The Alphas Dilemma

Chapter twenty eight

Emory's pov

Alex and Stephanie both smiled at me although they looked curious. It was my third day back at the pack and the third since I told them about my new plan but these two foster siblings of mine always had the same expression whenever we bring up the issue. Since my return from Gilbert’s abode. I couldn’t help but think that something big is going to happen soon, especially with the information I’d gotten so far.

"Are you certain it is what you want to do Emory? It's f*****g risky if you ask me. Not to mention the fact that Gilbert is filled with ugly monsters like himself. Lucas, Hunter, Elijah, Jenny, Sebastian, and the rest of his dragon council members. I think it is a nice plan but what if your idea doesn't push through?" Alex asked worriedly.

"Of course, it will. I have you and Stephanie to help me with it, right? I have my two well-trained assistants and I have some people over at Gilbert’s pack that I'm still cooking my relationship with. So it's going to be fine" I replied, sounding confident. “It is all going to come out great I’m sure of it”

"Oh Woah. Sounds like you are raising an empire. Should we be scared? Is the third world war coming soon?" Stephanie mocked. Out of the three of us, it was safe to say Stephanie was the one with better shooting skills. She hardly missed her target during the training session.

"Not at all. It's the second for me. Look guys I've seen what Gilbert does. That guy has no conscience whatsoever. He kills just for the mere fun of it. He destroys things because he is bored and I'm not so certain but I think he is preparing for a battle"

"Why do you say so?" Alex was more intrigued. Did you see or hear anything?”

"Hold on will you?” I said rolling my eyes. “He has an armory full of different types of guns and explosives. Knives and spears too. And I heard he has men on the training ground, however, who are learning shooting and archery. I don't know what he is training them up for"

"This is huge." Stephanie wheezed

“Yes, very huge…"

"And so f*****g risky too" Alex cut me off before I finished my statement.

"I know it is risky but what isn't? This is what I've been hatching for a while now and I'm not about to throw up all my preparatory activities. I battled, sacrificed, and endured your vigorous training for three years. I'm Emory Salvatore! I'm a silver wolf of Luna's breed—I'm the female king. Even I am a risk. Messing with me from the beginning was something neither of them should have done. Nothing is too risky for me! I'm back for vengeance and vengeance I shall gain”

"True… do you want to know what I think?" Alex asked

"What do you think?"

"I think you are the perfect person to bring Gilbert to his feet. These are my thoughts because I know you are the strongest person on earth and you deserve to be angry at him and the entire members of his pack. True, you are what you are because of your determination but you are also a gifted one. So yeah, it might be risky but not none achievable and if there's anyone who can and who should do it, I think it is you, Rayne. Your parents would be so proud of you Rayne"

"Thank you, Alex,” I replied with teary eyes.

"Awnn. I'm tearing up for real bro. That's so touchy. And yeah, not just your real parents Rayne, but also ours and yours your sibling. You need someone to pull the extra trigger you know who to call right?" Stephanie asked, using her middle, index, and thumb fingers to form a gun.

"Yeah, b***h. I know who to call…definitely" p said with a smug smile. It gladdened my heart and I couldn’t hide my glee whenever Alex or Stephanie showed me their support.

"Yeah right? So what's the plan?"

"First get more people from the inside to work with. I'm thinking of my former friend Jamil and Ruby, but during my first stay there I didn't see or hear anyone mention them. However, upon going back to the blood moon pack, I'll see what I can dig up. "

"About that, I can have the secret agent run out a search for you. He has this private investigator that carries out most of his searches for him and he always comes in handy. I don't know him much but I think he is a trustworthy person. “Stephanie suggested. “My boyfriend has a firm for those kinds of things”

"I think he is and since he and Gilbert aren't the best of friends I think your boyfriend will be more than enthusiastic to help. However, I don't think it is the best thing to do, at least not now. Using big connections such as the president's son should require a more complex approach. I don't want my wish box to run out before the battle begins. Help me talk to him. Fill him in on the necessary parts. I'll definitely need his help but not now. This is a simple issue and my male assistant should be able to take care of it."

"Roger that boss"

"Alright. So what comes next after finding Ruby and Jamil?"

"Finalize the setting up of my cartel— with the headquarter here and a branch in the west. The rest follows. What's important now is that I get non-barbaric people of like minds to work with. The rest follows as it comes"

"Great"

"So when are you going back to the blood moon pack?"

"Tonight! And I'm storming them with a majestic entry. Stay tuned for news flash"

"Oh, I will. With a bowl of popcorn and cold sprite"

"A bottle of whisky wouldn't be a bad idea now, will it?"

"No it won't" I answered and we all giggled. I think it was not farfetched to think there was some little good in Gilbert. He was good to me until he wasn't. Jenny made sure that my recollections are tinged with supreme scorn. I'd never make a mistake like Gilbert again. Angrily, I throw my half-eaten sandwich into the trash can beside my desk, that's where such memories belong. It had been a girl’s mistake, I reminded myself wryly. I was now far less ignorant about the nature of the male s*x, elites, Alpha especially. A satisfied smile softened the hard line of my pouty, expressive mouth when I thought of my current sweet Alpha, a gorgeous male specimen and billionaire who went to great lengths to please me in bed and out of it. And all without the fatal suffocating commitment of rings or nagging or noisy kids attached or woman's endorsement. What was not to like? I reasoned it is true that Alex, was an extremely generous lover but what money was for but enjoyment when you had as much as Alex now has? I might as well make something out of this distraction, I thought before picking up my mobile phone and dialing the number of a private detective I was introduced to at a networking party two years ago. Even then, I was tempted to hire the P.D to search for Ruby and Jamil but I held myself back. Waiting impatiently for the receiver to pick up the call, I tapped my slender fingers on my mahogany desk.

"Python speaking" a gruff voice sounded at the other end

"Mr. Python, this is Emory Salvatore we were introduction at a yacht party in New York last year," I said with fingers crossed, hoping that he’d remember me. I really hated introducing myself and one thing I’d come to realize with all these private investigators find it hard to remember a client’s name…. or was it merely a pretense

"I remember good day Miss Salvatore. How can I help you?" okay, theory flawed out. I’d been wrong .he remembered my name and where we had first met.

"I need to run a thorough background on two people"

"Name and current address of this 'two people', half payment before I start and a half when the work is completed" I sighed upon hearing this line of communication. I had no idea where their home is located or their address is. Who knows maybe they now have a different identity as I now do.

"That's the problem. I have no knowledge of their whereabouts" do not disappoint me, I prayed silently.

"That's no problem for me at all. Send me their names" oh. Well.

"Sure it isn't. I will send you an email with the necessary information"

"How fast do you want this?" Mr. Python croaked

"Asap! Although, I require a thorough check, and your utmost discretion"

"ASAP, it is. Discretion is the foundation of my business, I am nothing without the trust of my clients"

"Great"

"Good day Miss Salvatore."
