Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

Third Person POV.

It was time. Marissa could feel the tension in the air and the sickening excitement coming from the rest of the hunters. All of them had big smiles on their faces as they gathered in a large group, and she was forced to watch them and listen to their disgusting plan with a fake smile on her face and forced to stand next to Darins as though she was his trophy.

Disgusting.

“Alright, alright,” Darius spoke, nodding at the others, “we’ve managed to extinguish two packs thus far,” he said as the crowd cheered and Marissa clung her hands so tightly together that her knuckles turned white, “but we aren’t finished yet,” he added almost shouting at them as they laughed, anticipation on their faces.

Silence. The hunters nodded amongst themselves in agreement.

Tell us the plan!” One shouted, before glaring at Marissa.

Even now, none of them trusted her. It showed in their expressions and the tone of voice they used when they had to address her. She ignored it. Her pride no longer mattered. All she could focus on was her own survival and hoping that she might be provided a way to escape, although her conscience nagged at her, prompting Marissa to wish there was some way to warn Raven what was coming.

“It’s time to take down the Blood Moon Pack,” Darius announced eagerly as the hunters shot each other glances, silently communicating with each other.

This announcement wasn’t unexpected but several hunters had this reservation. None of them liked Marissa, and none of them trusted her, even if she was Darius’s mate. They all privately thought she was a bitch, and if she hadn’t been Darius’s, the most fearful of the hunters, some of the men might have even had their own turns with her.

“Is that such a good idea?” One hunter queried sharply, “After all Alpha Hades isn’t going to be taken down easily. He’s one of the strongest Alphas in the country!”

It was never a good idea to get on Darius’s bad side. He was capable of anything if he became angry with you. The man was lucky to have simply received a punch to the jaw. It could have been much, much worse. Darius wasn’t prone to killing if somebody pissed him off enough.

“Right then, does anybody else have something to say?” Darius glowered at them all.

One by one, the hunters reluctantly shook their heads, some of them glowering at Marissa, who pretended not to see.

“Good,” Darius growled, “now, as I was saying, it’s time to take down the Blood Moon Pack for good. We have the skills; we just have to be careful. Rely more on the drugs and equipment we have rather than our combat skills. We know that silver is one of their weaknesses, and so is wolfsbane. We have to use that against them. Not to mention every pack member must be killed. No survivors. Especially,” he turned to glare at Marissa, who cringed at the look on his face, “Alpha Hades. He’s going to be the hardest to take down, but it’s not impossible.”
