The funeral that was held for alpha Xaden was not as grand as Jasmine wanted, because they were in the middle of the battle, which only made her even more depressed, she didn’t want to get out of the bed once the funeral was done.

And because her little brother, Adrian was too little to understand the situation, even more to lead the pack, thus it left Killian to take care of the whole thing.

The transition was very smooth, and no one objected him in this matter, even though they didn’t outright call him as the alpha, since by lineage, it should be Adrian, who held the title, but in the name to avenge their late alpha, they were more than willing to follow Killian’s order.

And Killian didn’t mind when they didn’t address him as the alpha. He needed to take thing slow, if he inserted himself forcefully, they would retaliate against him. Right now, he needed them to be enraged, so he could stir their anger toward the enemies.

To be honest, this was way better than his plan. He couldn’t believe that he would be so lucky. His lucky star seemed shining very bright.

“Gaher all the alpha from the other seven pack,” Killian ordered gamma Michael. He was the gamma from Bloody Wolf pack, he worked alongside alpha Xaden for years, and now he was filled with rage because of the death of his alpha.

“Right away,” Michael said.

He was in his late thirty, and for a shifter, he was still in his prime. He met with Killian the first time almost two years ago, when the king’s mate tried to escape her pack and was caught trespassing to Bloody Wolf pack.

“You embodied your role very quickly,” alpha Winter said.

It was hard to tell whether he was still an alpha or not, because he no longer had a pack, and his warriors had merged with the Bloody Wolf pack now. He was merely an old man, and Killian was no longer acted cautious around him.

A wolf who lost their claws and fangs were merely a big, disfigured dog, and that was what alpha Winter was.

But, Killian still had to be cautious around him. The old alpha still had some use for him. He was a good strategist and Killian could use his skill to win this battle against the royal.

Moreover, he still had a connection to the Barlukan kingdom, where they could negotiate for a reinforcement from them.

“I learned from the best.” Killian was not stingy with his compliment, as he walked with alpha Winter back to the war room, where they would discuss about the next move. “Who do you think will lead the warrior in their next attack?”

It had been confirmed by their spy that Eiten was no longer able to lead the attack. He was bedridden, and was still in a critical condition.

“There is a senior warrior, Keith. He had been with the royal gamma in every attack. I think he will be the

“I think so too,” Killian said, contemplating another option.

And when Rania didn’t reject his advance, he kissed both of her eyes, her nose, her jaw, and then down to her neck, licking her collarbones, until Rania pushed him away. She glared at him.

“Don’t step out of the palace. It’s dangerous out there.”

Rania narrowed her eyes, as if telling him that he was also dangerous, but Maximus just chuckled to see her cute reaction.

It felt like he could hear what she was thinking, even though they couldn’t use mindlink.

“I will be right back. I will come with Eiten and we will have the ceremony for you. What do you think?” Rania said nothing, she pressed her lips.

“Don’t give me that look. I feel like I want to kiss you.”

Rania was surprised, she didn’t even make any face deliberately, but she clutched the front of his shirt, and Maximus caught her hand.

“I will make things right for you when I return. Wait for me.” He brought her hand to his lips, and kissed her knuckles. “Was it still true that you want to be with me?”
