Chapter 45
Dexter POV
We relaxed and recovered over the next few days in brush that seemed to hide us very well from the world around us. I used the
remainder of the herbal stuff Miranda gave me to mask our scent in this area. As long as it does not rain, the herbal blend should
be fine and we can use it when we put up our next camp.
My warriors recovered quickly and we celebrated our victory over that weak wolf pack. We purged salvageable food to last us a
few days out here on the run. Spirits were high as I walked through the warriors campsite. I heard laughing, joking, and retelling
of the stories from their victory. We only lost maybe ten wolves and two lycans from the entire thing. That was a good outcome.
The next pack was almost triple the size of the first pack and we would need those numbers to overthrow the Lycan pack
afterwards. The leader of the elite pack was a cousin to Everest and it is highly unlikely he would go quietly and fall in line.
Afterall most lycans are loyal to their families, most.
I was not like most, I operated completely differently than those around me. I was different than my family, I even looked
differently from the rest of them. I had a suspicious feeling in my teen years that I didn’t belong. I looked like my mother but I had
zero features of my father. My brother had both, though he looked more of my father than my mother. I was lost in my own
thoughts and didn’t hear one of my leaders approach and ask me a question. I was too busy thinking of my fathers last words
before I ended his life “You are no son of mine.’
“King Dexter? Can you hear me? You okay sir?” He had a concerned look on his face and honestly I had no clue how long he
was trying to get my attention.
“Hey Trist. Sorry I was just thinking. I apologize. What can I help you with?”
“We were wondering when we would be heading out? When will we need to be ready?” He asked.
I clapped him on his back, motioning to walk as we started to walk together. “Three days is when I would like us to leave this
place. Everyone should be well rested, healed, and ready to move by then. Next two days we will spend discussing our best
routes to the next pack. Will you make sure that every leader still has their copy of the map?” I told him and he nodded.
“Yes sir.” He bowed his head and left, walking back in the direction we came from. I walked back in the direction of my tent and I
felt exhausted. I laid down and closed my eyes with a sigh. I never fell asleep, just resting as I laid there relaxing while I listened
to my men for a few hours. When nightfall came and the delicious smell of food drifted to my tent and I decided to emerg. I pat

the backs of my men as I wapked through, greeting them, and encouraged them in previous battle. I picked a plate up, tossed
food on it, sat down and ate
with them.
When we finished eating, my leaders and myself gathered together with maps in ha We looked over and discussed different
strategies to the next pack and where the best location for our camp would be sitting. I sat there while I listened to some of them
argui over what would be easiest or what would be best. When we finally came up with a plan that we could all agree was best
option, we closed up shop several hours later.
We decided to stay close to the coast as long as we could. Having the sea to out bacl would offer a little safety. We would follow
the rivers edge through the thick cover and make our way inland. We would approach from their weakest point and attack. There
shouldn’t be too many running the territory there. We had to be close because these next two packs were close to Everests pack
and we had a fair shot of running into his men.
Day of second pack invasion
We approached the territory line quietly, we took our time making our way in. We watched and listened for any movement but
was met with none. It was odd not seeing atleast one territory boarder patrol in the time that we were there. Something was
definite off and not right. We crossed the line and made our way to the main village.
As we approached the stone wall, all was still quiet and unmoving. Had they found ou about us and ran? Heading towards the
direction of the Kingdom possibly? I linked a group of trackers to take off around the wall to go a mile or so outside their
protection wall, towards the Kingdom to see if they picked up any scents. Being Lycans, they’re much faster and can head them
off.
We hopped the wall and made our way through the apparent abandoned streets. Theri seemed to be no one here, not a soul
was left behind. We made our way to the packhouse and I broke the door in watching it shatter into splinters and fall to the floor. I
stood and listened and the silence was deafening. I looked to my left and took my anger out on the entry table. My Lycans rage
showing through my humans actions.
My warriors jumped and I stormed off with a deadly growl, my teeth clenching while my fists were balled at my side. I searched
every room, looking around. No one was here. “S**t!”I yelled. I could hear my warriors downstairs searching. Twalked to the
staircase and looked down and gave the order “If you find anyone bring them to me immediately! Search the entire pack! Search
their homes, stores, parks, the schools, just all of it. Leave nothing uncovered! Move out!” I watched them scatter beneath me. .

