Chapter Ninety Two
I couldn’t believe it. Slade hadn’t died. The same man who had ruined I and my mother’s life was still alive, and he was a part of all this.
I didn’t agree with Daemon on many things, but there was ene quote I did: ‘Justice is not real.‘ A man like Slade deserves to die in the worst way possible, yet he still lives.
“You seem a bit quiet. Still thinking about Slade?” Daemon asked as we headed to the meeting room.
“He deserved to die.”
“Yes, he does, but you don’t have to worry; he is useless without a body. The chances of things going as he planned is very low. The warlock Flynn might be powerful, but so is Logan.”
“Thank you all for joining us.” Daemon said to the Alphas gathered, some of them came along with their Beta. Daemon took a seat, and I had to sit beside him. I spotted Trent and immediately looked away; I couldn’t let ⚫ Daemon have any suspicions. I knew very well how that had ended with Regnux.
“There is a matter of importance I want to discuss with you all.” Damon began, and everyone grew silent. “For so long, many of your packs relied on our goodwill for their survival–some for ammunition, others for protection, and many for various needs. Beginning today, all of that aid will be cut off.”
“What?” I gasped. Murmurs filled the room.
“If I may speak, Alpha.” Alpha Cane requested.
“No, you may not; your input means nothing to me. Starting from this moment, all those who depend on this pack in one way or another will have to pay for it. Ten percent of your pack earnings would be sent directly to this pack; only then will you have access to anything belonging to this pack. You are dismissed.”
“But Alpha…”
“No buts.” Daemon said, silencing Alpha Zack. “I’ve passed the information; now leave, all of you.”
One thing about Alphas is that they don’t like being publicly disrespected, they had their egos to protect.
“You cannot do this.” I said to him, and he gave me a warning look, but I wouldn’t give in. I was the werewolf queen; I wouldn’t let this happen. I turned to them. “No such rule will be in place; please let me talk some sense into the King.”
There was a few nods before they all rose, bowing to Thane and then me. Trent’s eyes lingered a moment too long; he was passing a silent message. I guess this was all the confirmation he needed.
The moment they were gone, Daemon rose to his feet, pissed, and he walked away. I followed after him.
“Have you gone crazy?” I asked, but he gave no response. You are creating enemies out of them; Why the hell would you say that?”
He grabbed me, dragging me into the next empty room. He pushed me hard, and I fell to the ground.
Looking up, I noticed a man standing before me; he was huge, with pure white hair and completely black eyes. He was the scariest and most imposing creature I had ever seen. I knew who he was even by a single glance. This was Vox, the Demon Overlord, and he was in this pack.

He walked past me like I wasn’t even there.
“Did you do as I told you?” he asked Daemon, his voice calm and yet threatening.
“I did.”
“And they agreed to it?”
Daemon’s eyes met mine. “I’ll need more time.“”
“So what did go wrong?” Vox asked. His gaze following Daemon’s to find me. “She was the problem?”
“No.” Daemon said to my absolute surprise. “I was, forgive me, Vox. I will not fail you again.”
“Take care of her and put her in her place. She is of no use to me.”
Daemon nodded.
But I wouldn’t take any more of this; he could be the Demon Overlord, but I was the Werewolf Queen, and this was my pack; he was the intruder, not the other way around.
