Alpha Dominic

Still Dominic's POV

“Are you f+**g insane?

Look, Dom, I know I said I was going to help, trust me I really want to help you in any way I can because this war is affecting my city more than I care to admit. But I'm not following you on a suicide mission. If you have a death wish, then I'm more than happy to help you fulfill that wish by putting a bullet through your f*****g brains. Don't worry your pretty head, I'l make sure itis laced with wolfsbane.” Lorenzo let out angrily, banging his fist on the table in anger, his eyes glaring furiously at me.

I just told them about my plans and so far nobody is buying my idea at all. 'm trying to convince them that the best way to outsmart king Ashford is to do something drastic, something entirely different. What I'm trying to say is that we need to do something that king Ashford doesn't expect, something he would never have predicted. I've thought about it carefully, I've weighed the pros and cons, and the only thing I can think of is to give him exactly what he wants. I know it sounds stupid, but it's going to work, I mean, it has to work because this is all I can come up with given the situation of things.

“Look man, I know how stupid it sounds, but it's going to work, I promise." I lied, trying to keep a straight face, but Lorenzo wasn't buying it.

“It's either you are daft, or there is something terribly wrong with your head. I mean, did you fall and hit your head or something?

How can you suggest that we surrender ourselves to king Ashford, what the hell is wrong with you?" he yelled furiously, pulling his hand through his hair in annoyance. I think he is being over dramatic here, he is making it look like my suggestio is ridiculous, he fails to realize that this is the only possible solution here, there is absolutely nothing else that we can do that king Ashford hasn't anticipated already. He knows what I plan to do even before I do it, he must be waiting for me to gather my boys and come over for war. He must have set measures in place to ensure that I don't make it to the battleground. The information I'm getting from my guys on the street is totally different from what Declan told me a few hours ago. He hides his tracks pretty well, to everyone around, it seems like he circled back and went to his bunker on a remote island, south of this city. But that is a complete lie because Declan already told us that he is back home at the Lycan palace and he came back home with Bethany.

I'm guessing that he wants to use that island as the battlefield, he wants me to go charging over there like a mindless bull, he has no idea that I have an ally in the lycan palace, he knows that he has gotten rid of all my allies, he knows that there is no way for me to know about his movement and plans, that is why he has always been one step ahead of me always. But now that I have Declan by my side, I can try and outsmart him just this once and we how it goes. This could be my only chance, this could be the big break that I've been looking for, I can't let this opportunity pass me this time, I can't let him pu the strings on me anymore.

“This is the only chance we are going to get, Lorenzo. It's either we outsmart him and take him out this time, or we are certainly going to regret it. Declan is ready to make a move on his father, but he can't do it on his own. We can save Bethany and take out king Ashford once and for all. He wants us to go to that island and search for him, but we can counter that move and go directly to the lycan palace. I know that building like the back of my hand, we can don't Lorenzo, we just need to get into that palace first, and the only way for us to get into that palace in one piece.

You just have to trust me, Lorenzo, this is the one move that he would never expect, he knows how much I detest him, he knows I would never surrender to anyone for any reason whatsoever. He won't kill us, I promise. He has a flair for theatrics. He would want to see me suffer, I'm sure he would keep us alive until he takes over the city and kills all the werewolf that is alive on this planet. Declan will get us out of whatever dungeon we are being held in the lycan palace, then we attack him right there in the lycan palace before he calls for backup. This is the perfect chance to get him, he had redirected all his warriors and allies to the island to set an ambush for us. Before he could rally his boys and bring them down to his palace, we would have taken our all his boys in the palace, and then it would be our turn to set an ambush for Ashfords boys. I neec you on board man, not just you, I need you all on board” I told Carl and Harriet.

“Wait, you want us to surrender ourselves as well?”

“Why the f**k would you suggest that, I mean, if we are all locked up in the lycan palace, how the hell are we going to break out, who would command your warriors, and who would lead them to the lycan palace for a rescue mission?" Harriet asked in surprise.

“Look, man. I'm not saying that I love your plan, Dom. I don't buy this idea of surrendering yourself to king Ashford, but if yo did surrender yourself to king Ashford, won't you need an extraction team to come over there and help you get out on time before the warriors surround the place?

Let's face the fact, Dom, you need us out here, you need us to get all your warriors and allies together so we can storm our way into the lycan palace and save you” Carl let out also, making Lorenzo sigh in frustration.

“What the hell is wrong with all of you people?

You act like you are a cat with nine lives, you act like you are unstoppable or something. You can't dip your hand into the fir and not expect to get burned. There is absolutely no way this is going to work out in our favor and you know it. Look here Dom, I don't know why you are doing this, I'm guessing it's because you are trying to get your woman back. But I'm not going to be a part of this suicide mission, I won't let you drag me into this mindless vendetta of yours. I only agreed to join forces with you because I thought that you are a smart man and I was hoping that we would put our heads together and come up with the perfect solution to this stupid war. I did not sign up for a death mission. I'm not doing it, man, I'm not letting you dc it either!” Lorenzo let out furiously, glaring furiously at me. The guy is just being paranoid for nothing. I guess he still doesn't know that he has no choice here, I've made up my mind to go on with this plan and there is absolutely that be can do about it.

“There will be no need for that, Carl. That is the whole point of this mission. I don't want him to think that I am planning to break free or anything, I can't let him think that this is some kind of a prank or game. I want him to think that I've given up on this war, he has to believe my story. I know king Ashford, he would find out if I'm pranking him or not, he knows me that we'll. If I show up at his doorstep all alone, he would know that something is up and he would kill me on the spot for trying to blackmail him. This is not one of his games anymore, it's now my game, mine. And now I'm going to make him play my game. I won't let him win, not now, not ever. The best part of this is that he has no idea that the game has changed, he will be surprised and disoriented, and that will be our advantage. Look, guys, I know it's a difficult thing to ask, but I really need you guys on board. We are going to end this war faster than I ever imagine. I am confident that this is the right play, this is the only play. It's time to outsmart that demon that has a crown on his head and calls himself a king. Prepare the guys and tell Fred to come up with a communication device that cannot be detected by Ashford's scanners.

I need one guy in the woods, I need him to hide our weapons In the woods until I find to send a signal across to him. Get down to the warehouse and get all the weapons ready, if it makes you feel better, you can call Dwayne and tell him to send reinforcements in two days. But we leave tonight Carl, we leave with no weapons or armory. By this time tomorrow, we will be at the mercy of King Ashford, but that is not the end of it, it is only the beginning” I let out firmly, trying not to think too much about this stupid decision of mine before I would be forced to change my mind. This is the worst decision I've ever ha to make, I'm not really sure about all this, but I know that I have to do something unexpected, I have to outsmart this guy. “Please Lorenzo, I need you on board on this,”
