The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf novel Chapter 92

Chapter92
Alpha Bennet taps his fingers repetitively in the dark of night Alpha Amir and Alpha Theaton sit at the table beside him. The candelabra above them only dimly lights the room Hank brings a large jug of wine to the table and refills everyone’s cups before taking a seat himself
How much longer do we have to wait for this Kadva you speak of to arrive? Hank asks, evidently impatient with waiting
The window shutters suddenly blow open, and the lace curtain dances in the air before settling itself back down and the candles on The candelabra flicker
Hank looks towards the window to see no one there but becomes startled when he sees a hooded figure on the seat beside him.
“What in the world! Hank says, ‘Where did you come from?
Kadva, it’s nice of you to join us,’ Alpha Bennet says
“It’s been a while, Alpha Bennet,’ Kadva says, sounding polite
“Something interesting has occurred and in our favour too,’ Bennet smiles
“Oh? Kadva says as he turns his hand upright, and a blue orb of magic appears. He bounces it up and down in his hand as if bored,
Hank’s cyes grow wide, ‘What is that thing?’ he says, frantically pointing at Kadva
The wolf council are calm, as if it’s normal for them to see such magic
“Hank, this is Kadva He is a mage,’ Alpha Benner says, almost too calm
AM-mage? I never knew such a thing existed.’ Hank says
Kadva turns his head at Hank, ‘Refer to me as a thing again, Hank, and maybe I will show you what this thing is capable of,’ He grits through his teeth
Hank stiffens and goes silent
Let’s get back to business, Kadva We agreed many years ago that we would keep you a secret from society so you could live your life free from being hunted down. In return, you would owe us a big favour if we ever needed it. That time is now,’ Alpha Bennet smiths
Trstening, hadva soys
We all have mutual feelings toward the human race and find it unfair that we have to stay hidden from humans, century after century We have even joked about wiping them out, but for thousands of werewolves to go up against billions of humans and their weapons of destruction We know it would never be possible, and we would lose. However, there is a pack we have disliked for Bonne come now. Shadow Crest They are responsible for killing alpha Zenith many years ago and, more recently, his daughter Vanessa and grandson Moss As you know Alpha Zenith used to be a part of this council, and we were practically brothers. Now Alpha Magnus has taken over the pack, and it turns out his little mate is half-witch’

Luna, a day to vartish from any pack territories and never return. Otherwise, we would hunt them down and kill them. We left, and further, along the road, this smouldering blackbird gave me a note to come back the next day, where I would be taken to Pandora’s Box We returned the next day and entered a portal with the witches. It was their Covenstead which they named Pandora’s Box. I entered the house to find items floating and moving around. We stepped through a large mirror and opened a door that led to darkness. Yiselda made a staircase magically appear using a book, and then we walked up the stairs until we reached a large dark heavy door covered in sigils. It was a dungeon, we entered, and the first hideous creatures I saw were what they call Grimghouls.
Then there was the Shadow Reapers further up. They were all interesting creatures, but what got my attention was the lone vampire king locked away in a small dark cell,’
‘The vampire king?’ Kadva says as he drops his ball of magic onto the table. It shatters into light blue glimmering dust, scattering across the table.
‘So not only do witches still exist but Grimghouls, Shadow Reapers and vampires too? And not just any vampire, the vampire king?’ Kadva asks.
‘Yes, hundreds of years ago, humans killed his blood flame, who happened to be a witch. He created the Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers and sent them across the lands to kill all humans. Werewolf packs teamed up and tried to stop him. He wiped out most of the packs until witches intervened and have kept him in the dungeon ever since.’
This is all rather interesting to hear. After all these years, I thought werewolves and myself were the only supernatural creatures left?’
‘Well, the story gets more interesting again. I’ve had Hank here wear that necklace you gave me years ago to cover scents and sent him to spy on Shadow Crest. He returned with rather intriguing news. It turns out Nina, the half-wolf and half-witch Luna, isn’t only mates with Magnus but is also mates with the vampire king.’
They have the vampire king on their side as well?’ Kadva says, astonished at the thought.
‘Not quite, Nina wants to let him out, but the others are against it, especially Alpha Magnus,’
‘Well, I’m intrigued about where I fit in, in all of this and still not sure where you are going with all this information?’
‘I want the humans gone, wiped out, non-existent, and we can now achieve that with the vampire king’s help. We can take over the world and never have to hide from the world. A human free world full of werewolves!’ Alpha Bennet Beams.
Kadva awkwardly coughs.
‘Oh, supernatural’s, I guess I should say?’ he corrects himself.
‘And how do you supposed we achieve that? We don’t know how to get to the vampire king and if he will want to wipe out the human species?’ Kadva says.
“Actually,’ Hank interrupts, ‘I happened to follow them through a portal to Pandora’s Box and was able to figure out the location. It’s a few hours run in wolf form from here,’ he smirks and folds his arms.
‘We are not going to visit the vampire king and just ask him if he would do it. We will make him do it. You, Kadva, will take Nina’s wand and kidnap her. Magnus will notice her missing. You will leave this note telling him in order to have Nina safely returned, he needs to free the vampire king, and the vampire king needs to eradicate the human race,’
‘So, I’m to remove Nina’s wand removing her of magic, kidnap her, leave this note and have Nina hidden and locked up somewhere until there are no humans alive?’
‘Correct,’ Alpha Bennet says, ‘Except we won’t be handing Nina over. I want the witches and that vampire dead as well. Hank will burn Pandora’s Box down. We will kill the witches, and together we will kill the vampire king,
‘Are you sure you want all the blood of those humans and witches on your hand? It doesn’t feel right just to wipe them out. What if we can’t kill the vampire king?’
We will seal him in a dungeon for eternity using Nina’s magic and then kill her. If you refuse to cooperate, Kadva, tell me now because I’m sure the humans would love to hear all about this mage that can manipulate elements. They would capture you and lock you up in one of those laboratories and have fun experimenting on you every day until you die?’ Alpha Bennet warns.
Kadva stiffens, ‘So when do I leave for Shadow Crest?’ he asks.
‘Tonight,’ Alpha Bennet smiles.
