Magnus fist slammed against the desk, his nostrils flaring and his jaw clenched.
“How could they accept such a nobody as their mate? Do they even cherish their position as Alphas?” Magnus roared, with anger dripping from his tone.
“I don't remember training them to be so pathetic. I suspect that despicable Omega decided to meet with a witch to fake the bond, just to gain some respect in the pack .” Magnus voice thundered through the room.
Beta Aldric stood at Magnus’ side, listening to his his frastration with a blank expression.
“I think I have to find a way to end their useless bond” Magnus stated.
“I think you should kill her quietly. Perhaps order a lesser wolf to do it, then we banish them after. We'll pretend to catch the murderer, meanwhile it was us all along.” Beta Aldric replied and his idea was just as cunning as his personality. He was like a snake, always striking at vulnerabilities and recently he had begun crafting a dangerous plan for Magnus himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, but I think we can just threaten her to leave and if she refuses we go with your plan.” Magnus said a bit calmer than the tone he used earlier on.
“Okay, it's a good idea but it's good to end her once and for all. If we are going with your plan we can offer some money as compensation, to make it enticing for a nobody like her.” Beta Aldric suggested.
“That's a good plan to add compensation. You see this is why I choose you as my beta.” Magnus said with a smirk on his lips.
Beta Aldric smiled politely, but his eyes remained cold and unreadable.
“I'm going to check the pack warriors to see, how far they have gone with their training.” Beta Aldric announced and left to the training ground without waiting for a response from Magnus.
As he walked towards the training ground, he could hear whispers from minor wolves. The whispers died instantly, when they acknowledge his presence.
When he arrived at the training ground, the pack warriors even the strongest, were practicing lazily, and the captain wasn't there. He knew that if they was an attack at the borders the pack warriors would likely be defeated.
“All of you get back to your training. Now!” Beta Aldric ordered, his eyes narrowing as he folded his arms across his chest.
Immediately Beta Aldric announced this, the pack warriors became more serious with their training.
“Make it more intense,” Beta Aldric commanded as he paced between the rows of warriors.
The pack warriors trained like the never did in weeks. The trained as if preparing for a war that will soon come.
“Now, practice your sword skills and make it better.”
The pack warriors drew their swords and began practicing. This practicing took hours before Beta Aldric commented.
“Good. You guys divide yourselves into pairs and practice your skills with your partners.” Beta Aldric said.
The pack warriors did as he said for two hours and they became so exhausted.
“All of you have trained so well today so I give you one week break. You could use this time to bond with your family or the closest people to you.” Beta Aldric said with a bright smile, but what they didn't know was that it was all part of his plan.
The pack warriors were excited but they didn't show it.
Beta Aldric left the training ground back to Magnus quarters.
Magnus sat hunched over the desk, flipping through some files with furrowed brows.
Magnus sensed Aldric presence in the room, so he lifted his head to confirm, and behold it was Aldric.
Magnus streched out his hands with a file in it. “Aldric, have a look at this file.”
Beta Aldric collected the file from to have a look at it. When he saw what it was he got a bit surprised. The file contained the collaboration with the Red Moon Crescent Pack, and he knew the pack is the most powerful and feared pack. He knew that if the Magnus formed an alliance with the Red Moon Crescent Pack, it would destroy his perfectly laid plan.
“I think they are just trying to get something from you and as we know they are the most powerful and feared pack. What if we collaborate with them and they decide to turn against us.” Beta Aldric suggested.
“That could be true and I'll think about it before I reply.” Magnus stated frankly
“Okay but they are still dangerous so if I was you I'll choose wisely.” Aldric announced.
“Okay, I've heard your advice.” Magnus uttered
“But, if you are looking for an alliance you can go form one with the Blood Moon Pack, there are also powerful but not dangerous” Aldric suggested so he could easily carry out his plan, since he formed an alliance with the pack.
“Ohh, not really interested in forming an alliance.” Magnus replied sincerely.
“Okay.”
“Anyways how are the pack warriors training going?” Magnus asked
“They were training very well when I arrived and they seemed very ready for any war or unexpected attack at the borders.” Aldric lied with a blank expression and no form of suspission in his tone.
“That's great to hear.” Magnus said with a smile curling on his lips.
“I gave them few days to rest so they could bond with their family. Because I heard that they hadn't had time for their family from the captain. The captain hadn't actually said it directly, but implied they have been working tiredlessly.” Aldric lied again flawlessly without a flicker of emotion.
“Okay, that's really good of you.” Magnus complimented Aldric.
“Should I call the Omega now, so we can tell her to leave.” Aldric stated.
“Not now, I'll do it later but it will be in the night.”Magnus uttered flatly.
“When we have finally gotten rid of the Omega. I think you should choose a Luna for the Alphas.” Aldric suggested.
“That makes sense, maybe your daughter, can be the Luna of the pack, since she's everything we need in a Luna for the Alphas.” Magnus replied, already buying into the idea.
Aldric was a bit excited, because he had actually made Magnus fall for his plan. He had waited patiently for his plan to unfold. Now that he had taken the initiative, he marvelled at how easily they fell for it. What he knew was soon, he shall take over the pack and instead of being called Beta, he'll be called Alpha.
“Yes, that's a great idea to make her the Luna, and I think she's the perfect fit for that position.” Aldric added, with his normal unreadable expression on his facial features.
