Victor made his way into the Blood Moon pack, to the surprise of the pack members, who still hadn't gotten over the news of a new Alpha.
'I see you made it." His voice got the attention of Liam who stilled for a few seconds and continued his actions like he didn't just hear his father talk.
'Liam, your dad." Kia had paused completely shaken out of fear.
'If you want to be my Beta, you would have to get over this fear," Liam said in response and turned to face his father.
'To what do I owe this visit, Alpha Victor?"
'Interesting." Alpha Victor nodded, his hair as ruffled as he looked around.
'All right, guys…" A loud clatter was heard.
Olivia, who had a tray of snacks with her, dropped it immediately after she saw the standing Alpha in the room.
'Hello Olivia?" He waved and stepped forward but Liam was by her side in seconds.
'You won't touch her." He bared his teeth to Victor.
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, he shrugged and made himself feel at home. Sitting comfortably on the couch, he looked up at Olivia whose head was aching bad at the sight of Victor but still had her head bowed to the floor.
'Is this how you treat me after saving you?" He tilted his head, but Olivia still had her head bowed and her mouth shut.
She didn't offer a word. Sucking his teeth, he turned towards his son, who glared at him with intense emotions, not that he cared, though.
'Congratulations Son. I didn't expect this."
'I don't need your congratulations and I am not your son." Liam gave a signal, and the rest left the room to him and Victor, who stared at him like he would pounce on him at any moment.
Instead of doing anything drastic, Alpha Victor just started laughing, looking at the high-end ceiling.
'As expected of my blood." He stood up under the watchful eyes of Liam who was ready to battle it out with him till death.
'I knew you cheated your way in here."
'None of your business." Liam's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
'I had this on my agenda all along, though, so getting here faster still falls into my plan." He let his index finger wipe off the dusty shelf in the room.
'I won't retaliate son. Lead the pack, and enjoy the experience as much as you can because soon enough, you will join me at the Rogue pack, and together, we will unite the three packs and make them one." Alpha Victor smirked, looking at Liam, whose lips were sealed no matter how much he tried to produce words.
Walking towards his son, Alpha Victor made to pat his shoulder, but Liam was faster; he teleported to the end of the room.
'I am not your son and I will never be your son." He declared, his face was puffed up with anger.
'Childish." Alpha Victor scoffed.
'I will see you in a few years son. Get yourself equipped." Alpha Victor looked at him one more time before disappearing into thin air as usual.

'Diana?" Jennifer called in a low voice.
'Mum?" Diana responded, instantly on the bed with her.
'Can you promise me one thing?" She turned to look at her young daughter, whose eyes were teary.
Diana nodded eagerly, holding her mother's hand even more. She had been locked out when her siblings were in, they wanted to avoid her presence in the room, according to them, she would contaminate their abilities as she was the weakest amongst them.
'When I am gone, make sure you strive to take over the pack in my absence okay?" She peered into Diana's eyes forcing her to nod in response even though she didn't exactly understand why she was nodding.
'Become the Luna of the pack in the future no matter what happens. That should be your goal." Jennifer drilled into Diana's ears, and she nodded again, with more understanding; the pendant on her neck dangled with her.
'What is going on here?" Alpha Victor walked in with his hands in his pockets, thankfully he wasn't smoking this time and had his body fully covered.
Jennifer struggled to sit up, the ache in her head and heart multiplied but she didn't care. She didn't want to be perceived as weak by her heartless mate.
'What have you done Victor?" She asked, her voice was coarse.
'What's with everyone pushing the blame on me today?" He asked playfully as he sat, his hands still in his pocket as his legs crossed themselves.
'You…" Jennifer's voice went high before she made herself calm down.
'You really violated my father's pack by making your illegitimate son the Alpha?" She smiled but tears left her eyes instead.
'Not exactly so my Luna." He replied playfully, his tongue poked against his left cheek and his eyes screamed ‘boring'.
'Right after your threats, you went on to make him the Alpha." She continued, her body turned rigid.
'What do you think my father would say? HOW DO YOU THINK MY FATHER WOULD FEEL?" She shouted, and her nose began to bleed instantly, but she ignored it.
'If I am not wrong, your father should feel happy that someone competent took over his pack. Isn't it?" He smiled at Jennifer who didn't smile back.
'Leave us, Diana," Jennifer ordered her frightened daughter but still had her eyes on Victor.
'Why? Is she so weak that she can't bear what you are about to say?" He taunted but Jennifer was having any of it.
'Leave, Baby; I will call you back in." She finally looked into her terrified daughter's eyes and she nodded at her before walking out of the room.
'I have always had this question in my head Victor." The blood dropped into her mouth and she licked it away.
'Shoot." Victor smiled.
'Did you kill him?" She tried her best not to break down after asking the question. She had her eyes closed not to see his face.
'Who?" Victor asked after four minutes of silence.
Diana opened her eyes to see his playful facial expression.
'What? How would I know who you are asking about when there are a lot of ‘he' I have killed in my life."
Jennifer expelled breath from her lips, her father's sad face popped up in her head but she vowed to be strong till the end.
'Did you kill him? My dad, did you…kill…him?" Her voice broke; she was afraid he would say yes, but he chucked. He fuckin' chuckled!
'Why would I kill him?" He asked Jennifer, his brows were raised.
Jennifer released a sigh of relief but she held it back when he said, 'Why would I kill him when he already lost his will to live?"
'What do you mean?" Her eyes were wide with fear, her heart did not stop thumping.
'I told him to step down, or else I would make him do it, but guess what your pathetic father did?" Victor stood up and came to the bed.
The side he sat on sank from his weight; his eyes on Jennifer were mocking.
'What did he do?" Jennifer's eagerness amused him.
'Tsk. That's no way to guess but I will tell you anyway." He leaned in.
'He bit his tongue and died. Too much for being proud…"
Jennifer's scream didn't let him continue but before he could say anything else, he saw her convulse, her mouth left open with blood gushing out of her mouth before she finally stilled.
'Really?" He looked at her now corpse and shook his head.
'Pathetic."
