Athena called him softly while taking slow steps toward him.

They managed to convince her at last into taking the responsibility of calming him down.She also understood the importance of it because Dominic really needed to calm down at that moment.

She didn’t know what happened that triggered him so much but she needed to stop him from adding another problem to his list by killing his own pack members.

But her voice did nothing to him at first.He didn’t move nor did he look at her.He seemed determined of whatever was going on in his head.

So, she decided to close the distance between them some more and put her right hand on his shoulder hesitantly.

That seemed to break the trance he was in and he snapped his head toward her with his eyes still holding the glare in.

She almost flinched at the ruthlessness in his eyes and that did the rest of the work to bring him out of his stance completely.

No matter what he could never ever see her being scared of him.

"Put him down, Dominic." She said in a soft and assuring tone while looking deep into his eyes.

She didn’t move her hand away from his shoulder instead it got firmer as she conveyed something through her eyes.

It worked, he slowly put the man down on his feet while still looking deep into her eyes, looking for something.

What was it? A little assurance, maybe.

But for what? She didn’t know the answer and he didn’t have the answer.

The man immediately fell on the ground as soon as he was freed from Dominic’s hold.

He coughed a little before he scurried away from Dominic.

"Everyone, go back to your work.Remember to not to do anything such ever again.Now leave."

Nathan quickly said in a strict tone.

He wanted to get these people away from there as soon as possible before Dominic loses his temper again.

They immediately started to shuffle away to leave but before they could take a step away from them, Dominic let out another growl, stopping them on their feet immediately.

"No one is going to go anywhere until I say so." He said while still looking at her.

He didn’t show any emotions even for a second in those few minutes they were looking at each other.

"Go easy on them, please."

Athena passed the request in a whispering tone as she knew that ordering or commanding an alpha when he was angry can never prove to be a good idea, Dominic tore his eyes away from her alluring eyes with a lot of difficulty before fixing them back on his people.

He kept her request.

His eyes weren’t as ruthless as before as he looked at them with his head held high.

"Do you guys realise that what you guys were trying to do was wrong?" He asked in a calm but angry tone.

The pack members looked down in shame before nodding their head at him.

"Yes, alpha."

They murmured shamefully.

"Did you guys imagine what would have happened if you had done something to her? A war would have broken out.Do you think you guys are prepared enough for a war at this moment? What would have happened then?" He asked, his tone was getting calmer every second as he wanted them to understand what they did was wrong.

And he knew shouting or getting angry at them was not going to help much.

"We apologize, alpha."

They murmured shamefully once again while looking down.

"Your apology is not going to fix everything.You guys said and claimed to do that because you guys care about me and your ‘Luna’, right?" He asked in a hard tone.

Athena looked at him immediately with a frown, noticing the change in hiş tone when he muttered ‘Luna’.

She didn’t like the way he said that.

It seemed forceful and almost meaningless to her.

What’s going on exactly?

"Yes, alpha.We would do everything for you both."

They replied with confidence.

They sounded so fearless while saying so that she was afraid for them.

"Then fine.From today onwards, your training is going to level up twice the current level.I want you all to train hard and prepare yourself for anything that might come in the future.I don’t want anyone to fall on their faces.So, tell me are you guys ready for it?" He asked in a cold and determined tone, making everyone look at him in confusion, excluding Nathan and Justin.

"Is there gonna be a war soon, alpha?" One of them asked from the crowd.

His tone wasn’t filled with fear or anything.

Rather he seemed like he wanted a confirmation to get ready with more force.

Dominic’s face went blank as soon as he heard the question.

He even stiffened a little which no one noticed but Athena and that made her frown.

She instantly knew that something was wrong and she didn’t have a good feeling about it.

But she decided not to ask him about it at that moment and kept her silence.

"We don’t know that.Rogues are unpredictable.They follow the true meaning of being animals.They only know how to cause trouble to others.They don’t care about anything.So, we need to be prepared every moment."

Nathan took up the responsibility to answer on behalf of Dominic when he noticed that he was taking too long to answer and it was going to raise unnecessary doubts into their people’s mind.

But Nathan answering instead of Dominic already did the job for Athena.

"We are ready to train double, Alpha.We will not fall weak in front of our enemies no matter what."

One of them spoke up with confidence and determination on behalf of everyone.

Athena looked at Dominic to find him looking at his people with pride.

That made her smile unknowingly as well.

It was a great sight indeed.

"That’s what I expected from you all.Now get back to your work everyone.I don’t want anything that happened today to repeat again in future.Is that clear?" Dominic asked in a serious tone and everyone nodded at him.

"YES, ALPHA."

"Alpha, we have a question."

A woman raised her hand and waited for permission to ask the next question.

"What is it?".

When are you going to mark your destined mate and announce her as our Luna?".
