NovelEnglishChapter 0230 Kaia POV "Alpha..." Numerous pack members scream through the mind-link and I have to push them back out to stop them hittingall at once.
The fear of the pack members washing overthrough the pack link.
"To your stations." I order back through the mind-link, as I continue to run towards the alpha house. I pass pack members who were looking tofor leadership. Their gazes watchingwith uncertainty of their fate, if they go to the borders...will they cback alive. I needed more, needed more warriors. We were still rebuilding, we needed more time.
"You, you all stay and fight..." I let my alpha aura wash over the Amber Desert warriors congregated in the courtyard. They were getting ready to leave, following my initial orders.
Those orders have now changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You dismissed us Alpha." "Your Luna will be fighting, are you going to leave her to stand alone?" I roar at the Amber Desert warriors as I continue to approach them.
They were already in the cars, the engines running...minutes later and they would have been gone.
"Alpha...we..." "I need you to fight, please. I'm asking, not as your Alpha but as the sister of your Luna...the leader of the pack you have been protecting. I need as many fighters as possible." I swiftly change my tone, they didn't need to follow my orders. I wasn't their alpha.
But they had made a life here, broken bread with my people at the dinner table...they can't walk away. Not now. They don't need to fight for me, but they need to fight for Alora. To keep her safe.
They all look to each other, before nodding back atand followinginto the alpha house.
"Alora?" I call out as I open the front door, only to crash into the solid chest of Hector.
"Thank the goddess, where were you.." "At the cliff tops.." I respond, ignoring Hector's growl of disapproval. I had told him I needed a lone walk, but I automatically found myself at the cliff tops before I knew it. Like I had been called there.
"What information do we have?" I look past his shoulder to Alora who is in a mind-link as she walks towards me, Ezra's hand on her elbow as he tries to pull her back for sreason.
"Shadow Rock border, trying to push into ours..." Alora growls out as she cuts the mind-link. I match her growl, that border was clear...the council guards had only just stepped away... this was unbelievable. "Gather all warriors, all able fighters to the borders..." I demand out just as I turn to give orders to the Amber Desert warriors when I am pulled back inside and the door slammed behind me.
"You aren't going anywhere!" Hector seethes, his grip ontight.
I had cback to mark him, cback to tell him that I choose him, that I am his. But as his hands grip ontotoo possessively I want to seethe at him instead.
"Get your hands off me." "You are in heat Kaia, you'll be a mato any unmated wolf out there." "This is my pack Hector, these are my people." "Who will fight for you whether you are in the fight or not." He states through a tense jaw.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You can't be serious." "I can't protect your pack if I have to keep the swarm of red blooded locusts off you." In an ideal situation I wouldn't be in heat and the pack would have had a chance to recover fully, have extra supplies delivered...but this isn't an ideal situation, but I would fight to the death to protect what is mine. "Kaia..." "Hector, I can't not fight...you'll just have to get over it and be by my side."
He's worried for me, I know he is but I can't hide in the alpha house whilst the pack is under attack. That's just not the type of leader I am. "I'm not happy about this." "I know your not, but what would you do..."
"I would fight." He sighs out, knowing his argument doesn't stand if our rotes were reversed. His chest rumbles as he once again towers over me, his power oozing out of him.
Heat or not, fireworks are sent to my lower core.
"Alpha, the borders...they are pushing." A guard's voice hitsthrough the pack-link.
"Hold your positions, I'm on my way." I command back as Hector, Alora, Ezra and I race to the pack borders that run alongside the Shadow Rock land. The Amber Desert warriors in hot pursuit along with our own warriors, and any person that can fight. This would be a fight that would determine the future of the Nightshade Reformed pack. This was a fight I had to win...or if I could not, die trying.
