"Mummy!" Alex screamed in tears as he

　　came rushing into Achilles' office. Achilles and the others(Diana, Tony, Bella and Carter) were all startled and instantly rose to their feet to listen to the terrified child.

　　Bella immediately went forward and carried Alex in her arms.

　　"Alex, what's wrong love?" She asked frightened and Alex looked at them all, frightened.

　　"Mummy, I was taking a nap with Bella when something happened. Her body became very hot and when I spoke to her she did not respond. She tried to talk but she couldn't. Mum, she's getting worse." Alex explained in tears and immediately, both Tony and Diana bolted out of the office with Bella and Achilles following closely behind.

　　When they all arrived at little Bella's bedroom, they confirmed what Alex had just explained to be true. Little Bella was lying lifeless on the bed .

　　"Bella!" Diana screamed as she kneeled by her side and began touching her head which was burning like fire. Little Bella was sweating profusely and her mother began taking off her clothes.

　　"I need cold water and a towel." She instructed and Bella immediately disappeared into the bathroom to get them.

　　Once she was back, she damped the towel with the water and placed it on Bella's forehead.

　　Everyone else just stood at a distance and watched the two women try their best to revive the child. Diana closed her eyes and began reciting incantations, while Tony, who was tired of everything that was going on slumped on the floor and covered his face with his palms.

　　He wanted to scream at that moment, but could find his voice. The tears in his eyes broke down as he watched Diana recite spells in a language that neither of them could understand.

　　Little Bella was his only daughter and he loved her to bits. If he lost her, he would never be the same again.

　　"Word just came in from one of the pack elders, two more children just died. The subjects are gathered in the meeting hall. They want you to address them."

　　Carter announced and Achilles heaved out a heavy sigh as grief took over his soul.

　　He had lost two more pups and his niece was almost dying. Everything was going down the drain.

　　"Tony, you stay here with Diana. Carter and I will address the subjects."

　　"I'm coming with you." Tony said as he rose to his feet and led the way out of the bedroom.

　　The three men went out to address the pack members while little Alex and the women stayed behind to revive little Bella.

　　The entire pack was in shambles.

　　"Got it!" Amelia rejoiced once she opened the drawer and saw the Dagger of truth lying in it. Without wasting any more time, she shoved the Dagger in the band of her skirt which was covered by an apron.

　　Immediately, the door creaked open and she quickly, intentionally threw a book from the table to the floor before turning around to look at who just entered.

　　Once she did, she almost choked on her saliva when she saw Alpha D'argan standing by the door and giving her a suspicious look.

　　"What are you doing here?" He asked in all seriousness and Amelia swallowed dryly, but she knew she did not have to panic else he would suspect her. "Answer me!" Alpha D'argan roared, causing chills to shiver down her spine.

　　"I… I was assigned by Alma to clean your office."

　　"What then are you doing by my table?"

　　"I was about to leave when I noticed that the table was disorganized, so I decided to put things in order. When you opened the door I got so frightened and I… I…" she said as she stooped down and picked up the book she had thrown down earlier. "I mistakenly made a book fall. I'm sorry Alpha." She said, placing the book on the table with her hands panicking.

　　"Get away from that table!" Alpha D'argan ordered and she immediately did as told.

　　"I'm sorry Alpha. Please forgive me."

　　"Are you not the girl I slept with last night? The girl from the Black Wood Pack?" She asked with furrowed brows and immediately nodded with her head bowed down.

　　"I am, Alpha." She replied as she fudgited with her fingers.

　　"Go now and wait for me in my bedroom, I will join you in an hour's time. You should be naked by the time I get there. Is that clear?"

　　"Yes Alpha."

　　"Leave!" He ordered. Amelia scampered out of the office like a scared rodent and went straight to the servant quarters. Once she got into the bedroom, she was pleased to meet Alma and Tasha discussing.

　　"How did it go?" Alma asked hastily as she closed the door behind her.

　　Amelia quietly pulled the Dagger out of her waist band with a satisfied smile plastered on her face.

　　"I got it!"

　　"This is great news. You have to be on your way now!"

　　"I can't."

　　"What do you mean you can't?" Tasha asked, confused.

　　"Alpha D'argan met me in his office and instructed me to go to his bedroom. He said he'll be joining me in one hours time so I have to be there. If I'm not there, that will raise his suspicion and I cannot afford to have him suspect any of of us."

　　"So what are we going to do? We can't keep this dagger here." Tasha cried.

　　"I'll take it to your Alpha." Alma offered.

　　"What? No. That's too dangerous!" Tasha warned.

　　"But it's worth it. Amelia is right when says her absence will raise Alpha D'argan's suspicion. We can't keep the Dagger with us either. I'm the head servant and I can go anywhere I want without being questioned by anyone. I am the only one who can take the Dagger to your Alpha Without raising any suspicion." Alma expatiated and Amelia was beyond grateful for her thoughtfulness.

　　"Thank you very much, Amelia." She said handing over the Dagger to Alma. "My Alpha will be very pleased to see that you helped me."

　　"I'm doing this for all of us, it's about time that man called D'argan goes down. I'm sick and tired of his reign and I want him dead." She said bitterly and the other girls just nodded their heads in agreement.

　　Alpha D'argan had no idea the trouble that was coming his way.
