Chapter 139: A Bloody Case Caused by a Message
[Ad’s P.O.V.]
Patrick left us in the office as he stepped out for a moment.
When he came back, he asked me to follow him to find Alpha. On the way, he gave me something and briefly told me what he would do later.
“To be honest, even though I’m a man, my heart is pounding right now,” I told him.
“Me too.” He was on the same page.
We soon arrived at the door to Alpha’s room and saw light coming through the crack in the door. He was in.
Patrick knocked on the door. As soon as it opened, he rushed in and punched the person who had opened the door hard in the face.
I saw Alpha staggering from Patrick’s punch. I still called him Alpha because we haven’t found out the final truth yet. And although Patrick’s punch was very strong, the true Alpha would be strong enough to hold his ground against it. The ‘Alpha’ before us managed to steady himself, but blood dripped from his nose.
“Patrick, are you f*cking crazy?” He roared at Beta in his Alpha voice, but Beta was not afraid at all. Instead, the latter was tempted to provoke ‘Alpha’ even more.
“I don’t think you’re suitable to be an Alpha anymore. You should give up your position to me.”
When Patrick said this, an incredulous expression appeared on Alpha’s face.
“Are you f*cking plotting a rebellion?”
“This isn’t a rebellion. You’ve already changed. You chased out Luna, made a bunch of ridiculous reforms to the system, and even questioned the relationship arranged by the moon goddess! “You don’t deserve to be the Alpha of Sunset Pack anymore.”
“Looks like that b*tch has bewitched you quite a bit.” Alpha sneered. I knew he was referring to Luna so this sentence made me very uncomfortable.

Within another second, Alpha received another punch. This time, I saw saliva fly out of his mouth. I was surprised that he didn’t dodge Patrick’s punch. Alpha receiving a punch from Patrick was something that would never have happened. Alpha had always been the best in speed, endurance, and strength training. But now he was being beaten up by Patrick.
“This punch is for Luna.” Patrick stood there firmly. I felt that he would strike again at any moment.
“You’re all crazy! Ad! Call the guards!” Alpha turned to me but I just stood there without moving. I knew that this was a gamble. If we lost, Patrick and I would most likely be expelled from the pack. We might even be sentenced to death for assaulting Alpha. But I was still prepared for the consequences.
“Alpha, this is between two men. If you can’t even beat Patrick, I don’t think you’re fit to be an Alpha anymore.”
Yes, I was egging him on, egging him on to fight. In the past, Alpha would knock us all to the ground during training only to reach out his hand to pull his brothers back up. This was what I was expecting of him, but he simply continued to scream at us.
“How dare you do this to me! I’ll execute you for attacking the packs’ Alpha!”
“Coward. Looks like you’ll have to step aside.”
Patrick gave him a contemptuous smile. And sure enough, this sentence made Alpha pounce on him only to miss. He rushed toward Patrick for the second time but Patrick simply dodged his attack. ‘Alpha’s’ attacks were a little clumsy and his punches and kicks were so uncoordinated.
“If you can’t kill me today, then tonight will be the day you die.”
When Patrick finished saying this, he transformed into his wolf Lucifer. It walked back and forth in front of him, baring its teeth. Its fur stood on end as it provoked ‘Alpha’. Lucifer couldn’t wait to pounce on the man trembling before him.
“Alpha! Only Champion can protect you!”
I shouted out with my last bit of rationality. Everyone knew that Patrick was the most capable man in the pack after Alpha and Dylan. And I agreed. If ‘Alpha’ was able to turn into Champion, he would prove all of us wrong and I would have to clean up the bloody mess before getting expelled. Between Champion and Lucifer, the former would win any fight against the latter 99% of the time, the 1% being sheer luck or other external factors.
I saw ‘Alpha’s’ eyes turned black before he struck back but in his human form.
Lucifer started to ram him and ‘Alpha’ kept falling over. Lucifer most likely wouldn’t hurt him fatally, but ‘Alpha’ was looking pretty miserable. Blood poured out of his nose and mouth as he continued to fight back clumsily
I didn’t understand why he didn’t want to turn into Champion even in the face of possible death. Maybe Patrick was right. He wouldn’t because his wolf wasn’t Champion.
As Alpha kept getting knocked down, he started to feel exhausted. Despite his strong build, he was now just a big, clumsy man, against a ferocious wolf more than ten feet long. He was completely at a disadvantage.
I saw Lucifer give me a look and I immediately walked over to Alpha.
As I pretended to help him up, I stuck the needle that had been in my hand behind my back into Alpha’s waist.
“How dare you rebel! I will execute you...”
The anesthetic quickly took effect. His eyes rolled before he passed out. I gave an emergency order and the guards immediately cleared the castle of non-ranked members as well as the servants. They had been instructed to remain silently in their rooms until further orders.
Once the arrangements had been made, Patrick and I carried the unconscious ‘Alpha’ to the dungeon silently. Whatever had just happened gave me a heavy heart.
We had just caused a bloodbath simply based on a text message. I hope we won the bet.
