Alpha Razor King-Chapter 108: Alliances.

**Razor**

"These are the alphas I told you about," Alpha Kane explained, motioning at the four men seated at the round table. They were from Jacksonville but were all acquainted with Kane.

"Hello, Alpha Razor, I’m Alpha Louis. We’ve heard great things about you," the young man said with a slight head bow.

I hummed. "Is that so? I bet you’ve also heard bad things about me," I said in a sarcastic tone, and they all laughed.

"We know you’re the strongest alpha in Upperville. You’re famous across all werewolf packs, even outside the USA," another alpha chimed in.

"Well, that’s great," I nodded. "Enough of the familiarities. Let’s get to business, shall we?"

The room fell silent as everyone shifted their focus.

"We’re here because we need your help," Alpha Louis began, his tone serious. "There are rising tensions with Upperville pack and Jacksonville packs, and we believe an alliance with you could strengthen our position."

"How so?" I asked.

Louis sighed. "We heard what happened recently about your pack..."

"Is that so?" I replied, raising an eyebrow. Louis nodded. "Then you should know I’m no longer the alpha of the Bloody Skull pack."

"We’re aware of that," another alpha chimed in. "But we all know you were at the losing end because that fucking bastard Tom had your brother."

"And now he has one of my men," I stated blandly.

"That’s why we’ve come to offer our services."

"Why? Do you have something against Tom?" I asked, twirling my blade around on the table.

"We actually do," said Louis. "For years, the packs of Jacksonville and Upperville have been living in harmony, but recently there has been some tension between both cities. Mainly because some of the packs from Upperville have started invading our city, and it’s all because of Tom."

"Exactly," the others agreed.

"It’s like there’s no rule or something, they’re just going around causing havoc," Kane added with a scornful tone.

I leaned back in my chair, considering their words. "So, you want to form an alliance to take down Tom and restore order?"

"Yes," Louis affirmed. "If we can eliminate Tom and his influence, we can reestablish peace between our territories."

"And what makes you think I trust you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"We don’t expect you to trust us right away," Louis admitted. "But actions speak louder than words. Let us prove ourselves. We have the resources and manpower to support you in reclaiming control of your pack."

Another one nodded in agreement. "We’ve seen how you handle threats, Alpha Razor. Your methods are effective, and we could benefit from your expertise."

"We’ll offer our resources, our warriors, and our loyalty," Alpha Louis added without hesitation. "Together, we can create a stronger, unified front against any threats."

I looked around the table, meeting each alpha’s gaze. "I don’t form alliances lightly. You need to prove your worth."

"We’re prepared to do whatever it takes," Alpha Louis assured me.

"Alright," I said, leaning forward. "Let’s see if you can back up your words. We’ll start with a joint operation to handle Tom. If you perform well, we’ll discuss further terms."

I stood up and walked outside together with Alpha Louis and Alpha Kane.

"It was nice meeting you today, Alpha Razor," Louis nodded. "I must say, you’re not as cruel as they claimed you to be."

Kane burst out laughing, and I had to roll my eyes at his theatrics.

"Don’t push your luck too much, Louis. You don’t know him," Kane warned.

"Don’t mind them," I scoffed. "They all act as though I’m some sort of fucking devil."

"Boss," Dean called from behind me. "There’s a situation."

"What is it?" I asked sharply.

"There have been some death sightings, sir."

I nodded, taking a deep breath.

"Is there a problem?" Alpha Kane asked.

"Another death. Let’s go check it out," I motioned for Kane and Louis to follow me.

We walked briskly, as Dean led us through the compound to a clearing where a group of my men stood soberly around a body.

"Who is it?" I asked coldly.

"It’s a rogue, sir," Dean replied, his face grim. "Found him like this , barely recognizable."

I crouched down to inspect the body. The wounds were savage, it just has to be those bastards. "This is getting out of hand," I muttered.

Louis and Kane exchanged glances."What happened to the man?" Louis asked, horrified.

"It was definitely done by those fucking creatures," I sneered.

"What creatures?" Louis raised an eyebrow, but I didn’t reply.

"It’s the enhanced werewolves, as the Mafia termed it," Kane explained.

"Wait, so the rumors were true?" Louis exclaimed in surprise. "But Damon is dead."

