“Whatever Happens To You Is Planned By Me Cause, I'm The MASTERMIND....”

― Muhammad Imran Hasan

QUILLON P.O.V

“Rick?” Nevin asked shocked and I nodded with a growl. “The very same one who works for Konrad?”

“Worked. They have split” Harvey said.

“Why?” I questioned with a frown.

“After Jared’s death” he answered. Really? This got to be interesting!

“We still don’t know who killed Jared, do we?” Ram asked and I shook my head. Jared, another one of Konrad’s aid, whose weakness was sloth, was killed in June this year. His body was found in a desolate road, and I doubt he was killed there because his car wasn’t there in that road. In fact, it was parked in a public parking space. Hence, I think someone killed him and threw his body on that desolate road.

“So you think Rick is going to come to kill Darya?” Harvey queried.

“I don’t think. I know it. Rick is a very greedy person and like you said, fifty million is a lot of money” I reasoned. “He is definitely going to come” I predicted with a feral growl.

“What are we going to do?” Ram questioned.

“Kill him, what else?” Nevin said and I nodded.

That night, it was Quinn’s turn to cook and when he was done, he called me through the link. Darya, was already in the kitchen laughing at, I am sure, some stupid joke that Quinn cracked. Neither I nor my wolf, appreciated it.

While I took my seat opposite to her, I glared at her and she blinked looking startled. Quinn served and kept a chicken stew in a bowl for all of us. I didn’t even have to taste it to know that the salt proportion was less.

Leaning forward, I picked the salt and sprinkled it on my stew. “Pass me the salt” Darya said and I gave it to her. “How did you even know it had low proportion of salt?” she questioned. At her innocent question, Quinn paused and looked at me, waiting for my reaction.

“I didn’t” I lied and Quinn’s eyes widened. While my gaze clashed against his, he stared at me for a long time, before sighing and looking away.

“Pass me the salt” he asked Darya, who did it with a sincere smile. I scowled when I saw that. She is all smiles even for Quinn!

The next morning, I had already had breakfast before Darya came downstairs. I frowned when I saw her dressed, and with a bag. She was about to go to her college.

“I think I warned you not to go out” I stated while she dropped her bag on the floor and sat on the stool.

“I am not going to miss today’s class” she said with a frown. “I have a presentation today on organic farming and I am going to lose thirty marks if I miss it.”

“I don’t care” I snapped and Quinn joined us the same moment. “You are not going anywhere.”

Darya snarled and I narrowed my eyes, while my wolf bristled. “Watch me” she challenged. My wolf snapped his jaws, when he heard that. How dare she defy my orders?

Immediately my claws and fangs were out and placing my hands on the counter, I leaned forward to dominate her. Darya inhaled sharply and drawing her head back, looked at me, with eyes as wide as saucers.

“Q” Quinn called when he saw what I was about to do. Turning my head, I glared at him, but he had already lowered his head, to avoid my gaze.

Focusing my attention on Darya, I growled and she swallowed audibly. I swear I could hear Darya’s heart pounding in her chest.

‘What are you doing? Exposing yourself like that’ Q snapped in my head. ‘You are scaring your mate’ he shouted and that last sentence caught my attention because immediately my wolf retreated and I blinked when I saw sweat coating the corner of Darya’s forehead. Standing straight, I closed my eyes and shook my head.

While I looked up at Darya, I found her gaping at me in perplexity.

“Darya-” I tried to keep my voice as gentle as possible because I didn’t want to scare her.

“Okay… okay, I am not going anywhere” Darya said hastily and picking up her bag, she ran upstairs.

“Satisfied?” Quinn barked once the door to her room closed. “I thought you said you would not try it on her” he reminded and I gritted my teeth. I know… I said I wouldn’t try to dominate her, but every time she doesn’t listen to me, my wolf gets furious and he immediately takes over.

“You scared her” he growled while I was running a hand through my hair. Why is he so bothered what I do with her?

“She is my mate” I launched furiously and Quinn rolled his eyes.

