Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 87
This couldn't be happening. Anna buried her face in her hands, still struggling to absorb everything Noah had said straight to her face without even a hint of shame. A strategic retreat, he had said. Cutting their losses. And then when it was all over, reporting to Gold Nation and the Union Court that the battle had been bravely fought but lost anyway.He was supposed to be her new life. He was vain sometimes and reminded her a little too closely of how she had been before Beth had snapped sense into her at the birthday party at long last, but he was her husband, her mate. He was gentle and encouraging and never looked down on her even when she discovered there was so much in domestic life she was unskilled at, and it was because of him, too, that she had been able to grow.She was different now. She had changed. For over sixteen years she had only thought about herself and everything had always gone her way, so she had never thought to become better. But then, Beth had changed over
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 88
Anna was certainly not who she had been before. Beth didn't know what exactly had been the catalyst for her transformation, but the Annalise who had orchestrated immaculate tea parties and always gasped when even a fleck of mud dotted her dresses, the Annalise who had refused to even touch sticks on the ground because they had dirt or grass blades on them was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she had also come back and was living a second life, Beth thought dryly, but there was no chance of that no matter how amusing the notion. No, the way things seemed, Annalise had simply changed the good old fashioned way, through inner transformation after what must have been hardship and painful lessons.But one thing was for sure. She really did care for Noah. She might even love him. Whatever had happened in the past year, Anna had become someone who didn't turn her nose up at being mated to a Beta and had even deigned to come to the front where she would certainly meet with more than flecks of mud a

"You must be kidding, Anna. What are you saying?"She held her ground and stared Noah in the eyes, unblinking. He was half-smiling in disbelief as he sat on the other side of the table with his maps strewn about on the surface, hands still on the paper. "You heard me," she said. "I'm challenging you to a one on one fight tomorrow morning, in front of the soldiers. All of them. And I want you to stake your command on it. If I win, I take it from you, and I'll be the one leading the soldiers when the attacks begin.""Anna...What's gotten into you? If you're trying to make me laugh, I suppose it's working, but this is a bit of an unbelievable stretch even for you. Come on, I'm hungry. Get something to eat for both of us and we can cuddle in bed, I'm tired and want to settle down for the night anyway." He extended his arm sideways, inviting her to come to him around the table and climb into his embrace, but Anna stood in the doorway without moving.Beth had told her this was the only wa

Beth could see now with dispassionate eyes that she, too, had changed, more than she realized. Of course Beth was nothing like the weak, manipulable, gullible woman she had been in her first life, and of course she still had her doubts about Anna's miraculous change of heart over the last year. But it wasn't just vengeance and bitterness that stopped her from leaping to Anna's aid when Noah left that horrid wound on her leg. It was cold logic, the calm reasoning that told her if she interfered now, it would only be to Anna's detriment later no matter how one sliced it. So holding back and leaving her sister to her own devices was for Anna's benefit, not just a result of Beth's lingering hatred.Or maybe there was both mixed in. But either way, the fight was decided and there was only one victor, Annalise. Now was Beth's moment to back her up and solidify her sister's authority over Noah's share of the troops, and then after that, they could get down to the real business since Noah w

A week passed, and the snowstorm raged on and off. But there was no assault, not even more scouts sighted than seven days prior. Beth would have almost preferred that the rogue wolves attacked right away. The apprehension of the troops had grown so much with each sunrise that the already-hacked morale was at an all time low. It would have been better if the assault had taken them all by surprise six days ago when everyone was still too confused by the sudden power shift in the commanders' ranks to worry about and fear the impending battle.But too late for that now. The soldiers had begrudgingly accepted that both of their leaders were women - funny how Gold Nation soldiers accepted this far more easily than Iron Nation ever would - and now they turned their attention to not only the enemy, but to the dangerous storm that threatened to freeze the fingers and toes of those who couldn't shift into their warmer wolf forms. Still, this tension couldn't last forever. It had to snap somet

The skirmishes began first. It was nasty work, with eight units dispatched in every direction to deal with the threat. They weren't the main problem though, just probing tests to see how strong Tahoe Village's defenses were. So be it. It gave Anna a chance to slip away undetected with the handful of discreet werewolves who would be going with her to gather the needed reinforcements and spread the word that the village was finally under attack. Every unit thought Annalise was with another, and no one would be any the wiser.Which was good timing. If Anna hadn't been able to leave until the main assault began, Beth would never have been able to release Noah so easily. For the last week, he had been detained in the village jail, which was crude and weak and would likely never have held the man if he weren't fuming and so bitterly envious of his wife's success. He hadn't resisted captivity yet because he wanted to see Annalise fail, and then for everyone to come crawling on their knees

Beth had no doubt. Andrew would sacrifice all the villagers as well as his own forces just to test the rogue werewolves' limits. An experiment. That was what everything was to him, all these lives he didn't give a damn about."I should have known better than to think he had anything other than the worst intentions," she said, anger in her voice but directed at Andrew and herself, not Matthew anymore. "I was even thinking that if this so-called espionage mission went well, I could venture asking him for reinforcements and other help in return for when Iron and Silver Nation clashed with the rogues again. But looks like I should have known better than to even entertain the thought.""He's quite charismatic. He's gotten even more embittered enemies to give him the benefit of the doubt than you know.""Well, his charisma can eat it. I'll figure this out without his support since the great Alpha King has abandoned his own nation. We need to prepare for the worst case scenario and be prepar

PRESENT DAY***"Matthew Catii's squadron has departed. They mean to make it to the southern portion of the outer territory within the next fifteen minutes, then work their way outward in a zig-zag pattern. The snow is falling harder now so they believe that's for the best, using it to their advantage instead of trying to take a straight path out, and they'll launch small ambushes on any rogue stragglers they find. Message delivered, Alpha Elizabeth!"The lieutenant saluted her, and she accepted it with a firm nod. It almost felt natural now to have a few of her subordinates call her by that title. The rest still refused even if they respected her authority, but that didn't matter. What was important that she had their obedience and cooperation, not vain address and pomp."Good work, thank you for your diligence.""Should I relay any message to the others, Alpha?""No. I trust them to be holding their positions as instructed. You should rest and prepare while you can, at least until t
