Ascension of a Gamma novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Grandly Fucked

-Rigel

“You stink,” said Andrix as he covered his nose with a hand. He’d been constantly complaining about my scent that I was entertaining the thought of going ahead of him or using him as bait. The latter sounded more reasonable if I didn’t need him to get in.

“Did you take at least take a shower?” he asked, making a gagging sound.

I spun around and gave him a death glare. I couldn’t smell myself. I knew going rogue would make me stink, but he didn’t have to rub it in my face! I didn’t need a constant reminder that I was now alone.

He put his arms up in surrender and grinned. “T’ll stop.”

“How do we get in?” I asked, resuming m y pace.

The Blue Moon Pack was located at the most advantageous vantage point – from all directions, the surrounding areas were visible for at least a kilometer. The woods hid most of it, but at least half a

kilometer from their pack was a clearing,

Rogues stayed away from their pack, and the few dumb enough to breach their territory, well… they got what they asked for, or so the rumors say.

It was what I needed Andrix for. He knew another way in, a safer alternative from alerting every warrior of the pack miles away. I must’ve been insane to agree with Alpha Emery without proof of this secret entrance – maybe I wasn’t – desperate sounded more appropriate. After years, it was the closest shot I got to get my revenge. I could’ve talked Salina into helping me, but my guts told me she was a part of the whole thing, and my instincts had never proved me wrong.

Right now, it was telling me to turn back. I’d follow it, but this could be my only chance. I wasn’t about to turn back now that I was this close.

“Let’s see…,” he said, looking around.

“We’re almost at their borders. We can’t let any of their patrols see us.”

There was something wrong here. He seemed too… relaxed. On the way here, he

purposefully slowed down his pace and w e kept stopping as he tried to remember where to go. I wasn’t told everything.

“Rain.”

“I’m here,” he replied.

In case Andrix pulled something off, we’d be ready to take him on. His Alpha wanted Myron dead and he, himself had a good reason too. All I had to do for them was to find a way to get Anna to leave the pack so they could get her back.

Myron’s men almost killed Carson. If I wasn’t mistaken, the Black Mist Pack had betrayed Myron then. I doubt Andrix was oblivious. There must be a reason he hadn’t made a move to off me just yet. When I lost consciousness from breaking the links, he could’ve killed me then but didn’t.

I smiled inwardly. What did it matter? If I die tonight, at least I’d be with Maya.

And my pack wouldn’t be involved in any of these. My actions were my own.

“This way,” he said, going to the left.” The Blue Moon Pack don’t have patrols.

Not tonight.”

I raised a brow

“How do you know?

I slowed down to maintain a few meters from him.

They’re expecting a guest. Alpha told m e while you were getting your beauty sleep.”

He turned another left, and now we were getting even closer to the border. “I don’t know who it is.”

Andrix stopped just before the clearing that surrounded their base. It was a straight path to death. “It should be… right around here.”

“There’s nothing here,” I said, growling,

Trees then a clearing. No secret entrance i n sight.

“That’s what they want you to think.”

There were two trees in front of him, their tops arching to meet at the center, branches intertwined. He raised a hand between their trunks, and my eyes went wide as his hand was suddenly gone. He

pulled back his arm and there it was

again.

“A portal of some sort?” he replied.” Alpha warned of a witch. We can’t be sure this leads to inside, so if you want to back out, this is a good time.”

Right. If I wasn’t ready for this, I wouldn’t have left everything behind me. It was all in or nothing and I made my choice.
