CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

LEWIS

“Block all the roads. No one is allowed to cross the borders.”

Roughly an hour after my conversation with Lia, I was sitting in the middle of my study with most of the

high-ranking werewolves in the pack was gathered. “I am deploying everyone, including those who are

on vacation. Block all entry and exit to the royal castle. Don’t let a single fly go out,” I ordered in a stern

voice. It was a highly treasonous statement that would surely send a werewolf to the dungeon. Despite

this, everyone in the room calmly accepted my order. “Yes, alpha,” without hesitation, they

simultaneously declared. I put my elbow on top of the table and placed my chin on my palm. “Any

question?” I asked them.

My question was like a trigger that set everyone excited. In just a snap of a finger, their serious faces

turned eager and passionate. “Alpha,” it was Simon who spoke first. I nodded at him, allowing him to

speak. “Alpha, do we need to send warriors to the royal castle too?” He asked with a voice filled with

excitement.

Suddenly, the old man beside him raised his hand and smacked Simon at the back of his head.

“Rascal! Why would you even ask our alpha that question? Of course, we will! How are we supposed to

siege the castle if we don’t march towards it?” Martin, the captain of the warriors, yelled. “You-you’re

right!” Simon bellowed. “I apologize for being too slow, alpha!” He loudly stated before bowing down.

“It’s been a long time since I had a proper fight. Later, I should sharpen my fangs,” Martin laughed

loudly. His statement seemed to set the others into uproar. “That’s right, old Martin. The two of us

should have a spar tonight to see if your old bones have already rusted. “I’ve always wanted to battle

with those snotty royal warriors. Now it will finally be fulfilled,” another stated.

The corners of my eyes twitched. I slightly raised my palm and said, “Hold up.” Everyone immediately

shut their mouths. “You will only block the roads to and from the royal castle and will not do anything

else,” I told them. Everyone looked at me with confusion and disappointment. How could I not know?

These rascals were thinking of besieging the royal castle and installing me as the lord of werewolves

by force. In their hearts, I should rightfully possess the throne.

However, while I acknowledged their sentiments and loyalty, that place is not where I belong. “Fix your

thoughts. We are only blocking the roads and not taking over the castle by force,” I told them. “Eh, we

are not?” Simon asked. I sent him a stern look, which effectively made him and the other shut their

mouths. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

‘In a short while, the bug that I planted will report to the enemy that the lady has died. For this to be

effective, no one should be able to visit the royal castle. Everyone inside should also be prevented from

going out,’ I tapped my finger on my lips as I thought to myself.

Coincidentally, as I contemplated, I received a message from the said bug. ‘As expected, the fools did

not even verify the veracity of the news,’ I chuckled.

So it’s time to do the next move.’

Earlier, Lia already informed me that the next attack would be towards the Pack of Emoresi, her pack

by birth. In her vision, because that pack is close to the royal castle, an unusual amount of werewolves

gathered in their territory in order to attend the wake of the lady. The enemies pretended as mourners

and mingled together with the others. It was an extraordinary time and no attack had yet been made at

that time, so that bastard Alec foolishly allowed everyone inside his territory.

Unfortunately, they started their attack a day after their arrival. The Pack of Emoresi is also one of the

strongest packs in the world and were able to push them out of their territory. Unfortunately, because

they were caught unprepared, many lives were lost, most of these were the warriors from the other

territories were the enemies secretly mingled with. ‘Hmmm,’I deeply contemplated and ignored

everyone else. Suddenly, I smiled, effectively sending the others on their feet as they nervously and

carefully observed me. I sighed. My pack members are composed of strong rascals who easily get

scared by my simple actions. Of course, I could not totally blame them. After all, they know me well.

Thus, I ignored them and stood up. “Do what I tell you. Gamma Simon will oversee everything because

the Beta has something else to do,” I ordered and gave the now pale Gamma a look. “Yes, Alpha,”

everyone replied. I nodded before walking out. When I was by the doorside, however, I stopped walking

and issued another order to my overworked Gamma, “Oh. Also prepare a grand ceremony. I will

formally introduce your Luna to the pack after we arrive from our excursion.” .
