A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407
Maleah’s p.o.v.

It isn’t difficult to tell that Mack is upset with Mother’s message and I tangle my hand in his hair to pull him closer to me, allowing him to inhale my scent. His arms wrap around my waist and I feel him relaxing in my arms, damn what will it be like when our bond is completely formed. “At this raid our bond will be complete in a few days and we will be marked before we have to attend that funeral.” Fortune says and I smile at her as she looks at me with a smug look in her eyes.

There is no reason, I can think of, for me to attend Diablo’s funeral and I can’t find one as to why Mother wants me to attend. If Diablo had planned on forcefully marking me he would have been in for a surprise and seeing the fact I never met him or his Father I don’t understand why Mother wants me to be there. I send her a message asking that same question and her reply makes Fortune lose her shit, nearly forcing a shift.

“Calm down, Angel.” Mack says as his hands start moving up and down my back and Fortune calms down enough for me to get control back. “Mother says that Alpha Bradley wants me to be present at the funeral, he wants us to show that we are a family and he wants us to say goodbye to Diablo as a family.” I tell Mack as I lean my head against his chest, I need him as much as he needed me a little while ago. “I will be going with you.” He says and I know there is no point in arguing with him.

Hell, I don’t even want to argue with him about it. I want him to come with me and I don’t care if Mother agrees with it or not, I would have asked him to come with me if we weren’t Mates. Normally every Alpha gets an invitation to the funeral of a high-ranking Wolf or Lycan and if one gets send here my Alphas will be right there with me and Mack.

“What will you do with your assignment now?” Elyse asks. “I will carry it out in due time. Alpha Bradley will be looking over his shoulder for a long time and I will patiently wait until he relaxes again. When that day arrives I will start planning on taking him out, I can be very patient if I have to and for some assignments I have waited for years to take down my target. My clients are aware of the fact that I determine when the target dies and I have never failed them.” I answer her.

“Do you really think Alpha Bradley put a price on our head?” Fortune asks and I start laughing out loud, “Sorry, Harvey is an idiot.” I say before I calm myself down enough to explain my remark. “If Alpha Bradley asked for my head, what would be the most logical thing for me to do?” I ask no one in particular and one after the other starts shaking their head, “You would go after him.” Elyse says and I tell her she is correct, I would go after him for more than one reason.

“I doubt he put that price on my head, because it would mean I would go after him and not just for the crimes he committed. He isn’t a good businessman, but he isn’t stupid. I think someone spread the rumor he ordered the hit and I have an idea who that might be, someone that knows I am coming for him as well. This might be an attempt to get me off his back or he really hopes someone can find out my identity and kill me, solving his problem.” I explain.

I know there are multiple Wolves and Lycans out there that fear I might come for them, some of them might be smart enough to spread this rumor and will hope that someone will be able to catch me. There are also enough Wolves and Lycans out there that know with certainty that I will be coming for them, but none of them knows when I will decide their time is up. This price on my head will not stop me from carrying out my assignments, I will give my clients justice.
