Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 192

Victor's

POV

The place is eerie.

Even from someone like me who was part of the supernatural world, the mere sight of the huge wheat plantation, the foreboding vibe echoed in the area. I do not need a foresight to know that danger awaits in the property the moment I move forward. Yesterday, when Eli informed the team that the dark Witch is hiding in this place, I sent two of my best warriors to scout the area. Just to see the activity or the lack of it.

According to the report I got this morning, the whole day yesterday, there was no one incoming or outgoing the place. Not even a human. However, when the night comes, several shifters where leaving. They went back before midnight before another seat of different individuals went out.

The activity continued until before sunrise.

Unfortunately, for a place owned by a human, no human was seen going in or out of the plantation. Unless, they were either held hostage inside or they were already killed.

I prayed for the first one.

There was one thing that the warriors had noticed when they scouted the place. It was protected by an enchantment.

They were not able to recognized that the people coming out of the plantation were shifters until they had them followed. They were rogues.

The assumption that the Dark Witch collected rogues to do her bidding was correct. She gave them shelter and temporary protection so that she could command them for her personal gain.

The great evidence was the attack and the abduction of Lauren in Sabado Tribe. Moreover, she also called on the desperate people the likes of Lola who wanted to get revenge.

"Alpha, this is Bravo team. I have East border secure. No one on sight." A mind link entered my head.

"Copy that. Charlie?"

"The South border is secure. I saw three men rounding the area. They seemed to be the guard dogs. I can smell them from where I am hiding, Alpha. Rogues."

"West border secure, alpha. They have another exit in this place. A gated one where small vehicle can enter and exit. I can see a barn. The activity is centered on it. I can count at least ten people loitering the place. Rogues." I released a deep sigh.

"They are expecting us. It appeared that the Dark Witch removed the enchantment." I said on the link. "Eli, do you have something to add?"

The young warrior is station not far from where I am. Lauren and I together with three warriors were on the North Border of the plantation. It was the main entrance of the wheat plantation. A wooden gate was out front. Eli was inside a van and he was on the computer. He has his eyes on us.

Before we leave the manor, I made sure that we have a body cam on us so that Eli can help us. He can also mind link who needs immediate help.

"Alpha, the drone that I sent ahead read more than twenty body heat inside the barn."

"Noted, Eli. Thank you. Keep us posted."

"Prepare for war, everyone. I will be the first one to enter the place. She's expecting me."

"Yes, alpha."

I faced Lauren after I talked to the teams that came with me in this mission.

My mate looked at me. She smiled and stared at me with trust and love.

Soft hand caressed my face.

"I am with you. We can do this, my Alpha." Lauren said. Determination was written all over her face.

Just like the rest of the warriors that joined us today, Lauren was geared in a pair of dark tactical pants and a black shirt. She was also wearing tactical boots where a small pocket knife was inserted. Her long hair was in high ponytail.

Although Lauren has been training a lot lately and can be seen in the forming muscles in her arms and legs, I have her bring a gun for additional protection. She did not have to fight like the rest of the shifters; In a physical wolf form. Her healing ability is needed at any time.

I checked the chest gun holster on her body. The firearm was secured. It can easily be taken out when needed.

"More bullets were on my pockets." Lauren muttered with a smile. "I will be fine, Victor. Give them hell."

I nodded. I pressed a kiss on her forehead before glancing at the two men beside me who nods back.

"Take care of your Luna, Richard."

"Yes, Sir."

I stood up and marched in the direction of the main entrance. It was a little over ten meters from where I was hiding.

I pushed opened the wooden gate. Its rusty hinges made a squeaking noise.

"Alpha, about five people were heading out the barn. They were heading in your direction." Eli linked.

Two bright lights turned on. They were on both side of the barn. It illuminates the otherwise darkened shed.

Even from a distance, I could see the outline of the five people under those lights.

The teams were right. They were all rogues. I can smell their putrid scent even from afar.

More figures stood beside and behind the first five.

A few meters before the barn, I stopped. The two warriors were planking my sides.

"You're far away from home, Victor." The man from the center spoke.

Not even an ounce of surprise, I just stared at him.

The other man's laugh resonated in the silence of the night.

"Where are your minions, fake alpha?"

"They were out there somewhere. You miss my warriors, Andrews?"

He snickered at what I said.

I was not shocked to see Jason Andrews' Uncle in the throng. His clan was kicked out of the Midnight Claws Tribe due to treason. They were considered rogues and the only possible place for them were either in the human population or to join forces with anyone that was against me. It was no other than the Dark Witch.

"Where's Lola?"

"Oh, she's dead."

I already expected that. I knew that the Dark Witch will not spare Lola's life. The woman made a huge mistake of going against the Dark Witch's plan.

"I'm sorry to hear that. She was a huge instrument in replaceing this place. I was not able to give her my thanks."

"That's true. It was also the reason why she was killed the moment the Enchantress saw her. The b*tch tried to reason that she lost your people along the way." The Andrews disclosed.

"Well, she tried." I mentioned nonchalantly.

The other man shrugged his shoulders.

"You know, Victor, for a smart man, you did not even try to conceal the two men that you sent yesterday. We were actually expecting you for days. Well, since Lola messed up in abduct*ing your mate." He mentioned proudly.

"I am glad that the Dark Witch spared their lives."

"She did. If it was me, I would send their bodies in your manor in pieces. You know, to send a message."

"Well, I'm grateful that you did not get to decide, Andrews." I replied in a calm demeanor. "The Dark Witch wanted to be found, I guess. Did she sent you out to die first?"

The wide smile on the older man faded. My words must have hit a nerve.

A growl vibrated in his chest. More followed his example.

It made two men on my sides more alert as they wait for my command. I knew that they both wanted to have a piece of the old man Andrews who was disrespecting their alpha.

"Alpha, the temperature inside the barn rise up. There was also a change in the image reflecting on the monitor coming from the feed off the drone." Eli warned. "They were shifting." "We're ready, Alpha." The Bravo, Charlie and Delta teams said simultaneously.

"Now." I shouted in the mind link the moment that I saw people planking the Andrews step forward.

Growls cut the otherwise silent night. It was followed by the sound of bones cracking to let go of their other forms. Otherwise, the members of the Midnight Claws Tribe did not bother to shift into their wolf form. Instead, they shifted midway. With their claws out, they wiped their arms sideways to the incoming attack. Their sharp nails embedded at the soft tissues of the underbelly of the wolves. Most fell on their sides with a groan of pain before they shifted back into their human bodies. As more rogues came out of the barn, out of nowhere, men and women wearing dark clothes, pounced on them slowly but each punch made sure that it hits a mark.

More snarls and moans of agony echoed in the night. They were responded by my teams determined war cry.

"Hello, old friend." Kent's gruff voice greeted the man standing before the bright light.

Old Andrews gawked at me with fear. Gone was the confident man a while ago. He looked pale as he looked around him.

Bodies were piling up on the ground. Mutilated, bloody, and naked. Either way, dead or almost dead.

"K-kent..."

"Yes. Aren't you looking for me? What did you just say to my human?" My wolf asked as he stepped toward our shaking prey. "Fake alpha, you say?" "Stay back..! Stay back!"

A creepy smile formed on my lips as I saw him backing away.

I could almost smell his fear. His trembling body made me more eager to hunt. To hunt for blood.

"Run." I whispered.