“I know that, but I think you keep forgetting it” Quinn snapped and picking up his bag, he walked out without having his breakfast.

Clenching my fist, I growled savagely. I wanted to punch someone… actually myself. Closing my eyes, I took deep breaths, but when that didn’t help, I went to the gym room.

I kept venting out my frustration at the punching bag. Every time I thought about the shocked look in Darya’s face, especially the sweat on the corner of her forehead, I felt angrier and then I would keep punching again and again. I hated myself for doing that to her.

My friends were in the gym using other equipment’s. They all stared at me, but all were wise enough to keep distance with me for the moment.

Jumping high, I kicked the punching bag hard, before walking away to wash myself.

“Q” Nevin called and I looked at him questioningly. “A team has just begun patrolling around the territory. If Rick is spotted, then we will be informed” he added.

Nodding, I went upstairs. Before going to my room, I paused and looked at Darya’s room. Should I apologize?

Pursing my lips, I made my way towards her room to check on her. However, I frowned when I couldn’t catch her scent. I knocked twice before growling and kicking open the door.

She wasn’t in the room and neither was her bag. I saw a note stuck on the mirror and I gritted my teeth as I read the words, ’30 MARKS IS PRECIOUS TO ME’

Clenching my fists, I snarled loudly when all of a sudden, Isaac, the chief of guards, contacted me through the link and said, ‘We just saw the Luna crossing the territory.’

That. Crazy. Female.

Spitting a string of curses, I went downstairs and called for Nevin and my other friends. “We are going to Emperor” I said already making my way towards the garage.

“What?” Harvey asked confused.

“Darya ran” I spat furiously.

What was the female even thinking? No. She wasn’t thinking at all! How can she be so careless? How did she escape from me?

I was so into punching the bag that I didn’t pay any attention to my surroundings. Holding the steering wheel, in a tight grip, I started driving towards Emperor Pack.

Midway, I picked up my phone and called Duncan, “Your sister is mad” I hissed as soon as Duncan picked up the phone.

“Relax. Darya already informed me she is coming for some test and now her guards are with her” Duncan said with a growl and I frowned. Is that supposed to make me feel better? If yes, then it didn’t.

“I am going to take her home” I barked out.

“You can try” Duncan said and I grinded my teeth. “But I think by the time you reach her college, her test will be over.”

“Have you heard anything about Rick Carlson?” I demanded.

“I know who he is” Duncan replied tersely.

“He is a greedy bastard and he is coming after my mate” I launched. “If anything happens to my mate, while she is in your pack Rhoades, then I am going to slaughter you” I avowed before hanging up on him.

The Emperor Pack guards didn’t stop me. I assumed Duncan asked them not to. Once, I was there, I drove towards Darya’s college, with my pack wolves, following me in SUV.

It was around twelve in the afternoon when I reached her college, which was opposite to a Federal Court.  Her college was in city, that too in a busy street. Throughout the journey, I was relieved to see that I didn’t feel any sort of pain, which only meant Darya was fine.

The Emperor Pack wolves, mostly her guards, were in and around her college. They frowned when they saw us, but didn’t come in our way. ‘Lose yourself in the crowd. If you see Rick, inform me first’ I commanded my friends and they did as told.

I took a deep breath and frowned when I couldn’t find Darya’s scent in the college building. Just where the hell is she? When I called her, she didn’t answer it and I furrowed my brows. My whole body was tensed and I felt cold all of a sudden.

Where is she?

I noticed her guard Nick, who woke up all of a sudden and walked towards the college building. Another went towards the college canteen, while the other two went towards the other blocks in the campus.

Just when I was about to go searching for her, Ram spoke in my mind, ‘I think I saw Rick’ his voice was a whisper.

Clenching my fists, I growled loudly which caused the people around me to jump back in fear. ‘You think?’ I demanded through gritted teeth.

There was complete silence for two minutes, before Ram said, ‘No. I see him.’ Satisfied with that answer, I demanded to know where he was, while already making my way towards the college gate. There were humans around and hence I had to run like them.

