Alex stepped out of the Lear jet to smell the air, the chill was setting in and in a few hours they would need to go. It would take him thirty minutes to get to the farm form here.

The plan was simple. Take the choppers in land in front of the house, launch an offensive, get his target and get out. Of course execution of the said plan would be a whole different ballgame, Alex worried about the million things that could go wrong.

His men were armed, had Kevlar armors and IR visions, they would go in as human form and not as wolves so they needed to rely on technology. Luckily Sebastian managed to get hold of two choppers and he could fit in a team of twenty. Half of them would storm the house and the other half would secure the parameter so his target would not escape.

He stepped out of the plane and on to the tarmac and pulled out his phone, he promised he would keep sending Evelyn updates, he knew how worried she was. Yesterday he had a glimpse of the old Evelyn, she was there somewhere under all that guilt and weight of responsibility.

Goddamn Max! He cursed him a millionth time, it was fucking time he got off the coma and took charge before the girl cracked completely. But now could he take charge? The whole thing just snowballed in to one large clusterfuck!

Roma transferred powers to Evelyn in the process tricking Evelyn in killing her. Fuck! How twisted was that and how would Max react, waking up and learning that your mate killed your mother. On top of that she took his title as well, the title of Roma which belonged to him by birth was now his mates and there was no return policy on this shit. Evelyn and after her one of her children would ascend to the throne unless Max decides to kill her to get his title back, which was unlikely.

Max was sure going to get fucked up once he woke up. He would feel a stranger in his own house. One more thing to worry about. He shook his head to pull himself out of his thoughts and pulled out his phone and messaged Evelyn. Time to go back in to the airplane and finalize the plan. His whole team stayed back in the plane to be inconspicuous.

***

The men went through the plan one last time. Everyone loaded up their weapons and gear and in a neat file stepped out of the plane, on to the tarmac towards where the two choppers were located, Alex followed them and waited as they were packing themselves in to the choppers.

He looked at the time 11:30 PM. He pulled out the phone and typed out a message "it's begun"

Once done he pocketed the phone he stepped in to the chopper and ordered out "let's roll"

***

Evelyn's phone vibrated and she picked it up to read Alex's message and just as she was reading Sebastian walked in to her room "it's time" he told her, they needed to move to the Council meeting.

"Let's go" She told him and as they were walking out of the house she told him "Alex messaged, its begun"

"Good" Sebastian said "perfect timing, by the time the operation is under way we will well be in the council meeting"

As they sat in the car Sebastian pulled out something and gave it to her.

She looked down, it was a gun and she looked back at him.

"Silver bullets"

She silently nodded and took the gun and started putting it in the bag.

"No" Sebastian said "keep it on you"

She slipped it in to one of the pockets of her dress, the dress had enough layers to conceal the gun on her.

"Five minutes away from target, get ready boys, this will be a fast landing" The pilot warned.

Everyone held to their guns tight. The choppers were nonmilitary ones. So you could not rappel down from a rope, you needed the chopper to land and that wasted precious minutes but there was little they could do anything about it. So they waited holding their guns tight.

The plan was the choppers would pass over the farm once to get a visual of their landing locations. Good thing was the there was a lot of open space around the house and the plan was to have one land in front of the house and the other behind.

They flew over the house in a pretty high altitude not to arouse suspicion and then circled around.

"Approaching target" The pilot informed.

"Commencing decent" He added a moment later.

They descended rapidly and landed pretty hard. The rotors was in full speed and once the cargo vacated they would take off so the choppers would not be caught in the cross fight.

"Go.Go.Go" The pilot commanded.

Doors were thrown open and the men piled out. The guards surrounding the house were so confused seeing a chopper land in the front yard that they were just staring dumbfounded. Confused as to what the hell was happening.

The first few shots took the guards totally by surprise. The other guards had time for their self-preservation to kick in to jump behind whatever they could find to take cover.

The second chopper landed a moment later in the backyard and men piled out. Alex was in this chopper.

The men from second chopper started forming a perimeter across the house as the men from the first chopper started towards the house. Both choppers now took off and were circling at a safe distance.

Ales stood in the backyard as wolves from all sides of the farm started rushing towards the house. Men wore their IR glasses and could make out the shapes in the farm and promptly fired.

Shots could be hear from inside the house and a lot of yelling. Suddenly one of the windows of the top floor broke and one of his men were thrown out. Throat slashed, blood spilling. A moment later an enraged wolf leaped out of the window its jaws wide open targeting Alex's neck.

Alex pulled out a gun and fired point blank at it as the wolf slammed in to him taking them both down.

Alex lost his bearings for a moment he was on the ground with something incredibly heavy on him and he looked around to find his gun lying a few feet away. As he tried to push the body of the dead wolf off him, he heard a wild snarling behind his head, he looked up and saw a wolf forting at its mouth leap at him. Fuck!

A Moment later its head exploded in a pool of blood and mush and it splattered across Alex's face and the body of that wolf with its head missing fell on him as well.

"Fuck!" he muttered, spitting some of the goo from his mouth and someone rushed over and pushed the bodies of the wolves of him.

"Are you all right sir?" one of the soldiers asked.

"Yeah, good shot" he said to the soldier who saved his neck by taking out the second wolf.

The soldier beamed "Thanks boss" The soldier picked Alex's gun and handed it over to him and went back to take position and started firing at something.

The noises from the house subsided as the firing slowed and then fell silent.

Even on the outside bodies were piled around the house, the guards protecting the house had been taken out and there was no more resistance being offered. But the men did not let their guard down and held their positions on the perimeter, their guns pointed to the silent corn fields and their fingers on the trigger.

Eventually one of the men came out of the house, his face covered in blood as well.

"Status" Alex asked.

"Bastards put one hell of a fight" The man told him. "We lost two men and Reno there as well" he said pointing to the dead body of the soldier who had been flung out of the window earlier. "Total three casualties, but we fucked them up good." There were at least fifty bodies in and outside the house.

"And the girl?"

"We found her in her bedroom, apparently she went to bed when we attacked and she surrendered quietly and did not put up a fight. We moved her downstairs in to the dining room" He informed.

"Okay" Alex said thinking about the part he had to do now. He was hoping the girl would be killed in the crossfire or put up a fight and be taken down but she surrendered quietly. Uncharacteristic for a Lockbourne, maybe the fruit did fall far from the tree with this one, that's why Lockbourne tucked her far away from the heartland of his power.

"All right, let's do this" Alex told him and the man started to lead him in to the house. As he walked behind his man Alex checked his gun and found it working, one bullet would do the job and the pulled out his phone, time to let Roma know.

***

The convoy of Roma was snaking its way to the council's location, they were in a pretty secluded road. Both Sebastian and Evelyn were lost in their own thoughts sitting next to each other when the silence was broken by her phone vibrating. She read the message o the screen from Alex and pressed the power button on the phone to cut the light on the screen. She did not want to stare at the message longer then she had to.

"It's done" Roma said repeating the message from Alex.

She did not have to explain further what it meant. Serena Lockbourne was dead.

Both of them sat in a moment of silence absorbing the news when Sebastian turned to look at her.

"Roma I..." he never finished the sentence as the cabin of the car was suddenly illuminated with light...light from the outside. He squinted his eyes to see out of window to see two strong headlights fast approaching.

"ROMA!!" Sebastian yelled and dived at her to cover her body with his.

As a truck barreled across and slammed in to the side of their car, a perfect T-bone collision. On impact the car cartwheeled sideways a few time and finally coming to stop once slamming in to a tree upside down.