"Well, he is," said Kane. "But now Tom has that device, and he’s probably using it to garner strength," Louis added.

"That bastard Tom, along with his fellow fools, are trying to make themselves the strongest alphas in the USA," I groaned angrily.

Louis shook his head, still processing the information. "How did Tom get his hands on that device? And how many enhanced werewolves are we talking about here?"

"We don’t know the exact numbers yet," Kane replied. "But we do know that Tom has been recruiting and experimenting with it for some time now. He’s not just enhancing his own strength; he’s trying to build an army."

"An army that he thinks can take over the entire country," I added with a smirk. "He underestimates the other packs, but we can’t take him lightly. We need to be prepared."

Louis looked grim. "If Tom succeeds, it won’t just be our packs at risk. Every werewolf in the USA could be in danger. We need to stop him before he gets too powerful."

"Agreed," Kane nodded. "But we need a plan. We can’t just charge in without knowing what we’re up against."

"It’s not going to be easy to take that fucking bastard down," I said, clenching my fists. "He has the elders of Upperville in the palm of his hands. They probably want to enhance themselves, too. Those fucking bastards!"

"We’re here to support you, Alpha Razor," Louis offered. "We’ll do anything to stop them."

"Great," I nodded. "We just have to plan a possible attack now."

"I just wish we had some inside information about that device," said Kane.

"I think I might know someone who can help us," I said thoughtfully.

Louis and Kane looked at me with interest. "Who?" They both asked.

As Dean and I arrived at the mansion, I made my way straight to the living room. There, I saw Felicia with Nathan, and I immediately hurried over to carry him in my arms.

"Hello, my little pup," I smiled, pecking his forehead lovingly before looking at Felicia. "Where is Isabella?" I asked.

"Welcome, boss," she said, kneeling down in greeting.

"Cut to the chase, Felicia. Where is my wife?" I said briskly.

"She’s... having a bath," Felicia replied hesitantly.

"Is that so?" I wondered aloud. It was still quite early in the evening, but she probably had her reasons. I told her earlier via phone that I wouldn’t be home until later in the night. I know she’ll be surprised to see me.

"Are you hungry, sir? Do you need me to bring you your dinner?" Felicia asked.

"Not really," I told her, playing with my little boy. "Isabella will do that when she’s ready."

Nathan giggled as I bounced him gently, his innocent joy lifting my spirits. I’ll do anything to protect him, anything.

"Has he eaten yet?" I asked.

"Yes, sir, some moments ago," Felicia replied.

"Alright," I said, handing Nathan back to her. "I need to go take care of some things."

"Alright, Boss. I’ll take him to Luna." Felicia carried Nathan and was about to head up the stairs when Kelsey stopped her.

"She’s not there," Kelsey said before turning to me. "Hello, Boss." She curtseyed. "Your wife is not upstairs."

I was a bit confused. "So where is she?"

"I... think..."

"She’s probably... inside the bathroom. Maybe you didn’t notice," Felicia said nervously, making me suspicious.

"No, I’m sure of it... I saw her and Cross coming downstairs."

"Downstairs to where then?" My brow rose confused.

"I heard them saying...."

"Kelsey," Felicia scolded, eying her niece.

"Let her talk," my voice lowered dangerously.

"I heard them saying they were headed to the dungeon."

"What?" I shook my head, surprised. "I’ll just go check it out myself."

I explicitly told Isabella not to go down there without my fucking permission. I’ll be fucking pissed if I find her there. As for Cross, I can’t believe he’s already trying to mess with me despite his condition.

I made my way to the dungeon, ignoring the guards’ greetings. The dim, musty corridors seemed to close in around me as I descended the stairs, anger boiling within me.

Pushing open the heavy door, I stepped inside. My ears picked up the faint murmur of voices, confirming my worst suspicions. I quickened my pace, the echo of my footsteps growing louder.

As I rounded the final corner, I saw Isabella and Cross standing by one of the cells. Isabella’s face was tense, her eyes focused on the person inside. Cross stood beside her, his arms crossed defiantly.

"What the hell are you doing down here?" I barked, my voice reverberating off the walls.

Isabella and Cross both turned to face me, surprise and fear evident in their expressions.