‘He is going to… courthouse?’ I frowned as I heard Ram’s reply. Why the fuck would someone like Rick go to courthouse?

‘Q’ Ram gasped while I was about to cross the road.

‘What?’ I demanded in exasperation.

‘He is following Darya.’ Suppressing a feral growl, I quickly crossed the road and went into the courthouse. Ram was already near the gate and when he saw me, he walked beside me.

“Three o’clock” he said pointing to his right, which led to magistrate’s office. Dimly, I recalled Darya saying something about having to take sign of the magistrate, for the papers of her farm, which was soon going to be a government undertaking. “He is waiting for her to come out” Ram said and then, I finally saw Rick Carlson.

He was in the parking area, sitting inside a white SUV, smoking as well as impatiently drumming the steering wheel. As I took a deep breath, I couldn’t take in his scent. “Moon flower” I pronounced. He really thought he could hide himself like that?

“It’s a good thing because that way, he too wouldn’t be able to catch our scent” Ram murmured and I nodded, already making my way towards the parking area. It was good because Rick wouldn’t be able to catch our scent, but bad because my wolf too was lured by the scent and I couldn’t mind link with my pack wolves. “Q, the cops are here” Ram reminded and sure enough, there were many of those uniform guys.

“Stay here. In the meantime, I want you text Nevin and ask him to inform Darya’s guards that we are taking this rogue to Serene” I directed, expecting the message to reach Duncan ASAP, so that he wouldn’t stop us. I am going to take Rick to my pack and torture him there.

Placing my phone next to my ears, I lowered my head and pretended to be talking in it. While doing so, I lowered my head and walked past Rick’s SUV. The rogue didn’t even notice me walking past him. Stopping in my tracks, I stepped back and said, “Sir, can you please-” the moment Rick turned his head, to look at me, I punched his face. While his head flew back, I pressed a nerve on his neck, which immediately put him to sleep. When I was sure, no one saw me doing it; I pushed Rick towards the passenger seat and climbed into the SUV.

After that, I drove the car towards the main road, where my pack members were already waiting for me. I climbed out and Nevin took my seat, while Ram and Clay climbed in the backseat. “I want him in the prison cell before I reach Serene. If he wakes up, you know what to do” I stated to Clay, who was the chief of the prison guards. He replied with a yes.

I will deal with that fucker later!

When they drove off, I went back to the court building where Darya was already coming out. The moment she saw me, she froze. She tried to smile, but when she saw my glare, her smile faltered. While I stopped a foot away from her, she shot me a guilty look. “I hope you got your 30 marks” I said and she flushed, before nodding. “Good. Let’s go.” I turned and walked ahead, expecting her to follow me.

We drove in silence. I was seething in my seat, while Darya was nervously glancing at me every now and then. When I found her opening her mouth to speak, “Don’t” I said in a lethal tone.

She gaped at me for a second or two, before closing her mouth and growling, “I am not sorry for running” she hissed and I whirled my head and shot her a furious look of condemnation. Only she would say that.

“You could have been killed” I spat in rage.

“By whom?” she asked cocking an eyebrow.

“There was a rogue following you” I said and Darya chest rumbled with a growl.

“Who was it?” she demanded and I frowned at her. “Where is he now?”

“He is where he is supposed to be” I retorted without looking at her.

“Where, is he?” she repeated but I didn’t bother replying her. Huffing, she crossed her arms against her chest and stared at the scenery outside the window.

Once I dropped Darya near our house, I drove towards the pack prison.

Clay was already waiting for me, near the entrance, along with two more prison guards. “He is in Cell Number. 12” Clay said as soon as I stepped into the prison. “We have tied him up. All you have to do is ask questions” Clay added, while we were walking to Rick’s cell.

“Did he wake up during the journey?”

“Once, but we knocked him out” Clay replied.

As I approached Rick’s cell, I could hear him shouting at my pack wolves. Growling, I pushed the cell gate and entered the cell. Walking ahead, I stood facing Rick, whose hands were tied up, to the celling, using manacles. Metal chains, that had electric wire entwined with it, were coiled around his upper half of the body. His dark hair was a mess and he was panting heavily because he had been shocked repeatedly.

