going to give one chance to the Sorority and see if they take the right decision. If they don’t, then I will take charge” I declared through gritted teeth.
I let out a breath and looked at my friends only to find them staring at me in amazement. Even Luka. Well, he was staring more out of curiosity.
“What?” I asked uncomfortably.
“You sound so different… in a good way though” Sveta said tenderly.
“Different? Like?” I grilled.
“Like a leader” Rett replied, watching me with a proud smile and I flushed.
“Oh” I said and they chuckled.
“You are right. We have to take BlueBells wolves into consideration too” Rett said and everyone nodded.
“So, are you sure about killing Randall by entering Reece’s pack? Ignoring the laws?” Terence asked unsurely.
“Our law clearly states that we shouldn’t provide shelter to law breakers. Randall broke the law years ago and Reece provided shelter to him. And what Randall did to me, is horribly wrong. Even the ones who wrote those laws might not have imagined something like that could have happened. He is a cunning person, a trickster, a manipulator and one who is involved in dark practices, which by the way, is banned by our law. By killing him, I honestly think I am doing to a favor to our kind” I concluded smoothly.
“True. If we want to stop the war then we have to kill Randall first” Jan growled and I sent her a grateful smile.
“Okay. So what’s the plan?” Terence asked.
Around ten that morning, I was alone in the house and chopping vegetables for lunch, while the maid was vacuuming. Jan came in ten minutes later and sat facing me in the counter.
“What happened?” I queried curiously. She had gone to work and was supposed to return home afternoon, but she was early.
“The model got rashes on her face that no amount of make-up could hide” Jan said sourly picking a piece of carrot. I slapped her hands with the knife but she still popped a piece into her mouth grinning triumphantly. Seeing that, I pulled the bowl containing the chopped pieces of carrot closer to myself.
“You are sure about this, right?” she asked and I looked up to find her staring at me with a concerned look. I knew what the ‘this’ she referred here was.
“Yes” I replied with a nod.
“After they accept you, you will always be in danger” Jan said in a low voice and smiling, I kept down my knife.
“That’s a risk I am prepared to take” I told her with utmost sincerity in my tone. “But I also know that I am not the one who is going to die so easily” I winked and Jan chuckled.
“Goddess is always with us” she said placing a hand over mine.
“I don’t want wolves thinking I am the goddess. I just don’t want that. All I want is for them to look at me as a friend than a leader” I told her.
“Just be yourself. Be the Templar who is brave and the Templar who is strong. When you are like that with other people it’s impossible not to become your friend” she said and I laughed.
“Is that how you became my friend?” I asked her curiously.
“No. All I saw that day, on the beach, was a nicer and sane version of me” she said with a grin.
“That’s true” I said agreeing with me being a normal version of her.
“You were supposed to say it’s not” Jan said with a gasp and I rolled my eyes. “All the best and I know you will kick-ass” she said after sometime and I nodded, but my eyes stung a little because I knew just like my mother and Everett, Jan will always be there for me.
“Okay. Now don’t cry and close your refrigerator door” she said and I nodded. But the penny dropped the moment I turned to look at the already closed door of the refrigerator. Jan laughed loudly while stuffing four to five pieces of chopped carrot into her mouth.
“Monkey” I told her rolling my eyes and then leaned forward to hug her.
The plan to go to BlueBells even though was made today could be implemented only tomorrow. Since Jan and I were free for the rest of the day, we went to the hospital to see my niece. We were there for two hours and the doctor told us that Trudy would be discharged tomorrow.
We had gone out for late lunch and Rett, Terence and Keith joined us there.
“So who is the mole?” Keith asked after taking a sip of his wine.
“The Beta of BlueBells- Alton” Rett answered. “He had helped us that day and he is going to help us tomorrow.”
“This guy can be trusted right?” I asked Rett and he nodded.
“I doubt he can do this alone” Keith said and I agreed with him wondering how Alton will help us alone.
“He is not alone. He has a team, which consists of his friends who are also tired of Reece’s reign” Terence replied.
“They were all helpful that day to us” Jan added looking at me. She was referring to the day when the Beta and his friends gave Rett, Genessa’s contact ID.
If they trusted Alton and his team, then I must learn to trust them too.
“He is going to send us the blueprint of the pack by noon” Rett informed.
“You called him?”
“No. I am in contact with him through mail” Rett said and I sighed.
“He told you who all are in their pack?”
“Just two. Randall and one more guy named Fletcher”
“Alex Fletcher?” Jan asked and Rett nodded with a growl.
“Did Matheson send any information about Fletcher to us?” I asked Jan. I had not checked the mail since morning.
“I didn’t check the mail” she said guiltily.
“It’s okay. Let’s check that at home” I said. The rest of the lunch, we continued planning on what each one of us had to do. Since Trudy was going to be discharged tomorrow, Keith could not come with us.
It was four when we returned home and the first thing I did was check the mail. Alpha Matheson had replied to the mail and had sent a file consisting information as well as the photo of Alex Fletcher.
I stiffened and my wolf growled murderously when I saw who Alexander Fletcher was.
“This guy was in the clinic that day. I had seen him while he had come to drink water. At that time I assumed he was a patient” Rett imparted furiously when he saw who Alex Fletcher was.
“No. He is not a patient” I said shaking my head. “He is a doctor” I said through gritted teeth. “The same doctor who killed our child.”
Rett and I had gone to run that evening to let out some steam. Surely we could do it through other ways too, but I wanted a run. It’s been a long time since I ran with him.
We ran and ran around the territory and very soon pack wolves too joined us. Around sunset, we decided to hold a competition were wolves would fight with the other. Ophelia and Mike would pick names of those who
