Chapter 98

Julian's POV

" I'm sorry it had to be this way. I have always been loyal to you. And I still am. Just know, as I act, I am doing this for both of us."

I had managed to tie Xavier up with ropes dunked in Wolf's bane. It was the only way to stop him from getting in my way.

He grunted and howled in pain as his flesh burned.

" Untie me right now! Stop this madness. You can't do that."

That ticked me off.

" I can and I will! This should be what both of us should be doing together, but you have somehow developed a soft spot for enemies lately. Everything is breaking down because you are letting it. You should have been the one leading this, but you chose to let things go. Well I won't. I am going to destroy everything that woman holds dear to her. I'll make her feel pain worth all those years we had to stay alive and watch everything disappear in front of our eyes. It's time to finish this once and for all. "

I panted after letting it all out. I sighed and turned my back on him before the sight of him weakened my resolve.

" I won't force you to do anything you do not wish to. I don't have the power to do that. All I ask is for you to stay put. If luck is on my side, I will see you again. Fare well my Alpha."

With that, I left the dungeon. I held him captive without looking back. This broke my heart. Our bond may as well have been shattered the moment I went against him. He will just have to forgive him. I understand him very well. I do. It must be hard on him and that is why I won't force him to make any decision regarding this matter. I will handle it and face the consequences of it by myself.

" Did you have to go that far, Julian? You know that there is no coming back from this, don't you?"

I scoffed at her.

" I don't have time for your stupid questions, Sandra. Just stick to doing your job. We leave before sunset. Make sure that everything is ready."

With that, I left her standing. I didn't need her stating the obvious. This decision of mine is not just an act of his. I have thought about this a million times and over and I could come to this conclusion. There is no other way. There really is no coming back from this. Not after what I did to Xavier. I know he will never forgive me for this. But I am prepared for that.

My Intel told me that tonight, the Blue Moon pack will be having a Luna Celebration for Brielle, as she calls herself now. For her sake, I hope she really has a good time at that celebration because it's going to be the last celebration of her life.

The plan is simple. I gathered a number of the pack members, and we were going to attack the Blue pack to kill its Alpha and Luna. Only with their blood on their hands will this hate that is consuming me finally be dispelled. I will settle for nothing less, even if I have to die in the process.

I went back to my house to prepare. I changed from my normal clothes to full black clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror. The old me has been long gone. What was reflected in the mirror was an old empty shell. Nothing but darkness was there. My eyes were sunken, and my skin was pale. My chest hurt from coughing out blood. I didn't know that it could happen to immortals, but it's happening.

I've been unable to sleep for a long time. I just stopped trying. There was no use sleeping anyway.

I had people keeping me updated on the Blue Moon pack. With this celebration, it will be a little bit easier for us to get through their security. I will get Amaya and make her watch and kill her lover again as well as everyone she cares for. She will be saved just so I can watch her beg me to die. I want her to admit her defeat and beg for me to kill her.

She shouldn't have come back. She should just have stayed dead. She would have spared herself a lot of heartache. Now we have to go through this tragedy once more. But this time, it will be for good.

Once I was ready, I took a look around my room before I headed out. Who knows? This might be the last time I'll be here. I stood outside and stared at the pack house. It's the first time I will have to fight without Xavier. I wish he could have been with me. I would be much assured of our victory. But it can't be helped. I'm on my own this time. It is what it is. And now, It's time for revenge.