“You” Rick hissed the moment he saw me.

“Me?” I questioned cocking an eyebrow.

“You are the Alpha of Serene?” he questioned and I nodded. “What do you want from me?”

“I want nothing” I replied shaking my head.

“Then why am I here?” he snarled and my wolf bared his fangs.

“You are here because you dared to poach into my territory” I declared through gritted teeth. My pack members, who understood the meaning behind the statement, sucked in a breath, while Rick frowned at me.

“Your territory? I was in Emperor Pack” he spat. I didn’t appreciate his acting. “How did you even come to Emperor Pack? The last I heard, your pack were enemies with them” he said frowning at me.

“You need to catch up with news” I said quietly, crossing my arms against my chest. How do I bait him to admit the truth? Rick was about to lunge at me, but he couldn’t reach that far.

“What the fuck do you want from me? I have never killed any Serene Pack wolves” he growled out.

“Maybe you didn’t, but your former gang leader did” I retorted.

“Konrad?” Rick hissed and I nodded. “I don’t work for him.” Nice!

“But you once did” I reminded.

“If you want to know where Konrad is, then I do not have an answer for that” Rick imparted.

“I don’t want to know where he is. I can find him on my own” I said looking Rick in the eye, who laughed. My wolf bristled and I clenched my fists.

“You cannot. You are no match to Konrad” Rick said after sometime and I smirked and shook my head.

That’s the screenplay of this story!

Konrad isn’t aware of what I can do, while I am fully aware of what he can do.

“You sure about that?” I asked cocking an eyebrow, while Rick frowned at me before letting out an aggressive growl.

“You don’t know who I am” Rick spat and I smirked. Bingo! “You are going to regret this. If you let me go now, then I am going to forget this happened and if you don’t-”

“Then you will make sure Konrad comes and hypnotizes my pack wolves to fight against me, right?” I finished while my friends gasped. Color drained from Rick’s face and his eyes were almost about to pop out.

‘What are you saying?’ Nevin asked through the link.

‘Is Rick still working for Konrad?’ Harvey asked at the same time. I decided to reply them later. Right now, I wanted to give all my attention to this filthy mutt.

“I have got to say… wicked plan” I said leaning against the table that had the electric charger. “You pretending to leave Konrad and working on your own. To others you were friends who have now turned into enemies, but actually you and Konrad were never enemies” I stated with a smirk and Rick gulped.

“Tell me, am I right?” I asked with an amused expression.

“Who are you?” Rick’s voice was a whisper now.

“The one who is going to kill Konrad” I replied staring at Rick’s hazel eyes.

“You cannot” Rick growled and I raised my brows. “You will not be able to do it. Konrad is too strong for you. Even if your whole pack attacks, you will not be able to kill him” Rick was shouting and my wolf wanted me to shift and kill this bastard.

“You might have got one thing right, but that is the only thing you are right about.” With that statement, Rick finally confessed about still being friends with Konrad. “But if you are planning to kill him, then it will never happen. I am going to run away from here and none of your pack wolves will be able to stop me.” At that all my friends growled and Rick laughed. “You just wait and watch Quillon Sanders, how I am going to escape from here and how I will return back every day to kill one-one of your wolves. Like I said, you are going to regret this. You have no idea what I can do to-” Rick stopped shouting all of a sudden and then furrowed his brows.

I narrowed my eyes at his expression. Slowly, Rick turned his head, to his left and I followed his gaze. As I inhaled, I caught Darya’s scent and I frowned. What is she doing here?

A sudden silence fell around the prison cell and the only sounds were of Darya’s heels clacking on the floor. I stiffened as I watched her, step into Rick’s cell, staring at the floor. In a very slow motion, Darya raised her head first and then her lashes, to look at Rick. All my friends made way for her to come towards me. But Darya didn’t. Without taking her eyes off Rick, she continued walking until she stopped directly in front of Rick… who was looking at Darya as if he had seen a ghost! Not only did Rick step back in fear, but he also turned an ashen shade beneath his tanned skin.

