Chapter 53: Games 

***Caine*** 

 

“His Majesty has requested I return to Crescent Mane for reinforcements,” Gamma Wyatt mutters.

 

“He wants to show the little Queen what a reaI King can do,” he adds, pinching the bridge of his nose.

 

“This is not going to end well for us,” he shakes his head.

 

“But in the meantime, you two will go to River Moon to deliver this,” he says, grabbing a sheet of paper and scribbling something on it before handing it to Korbin.

 

“Make sure Zane gets that.” Korbin stares at the sheet of paper and reads the note aloud.

 

“Please rethink your decision.Your father needs you now more than ever.Signed Wyatt.”

 

A bitter anger ripples through me.Father didn’t need anyone else but me.I’m his heir, not Zane.He was a useless mutt for 26 years and he will remain a useless mutt for what little time remains of his life.

 

“What’s the sudden interest in that worthless omega?” I snarl, ripping the sheet out of Korbin’s hands and stashing it in my pocket.

 

“We don’t even know his gift or if he has one.”

 

“Do not question your King,” Wyatt snaps back.

 

“It is his will and we will do as we are told.Besides, that worthless omega, as you so call him, is your brother and the one true heir to Scarlett Haven so I suggest you shut your f*****g mouth before I shut it for while Zane still has a chance to come to his senses.I’ll be back in three days.Please don’t make me regret leaving you two alone.”

 

“Don’t worry, Dad.We got it all under control,” Korbin smiles.

 

Gamma Wyatt eyes me suspiciously but I flip him the bird and act uninterested, meanwhile a plan formulates in my head.

 

A plan leading to my brother’s demise.

 

Wyatt reluctantly calls an uber to the airport, reminding Korbin and I to behave while he’s away.

 

As soon as Wyatt is a safe distance away, Korbin goes out to start the car, leaving me alone in the hotel room to get what I need.I pull out a revolver from my bag and load it with silver bullets my mother made me bring to complete my mission.

 

“Aim for the head or the heart,” she told me.

 

“He won’t be able to heal as quickly from silver bullets.”

 

Of course she forgot to take into account that silver wolves are not as easily affected by silver as regular wolves but as long as I aim right, I won’t have a problem.I stash the revolver in the back of my pants and head over to the car, demanding Korbin to move out of the driver’s seat.

 

“Fine, dude chill,” he mutters as he climbs into the passenger seat.

 

“It’s not that deep.”

 

I don’t respond and take the wheel, driving out of town towards the outskirts of the city.

 

As I’m driving, I see an SUV in yesterday while we were visiting River Moon.Are you sure about this? Abel, my wolf, hesitates.

 

Hesitation is for the weak, I snarl back, pulling out the revolver from my pants and rolling down the window.

 

Upon seeing the gun, Korbin starts to panic.

 

“Ay yo, what the f**k are you- ”

 

Ignoring him, I aim at the passenger’s side where I see Zane looking stupidly at his mate.

 

As I pull the trigger, however, Korbin pulls my arm and the bullet flies towards the drivers side, hitting Zane’s stupid mate instead.

 

Their car swerves like a snake down the middle of the road and I stop ours knowing my mission has yet to be fulfilled.

 

“What the actual f**k was that?” Korbin shouts at me, his heart rate soaring as he breaks into a full sweat.

 

“We were just supposed to deliver a message!”

 

“I am.”