I stomped off into the Alphas office and looked around, trashing it as I searched for any information I could find. It appeared to be
cleared out as I searched the desk and filing cabinets. I walked down the hall to the Lunas, then to the Betas and slammed the

door behind me. I slammed it so hard it broke and fell off the hinges. The offices were completely clean with nothing left behind.
Which left me in a furious rage.
“Everest you bastard, you piece of shit.” I said outloud and slammed my fist into the wall with a growl.
I walked into the bedroom of the Alpha and took whatever was of any value for myself. Money, watches, jewelry filled the bag. It
was now mine to do with as I please. I had done
the same with the other pack. I had everything of value in a big duffel bag I carried around easily.
Maybe I could pay off the Lycans with what we have confiscated. Not all of it of course, I would leave a little for myself to enjoy.
We would need to move first thing tomorrow. I linked my warrior leaders.
“Please meet me in the packhouse conference room in fifteen minutes. Tell your warriors you’re with we leave early tomorrow,
first light or sooner. We need to get to the Lycan Pack immediately and it’s a long run.”
I shut the link and made my way to the conference room. I looked up at the wall and smirked. There was a huge map on the
wall.
“Perfect.” I said to myself and I began running the different routes in my head. The warrior leaders started coming in one by one
and when everyone was here we began.
We decided best course and to run hard and fast to try to beat Everest there. We divided the strong to move inside and the
weaker outside.

“We have to be ready for a fight.” I began telling them all, “He is obviously ready for one, we must take what is ours. He is
making the necessary moves by moving his weakest out of our path. As of now we are outnumbered. We need to get these
Lycans with us.” || pointed to the map where their location was. It was maybe twenty miles from our location. “Their designated
Alpha or leader will probably have to die as he is Everests cousin, but if we can get him on our side we will be better for it.
Though, I do not believe that we could ever fully trust him. I can take him out easily enough either way.” I looked around and the -
men all had an evil smile on their faces. They approved, good, their blood thirst was
impressive.
“After we get them on our side, we take them to Brennons pack.” I paused for a moment.
One of the men spoke “Excuse me, sir, just an idea?” He waited for my go ahead and I gave him a nod of approval. “They might
trust us better if we mention we are there to move them to Sir Brennons pack, for safety in numbers kind of thing? Just a
thought?”
“That is brilliant. Good thinking.” I praised him.
“I can’t wait to see his life leave his eyes.” My lycans thoughts drifted through my mind and I couldn’t agree more.
Everest has quickly become the never ending thorn in my side. The more I try, the deeper embedded he seemed to get. I wanted
to rip his throat away and toss him aside and claim what is mine, Avalynn and the Northern Territory. With this, we will move to
conquer my brother and the entire South. I would then have the strongest Packs in the world and would be a force to be
reckoned with. I just need to get past the gigantic mountain that is Everest first.
The Next Morning
We ran to the Lycan pack as quickly as our legs would allow. As large as we were, the stealth was extraordinary. We were quiet
as a small mouse, as we moved through the forest with ease. We approached their territory with caution. We waited and again,
like the wolf pack, there was nothing. No movement or any sign of life at all. I clenched my fists as stepped into their territory.
Nothing was there, so we walked through the territory to the town. It was complete empty. Not a soul was left behind. “Look for
anything of value and then burn the city. We will leave for Sir Brennons tonight.”
I walked to the main house and kicked the door in. I took everything valuable, broke much more out of pure rage. I took plates,
bowls, and glasses and slung them into the wi I turned the gas on full blast in the kitchen and turned every gas fireplace up on

high. I we into a storage shed and smiled. I found lighter fluid, gas canisters and fifteen portable propane tanks.
“Ahh this will make a nice explosion.” | grinned and linked the men. “If you find ga canisters, propane tanks, bring them to me.
Make sure we connect a gas trail from each building so the entire town burns.”
I walked along inside and coated the floors, beds, couches, and chairs with the fluids When everything was empty except one
gas canister I walked outside. I made a long trail from the main house to other buildings that would soon be set on fire.
“We need to vacate the city. The main house will blow when fire reaches it. Lets light it up. The smoke will be seen for miles and
the explosion will be even bigger. We need to move.” I linked the seriousness. I couldn’t lose any more men.
I could smell the smoke as we left the city. I believe there was twenty more propane tanks brought to me. The buildings were
close together and would cause a chain reaction, especially with the accelerate down on the ground.
We were about seven miles out of the city as we ran towards the direction of Sir Brennons. The explosion, from even this far
away rattled the ground under us. The ground shook and the trees swayed as if it was an actual earthquake. I knew it would be
felt all around and wondered if it reached the Kingdom at all? I looked back and saw the large smoke cloud in the air. That I was
sure he would be able to see.
Avalynn POV
A knock sounded on my office door and I looked up “You may come in.” Amber and Claire both walked in with warm smiles on
their face. I returned the smile to them both as I sat up in my chair. They both sat on the seats in my office and became

comfortable.
“Did you hear yet by chance?” Claire asked as she and Amber traded looks. “Hear what, exactly?” I looked at them both
confused.

