Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

Chapter 127

#Chapter 127 – Night Stalker

“Three.”

Victor pulls his trigger at the same moment as two of his Betas. All three of Rafe’s troops fall to the ground, shrieking hideously.

Victor grimaces at the sounds, but works to stay perfectly still. This is one thing that is different from actual combat. If this had been a real-life situation, he and his Betas would have aimed to kill, and Rafe’s Betas would have fallen to the ground as silent as stones.

As it is, Rafe’s Betas are free to shriek to their heart’s content. In fact, they’re almost unable not to, considering the horrible wolfsbane now working its way into their bloodstream.

His instinct, in this moment, is to move away from racket of the shrieking Betas, whose noise is letting Rafe know that at least some members of Victor’s own team are within shooting range of the fallen men. One strategy would be immediately to pack up and move to a different part of the forest to let Rafe’s team approach again.

But Rafe has studied military strategy. There is every possibility that this is itself a trap – sacrifice three Betas and wait for Victor himself to stand up, revealing his position.

No, Victor holds steady, letting Rafe be the one who takes the bait. Rafe knows where he is now.

Come and get me, Victor thinks.

Victor’s troops are spread out in a wide semicircle in the forest, all within sight of each other’s binoculars, creating a trap for Rafe to walk into. Victor himself is the furthest point of the circle and the plan, ideally, is for Rafe and his troupes to walk into the circle. Once they do that, Victor’s Betas will move to surround them.

Of course, Rafe knows of this basic – if strong – strategy. There’s every chance he has prepared counter moves against it.

But Victor can’t think that far ahead – he has to stay in the moment, countering Rafe’s moves until it is his own time to strike.

“Sir?” He hears in his ear.

“I’m here” he responds.

“We have eyes on two more of the opposition’s Betas. No indication, yet, of the Alpha leader.”

“Received, Beta. Continue as planned.”

Victor narrows his eyes, looking through his scope and scanning the forest for signs of his brothers’ forces. As it stands now, Rafe is down 3 men, Victor was down none.
