Chapter 139: The Alpha’s Calcted Strike
<b>(</b>Connor’s POV)
This day, Connor Rivers waited for a long time.
The moment to capture Frederick Warner and his remaining forces in the Northern Territory had finally arrived. I had been nning this operation for weeks, coordinating every detail with military precision.
My elite enforcers were positioned throughout the abandoned construction zone. Sniper teams upied the tallest buildings within a two–mile radius. Mercenaries I had flown in overnight from ckmoor Territory
waited in concealed positions.
Frederick’s resources in the Northern Territory were limited. Most of his forces remained in his ckmoor stronghold. This was our best chance to eliminate him and his rogues in one decisive strike.
My wolf paced restlessly as I calcted the odds. Every instinct screamed that this was the opportunity we
had been waiting for.
ording to the rescue n devised the previous night, I hoped to rescue Olivia and eliminate Frederick’s remaining rogues in one fell swoop. The n required me to risk my own life as Alpha. Failure meant death for both Olivia and myself.
But a sudden change urred that I never expected.
Frederick had sent someone to capture Grace Winters.
My eight–year–old sister–inw dangled from Derek Stone’s massive grip in the helicopter. The sight of the terrified pup made my wolf howl with protective fury.
“Save Grace… Connor, save Grace…” Olivia clutched my cor desperately, her amber eyes pleading.
Her voice was hoarse from Frederick’s earlier assault. Blood still trickled from the cut on her lip. But her concern was entirely focused on her half–sister’s safety.
My ice–blue eyes were dark and uncertain. My wolf paced restlessly within, torn between tactical necessity.
and protective instincts.
I had waited too long for this opportunity. We were now in Cloudmere, on the border of the Northern Territory.
ckmoor Territoryy just beyond the horizon.
The helicopter hovered right in front of us. If I let Frederick return to his stronghold in ckmoor Territory<b>, </b><b>it </b>would be nearly impossible to deal with him in the future.
But Frederick was using Grace as a hostage. I had to consider every option carefully.
The weight of Alpha leadership pressed down on me. Every decision could mean life or death for my <b>pack </b>
members.
I looked down and met Olivia’s pleading amber eyes. A pang of pain shot through my heart <b>as </b>my

<b>wind</b><b>, </b><b>calling </b>for her sister.
<b>Frederick </b>waited patiently, smiling at us with cruel satisfaction. He knew the sniper teams <b>outside </b>were using red dotser sights. The targeting systems improved uracy even if targets moved quickly<b>. </b>
In this situation, it was almost impossible for Frederick and his rogues to escape. He was curious <b>to </b>know
how I would choose.
In his view, sacrificing a little pup to eliminate a deadly enemy was a choice he would make without hesitation. To him, werewolf lives were never precious or worth protecting
His twisted logic made my wolf snarl with disgust.
After a long silence, I spoke. My Alpha authority was evident despite thepromise I was about <b>to </b>make.
“Release Grace, and I’ll let you go. But your rogues must stay.”
The answer seemed to surprise Frederick. But it was also reasonable given my protective nature toward <b>pack </b>
members.
Frederick smirked and pointed to Marcus Cole. “I want to take him with me.”
Marcus had been with him for many years. He was Frederick’s most capable lieutenant and the most skilled fighter besides Frederick himself.
With Marcus around, many operations could be executed efficiently without Frederick’s personal attention.
My voice was stern, my wolf growling beneath the surface. “No.”
Frederick snorted. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t mind dropping this little pup down.”
The hand clutching my cor tightened. My jaw stiffened as protective instincts warred with tactical
necessity.
After a moment, <b>I </bpromised reluctantly. “Okay.”
“Go to the top floor,” Frederickmanded and strode towards the stairs.
Five more floors up was the rooftop terrace. The helicopter followed, flying to the top floor.
In my arms, Olivia was still tightly clutching my cor. Her amber eyes filled with tension <b>and </b>worry <b>for </b>her
half–sister.
My ice–blue eyes softened. Iforted her gently, my Alpha presence trying to soothe her distress.
“Don’t be afraid, Livvy. Your sister will be fine.”
Olivia trembled slightly as she gripped my cor. When werewolves were extremely nervous and scared, <b>they </b>couldn’t control their body’s instinctive reactions.
When Olivia was fighting Frederick, she was no longer afraid of anything, not even death. But when she <b>saw </b><b>Grace</b>, her blood seemed to freeze instantly.
<b>She </b>could not be afraid of death. But she could not stand by and watch her own half–sister <b>be </b><b>brutally </b>murdered in <b>front </b>of her.
Iforted again, my voice carrying <b>the </b>reassuring rumble of my Alpha wolf. “<b>Don’t </b><b>be </b><b>afraid</b><b>, </b><b>Livvy</b><b>.</b>”
On <b>the </b>rooftop <b>terrace</b><b>, </b>the helicopter hadnded. Grace <b>was </b>still in <b>the </b><b>hands </b><b>of </b><b>Derek </b><b>Stone</b><b>, </b><b>the </b><b>massive </b>

rogue enforcer.
As we moved, the Rivers Pack Elite Guard hidden in the buildings outside also shifted their positions.
Fortunately, the building where the snipers were located was the tallest in the vicinity
This gave them optimal vantage points for the operation.
Seeing the redser dots appearing on his rogues‘ foreheads again, Frederick remained calm. His own Alpha confidence was unshaken.
He moved towards the helicopter with calcted steps.
I walked over to take the hostage, my movements careful and controlled. Every step was measured to avoid triggering Frederick’s paranoia.
Just as Frederick boarded the helicopter and I was about to touch Grace, a bullet pierced through the air. The bullet hit the helicopter’s fusge with a sharp “bang.”
The sudden change disrupted the original npletely. Both Derek Stone and I reacted quickly with supernatural werewolf reflexes.
We pulled back, increasing the distance between us.
“Territory Enforcers! Don’t move!”
At that moment, several Northern Territoryw enforcement officers appeared at <b>the </b>entrance to the terrace. Their weapons were drawn and aimed at all of us.
Instantly, Frederick’s expression turned ugly. His wolf snarled with rage at this unexpected development. “Did you f*****g call the enforcers?” Frederick turned his head sharply, ring with dangerous Alpha fury.
I was also stunned, my own wolf bristling with confusion. This was not part of my n.
“I didn’t.”
This was what I had feared most, and it had happened. Outside interference was ruining everything.
