You, I Want You

Edward's POV
She laughed elegantly when she heard what I said. She flicked her skirt out of the way before sitting back down.
"Edward, why would I willingly put a time bomb next to my Pack?”
"A time bomb?"
"After you take the Nightfall Pack, you own that territory. Even if I help you, there's no guarantee that you will not turn against my Pack later."
I chuckled and squinted at her. "Even without your help, it would be easy for me to take down the Nightfall Pack.”
But to my surprise, she only laughed. Shed didn't even react to the anger my wolf was intentionally releasing.
"No, although I don't know why, you seem to need my Packs strength. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to attack with you."
My face darkened. This woman was smarter than she showed.
Although Timberwolf was a strong Pack half of the pack was still held by my father. If I wanted to figure out what my father was doing, I couldn't enter the territory alone.
However, if I had the power of the Swiftwood pack I could leverage that against Nightfall.
Since Aurora joined me, she had been too calm. I wanted to see what her panic looked like.
"If you don't join me in attacking the Nightfall Pack, I will attack both packs. It's up to you what I choose."
Aurora's POV
Edward was trying to use the same tactic again. He leant towards me, his scent lingering around him. His proud eyes would be visible if he looked down ever so slightly. If I moved any closer, my nose would touch his chin.
He was right. I'm in no position to negotiate with him right now.
I'm so frustrated if I hadn't gotten wrapped up with that bastard Henry, I wouldn't be in this position right now.
However, I had something saved just for this moment. I want to show this man that I have more value than he first thought.
Inwardly I was terrified but, I would never let him see that. I tilted my head back and smirked at him. "I think you might be interested in the third option."
"Oh?"
His face was puzzled as I handed him the final paper I had hidden under the table. He glanced at it quickly. I took great pleasure in the shock on his face.
He was silent for a long time, taking in everything I had written. The smirk he usually wore had dropped off his face. After a while, he smiled again and looked down at me.
"You keep surprising me.”
He threw the paper down on the table. It was a map of the Timberwolf Pack along with the guard's schedules and patrol routes.
"How did you do this?"
"It's simple. I've been observing since I got here. Every Omega and guard who passed by me, as well as the time they passed. I remember.
He wasn't angry. He looked proud.
"Have you been able to do this since you were a child?"
"Of course not."
Not having a wolf meant some of my skills were inferior. I always had a strong mind since childhood. So I chose to study hard to improve myself. I sharpened my observation skills and eventually developed the ability to remember everything.
It's ironic now that I had developed these observation skills but never discovered Henry and Daisy's affair.
Thinking about it made me resent my position. If I didn't have to worry about causing issues for my pack, I could have helped Edward completely wipe out the Nightfall Pack.
Edward's voice was magnetic, drawing my attention constantly. "So, you showed me this to demonstrate your abilities?”
"Yes," I said straightening out my clothes and showing him my phone. "I've also sent all this information to my Beta. If you try anything, they will immediately make this public."
"I wonder how many enemies Edward has who are waiting to see him fail?”
"Quite a few."
He had recovered from his surprise about the map. He remained nonchalant and kept that smile on his face constantly.
It's annoying me. I can't tell if he's taking me seriously or not.
"Edward, you have what you wanted. Take me back to my pack as we agreed.
What happens next has nothing to do with me or my pack.
Just as he was about to speak, his deep brown eyes suddenly turned dark red. A beam of light flashed. I knew this was him using his mind link.
After only a moment, his brown eyes returned. He barked a laugh and covered his mouth with his hand.
"That situation is about to change, my love."
I frowned, not understanding what he meant. Until my phone vibrated. A message arrived from my beta, which I quickly opened.
"Henry Cooper!" I grit my teeth as I shouted his name, unable to maintain my polite demeanour.
Edward looked at me calmly and picked up his teacup. "I see you have received the news then. Henry has attacked the Swiftwood Pack he's right at your doorstep."
He wasn't wrong. That bastard Henry is leading an attack on my pack!
Damn it! We grew up together. How could he do such a thing?
"My best guess is that Henry will take down Swiftfoot in about thirty minutes." He was looking down at his expensive watch.
I grabbed on to my skirt tightly, my palms sweating.
He was right. Henry could take down my pack easily. I hadn't considered it as an option. Henry will be despised by all werewolves for attacking my pack after his affair was exposed.
How could he be so shameless?
I forced myself to calm down. Although Edward was unreliable he was currently my best choice to save my pack.
"I'll do it. I'll help you attack the Nightfall Pack."
Edward made a non-committal noise and stood up, looking down at me.
"Good. But, now I want to change the terms."
Damn it! He's taking advantage of the situation.
"What do you want?"
He dropped down next to me, throwing his arm around me.
"You, I want you.”
