We are prepared. All troops are posted to their locations and everything is in place. It has been a long time since any of our packs have been the ones going to war. Since we have invaded a pack. We have all been invaded in recent decades, all by a common enemy, of course. And, that is what brought us here today. As allies, fighting together to bring that enemy down. I just hoped and prayed that my beautiful Evelyn was safe, and that she had managed what she too, had planned… I had barely slept over the last few days, as we refined the plans repeatedly until there was nothing else we could change. They should be perfect now. I hoped they were. There could be no room for failure. This had to work. Our region depended upon us. In truth, I believed it went beyond that, I believed our nation relied upon the destruction of Alpha Blake, because he was not just a threat to our region but to the nation as a whole. Him being gone meant we were all safer in the longterm.
My whole body froze at the sight of the omega in the bedroom. She was leaning over the bloodied body of Alpha Blake, but as I walked through the door from the ensuite bathroom, the noise must have disturbed her and she turned to look at me. A cold chill spread across my body. I hoped I could get away before anyone knew of what I had done. I knew the smell of the blood was likely to draw attention to the room, but nobody passed by here, so I hoped I would have a little longer… The wide-eyed look of shock on the face of the omega as her eyes focused on me, made my heart pound within my chest. What would she do? Would she mindlink for help? I quickly glanced across the room, trying to remember what I had done with the knife, wondering if I should use it again… “Y..you k…ki..killed him?” the omega said quietly, her voice shaking. "He is dead, you know?" ‘Kill her. You are above her. Your rank outweighs hers. Stronger too. You can. Or I will.’ Orla is urging me, b
Cara took one last look at her master’s bloodied corpse laying on my bed, a small smile upon her lips, before she slipped her hand into mine. “Let us go Evelyn.” She whispered. “I cannot tell you how brave I think you are. He was an evil man. The things he did here are unspeakable. Let alone out of pack.” I am curious of the things she speaks of, but I know at the present moment we do not have the time. One day, I will find the time to sit and talk with this sweet girl, I will find the things she has gone through at the hands of the evil Alpha. Because simply in that small smile alone, I could sense seeing him lying there dead was like a small pleasure for her. Sweet revenge almost. And that told me she had suffered at his hands. Yes, she may have been his omega, but that did not mean she should be made to suffer. I aim to make sure Cara had a better life in our pack. She would not be made to answer to anyone. Even if that meant she became my omega, she would be an omega wit
Hearing Evelyn’s voice eased my racing heart. Knowing she was still okay eased my worries. But, the fact I had been unable to reach her for a little while, despite waiting along the border edges for quite some time, meant I had gone against our plan, and begun to cross the border, darting through the trees of the derelict area of forest. This pack seemed unbelievably run down. As Rek skillfully dodged between the trees I was finally able to reach Evelyn through the mindlink, and her voice was like music to my ears. A soulful tune. So beautiful. Until she told me not to come for her. Rek’s anger raged through my body along with my own. She was warning us not to come for her. Yet that had been the plan all along. Our plan we discussed was for me to meet her. Come for her and bring her safely home to me. To her mates. Yet, she was telling me not to? She had to have been tempted by the power of Alpha Blake. She had to have been. There was no other explaination for her t
With trembling hands I look to the young she-wolf by my side. Aiden had gone. He had been the one I was meant to meet. He planned to guide me home. Yet, he had abandoned me. Given up on me it seemed. My own mate. Him of everyone? He was the one whose faith in me never seemed to falter. What had changed? “Evelyn? Are you okay?” Cara’s gentle voice questions. I look to her with anxious eyes, as I nod. “Just unsure what to do.” I explain, not sure what else to do or to say. I truly do not want to give too much away to her. What if she was captured by her pack and questioned. She cannot know more than she does. Or else she had the potential to give too much away… “We run for the borders.” She says with a smile, as she reaches for my hand. “So come on.” “Do you have a phone?” I ask her, desperately hoping she may so I can at least try to call my brother for help. His was the only number I remembered by heart. But Cara shakes her head. “Alpha would
This beautiful woman in front of me, this brave woman who had somehow found the courage to end the life of the man I had been dreaming of killing since soon after my arrival in his pack four years ago was now pulling me away from the pack after we had been told my pack was being invaded. Something told me, that when she told me she needed to escape she hadn’t been entirely honest. Not that she needed to be. But, I had to accept she had no reason to be. She likely felt she could trust nobody right now, and who could blame her? She had been holed up in our hell hole of a pack for too long, isolated and feeling alone. It was enough to send anybody insane. And, while I may have been trying to ensure she was kept a little safer, she had been oblivious to that. I could not be caught talking to her, or I would have been made to suffer from the hands of the Alpha. He would have hurt me. Killed me, like he had done many omegas before who had gone against his rules. But, no
Dashing through the forest to the borders as fast I could was frustrating in human form. We needed to be able to speak to anyone we came across. Explain why we were out, and our obvious answer was the one Cara had earlier used. A leisurely walk. That would not be in wolf form. Yet, Orla was desperate to push through and take over, knowing she would be able to get us to our location so much faster than my two feet. But, I had to be so wary of how I was doing things right now. Nothing could put us at risk. We could not be far from the border when my mindlink began going crazy. ‘Evelyn. Are you near?’ Cayden’s voice was anxious, no doubt hoping all was okay. ‘Evelyn? Please let us know how you are. Are you with Aiden now?’ Jackson’s voice this time. ‘Ev? Baby, please, I need to hear your voice again.’ Cayden once more. ‘Hey both of you. I am here, just making my way to the edge of the borders. So glad to hear you! Aiden is not with me. He got angry. Thou
I ran or my wolf did, through the pack and out across the border back to heading toward home. But I am doing my hardest to control Rek. Telling him he must go to find our mates. Evelyn may have deserted us for that good for nothing fucking evil Alpha, but my other mates were out here somewhere waiting for her. They needed to know what she had done. They needed to know to stop this war. She had made our choice. Our girl had made her decision and it was not us. ‘Rek, take a step back a minute. We need to find the others.’ ‘No. They will tell us to find her.’ Rek snarls at me through the link we share. ‘Rek, this is not just about you. Or me. We have our other mates. Cayden and Jackson need us to let them know what is happening.’ I tell him. ‘We need to make sure they are safe. I do not want to live with the thought I was the cause of them being hurt if it were to happen.’ Rek growls, but I can tell from the change in the speed in which he is running he is
