The Abused Luna's Comeback-Chapter 211 - 211 Final Preparations

211 Final Preparations

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

That d*mned b*stard had already arrived. He was nearby. I updated the council as soon as I could and made sure that the information arrived at their ears in the shortest possible time.

After the council had decided to capture Nicholas, my father and I went to the council’s headquarters again to discuss whether, once he had found my mate and came to my pack to take her, we should capture him upon sight or wait for him to go back and catch him when he had his guard down?

It was finally decided that we would act on the latter.

This was because we didn’t know how many people he would bring when he arrived, whether his possible accomplices would come with him, and we couldn’t be sure when he would show up. The second reason was that the council and I wanted to minimize the casualties among Sunset Pack so we decided to move the battlefield.

I suspected that his arrival might be a surprise, which would have a significant negative impact on the time and efficiency of the various groups gathering their elite warriors to fight. But, thanks to the moon goddess, Mona got the hint before he made his move. The higher Power must be on our side. So, our plans would go forward as planned.

After making sure Mona was okay, I quickly gathered the ranked members and asked them to go over their work for a final check immediately.

Our group had already installed enough cameras, power grids, and secret targeted training for the warriors in the forest. Besides, we had a large arsenal of weapons which Patrick was in-charge of.

As for the rest of our pack, Ad and Jane had organized three special situation drills to make sure everyone knew – especially the elderly, women, and children – where to hide and what to do in the event of a war or disaster.

In the meantime, I looked at the expensive micro-device, which showed exactly where Emily was now, not just in terms of latitude and longitude, but when she entered a building or any indoor environment. Our display showed the entire structure of the building with the exact location of her whereabouts. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

I had already given it a lot of thought about whether it was unfair to Emily that I used her as bait to capture Nicholas, especially because she didn’t know about it regardless of the severity of her past crimes. But Grand Elder Liam found a reason for me.

“It is an undisputed truth that progress requires individual sacrifice, for every species and every group. Although the spirit of sacrifice is not in line with the nature of intelligent creatures who should seek benefits and avoid harm, if every member is wise enough to only protect themselves, justice cannot be upheld. Moreover, I don’t think we can call it a sacrifice. Emily is just one of the chess pieces in our plan to capture Nicholas. Our soldiers will do their best to ensure her safety, even if they have to sacrifice their lives for it. She will be brought back to face the justice she deserves.”

“And Emily is now about to take on the role of Luna of her own free will. Luna is more than just a title, it means responsibility and the ability to rise to the occasion in times of crisis. I believe that if Rose was still in power, she would still be willing to play her part regardless of the risks,” added he.

He didn’t know that Mona was Rose, but when I heard him say that, I found that it was a very accurate assessment of my mate.

I didn’t know when Nicholas would be coming, but it would definitely be at night because vampires couldn’t move around when the Sun was nigh.

So, it might be tonight, tomorrow night, or one night after that. Still, we couldn’t take any chances. We needed to be ready every night.
