Chapter 114
Stronger
Simon POV:
To say my mindset had shifted was the understatement of the year. Deacon was unlike Marcus in
almost every way. Whereas Marcus was a shortsighted, quickâtempered, and emotional Deacon and
was calm, unattached, and saw the long game.
He was a beast who would calculate in an instant how easy it would be to control Grayson through his
wife. Annette was very much in mortal danger, and so was L. He would want me to do his bidding; heâd
already sided out what little brains Marcus had. He knew I was the creator of the Silver tranquilizer. It
wouldnât take more than one conversation with me to figure out the only way to create something like
that is to start out lethally and work your down.
He wanted Grayson incapacitated quickly my injection was the smartest route. He would try and hold
my sister over me just as Marcus was doing. The difference is I knew Deacon would follow through.
Staying was no longer an option.
I couldnât keep my work here not where it would be used by a psychopath that hated wolves and
wanted to dominate the planet for monetary value.
I had to take my work and get out and I had to take Annette. I see now how horribly Iâd seen things,
meeting that man and seeing the darkness in his eyes scared me. It chilled my core and I couldnât
shake the feeling that he wouldnât hesitate to kill any of us in a second. He had woken me up and I was
on the wrong side.
âGood morning Simon,â Annette called to me from her cell.
She knew that I was ashamed of my behavior she saw my hesitation every time we had to interact and
she wouldnât let me look away. How her husband won any argument that I had Iâll have to ask him.
I couldnât just leave overnight I had to plan so unfortunately Annette still had some time to suffer. I had
to gather supplies and if Marcus or one of his beloved little grunts saw me stockpiling food theyâd tell
their master in an instant. The one thing Marcus did inspire was loyalty from the meatâheaded roided
out morons.
It was shocking to me he thought he could win over a woman this way. He could say all day long it was
Annetteâs beauty that captivated him but he was arrogant, he wanted the best, and in our world that
was her.
I should have never created this substance but my curiosity and my yearning for new information
clouded my judgment and I didnât ever look into the consequences. I wouldnât have known the word
consequence when I was in the thick of experimenting.
I should be mortified by my hubris in my quest to discover. I was a cruel man and didnât care about
others when it came to knowledge.
Here I stood weapon in hand and a walking talking corpse to show me my wrongs. The worst of this
whole situation was that I was hiding it from my sister someone Iâd die for and I trusted her good heart
enough to know that if she found out about what Iâd done sheâd be distrusted with me.
I had started taking seconds from the food hall and packing them up tightly. We didnât have much here
and everyone
was on top of each other but I had enough room at our house to save food.
I would have to find a way to get Annette out of her cell and to find the right potency of a small dose of
the silver injection for a sleeper dart.
The guards would need to go to sleep quickly and without rousing the others. Iâd need a way to sneak
Annette out without suspicion but I had no clue how to do that.
Iâd need a car to get us away perhaps I could ask for a taxi to meet somewhere using human
transportation.
Annette wouldnât be able to phase.
The biggest thing was Iâd have to start weakening her dosage of the injections. That way her strength
and her wolf would return to her and then in the case we were caught sheâd be able to help.
I heard what sheâd done to the two soldiers before Marcus drugged her. Sheâd cut them into ribbons
with ease and precision. Her alpha blood would work.
If only I knew what to do from there somehow weâd have to find our way to her pack. Then Iâd throw
myself at the mercy of her husband and pray the goddess doesnât take me the second he lays eyes on
me.
I set my stuff down quickly but calmly. Calmly. Put my notebook in my bag. I only had one copy of notes
and Marcus had never asked or cared where they were. I needed them out of site and put mine before
Deacon realized who had the
magic potion.
She hadnât been quite so punchy to everyone else they were glad sheâd mellowed out but it was
different in my eyes. I
was terrified she was up to something, with her fatherâinâlaw on the prowl I didnât blame her for being
on edge.
Marcus may have deceived everyone else into thinking Deacon wasnât a threat to us but she and I
knew better when we saw the gaze of the big dog. Eyeing up the little worms seeing whoâs a threat and
who could be used in his favor.
She knew more about him than we did and the look she gave him when he saw her the true terror that
crossed her
face, she hadnât shown fear this whole time but when he entered the picture she knew.
I should work as quickly as I could to try and move before she did anything before she was stupid and
tried to save
herself. She should look at other people more, see that I was changed now too, or perhaps I just feel
guilty as I should. I shouldnât blame her if she makes an attempt and I should hope she escapes, Iâve
been selfish.
Then thereâs my sister I should still try and leave if Anna gets out perhaps I should still go to her at her
pack and beg for mercy. That would probably be the safest choice, her husband didnât seem to be as
much of a beast as his reputation suggested. If his wife loved him so dearly I couldnât see him being an
evil man.
When this was done Iâll take Ashley to a new pack one where she would have a much more cheerful
upbringing, where loyalty and respect were the currency. She could have good friends and not worry
about the demons of our past and we
would leave all this behind.
That would be something if we could leave and move on and grow from this, not have an Alpha holding
our lives in his ignorant hands. Trusting the people around us instead of fearing theyâd have turn us in
for the slightest crime.
If I had been wiser in the ways of people I wouldnât have chosen the side I did I would have walked
away a long time ago and who knows how much better this would all be.
This will end soon, Iâll right my wrongs. Annette just had to hold on a little longer and then we could go.
