Chapter 623 

Third Person POV 

2 weeks earlier (The day Judy arrives in Redcliff) 

“Do you really think this is a good idea, Alpha?” Bela Ron asked, looking across the desk and at Levi, who was grinning at the computer. His excitement was evident, and it gave an eerie feeling to the room. “Judy is smart, she will figure out that something is wrong. You are underestimating her abilities. You saw what she’s capable of during the competition.” 

Levi’s smile faltered for a moment as he peered up at his Beta. 

“I didn’t ask for your opinion,” he said through his teeth, his darkness radiating off him in waves, making Ron feel uneasy. He had been working for Alpha Levi for years, and in most cases, he trusted Levi. He didn’t think Alpha Levi would ever actually cause him harm, but Levi was also unpredictable, and there was no telling what he’d do to his own Beta. Ron wasn’t in any position to risk it, so biting his tongue was his best option. 

That and doing what he’s told. 

But in this case, it felt cruel even for Alpha 

“I understand, Alpha. I apologize,” Ron said, lowering his gaze. 

“It’s just a useless pack. The Redcliff doesn’t contribute to the overall function of my territory. They are dead weight…” 

“One of the Elite Gamma bases is in Redcliff,” Ron reminded him without thinking. 

“Yes, and they are the weaker of them,” Le countered. “I have 4 more active bases around my territory; they are strong and true fighters. Only the best of the best… Redcliff holds the duds. Nothing ever goes on in that pack. Precisely why I haven’t been there in years, and when a visit is necessary, I send you. It would just be easier if that pack didn’t exist.” 

“Then why send Judy there?” Ron asked. “You were desperate to have her on your Elite force.” 

“I was desperate to get her out of Gavin’s territory,” Levi corrected him, his tone sharp. “With her gone, Gavin is weakened. Now with this next plan, he’ll be distracted. Perfect opportunity for my takeover.” 

Ron was quiet for a long while as he processed his words. He’s known of Levi’s planning for a long time, and at first, he was on board, but since involving his family, he started to have second thoughts. 

He knew having Levi speak to his nephew would end badly. 

It was his nephew who helped the rogues into the territory, causing mayhem and so many deaths of innocent lives. With this threat on Levi’s territory, it was brought up with the council, where their concern for their own territories was evident. 

Ron was at that meeting, and the moment Gavin heard about the random rogue attacks, it was clear he was on edge. Even more so than he was when he first walked into the meeting, looking all disheveled like he hadn’t slept in weeks. 

He was vocal when voicing his concerns; Ron was surprised when levi granted him permission to enter his territory to figure out the cause of this threat, considering Gavin has better and stronger resources that could get the job done. 

But really, it’s all just a distraction. 

Everything planned is to distract Gavin and to hit him where it really hurts. Over the last couple of years of spy…g, Levi realized that Gavin doesn’t have a lot of important things or people in his life. None that he truly cares for. 

He cares for his children, but that was it. His kids were so protected that it was difficult to get near him, even with spies. 

But then Levi found out about Judy… or maybe Judy had just come into the picture. But Gavin’s world shifted from that point on… it was clear who his real priority was… it was clear who mattered the most to him, besides his children. 

Levi wanted so desperately to take that little piece of joy away from him. To hit him where it truly hurt. Ron didn’t think much of it until he got the vulnerability of his family involved.
