Dangerous Desires

Chapter 121

121 Stubborn But Deep

Tia.

We watched the helicopter lift into the air and leave. Kimberly had tears in her eyes, but I wasn't going to shed a tear. I knew they would be returning home, I was going to make sure of it. The moment the Helicopter was out of sight, we went back into the building.

"So what will we do now? " Stacy asked me, and I looked at her. I wasn't still comfortable discussing things in front of Tasha. It wasn't that I did not trust her, but I did not want to say anything that would make her panic.

"We will protect the city as instructed," I told Stacy and then linked her.

"Let Kimberly and Tasha go home, and then we can discuss our next line of action. Meanwhile, call our women to gather at the second base arsenal. There are weapons for all of us there, and I have a plan." I said, and she looked at Kimberly and Tasha.

"You two should run along. We will be at the headquarters. Make sure you go to the bunker the moment you get home. Bart and Norman know the drill. All of you, along with the nannies, are to go there. The estate must be empty." She ordered, and Kimberly nodded and looked at me.

"Ido not think you should be leading the city protection in your condition Tia," she said, and I smiled at her.

"Thank you for the advice, Kim. I promise to be careful." I told her, and she nodded.

They left while Stacy and I went to Lukes's office in the headquarters.

When we went in, Stacy asked me what my actual plan was.

"So, what are we going to do?" She asked, and I smiled at her. She sat on the chair in front of the desk, and I sat on the one behind the desk. I turned on the computer and looked at her.

"I am going to make sure Regan loses more support by informing the Alpha of Santa Braee what happened to his vessel on the sea," I said, and Stacy smiled wide-eyed.

"Meanwhile, call the women to gather at the base, " I instructed, and she nodded.

"I should have known better than to antagonise you, Tia, you are one ruthless woman, and I like it, " she said, grinning from ear to ear.

A soldier brought some files and helped me scan them onto the computer in the office. I collected the Alpha's phone number from him and dismissed him.

Stacy sat on the chair opposite my desk. She took out her phone, and I knew she was reaching out to Amanda, Renee, Susy and Olivia. I smiled at her and nodded.

I dialled the number given to me. I did not know the man's name, so I knew our conversation would be awkward.

"Hello," A deep voice said on the other end.

"Am I speaking with the Alpha of Santa Braee?" I asked, and he paused a while, then answered.

"Yes, who is this?" He asked with a very formal tone.

"My name is Tia Lockwood Moon; I am the Luna of Woodclaw. I call in peace," I said quickly so he won't hang up. He was silent for almost ten seconds, and then he spoke up.

"How may I help you?" He finally asked, and I took a deep breath.

"I want to inform you that you are helping the wrong person. We know of the assistance you have rendered Tom Regan Adhit, also known as Luis Moon. Be assured that we do not take offence as we want to believe you have been misinformed. I am calling to allow you to redeem yourself." I said, and he began to laugh.

"Little girl, don't threaten me." He said.

'I am not threatening you, Sir. I am helping you. See, if you help Regan succeed and he is done with us, he will come for you." I said, and he was silent.

"You can't convince me to withdraw my support, Little girl. In fact, you are more stupid than I expected." He said to me, laughing.

"I have not insulted you, Alpha; I advise you to watch your language. I did not call to ask you to help us. I am calling to inform you about what happened to your vessel loaded with weapons on the high sea." I said, and he was silent for a very long time.

"You bitch. If I catch you," he said, and I shut him up.

"I never said we did anything to it, but I know who did, and I have proof. In exchange, you have to help us bring Regan down because I know you are on our Island as we speak," I said, and he was silent.

"I am sending you some documents and video confessions of people that know what happened. If you feel the confessions are doctored, the documents will help clarify. You can also run your investigations

to verify our claims." I said

"Tell me what is on the documents, and then send it," he said, trying to sound unaffected by my words.

"Tom Regan Adhit asked you for weapons to take us down, and you refused to render that help. He knew you were having a shipment coming in by sea, so he intercepted it as a pirate and loaded it onto his vessel parked at our port in Dome." I said, and he was silent.

"You are lying.." The man said, sounding very angry and irritated.

"Do not take my word for it, Alpha. Go through the documents and confessions. I also implore you to do some research. Once you are satisfied, you know what to do. I will send you the coordinates of where Regan will be two days from now. You can pay him back for his treachery there." I said, and he remained silent, which meant he was considering it. I sent the documents to him along with the coordinates and then hung up.

"You have guts, Tia," Stacy commanded, and I smiled at her.

"The women are on their way Tia, what do we do? " She asked me, and I smiled.

"We are going to Neev," I said, and she gasped.

"But Luke said.." She tried to protest, and I interrupted her.

