101. Deaf Ears
ALPHA RAIDEN
| felt at peace as | looked at Nolan's lifeless body while his wife screamed her lungs out. She was clearly
experiencing the pain of losing her mate but | didn't care. | couldn't bring myself to care.
Nolan for Ronald.
Larisa's father for my father.
It was simple. An eye for an eye.
"Take his body to one of the cells. Let him rot there like my father did in his daughter's captivity." | let out that
order without a single emotion slipping. My men rushed to carry out the order while my pack members silently
watched. There was no kid around to witness the gruesscene.
| continued speaking, "Let this be a lesson to you all. If you are caught with the traitor, you will be stripped of
your honor and dealt with in ways you can't even imagine. It's either you give up on helping Larisa or never get
caught. This is my last warning."
| wanted whoever was working with Larisa to know that | was onto them. That would push him or her to make a
mistake and reveal himself or herself. Maybe leadto Larisa too. That would be the best because | was dying
to teach that bitch that she messed with the wrong person.
She wouldn't know the kind of demon | could be because she had always been on my good side but now that she
was an enemy, she'd understand that.

My mom was standing besideand she didn't flinch when Nolan's life was taken. She must feel at peace too.
That was for my dad... her mate.
"You can't do this to us! We are a respectable family!" Helen screamed, tears pouring out of her eyes like she
had a dam inside her orbs.
| seethed, "I already did, Helen, and you are only respectful when | say so. If | say otherwise, you are ruined."
For Helen, | had a different plan. Nolan was dead but Helen would live as bait for her daughter and she would
also live like a rat just like my mom did in her daughter's prison.
Convincingly, | called Nina out and she stepped forward, bowing her head toas | started speaking, "I hereby
strip Helen of her authority, strength, and rank. | demote her and her wolf to the lowest rank. She is below the
omega as from this instant and she will becone of the unpaid servants that her daughter maltreated while
she acted as the Luna of the pack."
| watched Helen scream in agony as my words took effect. | felt her energy leaving her body and her wolf's aura
diminished. She was born into a gamma family but as her Alpha, | had made her lose her natural power.
"Understood, Alpha." Nina acknowledged my words.
"You'll be held responsible if she escapes the pack, Nina. Do you understand me?" | asked.
"Yes, Alpha. She won't escape me." Nina promised and | could tell that she meant every word.
"Drag her away and put her to work." | sealed Helen's fate.
| got a feeling that | had handed Helen over to the right person as | was aware of Nina's child being one of
Larisa's captives.
"You can all return to your home, keep your eyes open for any traits, and report them immediately. It's twe
make our pack a safe place for us." | addressed the crowd before dismissing them.
| faced my mom and she smiled sadly, saying, "We should give your father a proper burial soon. His spirit needs
to rest peacefully."
"Arrangements have been made for that, Mom. In fact, | plan to invite Aurelia and the kids to the funeral as soon
as | leave here. The pack will be informed afterward."
"I hope she would stay that long." My mom stated even though she didn't know the day | had chosen for the
funeral.
| didn't ask her any questions as she
and Andrew walked towards the mansion and | gave Jake one last order before strolling towards the apartment
where | knew Aurelia and the kids would be. "Put all the men we captured to hard work. They have all been
demoted and as the gamma, you are responsible for them."
"Yes, Alpha." Jake bowed to me.
After two minutes of walking, I finally arrived in front of the apartment and | knocked before attempting to open
the door. However, the door was yanked open before I could turn the knob and | cface to face with the
twins.
"Hey, guys..." | was happy to see them and | put on my dad's face instead of the serious Alpha face that | had on
earlier.

But the kids didn't seem pleased to see me. Katie folded her arms around her chest and Kyle glared atlike
we didn't have fun together last night.
"What are you guys up to this time?" | chuckled uncomfortably but neither of them answered me. | scratched the
back of my head as | added, "Where is your mom?"
"My mom doesn't want to see you, Raiden." Katie blurted.
Raiden?
This wasn't the first tshe would callthat but | was getting used to her callingdad.
Kyle confirmed, "Yes, you can leave. We will be leaving tomorrow too,"
"Leaving tomorrow?" | asked, my heart beating rapidly. | could sense that my greatest fear was about to become
a reality.
"We're going hto Tristan and we'll never cback here," Katie announced, her words killingfaster than
Larisa's silver bullet.
| got tongue-tied, wondering when Aurelia decided to leave tomorrow and why the kids were suddenly
unfriendly. My eyes threatened to et
release tears as | thought of the little thad left with the kids...with Aurelia... With my family.
Goddess, No!
| can't stand this punishment... punishanother way, please.
| begged the goddess but my plea fell on deaf ears.
