Warrior Wolf (Complete)

29 Plan

Rose stood before the werewolf group, her voice steady and commanding as she gave instructions for the upcoming attack. The group listened intently, their eyes filled with a mixture of respect and anticipation. For the first time in what felt like ages, Rose felt a sense of belonging, a pride swelling in her chest as she realized that these wolves looked up to her as a leader. She was doing what she was meant to do—what she was born to do.

Yet, beneath that pride, something gnawed at her. A deep unease simmered within her, a sense that something was profoundly wrong. The joy of leading, of having found a new purpose, was tainted by a nagging doubt she couldn't shake. It was as if a shadow had crept into her heart, casting a pall over her newfound role.

As they plotted the attack on the Wolf King, Rose listened as some of the werewolves—once high-ranking officials—discussed the security loopholes they knew all too well. Their inside knowledge was alarming, giving them a dangerous edge. They even spoke of having direct access to the Wolf King himself, a terrifying advantage that could turn the tide of battle in their favor.

But the more they talked, the more the unease within Rose grew. She couldn’t ignore the feeling that this wasn’t the path she was meant to follow, despite the power and respect it brought. She had been betrayed, humiliated, and cast aside, but was joining this cause—the enemy’s cause—truly the answer? The question lingered, unresolved, as she pushed it aside to focus on the mission at hand.

Scouts returned with news that sent a wave of mixed emotions through Rose. The werewolves, her former pack, were celebrating a hard-fought victory over the vampires—a battle she had played a crucial part in. By all rights, she should have been honored alongside the other soldiers, her name spoken with pride for her bravery and cunning. Instead, they had cast her out, treating her like a criminal rather than the hero she had been.

The bitterness of that betrayal festered within her as the plans were laid out before the group. They would kidnap the Wolf King, using the element of surprise and the inside knowledge of those who had once served him. Once captured, they would deliver him to King Drake, who would execute him publicly. It would be a show of power, a message to all werewolves that their time under the Wolf King was over.

Afterward, King Drake would give a speech, one designed to break the spirit of the werewolves and turn them to his side. He would offer them a new leader, a new purpose—under his rule. The plan was ruthless, but effective, and as it was discussed, Rose couldn’t help but feel the weight of the choices she had made pressing down on her. She had been thrown out like she meant nothing, but now she was part of something that could change everything.

But at what cost? The question lingered, unspoken, as the group prepared for the mission that would reshape the future of their kind.
