Chapter 142


    142 - The Silver Crest Territory ADAN STONE.


    I watched as, group by group, Lucy transported our warriors to their assigned borders.


    And after thest group was gone, I gave her a nod and transported my body immediately with both


    Collin and de, who were holding onto my shoulders, which no longer bothered me at all.


    In an instant, we were sucked into limbo, and our feet dropped onto the dusty ground of the za.


    We heard gasps and growls from a few of Ethan’s men around us, but what caught my attention was


    the blubbering sounds that escaped the throat of the male tied up in a post with his body badly beaten.


    "Alpha...


    Dalton’s voice broke as his whole body shook from his sobs when he realized it was de that


    appeared in front of him.He waspletely naked, covered in blood, and had cuts and bruises from


    the beating.His eyes and lips were swollen, but he was tilting his head up to look at his Alpha in the


    eye.


    de was trying to keep himself from shaking, but I could feel anger surging up from his aura.


    I took the steps toward Dalton, cutting the rope that held his body up with my ws, and caught him in


    my arms.I heard Ethan’s warrior growling, ready to attack us, but I summoned a ring of fire to protect


    the four of us on the makeshift stage that they created.


    With Dalton leaning his whole body on me, I shifted my gaze between de and Collin.They’re just a


    few here.You can handle them.I’ll be back."


    I didn’t wait for any response as I transported Dalton with me to the infirmary in my territory, the one


    nearest the warriors’ building.


    Wended in the middle of the emergency room, much to the surprise of the medical crew, but I didn’t


    have time to exin.


    "Take care of him, and make sure to reach out to my Luna, if you need any permission on some


    things," I advised in a hurried tone.


    "Yes, Alpha."


    The doctor replied as he guided me to where I should ce Dalton while I mindlinked Lucy to let her


    know Dalton was in the infirmary.


    ‘‘Got it.I love you" she replied, and I cut off the mindlink immediately as the limbo sucked my body


    again and brought me to the same ce where I left them.


    I was worried hell had broken loose, but I underestimated de and Collin.


    It seemed like they jumped off over the fire I made because when I came back, they were outside of it


    already and the six men guarding Dalton earlier were already tied up.


    "No casualties, Alpha," Collin said.


    "Good.Did you ask where Ethan is?"


    "In one of the borders," de answered in a deep, cold voice.


    ‘Alpha, Alpha Ethan shifted and ran away"


    One of my warriors dug into my head.


    ‘Where are you?’


    ‘Border near the Costello tower.He was in the neutral forest now.We are trying to track him, but he


    knew this forest so well"


    ‘Got it"


    I cut the mindlink and discussed the scenario with de.We then ced the six captured warriors


    inside the ring of fire before we left them.


    Collin met up with the warriors who were able to advance from the border near the packhouse.


    He would be leading them to enter and seize the packhouse while de and I transported our bodies


    to where Ethan was headed.


    I might be a demon, but at this point, Beast was salivating to catch Ethan, and I knew his nose was


    more familiar to him.So I let him.


    de and I didn’t waste time and shifted into our wolves.


    Soon the earth shook as our paws padded across the ground, heading in the direction de thought


    Ethan was heading.


    Since de did not belong to my pack, I had no way ofmunicating with him in wolf form.


    We eventually got separated because Beast didn’t want to be controlled and wanted to go somewhere


    he was certain Ethan was going.


    It didn’t take long before his scent reached us, and Imanded Beast to let me take over, and as


    much as he didn’t want to, he let me win this time.


    Beast shifted back into my human form while I was still running, and soon I was running on my feet, still


    at full speed, before my body ascended in the air as my wings erupted from my back.


    I was flying as I scoured the area until I spotted Ethan’s wolf below.I wasted no time as I dove to where


    he was, blocking his wolf from running, which made me and his wolf collide.


    The impact was so strong that both our bodies bounced off in the opposite direction.


    Ethan shifted into his human form at once, eyes dting as he growled at me.


    "This has nothing to do with your pack! I sent your warriors back! "


    He spat at me as he crouched down as if about tounch an attack.


    "You killed two of mine!" I growled at him.


    "I didn''t know! If I knew, I would have never touched them!"


    He growled back, but I saw uncertainties flitting in his eyes as he wiped his mouth with the back of his


    hand.


    "Pleading ignorance won’t save you! “


    "You''re at a fucking advantage because you''re a fucking demon! Fight fair, Stone!"


    I retracted my wings and scoffed at him.


    ''You’re no match for me, even in our human forms.I should have killed you at the feast."


    "Wrong move to let me live."


    He scoffed, as a devil’s grin tugged on his lips.


    "If I kill you tonight, your territory will be mine, and I’ll make sure your Luna will kneel before me and


    suck my..."


    I didn''t let him finish his sentence before leaping forward and aiming for him in the air,nding exactly in


    front of him, and delivering a hard jab to his shoulder, the exact spot where his father had once hit me.

    My punches were strong even before, but I was sure that since a part of me turned demon, the power


    had doubled or maybe tripled, and I had no way to control it when I was in a rage.


    His loud cry erupted in the thin air as his knees dropped to the ground at the same time Inded on my


    feet.


    I moved backward before swinging my leg forward and hitting his face with my knee.


    It made him fall backward.


    He panted, trying not to let out another scream.


    My footnded on his shoulder, pressing it to the ground.


    "One more fucking time you disrespect my Luna or even think of her ina fucking malicious way, I will cut


    your dick and your balls and make you eat them in front of your men!"


    He didn’t respond, but I saw veins popping from his neck as his eyes dted.He was letting his wolf


    heal him.


