“Who has his number? This has to end today.” Knight was shaking in anger.
“You can’t do this out of anger. Let that emotion calmer, and then we can make a plan to deal with this.” I knew what it was like to feel violated and disrespected.
“This is our fault, Alpha Knight,” West finally said. “I will do whatever they want just to stop harassing us.”
“You will not do such a thing. Travis is an arrogant son of a bitch, and if they think they can scare us because they have guns, they just make their biggest mistake. This can’t go on. It has to end today, and they shouldn’t have laid their hands on both of you.”
“What are you going to do, Knight?”
He looked at me. “What I should have done a long time ago when they started bullying the twins. I gave them a chance, and they came for us. Now, I have to eliminate one problem at a time.”
“I went scouting outside the nightclub. I think they don’t do business transactions there anymore. I couldn’t follow up where they transferred to, but I have a feeling they are in the warehouse,” Tucker said.
“Where is it, Tucker?”
“Perry Road, Motor parts Warehouse.”
“Knight, may I have a word?”
He was torn between giving me a chance to lecture him or ripping body parts. “Of course.”
“In private.”
He breathed deeply before he walked with me. “I know you disagree with my plans, but-”
“What is your plan exactly? Walking into Travis’s trap? You don’t have a concrete plan, Knight, and if you let your rage and anger decide your actions, that can kill you and these guys because they will follow you to the end of the earth. We should plan this carefully. I know you don’t want to hear about me giving you unsolicited advice. Still, you can’t just go raiding a warehouse where you don’t even know what you’re walking into, how many people are waiting, or what about the floor plan. Maybe they put some traps because that’s what he expected from you when he hung the wolf’s head.”
“What do you want me to do, Nirvana? They won’t end this until they get what they want?”
“And if you do this without a plan, it’s like giving them what they want on a silver platter, Knight. Be strategic here before going with the guys. Remember what you said to me? We have bigger problems than Travis, and it’s even bigger than us. He is a lowlife thug. If you can call the police for harassing you-”
“And then what? Show them a wolf’s head?”
I smiled. “Yeah. That was terrible. One question.”
“What?” he asked impatiently.
“Do they know you are werewolves?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Otherwise, they’ve already left us alone and stopped harassing the twins. And I don’t think they believe werewolves exist.”
“I may have a plan.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“Let’s go back to the pack house.”
“All right.” He signaled the guys. Luka rode our bike to us.
“You, twins, bury the head of the wolf.”
“We will, Alpha.”
“So what are we gonna do now?” Kaleb came to us.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“We will do something that they least expect?”
“What is it, Luna?” Luka asked.
“We will go to Travis’s house.”
“What? That’s your plan?” Knight questioned my decision.
“Yes. We show them what you all are. Anyone they would tell their story to that you are werewolves, they think they are crazy. Scare them away, but if they already know what you are, they should have silver bullets or traps. That’s what we should be prepared for. I’ll pretend I control all of you-”
“No, no, no. No fucking way you’re coming with us.”
“Let her go with you. She’s actually stronger than maybe all of us. No offense,” McKaye agreed.
“What can you do, Luna?”
“Shut up. Bury the head, and don’t question her like that,” McKaye scolded North.
“That was an honest question, Mac. I’m just curious,” North replied.
“I’m a mermaid,” I told him seriously.
“Really, like a siren?”
“You wanna hear me sing, North?”
“No, ma’am.” He took it seriously or didn’t want to tell me I was lying.
“That’s Good because my voice will keep you awake at night for the rest of your life.” I sighed. “I want to be involved, Knight. Don’t bench me on this.”
“But how do we know if they still don’t know about us?”
“You go together and knock on their door,” Dylan suggested.
“Bad idea, cousin. We should catch them off guard.”
“How?” Kaleb asked.
“This is probably against the council, but we should go before sundown. Where’s the house?”
“I know where he lives,” Knight said.
“We can link, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go.”

Travis’s house was in the uphill, and no one seemed home. It was past eight in the evening when we arrived by foot at his property. It was actually lovely.
