Alpha Denzel had already achieved what he wanted. If a headache were to come before he could remember the words said by the moon goddess, then he will endure it.

"I need to win Valerie’s heart. She has to love only me, and I have to make sure she isn’t targeted or dies in the process," Alpha Denzel revealed after enduring the pounding headache.

Recalling what happened to her sister, Lisa, and the others, Luna Fernanda feared for Valerie. It was impossible for Alpha Denzel to win her heart without openly showing her his affection and doing things to please her.

How could that happen when the enemy was not found? "That’s impossible."

"I still have to try," Alpha Denzel said with determination. Not for once had he thought his actions would spell doom for Valerie, but since it happened, he had to make the correction before it was too late.

An idea formed in his mind as he smiled faintly, "I think I have a plan."

Luna Fernanda was quite interested in this plan of his. "I’m interested in knowing this plan. Does it mean you are going to treat her better? Won’t that risk her life?"

This woman had a special way of getting information from Alpha Denzel, but this time around, he refused to share his plans for fear of being discouraged.

It wasn’t a feasible one, and he wasn’t certain of it, but that seemed to be the only way. "No. I will only tell you about it when it’s successful. I have to go." Alpha Denzel was about to get off the bed when Luna Fernanda held him back.

"Denzel, I need your help."

Seeing the worried look in her eyes, Denzel could not help being disturbed. "What is the matter?" He was ready to remove whatever caused his aunt to worry so much.

"The Blue Blood pack. They are..."

She paused as her eyes rolled to the back. There was a mindlink coming through. Her eyes returned to normal, and she stood up.

"It’s too late. They are already here."

Alpha Denzel was confused but suddenly remembered that Alpha Idris had asked him to send a letter to the Blue Blood Pack with his unwavering support for the Litha Moon pack to prevent the attack.

Alpha Denzel wanted to discuss it with Luna Fernanda first but forgot about it when things took a different turn. He asked, "Is it the Blue Blood Pack?"

"Yes. The pack is under attack, and you know how strong their warriors are. I’m afraid Idris will not be able to defeat Alpha Ebert."

Denzel scoffed. Alpha Ebert might be good, but he was no match for Alpha Denzel, and oh, what a wrong timing he chose when Denzel was already longing for Valerie and was eager to meet her?

Anger surged in his heart for this war, which would cause a delay in winning back Valerie’s heart, but since it involved Luna Fernanda, he felt it was all worth it.

"Why worry when I’m here?"

He began changing from his pajamas to casual clothes right in front of Luna Fernanda. After every shift, they were usually naked, so this wasn’t a big deal. Besides, he had on boxer shorts under his pajama pants.

She could not understand what was going on until Alpha Denzel picked up a pair of sneakers and began to wear them hastily.

"Are you going to help defend our pack?" Luna Fernanda was shocked, as that could endanger the Ever-green pack. If Alpha Ebert was attacking the Litha Moon pack, it was because he had permission from the council, but Alpha Denzel did not have the permission to support the Litha Moon Pack.

"Do you expect me to watch it crumble?" Alpha Denzel asked back. He might have failed to protect his human mate, but he would not allow anything to happen to the only elderly figure he had as a family.

Luna Fernanda smiled. Alpha Denzel’s unwavering support, even without the permission of the peace council, reminded her so much of her brother-in-law. He was hot-blooded and wild.

"Then I owe you, but I’m afraid of what the council will say," Luna Fernanda hinted. There was too much on Alpha Denzel’s shoulders that she didn’t want to complicate.

"Fuck the council. I will bring them down when the problems in my life are resolved," Alpha Denzel said seriously.

Luna Fernanda was shocked, but Alpha Denzel did not give her any more time to discourage her as he dashed towards where he was hearing distressed screams of war.

The war sirens went out at the Litha Moon pack. The warriors who were supposed to go training had prepped themselves for defense. The attack happened just in the early hours of the morning.

’Victor,’ Alpha Idris mind linked his beta as he rushed out of his bedroom. The Blue Blood Pack no doubt had acted on their words in reference to their last letter.

It was only Alpha Denzel’s fault for not sending the letter like Alpha Idris requested, but he knew that his mother will tell him to stop blaming others for his problems.

’Take charge of the archers. They should fire from up the trees. I will take the position of the middle of the battlefield with Adira.’

’Noted, Alpha, but I heard Alpha Denzel is in the pack. Is he going to help us?’

Alpha Idris’s teeth gritted together. He sensed the hope in Victor’s question, wishing that hope had entirely been entrusted to him.

If Alpha Denzel joined the fight, then he was just going to take all the glory as usual. ’Just do as I’ve said. Let’s pretend he’s not here.’

As chaos broke out at the pack, Adira met him at his entrance. "This is my first war in this pack. Do you have a plan?" She asked seriously, Alpha Idris’s eyes lit. Adira must surely be privy to Alpha Denzel’s war strategies.

Her being here wasn’t wasted after all. Besides, she had been very helpful in training the female warriors as well. "You have worked with Alpha Denzel before. What would he have done? Tell me his battle plan."

Sadly, Adira’s response was not what he expected.