    I wanted to end his life already, but 1 knew de had to be the one to do it.I stayed standing, hovering


    over his body, my foot on his shoulder, pressing it now and then when I got bored.


    Where the fuck was de? "Let’s negotiate, Stone."


    He broke the silence between us, flinching when I pressed his shoulder again.


    "You can have this territory, and I have other territories I just acquired recently.You can have them.Let


    me go."


    "I don’t want this pack or any of the packs you conquered."


    "What do you want?"


    "Your head.I’m so fucking tired of looking at your face.You should have stayed in your area and didn’t


    cross over here."


    "I have a son, Stone."


    I swallowed at his words as my heart clenched.


    He got me there, but before I had a chance to say or do anything, aloud growl erupted in the air, and


    Hawke, de’s wolf, surfaced from the bushes behind me and leaped to where we were.


    Ethan’s eyes widened in surprise as the wolf shifted right in front of his eyes, and without any warning,


    de reached for his hair, gripping it so tightly that I had no choice but to let go of his shoulder as


    de began to drag his naked body harshly in the opposite direction before he swung it and tossed it


    away like Ethan weighed nothing.


    His body mmed on the trunk of the big tree, and my eyes squinted at the sound it created upon


    impact, together with the sound of his painful cry as his body slid down to the ground.


    I was watching de prepare to attack him again when the pain hit my chest and another came almost


    simultaneously.


    It made my body freeze in ce — two casualties.


    ~~ LUCY.


    I paced back and forth inside Aiden’s nursery, in front of his crib.


    We should be in our suite, trying to sleep, but I knew I would never be able to sleep peacefully knowing


    my mate was not home and was not 100 percent safe.


    And Aiden probably felt the same way, as he wasn’t showing any signs of sleepiness.


    I had my walls up, and Adan for sure had his as well, as we were supposed to do.I couldn''t feel any


    emotions from him from our bond, and it was making me more restless as I had no idea what was


    going on.


    All I knew was that he had brought Dalton, Fabian’s Gamma, to the infirmary, and he was being


    attended to already while he went back to the Silver Crest territory.


    "Come on,e on!" I had no idea what I was asking for.


    It had not even been an hour since they left, and I was already agitated.


    I turned around, ready to walk in the other direction when a spark like a bolt appeared in front of me,


    and I found myself eye-to-eye with my brother.


    "Lucius! For Goddess’ sake, why do you have to appear in my space?"


    I almost screamed at him.


    "I had no fucking idea you would turn around."


    He chuckled before his attention went to my pup, whose face lit up at the sight of him.


    "The prince of darkness is still awake."


    "Adan attack Silver Crest Pack." I ignored his words.


    "I know."


    "You know?" I asked, my brows hiking up.


    "You act surprised as if you don’t know I had my eyes on this house because my nephew is here.Right,


    little demon?"


    He winked at Aiden, who let out a gurgling sound as if he were responding, which made my brother


    laugh out loud.


    "I fucking wish I had the power to understand your words."


    "What do you want?" I asked.


    "Nothing.Perhaps you want to know what’s going on where they are?"


    "Will you help me see what’s going on in there?"


    "Let’s say that’s the reason I went here."


    My arms flew up and wrapped around his body as I mmed my face onto his chest.


    "Oh, Lucius! You have no idea how I want that!"


    "Next time you have to pay for any service I have to give."


    "Name it except our souls."


    "You''re crazy if you think I can even buy your soul.Get ready...Do you know the ces where you want


    to check?"


    "Just the borders, as I was not able to glimpse the inside of the territory."


    "Then we can only see the border."


    "That’s enough for me."


    In no time, Lucius pulled up a hologram andid out his hand for me to take.


    I took it without inhibitions and thought of the first border, where Adan had taken me earlier.


    "Looks like you’re winning on this side. Next."


    Lucius stated, and I summoned the image of the next border, this one was the one near the packhouse,


    ording to Adan.


    "No one is there...It’s quiet." I mumbled.


    "I assumed they won this border and are now inside their territory.Otherwise, if the enemies win this


    side, there will be warriors guarding the border."


    "That makes sense.Let’s move to the next border."


    We continued the process until we reached the fifth border, and my heart clenched at the sight I saw on


    the hologram.


    Aloud gasp escaped my lips as I watched ws plummet into Kevin’s heart, one of our warriors, and


    his limp body fell to the ground with a loud thud before another one suffered the same fate.


    We were outnumbered in this area, but they were still trying.


    "Lucius! They need me."


    My hand went to his forearm, gripping it tightly.


    Even without any expression on his face, I knew he understood what I wanted to say.


    "I can take care of Luther." I swallowed hard.


    I had never left Luther alone with anyone except Adan or my parents -inw.But I just couldn’t let my


    people die when I was capable of doing something.


    "Are we back to, no, I don’t trust you, Lucius?" He asked, his brows hiking up.


    "You know your son is safest with me.Everyone in this ce can die, but I will make sure my nephew


    will survive." I nodded my head at him.


    "Now, go before it’s toote." I turned to where Aiden was and gave him a soft peck on his head.


    "Be a good demon and stay here with Uncle Lucius, okay?"


    His eyes zed red for a second before returning to normal, which was nothing unusual.My son had


    always been a show- off with his demon abilities since day one.


    In just a flick of my fingers, the lounge pants and sweater I had on were reced by a tight-fitting ck


    bodysuit, and my red hair was up in a tight ponytail.I nodded my head to Lucius before I let my body be


    sucked into limbo and ended up where I wanted to go.
