Dn''s POV


    "Dn, I just got information from our spy in the Silver Moon Pack that Princess Aurora and Bane have left the Pack. I heard they were headed to your Pack where Princess Aurora would be named Luna."


    It was only early morning and I had only left my room to the conference room where Johnny and a few guards were. Not that there was a time for bad news, but


    I didn''t expect to get that kind of news that early.


    My nose red as anger coursed through my veins. I was jealous too, and unashamedly so.


    No matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to ever go my way, but with Bane, it was quite the opposite.


    Everything he touched turned to gold. He had all things working out for him, just the way he wanted it to and it always got me so upset. Why not me?


    He fixed his eyes on the throne; on my throne, a throne that was my birthright, just as my father always told me when I was younger, even in his presence. He wasn''t content with ying second fiddle as was his rightful ce. Instead, he reached out to forcefully grab my throne and despite my best efforts, he did.


    It wasn''t just the fact that he got his hands on my throne that annoyed me. It was how he went about it. He was down in our first bout. I had him where I wanted him, but instead of yielding, he decided to trick his way into having the match rescheduled to ater date. That alone served to demoralise me and he took his chance. We both know that I was the better and stronger man. Our father did too.


    As if that wasn''t enough for him, he decided to bring Sophia, his mate, to the Pack which was alright. We were all expected to do that anyway. But then, instead of focusing on the woman, he also had his eyes set on Aurora, who I had managed to befriend. Such greed! He was bent on having everything to himself and leaving me with nothing. That was unfair.


    Yet, when he saw me with Sophia, he looked like he had been betrayed. Such a stupid hypocrite he was. He acted like he had been so faithful to Sophia, when in fact he had always had an eye for Aurora and might have had one or two nights of pleasure with her.


    I saw the way he looked at her. I saw how she made him feel. He wanted to enjoy something that he wouldn''t let another enjoy. That was his nature. Everything was to be his and nothing for others.


    His rtionship with Aurora was proof of my assumptions. As soon as Sophia gave him a reason to, he quickly jumped into Aurora''s arms and made it his home. He had twodies at his disposal, while I hid away in thend of the rogues, having to make do with their low-ss women. How could he be so lucky?


    Filled with rage and fury, I hung my fist on the chair where I sat. "Calm down, Dn. Please," Johnny pleaded, as I tried in vain to keep my temper in check.


    "Sophia is still in the dungeon," he continued. "They left her there to suffer. Ever since they locked her up there, her life has been very miserable. They even barely give her new clothes to change in. Our spy has been checking on her daily and her condition hasn''t changed at all."


    I smirked on hearing that. All the anger that I felt quickly wiped away as I became so full of reinvigorated hope. My face lit up as I felt a grin springing forth on my face.


    "What''s up, Dn?" Johnny asked, seemingly spotting the change in my mood.


    I smirked again, a bit surprised that he hadn''t seen what I had, based on what he said to me, seeing that he was so good with ns.


    "Do you remember the day that I told you that I had an idea concerning Sophia?"


    "Yes, I do. I can remember very vividly," he said with a nod and I cleared my throat.


    "Hey, guards,e on over here," I called out to the guards who quickly drew closer to me. "I intend to find a way to kidnap Sophia so we can bring her here."


    The room got very quiet as everyone turned to look at each other. They all pondered over it, Johnny too. From the look on their faces, it seemed to me that they didn''t buy into the idea; at least, not wholeheartedly and I was annoyed with theirck of vision.


    "Dn, while your idea sounds like a good one to me, and probably to everyone else here, you seem to be forgetting one crucial piece of information."


    "What is it, if I may ask?"


    "Kidnapping Sophia won''t be an easy task. It''s a task that is sure to prove very difficult," he countered, as I waited for him to finish what he had to say. "The Pack and the dungeon that Sophia is in, are very heavily guarded and passing through those guards and breaking in would be nearly impossible in my opinion."


    I scoffed, refusing to see any sense in what he had said. Indeed, it was heavily guarded but that didn''t mean that it could not be permeated.


    "If the prison or dungeon or whatever you want to call it was that heavily guarded, how is it that the spy that we assigned there has been doing his duty so well daily?"


    Johnny gasped on hearing my question. So did the guards. They didn''t think of it that way and I couldn''t me them. That was exactly why I was the one fit to lead them. They couldn''t do without my expertise. They needed me even more than I needed them. But I did need them still.


    "Think about what I''ve said and you''ll see that we have a chance to bring her here."


    Johnny nodded in agreement and that was my cue to move forward. "We will kinda Sophia and bring her here so we''ll be able to work on some of our ns together. I''m sure she''d love that too," I said, standing to my feet. "If we''re going to cause some chaos, we''ll be needing all that we can get and Sophia can help us so well."


    Although I knew that Sophia wasn''t going to be so happy with me, after all that happened, I knew she was certainly more than bittered about her condition and if I found a way to release her, then we''d be more than even.


    I also knew how much hatred she was surely going to have for everyone who had


    a hand in keeping her in that condition, including Aurora and Bane. She was the perfect asset for the job at hand.


    "You''re right, Dn," Johnny agreed, and weughed and shook hands for what was toe.
