DARIUS POV

Two days later, I opened my eyes in Jethro’s cell. He was still holding me hostage just like he promised. Jethro was a man of his words, it’s just sometimes he can’t handle any of his words alone not to talk of the repercussions.

He did just as I wanted. Keep me hostage, call out his informants in my pack, and let them rejoice, thinking they’ve finally gotten a hold of me.

I took a deep breath as I placed my back against the wall. My hand went to where I was shot and I could only feel a bit of pain right there. I wasn’t shot with a gun, it was a fucking tranquilizer,

I wasn’t surprised at this. He wouldn’t kill off Darius Darkwood like that when he could brag about it to his other Rogue Kings. Maybe that’ll increase his rank among his peers or give him that prestige he wanted. I walked into his territory knowing fully well he wouldn’t get rid of me like an ant. I was far too important.

The door was suddenly thrown open. It was one of Jethro’s stupid men.

“You’ve been summoned,” The man announced. He was standing at a reasonable distance away from me. I wasn’t chained to anything or even handcuffed.

“By who

He swallowed hard. “By King Jethro,

1 scoffed, “King, my foot,” then turned to him. “Lead the fucking way,

“Yes, Alpha”

We got to Jethro’s throne room and the large door was opened. He’d made for himself a palace on that land. I could see a few slaves and servants in the room.

The slaves were naked, chained to the wall, and had hungry looks on their faces. They were tired, beaten, and weak. You could see the wounds on their dry skins and you could count the bones that lined their bodies from how skinny they were.

I believe they were mostly humans and the rest were Omegas. People missing from their homes. Unknown to their families, they were been used as sex slaves in Jethro’s kingdom.

“Stop staring, Alpha Darius, you’ll bore a hole in their bodies,”

A voice piqued. I lifted my head to see one of my elders grinning widely as he took another look at me. To his right, was one more from the pack. Right behind me was another who held a high rank among the warriors in my pack.

He came to my front and handcuffed me.

“Thank you for doing this,” I lifted the handcuffed hand to his face. “I was this close to tearing your heads off your neck,” he lifted his eyebrow,

“But you can’t. Presently, you’re the most useless Alpha in the world,” he spat.

I smirked. “Of course I am and it’s all thanks to each one of you who had a role to play in helping Jethro capture me,”

“We did nothing. It was all Ryker,

I bet Ryker promised you a position in his kingdom.”

“Ryker? Ryker is a killer. No one takes him for his word but Jethro is a man of his word,”

I rided frantically. Don’t we all know that?”

Im glad you know me for my benevolence, Alpha Darius, Jethro joined us in his throne room, shirtless. Half of his dick was out of his trousers. I had to look away from the disgusting sight.

“Now, you’re my captive. Or should I say, my slave?”

Im guessing these are my people who work for you,”

He picked a slice of meat from the plate of food in front of him and threw it at the chained slave. With the restrictions on their leg, they ran to the meat and began fighting for it.

“Are you surprised?”

More like disgusted at them. They’re willing to sell their pack’s information for worldly possessions from a psychopath like

your

He laughed I thought we already agreed you were the psychopath,”

I knew Jethro far longer than I knew my ex–wife. He’d given his father a problem when he heard he wouldn’t become the Alpha of that pack. He’d always seen me as his competition.

And I brought another psychopath to join me today. He’s actually the mastermind behind the entire kidnapping of yours and he should be here to witness your mate’s arrival as well as her death,

I nodded

“Let’s have it

The door was opened and a new person joined the entourage of crazy people in the room.

It was Ryker and I wasn’t surprised a bit.

“Viecome to my kingdom, Alpha Ryker, Jethro walked towards him with his arms wide open but Ryker on the other hand walked away almost making Jethro fall.

“Shove your dick into your pants,

Ryker demanded with disgust on his face.

“Ooh, I almost forgot

Jethro added.

“What are the Ryker asked, pointing at the people chained to the floor.

His sex slaves, I guess, I answered. “You should have yours too,

“Yes, 1 do but they’re not like this,

“Kad for you then, it seemed pretty fun

“So, who’s with the key? Hyker suddenly asked

jetivo resed an eyénow. “What key?”

I lifted my handcuffed hand for Jethro to see. “The key to this. Check with the bald one,”

Ryker walked towards the man who willingly without an argument dropped the key for Ryker. He walked back towards me and unlocked the handcuffs around my hands.

“Where are the text? Lasked. He stared at me, then smirked.

Doing exactly what you wanted,”

Right at that moment, a loud noise could be heard from outside the room. Then screams filled the air and the door to the palace was thrown open and there, they walked in. The people shared life, blood and death with.

Alpha Lance, Alpha Summy, and Alpha Reign made their presence known.

All three of them including Ryker and me belonged to a family called The Bloodmoon Covenant. We were trained by a group of Alphas known as the APEX. They didn’t own packs like other alphas but they trained us as the next generation of Alphas. All five of us were selected for different reasons.

The family had rules for protecting each other and one of them was to invade any pack that held any one of us hostages no matter the circumstances and these rules were sworn to by blood.

As much as Ryker and I hated each other ever since we met, even if he was held hostage, I have no choice but to help him.

“Jethro, one thing you should understand is, even if Ryker is a rogue like you, he’s got dues to pay and this is one,”

“What are you talking about? Ryker? Do something” Jethro begged.

Tm going to release all these people,” I turned to the Alphas. “Let’s clean up before I’m done breaking all these chains,”

“Alpha Darius,” one of my elders called. I turned to him and smirked. “I’ll be sure to not let your families know of how died or how cowardly you are. That’s my only promise to you,”

I explained.

After beating the hell out of one of Jethro’s men, he told me where the keys to the chains used for the slaves were. By the time I returned to the throne room, dead bodies littered the floor and I made sure it was including that of Jethro and my elders.

I released the men and the women from captivity and made sure to put them on a bus leading out of Jethro’s territory.

Alpha Lance gave me a lighter once I walked back towards the buildings. I lit it and threw it to the floor. Right in front of our eyes, I watched the buildings burn down into ashes, the smoke reaching to heavens.

One of my problems had been resolved. Now, Angela and Reina can be safe, and a lot of other women as well.

“It’s good seeing y’all pathetic faces again,” Lance muttered,

Reign snickered. “As if you didn’t miss us,”

“This is the last time I’ll be helping any of you,” Ryker added.

“So you said the last time. See you soon and stay out of trouble boys. I kill enough people in my own lane each year, stop fucking adding to the number,” Lance grunted and walked away to the car waiting for him. So did, Reign and Sunny.

Sunny wasn’t much of a talker, I’d only heard the fucker’s voice twice and that was it. He’d rather make his actions known than his voice heard.

Reign once said Sunny was too traumatized by his mother to remember to speak.

rd joined the family a bit later than others but still, it made no difference. The first day I joined was the first day Ryker decided he hated me.

After we took back your father’s pack, you should’ve stopped there and become the Alpha you are destined to be,”

“One thing I hate the most is prim and proper motherfucking Alphas like you. A rogue is who I am. It’s my fucking identity,”

“I don’t want to see your face again for the rest of my life. We weren’t supposed to meet unless it was an emergency. You broke the rule of the family by showing up at my gates,” I said.

“Rules are fucking meant to be broken and I’ll never feel bad for breaking one. I still want my land,

“Keep dreaming, Ryker. You won’t get it,”

“We aren’t supposed to spill the blood of our own but yours is asking to be spilled,”

My face a few inches away from his, I answered. “I’m not scared of you, Ryker. If you lift a blade against me, I’ll raise an army against you,”

“You’ll regret your words soon enough, I promise you,”
