I cross my arms in front of my chest and lean back in my seat as I look at Donovan. He looks from me to Gibson and back again, before he looks at Elinor and tells her that is none of her business. “What are you afraid of, Donovan?” She asks him and I know she is taunting him, she wants to rattle his cage.
“No, Elinor. This is between me and my leadership and how we are going to take down the other Packs is nobody’s business.” He growls and I get out of my seat as I place my hands on the table, “Then answer the question for me, Donovan. After all, I am the future Gamma of Moon Stone Pack, how are we going to take down the other Packs?” I ask.
I keep looking into his eyes and I know that everyone can see that he is getting uncomfortable, he starts squirming in his seat as I lean closer to him. “We will discuss that in the morning in Donovan’s office,” Gibson says as he pulls Donovan out of his seat, but Alpha Brad tells them both to sit down. “You will wait here until the devices are activated.” He says.
Halfway through dinner, the devices get activated and Gibson almost pulls Donovan out of his chair as they put the vests on.
After dinner, I walk out of the Pack-house with my team right behind me. “My Brother is on patrol,” Gaia says and we follow her to the cottage she lives in with her Brother.
The moment the door closes Kianda asks what that was all about and I tell them about what happened yesterday and this morning. “However, I will get my revenge on them. Tonight I will take both of them out, take pictures of the rules they received and I will finish this competition on my own.
I will not tell them that I am still alive, because they will never see my device. Tomorrow morning will be the last time I will be in the dining room for a meal, I know they will assume that I got killed as well and I need to keep them in the dark about my plans. I will need your help though to make sure they don’t find out I left Pack territory to take down the other Packs.
Let’s just hope I can figure out what the extra challenge is and that I will be able to finish at least ours before I get taken out.” I say and we discuss how to proceed after I take out Donovan and Gibson, we decide to take them out randomly. Blue Blood Pack will be the last one though, I have no problems with Angelo and his leadership.

Sila and I are looking at the countdown on her tablet and we smile the moment every device gets activated, now all we have to do is wait to see who dies first. When Sila and I thought of this idea for the challenge we knew it would be hard, because Pups don’t get trained in using weapons anymore.
Trying to shoot a moving target is difficult, especially if that target is shooting back at you and we had a lot of laughs as we went through every possible scenario. Our tech-department made sure it couldn’t be worn to bed and it is even very sensitive to clothes covering it up, it has to stay a challenge after all.
The surface is a bit bigger than it’s ancient predecessor for laser games, we decided to go with light instead of sound and we did that to prevent an entire Pack to go hunting after the other leaderships. If someone was smart enough to attack during the night, I can think of at least one person who might come up with that idea.
“Okay, they are all activated. Let the competition begin.” Sila says and I know that everyone is curious if they can figure out the extra challenge we gave them, Eryx seems convinced that no one will be able to figure it out. We have given them two weeks for this competition and every morning and every evening at nine Deimos will check the locations.
We want to know if anyone has figured out where to find their reward and by giving each of them a different hint and location we will know which Packs have found their reward. In the rules Sila gave each Pack it states that the extra challenge can still be completed even if they get taken out of the competition.
Let’s just hope that some of them are smart enough to read all the rules and not just to rely on what Sila told them, because that would mean that not everyone will go after the extra challenge. It is a test of its own and will determine if a leadership will give up at the first signs of trouble or will stop if a challenge seems too big.
I mean trying to get into the Palace and to find a hidden reward, it would probably stop quite a few people from going after it. We also chose eight different places to hide the rewards and gave them a cryptic hint on where to find it, using references from the past of Royal family members.
Sila had a lot of fun with Queen Axelle to find the right references to put in the hints and I learned a lot about Ammon’s family members that once lived in this Palace. Some stories never left the Palace walls and those were not used for the extra challenge, but stories that were known throughout the Kingdom were the ones we did use.
Ammon holds the rulebook of the competition in front of me with his finger near one of the rules, I read the rule he is pointing at and I burst out in laughter. Zalia could have taken Moon Stone Pack out of the competition by declining the Gamma position and I wonder if she isn’t aware of this rule or that she has an agenda of her own.
Zalia
I walk up to my room and decide to stay awake tonight, I can sleep after I have taken out Donovan and Gibson. At breakfast I will leave the device in my room, I am only going to breakfast to see how Donovan and Gibson react to being “Dead” and if they will automatically assume that I was taken out too.
To pass the time until I can get into action, I write down all the Pack names that are in the competition and I give each of them a number in the order I will take them out. My first target will be Moon Storm Pack, just because of the remark Rick made and I start laughing when Twilight tells me what I should do before taking them out.
“Lights are out on the Alpha and Beta floor,” Kianda says in my head and I slowly get out of bed to grab my handgun. I check if it is on before I open my bedroom door and walk towards the hidden staircase the Omegas use, it will take me to the Beta floor and Alpha floor without being seen.
My first target is Donovan and as I reach the Alpha floor I peek around the corner to find the hallway empty. I walk to Donovan’s room which is not far from the master bedroom, I have to be real quiet as Luna Hester is a light sleeper and I don’t want her to catch me in the act. Even though I have a feeling she wouldn’t say a word about it.
When I reach Donovan’s room, I take a deep breath before I slowly open the door, and as I look into his room, I want to scream at the top of my lungs: there is someone in bed with him!
I sniff the air to find out who it is and I nearly vomit when I smell the scent of the one person Donovan always said he would never want near him.
Twilight reminds me of an app Slater downloaded on my phone, it is able to make infrared pictures and I think it will be a good time to try if it really works. I walk closer to the bed to get a great shot and after I take the picture I send it to Gaia, she will print it for me. All that will be left to do is to tape it to his door before the Omegas start walking around the Pack-house.
Donovan has placed the device on his nightstand and I aim at it to take a shot, the word “Alive” changes to “Dead” in a split second. I smile as I quietly leave his room to make my way down to the Beta floor, before I reach the end of the hallway a widely smiling Nyx shows up and through the mind-link I tell her what to do with the picture.
The Beta floor is deserted as well and I get to Gibson’s room without any problems. I slowly open his door to quickly step inside. His device is on the dresser next to the door and under it is the envelope Sila gave to Donovan, I quickly take pictures of its contents before I turn my attention to the bed.
