Dn''s POV


    "Dn, I don''t think this is a very good idea. I think you need to think this through first. It could backfire, especially since we don''t have a definite n."


    I paused a bit, trying to make it seem like I was giving thought to everything that Johnny said but I wasn''t. I was Dn, the true heir of the Blue Moon Pack and I did only what I felt was good. Besides, I was much smarter than both he and the messenger standing by his side.


    "You''re right, Johnny," I smirked. "We don''t have any ns at all, but I do. I have a well-thought-out n and in due time, I''ll let y''all in on that but not yet. It''ll ruin the surprise and the fun thates with it. That wouldn''t be fair, would it?"


    "But..."


    I red at him and he immediately stopped talking. He was beginning to get on my nerves. I hated his recent habit of challenging my decisions. He must have thought that he was better or smarter than me, simply because I chose to give heed to his counsel. I didn''t like that at all, especially because he wasn''t.


    "This is the best thing to do and you know it. For how long do you want us to stay silent? It was you who came to tell me that they know where we are. If they are aware of our location, for how long must we keep mute?"


    "For as long as we can, Dn," he replied. I sensed a bit of anger in his voice. "We can''t invite a problem that we''re not capable of handling at the moment. We need toy low for now as we keep drawing our ns so that when we do attack them, they won''t know what hit them. I thought this was our n all along."


    "Indeed, it was, but ns change, don''t they?" I chuckled. "We can''t afford to fight the Blue Moon Pack on a neutral basis. As much as we have help from the Rogue Alpha, we both know that it''ll take more than that to defeat the Pack. That is why I need to send a message to them. I need to send a warning; something to put fear in them. We need fear on our side. Every great warlord will always tell anyone who cares to hear that the greatest ally isn''t your fellow warriors from neighbouring Packs, but fear. With fear on our side, there''ll be no stopping us at all. I need you to see that, Johnny."


    "Is sending a message to your father the best way you know to put fear in their minds?"


    "Do you know any better alternative?" I asked, and as I expected, there was no response. "Good. Let me do my thing then."


    I turned to the messenger whom I had asked to get writing material so he could write the letter as I said the words to him. "Are you ready?" I asked him, very keen to pour out the words as they lined up in my mind.


    "Yes, sir. I am."


    "Father, I need you to know that I still love and care about you and whatever it is that is about to happen has nothing to do with me. You and your son, Alex have brought this upon yourselves and I have no choice but to do what I''m about to do.


    In a few days, I''ll being to the Pack to visit you. We''ll have a good old family reunion. I hope to see my sweet mother so I can kiss her. I''m sure she''d be very happy to see me. I hope you would too, my dear father.


    I''ve made new friends too; quite a number of them. You know, I''m not as lonely as you might have thought I am. I can assure you that they''ll being over with me so I can properly introduce them to the family. I do hope you''d be ready to receive us. It should be a fast reunion and it''ll end in my long-awaited coronation as the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.


    I hope some people wouldn''t have to give their lives to the cause. I''d love to avoid it at all costs. I just want to pay you a friendly visit. Expect me in no distant time and always be ready. I could just be behind you, right now, dad. Who knows?"


    As soon as he wrote thest word and turned to look at me, Sophia appeared from nowhere, walking into the room with confident strides.


    "You can leave now. I need to have some time alone with her," I said to Johnny and the messenger who immediately left the room.


    "What was the discussion about, Dn?" She asked, as soon as she got close to


    me.


    I kissed her lightly on the lips and it felt so good. "Can we take a stroll?" I asked, offering her my hand.


    She nodded and grabbed my hand as we walked out of the room.


    Princess Sophia''s POV


    Holding onto Dn''s hand, we walked out of his room and into the open space. I waited patiently for him to say something as he seemed to be enjoying the walk more than I had expected, given that he always did his best to deny the fact that he was madly into me.


    "You''d tell me what you were talking about back in the room, wouldn''t you?" I asked again, in case he thought that I had forgotten.


    "Yeah. That''s why we''re out here," he replied with a smile. "You don''t ever give up, do you?"


    "Never."


    "Well, it''s about the n we have concerning Alex and my throne," he exined. "I intend to send a warning message to them today or tomorrow."


    "Why would you want to do that? It''ll make it clear to them that we''re going to attack them, taking away our precious element of surprise," I countered, failing to understand why someone as smart as I thought he was, would be willing to make such a stupid mistake.


    "You think they don''t know that we''d attack them soon?" Heughed. "I know my father and Alex so well. They''re already preparing for an attack from us or preparing an attack themselves. What I''m doing here is to instil fear in them. I need to make them see that we''re not afraid of them. I need them to see that we''re not at their mercy, as they may have thought in their minds. They need to see us as a threat; a real threat..."


    "Are we?"


    "You don''t believe that we are? With the number of troops we have on our side, coupled with the fear that I''m instilling in them, there''s no way we won''t take them down for sure."


    Looking into his eyes, I could see that he meant every word that came out of his lips and somehow, it gave me confidence.


    "Would you want us to attack your Pack or mine if we decide to take the fight to them?" He asked.


    I was thrown aback by that question as u never expected it at all. It was something that I needed to think about and I did just that. They were all in my Pack and so fighting there made some good sense. Yet, I also felt that his Pack was weaker without Alex and if we attacked them first, we''d be able to destroy everything and everyone there and lie in wait for them to return. We''ll be fighting them on our own terms and since Dn knew much about his Pack, it will also be an added advantage.


    "I..."


    I was interrupted by the sight of the Rogue Alpha who we spotted walking toward them. He didn''t look bad at all.


    "Greetings Dn," he said to him before turning to look at me. "Greetings, Princess Sophia."


    "Hey," I said to him with a wave as he smiled at me in a very naughty way and even winked.


    It was clear to me that he was into me and I loved that. I always loved to have the attention of men; especially handsome ones like him.


    I winked back at him and bit my lower lip, making it so hard for him to take his eyes off me.


    It was only after I felt a sharp pain on my left hand caused by Dn''s fingers that I realised that he had been noticing all that was happening and he wasn''t happy about it. I looked up at him and saw the way he scowled at the Rogue Alpha who stared back at him defiantly. It was a very tense atmosphere and the only thing that rescued the moment was that the Rogue Alpha finally decided to leave us and walk away.


    "What just happened?" Dn asked me very rudely, immediately letting go of my hands.


    "Nothing," I innocently replied, baring my arms. "We just exchanged pleasantries with the Rogue Alpha, didn''t we?"


    "You must think that I''m stupid," he yelled. "You were flirting with him, right in front of me. Have you no shame?"


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about, Dn. I was..."


    "Keep it to yourself!" He screamed at my face before turning around and storming away from the garden, leaving me there alone.
