Selling Myself To The Alpha
Chapter 108

Axel POV

There are people everywhere when we arrive at our border. Our guards are gathered around four men who are tied up and sitting on the ground next to the Volvo.

"At least two cars survived," I grin as I look at the BMWs that are parked next to them.

"Hey," Liana protests indignantly. "We only lost two."

"Three," I sigh as I park. "Mine."

"But not on my order," she teases as she leans over and kisses me before we get out.

"Alpha," David emerges from the crowd and walks towards us.

"Welcome home," I say jovially as I shake David's hand. "You had us worried there for a moment."

"Sorry," sheepishly he rubs his neck. "We were having drinks when this huge guy walked to us. He told us some teenagers are messing with our cars. When we came outside, they overpowered us with wolfsbane. I only came to when the car started moving." "Do you have any idea who attacked our drivers?" Liana asks hopefully. Her hands are itching for payback.

"No," David shakes his head. "We never made it to the cars."

"Dammit," Liana grunts. "I'm going back to the car. I want to check up on Nina and Connor."

"I'm just glad you're okay," I smile at David as Liana walks to the car. "Put these guys in lockup and double the guards. Adele will be here shortly with the rest. Oh, and organize a cleanup crew. The cars will have to be towed in."

"Yes, Alpha," David nods and I walk back to the car.

"Connor is fine," she sniffs as I get in. "I miss holding that tiny body so much, but they cannot come home until Mary is six feet under."

"I miss him too," I reach over and squeeze her hand.

"I want to reckon with Mary today still," she says adamantly. "Before she retaliates or tries something else. We should go now."

"I was thinking the same thing," I tap with my fingers on the steering wheel. "But our ranks have been poisoned. We don't know how strong the dosage was. They might not be able to shift."

"It's better if they stay," Liana says firmly. "Your Dad will be back soon and can take control of the pack. The ranks can sort the captives. All we need is a bunch of warriors who can fight."

"Do you have a plan?" I look at her. "You know they'll attack before we get across the border."

"Not if we arrive in a Volvo with their emblem," she grins as she looks at the car in front of us. "And if their own people drive the car."

"I'm listening," I turn in my seat and look curiously at her.

"We take two captives and pump them full of wolfsbane," she explains. "Before we reach their borders, we put them in front and tie them to stay upright. With sunglasses, their guards won't see that they're unconscious. We put the car in cruise control, and I will squeeze in at the front passenger's feet and control the steering wheel. You'll be my eyes in the back. We only need to get through, Axel. We don't need to make it all the way. Once we're across the border, our warriors arrive, and their border patrol would be too busy with them to pay attention to us."

"Do you have any idea how many things can go wrong with that plan?" I push my fingers through my hair.

"Do you have a better idea?" She raises her eyebrows and crosses her arms in front of her chest.

"No," I sigh heavily. Liana's plan is a dangerous gamble, but if it works, it will be the easiest and quickest way to get across their borders. Sneaking in or planning a ruse with Wolfsbane will take time. Time we do not have. And Mary will soon know her plan has failed. She will either plan a counterattack or flee. But she will most definitely increase border patrol making it twice as hard to get to her.

"So?" She looks at me in question.

"So, we're doing it," I exhale defeated. "I'll rally the men and get the wolfsbane. You get dressed." Liana POV

I am anxious and excited as we drive to Mary's borders. This better be working. I want to reunite with our son. I want our happiness back to before Angela's funeral when my biggest problem was my mother-in-law's disapproval.

We pull over and get out. Chris, Martin and Axel drag the two unconscious men from the trunk and duct tape them underneath their shirts to the seat. I put sunglasses on their faces and worm myself in at the feet.

"Good thing you're tiny," Axel smirks as he moves the seat all the way back to make more space for me. "Chris would've never fitted there."

"I'm grateful, Luna," Chris looks distressed at the space. "I can't bend like that."

"Yeah," Martin chimes in. "Riding in the trunk suddenly doesn't look so bad."

"When you're done flattering me, can we please get a move on?" I grunt as I partially lay across the man's legs. "Being so close to his groin is not on my wish list."

"Yes, dear," Axel winks at me before he runs around and climbs onto the driver's lap. "If anybody ever mentions me sitting on a dude's lap, I will kill you."

"Yes, dear," I throw his words back at him and he gives me a deathly stare before starting the car.

Tediously slow we start moving forward. Axel turns on the cruise control and clumsily climbs over the seat to the back. I hold the steering wheel tightly and he moves the chair forward into position. "Fuck," he grunts. "That was not as easy as I thought it would be."

"So far the plan's working," Chris grins.

"Are you in control, Liana?" Axel looks at me. "Can I turn up the speed?"

"I'm ready," I nod. "The faster the better. It will give their border patrol the impression we're running home."

Except for the occasional order of left or right from Axel, nobody says a word.

"I'm going to countdown," Axel says as he reaches between the seats and places his hand on mine. "On one, we will make a sharp left. I'll assist."

"I'm ready," I mumble.

"Three ... two... one."

I turn left and Axel ensures that the car faces the centre of the gate before he sits back. Chris opens his window just enough for his eyes to show.

"Behind us!" He shouts as we charge through the gates and closes his window.

"It worked," Axel exclaims. "They're all concentrating on our oncoming convoy."

"Before you pop the champagne, a little help, please," I grunt.

"I'll take it from here," Axel replies as he leans over and takes the steering wheel before decreasing the speed rapidly.

"Thank goddess," I complain as I wiggle out of my hiding place onto the man's lap. "That was not nice."

"Get ready to hit the brakes," Axel orders.

"Fuck me," I moan as I lean over and dive between the man's legs to get to the brake.

"Now," Axel shouts and I press the brake with both of my hands steadily until we stop moving.

I get up and put the car in park before pulling up the brake and turning off the engine. Axel is first out of the car and yanks the passenger's door open before helping me out. "That was the first and last time you're allowed to sit on another man's lap," he growls softly before kissing me.

"I can say the same to you," I grin as the four of us run towards the house.

"We better hurry," Martin says hastily. "Guards are on their way."

Two guards look wide-eyed at us when we enter the house but before they can utter a word, Axel and Chris knock them out.

"Hide them," Axel orders.

Martin and Chris tie and drag the men into the coat closet as Axel takes my hand and we run deeper inside.

We peek our ears for any noises and are not disappointed when we hear Mary shout from the office.

"Stop them," she rages. "Do not allow them into our borders."

"It's too late," I smirk as I enter the office with Axel behind me. "We're already here."

She swallows hard and turns pale as she looks from us to Jack. But he might as well not have been there. He is staring absentmindedly into his drink.

"Not for long," Mary regains her composure. "The two of you are no match for my guards."

"Who said it's just the two of us?" Axel smiles slyly.

There is a scuffling and growling in the background.

Don't worry, we got them, Chris mind-links.

But there are more on their way. You should hurry, Martin advises.

Let them come and keep yourselves alive. They won't touch us if they want to keep their Alpha and Luna alive, I reply.

"Aren't you going to offer us a drink?" I ask sweetly as I sit down next to Jack.