I didn’t know bikers could earn pretty good, but a part of me knew what kind of business his father had. They dealt with illegal fighting clubs and probably drugs, as well.
We began climbing the walls while McKaye was handling the electrical power and alarm system.
“Stay with me all the time,” Knight said to our link.
“I have no plan improvising, Alpha. We stick to the plan.” I followed him as the lights turned off from the house. I wouldn’t ask how Knight owned a smart unlocking device, but I thought it was impressive.
I heard the door unlock. We got inside the house while McKaye, Luka, Maddox, Kaleb, Dylan, and the twins had planned on their own.
“I can’t see anything,” I complained because werewolves in wolf forms could see in the dark.
“You can, but don’t use your power.”
“Only when I need it. Got it. Where is his bedroom?”
“Probably upstairs.” Knight held my hand as we headed to the second floor. Travis had a modern house with glass walls and a minimalist interior.
“Guys, we have movements. Two vehicles are headed your way,” Tucker said as he was assigned as the lookout. Apparently, he was good with long-range rifles.
“This is his bedroom.” Knight unlocked it with ease. The room was spacious and too colorful for someone like Travis.
“Are you sure? Red velvet bed sheet and duvet, really?”
“Maybe he has a thing for colors.” He chuckled and went to the drawers. “Look what we have here.” He found Travis’s gun inside the drawer. It was a good thing we came prepared with our gloves and masks on, but we took off our masks once we were inside his bedroom.
“Heading your way, Alpha,” Luka updated us.
“We’re in position,” McKaye said.
And I heard footsteps.
“Why is it dark? Did someone forget to pay the bill?” a male voice asked playfully.
“Roy will check it.” That was Travis.
I was already sitting on the corner chair while Knight was standing beside me. He drew the curtain of the glass door to the balcony so the moonlight would reflect inside.
The door swung open. I held my gasp. My hand was on my mouth as I held my breath, but my eyes were wide to watch what was happening before me.
Travis was kissing a man, and their hands were all over each other.
“Well, this is an interesting plot twist.” Knight clapped his hands.
Travis and his man pulled apart, shocked to see us in his bedroom. “What the fuck, Blackwell?”
“Sit down.” Knight gestured the gun for them, but Travis was a son of a bitch. The man with him was handsome, and he took a seat slowly. “I let you live that night, and you should just let that go, but you came to my property and hung a wolf’s head for what? To show me you got balls in you?”
“You ruined my life.” He spat out his anger.
“Did I? Who bullied my boys? And how is it that I ruined your life when we almost got killed? But you never learn, and you’re still a fucking moron.” His voice echoed. His chest filled with rage when he took a step forward.
“What are you going to do, huh? Kill us? We have cameras everywhere. I don’t know how you get in, but I have men down. You and your bit-” He did not finish his words. Knight’s fist hit his face, and he stumbled onto the bed.
The man with him shook. He definitely had no idea who Travis was. Maybe he had just been picked up in the club and didn’t know what he had just gotten himself into.
“Call her bitch again. I swear, I will pull out your teeth one by one. Do you fucking understand me?”
“I know who you are?” I admired his guts.
“Who am I?” Knight grabbed him on his chest. “Tell me, and I will show you who I really am, Travis. Does your father know you like cocks?”
“You won’t dare.” Oh shit. Cadogan didn’t know. Travis still talked, but I could smell his fear in the air.
“Guys, move but be careful. They are armed.” Just right, Knight finished his words through our pack link, and I heard screams.
The man crawled and curled into a ball at the corner while Travis just heard the fate of his men. Horror filled his wide eyes, and his body began shaking. He didn’t call his men because he knew there was no one else to call.
Knight wasn’t done. “I will not kill you because I want you to send this message that if any of you pull that stunt again or hurt any animals, I will come and cut your head off myself and send it to your father. Do you fucking understand me?”
I made a whistle as a sign as if I controlled the wolves downstairs.
“Whatever you know about me, that’s probably true.” Knight threw him in bed.
I got up and went to the door. The wolves entered his bedroom, and that was when I heard Travis scream for his life.
