Chapter 204: Careful What You Ask For



Granted, he had heard the howls in the distance, but until he saw the body himself, there was no telling if that was the truth. After all, Razia Greyson had proven to him one too many times that his Malika would be collateral no matter what happened.

"What the fuck did you do?!" Jer shouted at Theo who was staring at the disappearing warriors.

Razia had been clear with him from the very beginning. He had to be the one to do it. Just him and no one else. And if it was that Rukiya Greyson was dead and that too by Theo\'s hands, his Malika was doomed.

Jer was angry.

He couldn\'t think straight, so instead of listening to what Malika had told him, the young Alpha decided to take out his anger on the unexpecting warrior, who was still in shock.

He couldn\'t believe what had happened and he was very sure this was a cause for war. The Greysons would never forgive the Sicarios for this and Theo had ensured that.

"I\'m sorry… I\'m sorry Alpha. I didn\'t know what happened. One moment I was fighting the warriors with my blades, and the next minute it was glistening with a fire and headed for the Greyson Alpha.

"I swear I never wanted to kill her. Sure, I wanted to ask her why there was a war since you refused to tell us, but I didn\'t mean to," Theo rambled as he looked at his furious Alpha. He had done something that no one would ever forget.

He had cursed the entire pack to a fate worse than death. Now they would never know why the Greysons truly attacked them and the Greysons would come for them full throttle the next time. It was a reality that was hitting Jer a little too fast.

He was losing desperately.

He wanted to win. He had intended to win when he came here. He had intended for his people to go home victorious, for his woman to be safe from every threat, and for his people to look at him as someone worthy of leading them.

And now the only thing Jeremiah Warner had was shame and guilt, not to mention immeasurable anger for things he couldn\'t control. He should have known that he wasn\'t the only one the Seven had in the field, but as it was, he was already fucked.

"Sorry? That\'s all you got? Do you even know what you have done? You have condemned the entire pack to a cruel fate!!! You have made us the direct target of an unintended war!! We were supposed to win and make a truce.

"We were supposed to… To get this as a chance to redeem our home, our people, and my Luna and you just condemned all of us to whatever fate there is in the hands of the Seven!!" Jer said angrily and he went down on his knees.

He couldn\'t believe that this had happened.

He had failed and Razia would be coming for Malika.

Theo looked at his Alpha shocked at the declaration. It was like the Alpha was claiming they could all lose their lives, as long as the luna was alive. It made the enforcer ask so many questions internally, that they weren\'t any good for Jeremiah.

He was curious, and expectedly, the enforcer wanted answers, but he couldn\'t get himself to ask them because then it would be seen as a sign of disrespect. Honestly, the man who had led them into war didn\'t deserve their respect.

This man had pulled them down as much as he could and yet he was here playing forlorn saint? This wasn\'t acceptable on any front, and unlike Theo who was scared to speak up, Kane wasn\'t.

"Don\'t you think you\'re overreacting, ALPHA? We went to war. Shit happens in war. They knew what they were getting into coming against us, and we knew what we were getting into, following you into war.

"They started the war… So why do you make it sound like we should have let them trample over our people? The way I see it, if Rukiya Greyson is dead, then that\'s good for us. She came to war and she died on the battlefield.

"Stop making it sound like we are expendable after the stint you just pulled. If anything, you should be explaining what the fuck just happened and why we came to war barely a day after the attacks.

"Hell, our dead are not even cold enough in the ground yet, or did you forget that? The bitch gave us three whole days. Three fucking days and yet here we are. What the fuck were you hoping for, huh?" Elodie asked angrily as she pushed Jer\'s chest.

She was done staying on the sidelines. She didn\'t care what the fuck Jer was doing for his Malika or who he was to sacrifice, but if Jeremiah Warner was to take the Sicario army with him, he needed to step up like a real Alpha and stop being bitch about everything.

Maybe he was right for this, but there was no way he was that pissed off because of one dead woman. Their people were dead and they had lost scores, but the Alpha wasn\'t even worried about that.

That was absolute bullshit and if it wasn\'t that the man was their Alpha, Elodie could have challenged him. But then there were more things for them to attain.

"I am the Alpha, Kane. watch your mouth," Jer warned and Elodie snickered angrily. This Alpha was a piece of work, if not a piece of shit for all that had happened, and he was still pressing on. Perhaps he couldn\'t see the dead bodies in the field, no?

Perhaps he couldn\'t see the Greyson warriors and their smirks in the dark despite them having werewolf sight, yeah? Or maybe Jer was just a selfish man who cared only for his Malika and just that.

Oh, how Elodie wanted to put him in his place, but then that would mean ruining Malika\'s mission, and that in itself would be the cause of her very own death, that too in the hands of the woman she loved.

"MY Alpha? Do you even know what that means?" Elodie asked as she stared at the mess they had been left in.

"You know what Alphas do, Jer? They step up. Alphas know when to pull back. Alphas don\'t go to war with ulterior motives. Alphas know what the price for war is and Alphas, like you would want to call yourself, don\'t sway their warriors with magic just so they can support them.

"You are no Alpha, Warner. Perhaps you want to re-evaluate yourself and start thinking like an Alpha because otherwise, I will be the one to challenge you, and I know I will win.

"Careful what you ask for Warner, the universe might just grant it to you," Elodie warned before she walked away from Jer, and started looking for survivors. That was the only thing she could do at the moment because otherwise, she would be like Jeremiah Warner tonight.

"Theo, let\'s check for survivors," Kane said.