“What are you doing here, in Serene?” Rick questioned Darya in a barely audible voice and I frowned. Did he not know Darya is my mate? Why would Konrad not tell it to him?

“Darya?” I called and Darya turned to look at me. “What are you doing here?” I asked reprovingly.

“You guys are mates?” Rick asked incredulously and I glared at him, before returning my attention to Darya.

“Well?” I demanded.

“You didn’t tell me so I figured out that the rogue who came to kill me would already be in the prison. Where is he?” she asked pursing her lips.

“Right in front of you” I replied and Darya’s eyes widened.

“H-he is the r-rogue?” she stuttered gaping at Rick, who was double her size. “Oh My God!” Darya muttered and I rolled my eyes. I could easily take Rick down.

“What are you playing at?” Rick barked scowling at Darya. “You know who I am” he spat and I along with my friends, frowned. Darya knows Rick?

“What?” Darya asked in confusion.

Rick frowned and then his eyes widened as if some realization hit him. Growling, he said, “This is a setup” he said and I narrowed my eyes. What is a setup?  “You witch, you set me up. Didn’t you?” Rick barked glaring at Darya and I growled.

“What the fuck did you just call my mate?” I demanded furiously. How dare he call her that? My wolf snapped his jaws and I took a threatening step towards Rick, who was still glaring at Darya.

“You were the one who created that website” Rick snapped at Darya, who narrowed her eyes. I couldn’t take his lies anymore and so, clenching my fists, I punched Rick in the stomach and he groaned in pain.

“Careful” I hissed.

“You were in the plan too weren’t you?” Rick asked and I growled. What plan is this mutt talking about? Has he lost his mind? “You both knew Konrad will come to help me” Rick added.

“Who is Konrad?” Darya demanded with interest and every single head turned to look at her incredulously. I shot her a disbelieving look.

Seriously?

Which world is she living in? Even pups know who Konrad is. He is that famous for his bad deeds.

“This rogue works for him” Nevin answered and Darya nodded in understanding.

“No. You are not in the plan” Rick mumbled staring at me, while also shaking his head as if pitying me. “This witch is the mastermind” he spat glaring at Darya, who raised both her brows. “She is fooling even you” Rick said. Outraged, I punched this nonsense talking mutt in the face.

‘I think he has lost his mind’ Harvey said through the link.

“Switch on the button” I snapped at Harvey, who switched on the button on the electric charger.

“I am out of here” Darya said at the same time and then before I know it, she stepped over the electric wire on the floor.

“Darya” I screamed and holding her wrists, I pulled her towards my chest. My heart thumped wildly in my chest and I watched Darya, who was clutching my shirt in a tight grip and breathing heavily.

I growled maliciously and glared at Harvey, who quickly switched off the button.

“Are you okay?” I asked looking at her. Gulping, Darya looked up and nodded. I sucked in a breath as my eyes clashed with her now, red ones. They were very mesmerizing. They could be menacing as well as caring at the same time. I couldn’t wait to see her wolf. How those eyes looked, while she is in her wolf form.

I thought she must have been electrocuted by the current, however, I didn’t feel any pain.

“I am fine” Darya replied, slowly letting go of my shirt and stepping back. “It is not working” she said staring at the electric charge with a frown.

“What?” I asked.

“It is working” Harvey retorted. “We already shocked the rogue thrice” he added.

“No” Darya said shaking her head. “Try again” she muttered.

Puzzled, Harvey did as told but no current passed through the wire because Rick wasn’t trembling in shock. “See, I told you the charger is not working” Darya stated stepping over the wire again. I did the same and sure enough, no current passed through the wire.

“I know you did that” Rick shouted all of a sudden and I turned to scowl at him. Just what is wrong with this rogue? “Why did you do that? Why did you stop it?” Rick inquired staring at Darya in bewilderment.

I looked at Darya, who just rolled her eyes before saying, “bye” and walking away.