"Forget about what Luke said. I am my own person. I do not take orders. I do not trust Regan to be fair, and three hundred men might not be enough to do shit there." I said to her, and she shook her head.

"What about the city. What if they attack, and we are not here. The Military personnel here are not enough to withstand an attack." She pointed out, and I laughed.

"You actually bought what Luke said about protecting the City?" I asked her, and she looked confused.

"Look at me, Stacy. Do you think Luke will ask me to protect the city if he believes there will be an attack here?" I asked, and her eyes widened with realisation.

" I don't think so," I said.

"We are going to arm ourselves and go there. I might not shift, but I will be there with ammunition and protective gear. I do not intend to die and do not plan to become a widow." I said, and she beamed at me.

"I have called the women, and they are on their way. They will be excited if they know we are going to Neev." She said, and I smiled at her.

I called Tristan back to the office. He was the Kappa in charge while every higher ranking officer had left to Neev.

"Tristan, I want you to gather people with arms to protect the city. The Woodclaw citizens that signed up will be good candidates, but make sure they can fight. Do not give anyone weapons but give them protective gears; we do not want surprises." I said, and he nodded.

"While you are at it, organise road transportation that will be good enough to transport three hundred and eleven people to Neev. I want it to be unobtrusive. No one should know we are moving to Neev." I said, and He nodded and left the office.

"You are serious about this, Tia?" Stacy said, and I smiled at her.

"Of course I am. I do not know about you, but I want to be there for the action." I said, and Stacy shook her head.

"Luke will be mad, Tia. He has a temper like his father. He will be mad." She said, and I smiled at her because I knew that part of Luke, but he had never crossed that line with me.

"Do not bother about that," I said to her, and she smiled at me.

"I guess we are going to have fun. I am not good with combat, but I know a thing or two. I was part of Olivia's underground fight club. I used to go there secretly. One day, Aesop accused me of having an affair. He had been talking about it, and this time he was serious. He kicked me out for it. It was really explosive, so explosive that I went back home to Neev. I was mad at him for not trusting me, and I wanted it to be over, but my mother forced me to come back to Woodclaw and beg him. I quit immediately and started sitting at home." She explained, and I felt terrible for her. Aesop must have been a handful.

We stayed for a while in the office, and when the women had finally gathered in the base, Stacy and I went to address them.

When we got to the base, I noticed they all looked excited. They were just as eager as I was to show off their skills. This will be their first true mission and their first battle. They were bound to be excited.

"Good afternoon, ladies!" Stacy addressed them. They cheered her and their leaders came to stand with us. "It is an honour to have you all here today, and I know we are all eager for an adventure, so I will hand it over to our young Luna, Tia. To address us." She said, giving me the floor to speak. The women cheered, and I was happy we gathered them.

"Thankyou all for honouring our invite and teaming up with us. We are truly in your debt." I began, and they cheered.

"By now, you all know who we are up against. He has finally shown himself, and we know him." I said, and there was silence. I could feel their anger seething through. They hated Regan, and it must be for a good reason.

"I know he has wronged most of us, Tried to kill us, humiliate us, use us, name it. He has committed all forms of atrocities. He built his wealth and empire using young women. Today our Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta left for Neev to observe the one-on-one combat between Alpha Aesop and Regan, but we know Regan is sly, and he won't fight fair. My husband told me to remain and hold the city, but we are soldiers. We do not sit and look pretty while our men are on the battlefield. We will lend our support and make sure they win." I said, and they cheered loudly, celebrating my words. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"We will go to Neev, and if Regan tries to be smart, we will be there to cut him down," I said, and they cheered.

"I want him to die slowly and painfully. I want him to feel the pain he inflicted on others for years, or else it won't be worth it. You all have fought underground for years now; it is time to show what you are worth and that you aren't just a pretty face for pleasure. We are strong women with backbones and we are champions! I want us to go to Neev and let Woodclaw know what they are missing by refusing us in the ranks. I want them to see and feel our might!" I said, and they cheered. They were elated, and I could feel their joy.

"We will go in disguise and hide about Neev. The fight is in two days, so we will leave tomorrow in the morning. Hopefully, we will get there on time for the action. The ammunition here is for all of you. Go through them today and select what you are most comfortable with. That will be your weapon ." I said, and someone raised her hand to speak.

"Will you be fighting with us, Luna?" She asked, and I smiled and rubbed my bump.

"I will be wearing a protective vest. I might not be able to shift fully, So I will fight with weapons." I said, and they cheered and began to hail, shouting my name.

"Tia! Tia! Tia!" They hailed, and I looked at Stacy. She was hailing too. There was fire in all their eyes, and I knew we won't go wrong. If Regan chooses to be funny, we will be there to lend a hand. Hopefully, The Alpha of Santa Braee will pull his support from Regan.
