“So, they want you in the attack?”
“As I told you they would. As an Alpha, I would have to prove my loyalty to the treaty. The same treaty, mind you, that Josef violated when he let you into his territory,” Deacon said.
“The same treaty that you’ve already violated when you formed your alliance with me,” Théoden reminded.
“Yeah, that treaty,” Deacon said, smirking. “Listen, I’ve already told you whose side I’m on. I’ve also made it easier for you to attack first.”
“Oh really? How so?” Théoden asked.
“I’ve arranged for Selena to enter my territory so we can attack Josef tomorrow. We’re supposed to combine our resources and show a larger force. I’m going to have them staying in one of my hotels. Three hundred pack members and their Alpha in one place… tonight,” Deacon said. “I’m sure you see the opportunity.”
“I do, and I will take it. For your loyalty, Selena’s territory will be yours once I eliminate all of the Alphas,” Théoden said.
“All of it?” Deacon asked, wanting clarification.
“Yes.”
Deacon smiled. “And I will gladly accept that. In addition, any of her wolves that happen to survive, I’d like to give them the opportunity to pledge loyalty to me.”
“Once their Alpha is dead, they’ll have no choice but to choose another. If you want them, so be it. I’ll have no use for them,” Théoden said.
“Excellent,” Deacon smiled. Well, that was one way to grow our pack.
I was sure we’d only take the ones who wouldn’t mind switching up. As for Selena’s territory, it was a nice territory to have, that was for sure, and her area was directly adjacent to ours on the south, which would give us nearly one half of the wolf territories. Théoden knew the art of the deal, obviously.
“I’m sending my son, Marco, there now. I’ll be there personally later on tonight once my son is doneembracinghis new son,” Théoden said.
“I’ll be keeping my eye out for him.”
“Your address? I’d like for Marco to go directly to your home.”
Deacon gave Théoden his home address.
“I’ll be there later tonight, Marco should be there within the next two hours,” Théoden said.
“All right, do you need my help with Selena?”
“I’ll let you know exactly how we’re going to take her out when I get there. Don’t make any moves prior.”
“Fair enough, I won’t.”
“Oh, one more thing, the human rebel. Are you finished with him?”
Ahh, this was the question we’d all been waiting for.
“Well, I have good news and bad news,” Deacon said.
I heard a low growl of annoyance coming from Théoden. “What happened?”
“I beat the living shit out of that motherfucker. Almost to within an inch of his life. I felt like the torture wasn’t enough. He needed to suffer more, so I bit him.”
“You bit him?”
“Yeah, I wanted to turn him so I could really fuck him up over and over and over. He tried to kill my mate, I wasn’t going to take it easy on him,” Deacon said.
“And?”
“Well, unfortunately, he didn’t survive the transformation. The combination of my bite and the ass whooping I gave him was too much, I suppose. But the good news is, I did beat information out of him. Shit I think you’d like to know,” Deacon said, playing his hand like a fucking pro. Damn, it was impressive watching him work.