Amber spoke this time “We were just with the King when he got a message from Ted, who is on his way back.”
“Oh? Tell me more please?” I knew it was news of the Royal Rouge. I was interested in eeing what news Ted held.
“It wasn’t a long message really, King Everest read it out and it said ‘Dexter is at the wolf pack. He is extremely angry. Heading
back, plan seems to be working.’ So it seems that he knows that we are ready for him.” Amber and Claire both grinned.
I felt Charlotte laugh inside, this notion amused her as much as it amused myself.
“How I wish I could have seen the absolute disappointment in his face when he realized everyone was gone.” I let out a laugh
and they joined in. We imitated how we thought it played out.
“I bet he was angry and threw stuff around!’ Claire said. “Just like a spoiled pup!” Amber chimed in.
I stopped laughing although it would have been funny he is now angry and probably more determined “As funny as it would be to
watch it all unfold he is probably pretty angry with us all.” I told them and they nodded.
“Angry men can be very dangerous men.” Claire pointed out.
“That is very true. I wouldn’t want to be around him right now, honestly.” Amber shuddered.
My desk phone rang and I placed it on speaker “This is Avalynn.”
“Yes, Queen Avalynn your mate wanted me to inform you and your ladies that King Brent and his mate Miranda will be arriving in
fifteen minutes.”
“Thank you, we shall be there in a few minutes.” I clicked the button to end the call.
I watched Claire stand up “I best go get Cassie. I am sure Miranda misses her terribly. I just hope Josh hasn’t spoiled the
surprise of seeing her Aunt today. I may ring his neck if he did.” She laughed and caused me to laugh too.
“I am sure she misses her. Do not hold your breath on Josh, he probably told her. See you down there.” I gathered and
straightened out my papers. Putting them in order in my desk.
Amber and myself walked down the hall together talking “How do you feel about Miranda?” She asked me.
“What do you mean? I do not know her.” I questioned with a small frown forming on my face.

“I mean, she had a helping hand in your kidnapping and Everests father’s death. Does it seem fair she gets to go unpunished for
her crimes? She is just as guilty as the rest. She just happened to be running now from Dexter, seeking salvation with a child?”
She was looking at me seriously.
I let out a soft sigh as I thought for a moment, “I am very eager the meet Miranda. To tell you the truth, while I faked my illness I
overheard Dexter’s conversation with her.” | paused and saw Amber’s brows shoot up before continuing. “The only reason she
was working for him was because of her neice, Cassie. He had kidnapped her apparently and something about her brother owed
him a debt bigger than his own life. Dexter murdered him and apparently everyone else in her family other than her and Cassie.”
“Oh my. I wonder what it could be?” Amber frowned as I could tell she was searching her own mind for answers on something
that big.
“I have no clue but he called her again, asking for help. She was on speaker or my ycan hearing was kicking in. I can’t remember
but it was like I was in on their conversation. Anyway, he wanted her help. Threatened to kill Cassie. So she, I assumed, decided
to flee and run to the North.” I shrugged. “When I heard her through their conversation I saw someone who was trying to protect
what family she had left. Someone who was protecting the innocence of a child. I hold no ill will towards her. I know Everest does
not either.”
Amber nodded her head as she now fully understood “I can’t believe he would do such a thing. To a child, an innocent being of
this earth.”
“I know, he is truly a monster.” I agreed with her.
“Thank you for telling me. I was not in on that conversation when they met at the mote with her. Jameson never let on any
details. I just knew she was with Dexter, had a helping hand, and ran with information.” She let out a long sigh.
“It is all good. You didn’t really know and I was more than happy to explain it in better detail.” I smiled at her.
As we walked outside the front doors we made our way to our mates and stood next to them. Everest greeted me with a soft kiss
and I smiled into his lips.
“Ted and his team are on the way home.” He told me.
I nodded my head “So I have been informed. We will have much to discuss and figure out over the next few days once everyone
arrives. Dexter can not be trusted especially if he tried to move in on your cousins pack.”
“I agree. Are you ready for your combat training?” He asked.

“I am. The girls are going to help me along with my normal training.” I looked up to him and smiled. “I am just thankful we recover
quickly, my muscles are going to be screaming.” let out a laugh.
“Good. We need to have our ceremony in the middle of the week. I want you to go out there as Queen. That way if you give an
order, they must be compelled to following you and whatever you order them to do. we don’t need any members second
guessing your authority.” His hand was on my cheek, his thumb caressing it softly. I pressed my lips against his thumb.
“Whatever you say, love.” I smiled at him as we heard the engines roar before it pulled into the u-shaped drive. “Oh, good! They
made it safe.” I walked with Everest to the front of the line of people awaiting. I glanced over at little Cassie who was anxiously
awaiting to see her Aunt. I would blame my brother on spilling those beans. I looked up at Josh and he had a guilty look on his
face as Claire tried calming the child down. She glared up to him and he laughed saying something as Cassie jumped up and
down in excitement.