“What do you want?” Rick yelled still staring at Darya, who was slowly walking away. I glared at this mutt. What kind of game is he playing? I know he works for Konrad and I am sure he knew Darya was my mate. However, now he is pretending not to know it and also telling that Darya created that website and put prize money on herself.

Is he insane?

“I really don’t know where Konrad is. He keeps changing houses very often. I have no idea where he is now” Rick kept on saying, while staring at Darya’s retreating figure.

Why is he shouting all this at Darya? Darya doesn’t even know who Konrad is! Who is lying here?

“Tell me what do you want?” Rick screamed jumping, but since his hands were tied, he couldn’t move.

I was about to punch him, when all of a sudden, Darya turned her head to look at Rick. Placing an index finger on her lips she said, “Ssshhhh” in an ominous way. I cocked an eyebrow at her. “I want you to shut your mouth” she said glaring at Rick and slowly her eyes started turning red.

Some of my friends gasped, while others inhaled sharply when they saw her red eyes. Rick… Rick swallowed audibly when he saw her eyes.

“Your voice is hurting my eardrums” Darya whispered maliciously. “I only give one chance to people who hurt me. So, I sincerely hope you understood what I meant” she hissed before marching out of the cell. I as well as my friends watched her with wide eyes.

What. Was. That?

Rick, who was as white as milk, lowered his head and closed his eyes. I hitched my brows as I saw his reaction. Why does he look scared of Darya? Was Darya lying? Is there any hidden message with what Darya just said?

I just found it hard to believe because I have doubts about Rick not knowing that Darya was my mate.

No. Not Darya. Rick is the one who is lying and I very much intended to know what his new game is.

Sighing, I stared at the electric charger that had stopped working. “Thrash him, until he is too weak to bat an eyelid” I commanded and my friends nodded. I want to see how he is going to escape from here.

“You are not going to kill him?” Nevin asked confused.

Grinning, I stared at Rick, who was glaring at me. “He is a bone. I am waiting for a dog to come and pick this bone.”

___________

Meanwhile in Konrad’s warehouse….

“Pick up the call” Cable muttered impatiently. When there was no response for the twentieth time, Cable hung up. “He is still not answering” Cable said to Konrad, who was standing near the board and staring at Darya’s photo. Sanity, was busy sketching while Ekon was trying to find out who was the one who made that website, which had promised to pay 50 million to kill Darya.

Ekon wondered who did it because it surely was not Konrad.

“They have captured him” Konrad said without taking his eyes from the photo.

“What?” Cable said shocked. Sanity and Ekon, stopped their respective works and looked up, totally stunned to hear it.

“It was her plan” Konrad said gently tapping Darya’s photo with the back of his hand.

“Are you saying she made that website and put money on herself?” Cable asked incredulously.

“The website was done by Tyson Grier, a computer genius” Ekon replied turning off the tab. “That’s why it is so difficult to trace the instigator” Ekon sighed. He still couldn’t trace the instigator, but now he knew it was Tyson Grier, Alpha of Regal Pack.

“I still don’t get how did they capture Rick?” Cable probed in confusion. “You warned him not to attack Darya.”

“Did you forget what a greedy bastard Rick Carlson is?” Konrad reminded turning to face them.

“So you are saying he had gone to attack Darya, ignoring your warnings?” Ekon asked in disbelief.

“Not only did he go there, he also got caught” Konrad concluded.

“But he can escape right?” Cable mused. “Nothing is ever locked for Rick. So, he will be able to escape from Emperor very easily.”

“Not Emperor” Konrad stated once again startling his companions. “Serene” he mumbled with a smirk.

“Serene?” Ekon repeated raising both his brows and Konrad nodded with a grin staring at Sanity.

Sanity smirked before saying, “I forwarded the website address to one of Quillon’s agents.”

“What if they are able to trace us?” Ekon asked with wide eyes.

Konrad clicked his tongue and shook his head, “Quillon will not be interested in who sent the mail. He will be more interested to know who created that website” Konrad specified dexterously.

