Dylan's POV
"Dylan, I don't think this is a very good idea. I think you need to think this through first. It could backfire, especially since we don't have a definite plan."
I paused a bit, trying to make it seem like I was giving thought to everything that Johnny said but I wasn't. I was Dylan, the true heir of the Blue Moon Pack and I did only what I felt was good. Besides, I was much smarter than both he and the messenger standing by his side.
"You're right, Johnny," I smirked. "We don't have any plans at all, but I do. I have a well-thought-out plan and in due time, I'll let y'all in on that but not yet. It'll ruin the surprise and the fun that comes with it. That wouldn't be fair, would it?"
"But…"
I glared at him and he immediately stopped talking. He was beginning to get on my nerves. I hated his recent habit of challenging my decisions. He must have thought that he was better or smarter than me, simply because I chose to give heed to his counsel. I didn't like that at all, especially because he wasn't.
"This is the best thing to do and you know it. For how long do you want us to stay silent? It was you who came to tell me that they know where we are. If they are aware of our location, for how long must we keep mute?"
"For as long as we can, Dylan," he replied. I sensed a bit of anger in his voice. "We can't invite a problem that we're not capable of handling at the moment. We need to lay low for now as we keep drawing our plans so that when we do attack them, they won't know what hit them. I thought this was our plan all along."
"Indeed, it was, but plans change, don't they?" I chuckled. "We can't afford to fight the Blue Moon Pack on a neutral basis. As much as we have help from the Rogue Alpha, we both know that it'll take more than that to defeat the Pack. That is why I need to send a message to them. I need to send a warning; something to put fear in them. We need fear on our side. Every great warlord will always tell anyone who cares to hear that the greatest ally isn't your fellow warriors from neighbouring Packs, but fear. With fear on our side, there'll be no stopping us at all. I need you to see that, Johnny."
"Is sending a message to your father the best way you know to put fear in their minds?"
"Do you know any better alternative?" I asked, and as I expected, there was no response. "Good. Let me do my thing then."
I turned to the messenger whom I had asked to get writing material so he could write the letter as I said the words to him. "Are you ready?" I asked him, very keen to pour out the words as they lined up in my mind.
"Yes, sir. I am."
"Father, I need you to know that I still love and care about you and whatever it is that is about to happen has nothing to do with me. You and your son, Alex have brought this upon yourselves and I have no choice but to do what I'm about to do.
In a few days, I'll be coming to the Pack to visit you. We'll have a good old family reunion. I hope to see my sweet mother so I can kiss her. I'm sure she'd be very happy to see me. I hope you would too, my dear father.
I've made new friends too; quite a number of them. You know, I'm not as lonely as you might have thought I am. I can assure you that they'll be coming over with me so I can properly introduce them to the family. I do hope you'd be ready to receive us. It should be a fast reunion and it'll end in my long-awaited coronation as the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.
I hope some people wouldn't have to give their lives to the cause. I'd love to avoid it at all costs. I just want to pay you a friendly visit. Expect me in no distant time and always be ready. I could just be behind you, right now, dad. Who knows?"
As soon as he wrote the last word and turned to look at me, Sophia appeared from nowhere, walking into the room with confident strides.
"You can leave now. I need to have some time alone with her," I said to Johnny and the messenger who immediately left the room.
"What was the discussion about, Dylan?" She asked, as soon as she got close to me.
I kissed her lightly on the lips and it felt so good. "Can we take a stroll?" I asked, offering her my hand.
She nodded and grabbed my hand as we walked out of the room.
