Eric's POV

Meanwhile...

Why, Tauren Knox, why?

Why can't you have just died in your mother's womb before you and my best friend came into this world?

At least you'd been given a proper burial and free us from your presence as the bad-luck penny in the strongest pack of the Sooner State.

But no.

You had to be born an Omega who can't shift or have any instincts like a normal werewolf. Such a fucking shame that things had to come down to this.

Even now, you seem to live longer than the cockroaches. At least they have purpose in life. You? You are lower than the bugs that I crunch under my boots or the rogues that I slaughter every single day.

"It's fucking nuts to see that runt still alive," Trenton complained as he and his girlfriend Raelynne Slater (the daughter of one of the Gammas and one of the followers of that runt) joined me and my girlfriend Liz (the pack's designated good-time girl) came into my bedroom. "No matter how much food that you've instructed our loyal members of the pack gave him, he's still alive and kicking!"

"Maybe he's immune to the wolfsbane and rat poison," Raelynne suggested.

Liz gave her best friend a confused glare. "No way," she scoffed. "No one other than the kings and queens of the supernatural are immune to those poisons."

"That's right," I commented. "It must be because of my sisters, Anissa, and the ones who side with my parents. And don't get me started on Deveraux and his family who made themselves known earlier."

"Will that seer give us his blessing to be mated?" my girlfriend asked me. "You know that I can't be your Luna until I have all the support from him, his family, and the Elders."

"He will if he knows what's good for him," Trenton replied tersely, crossing his arms. "I don't care if he's marked by all of the supernatural deities and he's the mayor's kid. I won't hesitate to shift into my wolf and shred him and his clan to bits."

"At ease," I ordered my newly-ordained Beta. "We still have my birthday to get through tomorrow. Once I get the title of Alpha, I'll have your brother executed and I'll make sure that his remains are tossed into the Red River so the alligators will gladly eat him after I take out his heart and eat it as my wedding cake with Liz."

"What about the followers?" Raelynne wanted to know. "They'll accuse you of anarchy."

"They'll be given until the day after tomorrow to leave this pack and never return or else I'll kill them and do the same to them," I vowed vehemently. "And if it turns out that Artemis is that sick in the head to pair me with that runt of an Omega, I'll gladly reject him and slash his throat."

Liz purred, her eyes flashing gold to show that her wolf was purring in desire as her human side was in agreement. "I do love a power-hungry Alpha who hates Omegas," she teased.

"Damn right," I drawled, pulling her in for a kiss. "Once we get rid of Tauren and his allies- my parents included, our pack will be known as the bloodthirsty and heartless pack of all the world. There will be no room for weakness and any rogues, loners, and Omegas will meet a lethal fate if they approach this pack."

"To the new era!" Trenton cheered, pulling Raelynne closer. "Tomorrow morning and afternoon is when my brother has his last hours of peace before he meets his end! And after that, we will soon take over the pack...and then, the world! To the death of Tauren Knox! To Eric, my Alpha!"

We all cheered before losing ourselves in a late night of wicked passions. Enjoy your last moments of happiness, Tauren. Because tomorrow night when I get the Alpha title is when your pathetic life ends by my hands and I will have your carcass as part of my immediate nuptials to Liz.

Everything is soon falling into place. After tomorrow night, there would be no going back.

The stage is set for what will be the epitome of this storyline! Coming up next, Tauren calmly prepares himself while saying a final farewell to his allies. And then, folks, the ultimate heartbreak and death of Tauren Knox takes place! You better believe that you're  going to want tissues for the last four chapters of act one as they will be tearjerkers and will make you pissed off at Eric and his followers! Fasten your seatbelts and prepare yourselves, gentle readers, because the butterfly effect is soon to begin!