Ekon nodded in understanding, while Cable laughed.

“Her plan has turned Kaput?” Cable asked laughing like a hyena.

“Darya tried to play smart. But she forgot that she is dealing with me” Konrad murmured silkily sitting on a couch. “She also forgot that her mate is an Alpha male, who without doubt is over protective.”

Ekon now fully understood the plan. Darya had asked Tyson Grier to make that website and the address was sent to some of the top assassins of the country. It was sent by Tyson Grier to fixed number of people, and Cable and Rick were in that list. Darya knew Rick would come after her and she had planned to kill him, while he would attack her. However, due to Konrad’s intervention, her mate, Quillon had come to know about that website and sure enough he had captured Rick, before Darya was able to kill him. Now Rick is alive in Serene Pack prison, which without doubt he would be able to escape by tomorrow, only if Darya lets him.

“So Rick is in Serene Pack prison and Darya would not be able to do anything to him there with Quillon present?” Cable asked amused dropping his phone on the couch.

Konrad scratched his chin and then shook his head, “She might kill him” he said. His companions were startled for the third time that day.

“Even with her mate around?” Cable queried and Konrad nodded, closing his eyes. “But that means she will tell Quillon everything” Cable said exactly what was going on in Ekon’s mind.

When Konrad came to know that Darya hadn’t told about her gifts to Quillon, he planned to take advantage of that situation.

Hence he had asked Ekon to send a pendrive to Quillon, which has two videos. But unknown to Konrad’s knowledge, Ekon has made sure to cut some scenes. It was Ekon’s own way of secretly helping Darya. If she has kept her gifts a secret from her mate, then there obviously has to be some reason. But even then there was nothing much in the video because Darya has always been careful with her powers.

“She will lie” Konrad said grimly. “And like a totally obsessed mate, Quillon will believe her” Konrad concluded in a bored tone.

“Then why did you ask Ekon to put that pen drive in Quinn’s bag?” Cable demanded outraged and Konrad opened his eyes. One look at Konrad’s dark eyes and Ekon knew he was getting angry.

“You should have directly sent that video to Quillon because it is obvious that he has not yet see-” Cable couldn’t complete that sentence because Konrad had leapt from his seat and holding Cable’s neck, he pinned him to the floor.

Ekon stood up and so did Sanity. “You dared to raise your voice on me?” Konrad asked in a malicious voice, smacking Cable’s head to the floor. Cable, who was struggling to breathe, winced in pain.

“Sorry. Sorry” Cable muttered fear clearly evident in his tone, while he was gasping for air. Konrad punched him in the face and Cable lost conscious.

“Her mate will see the video, when the time is right” Konrad hissed. Standing straight, he twisted his neck a few times, popping his nerves in the process.

When he opened his eyes, they were back to their mint green color.

Ekon and Sanity did not utter a single word until Konrad sat down in his earlier seat and then throwing his head back, rested it on the couch. When Ekon was sure Konrad was calm, he opened his mouth, “What’s the next move?” Ekon asked quietly.

Slowly, Konrad raised his lashes and then looked at Ekon, before saying, “I want you to kill Rick before she does” in a lethal tone.

Ekon couldn’t even hide the surprise. He looked at Sanity, who seemed unfazed by that comment. Ekon didn’t ask why because he knew the answer to that. Rick was a greedy wolf and given enough money, he would even blurt out all their hideouts to Serene Pack wolves.

“You have something going on in your mind. Spit it out Ekon” Konrad said and Ekon gulped.

“Why didn’t you tell Rick, Darya found her mate?” Ekon’s voice was barely audible.

“Because I knew that greedy bastard would betray me” Konrad replied before closing his eyes and resting it on the couch.

Ekon took a deep breath and nodded. His eyes drifted to Cable’s unconscious figure on the floor first and then towards Sanity, who was looking at him, with an impassive expression on her face.

“You want me to kill him?” she asked cocking an eyebrow.

“No” Ekon said shaking his head. “I will go to Serene Pack to kill Rick” he concluded.
