"May the strongest prevail." Alpha Wiley said dangerously before hanging up. "Fuck!" My anger finally erupted as I drove my fist through the wall.

"Our next move must be a clear statement," Logan was shaking with anger. "Xena can't move around without guards," I said with a dark tone.

"Agreed. She may not like it, but she has no choice," Alpha Hank nodded, speaking slowly. Martha made no effort to hide as she rolled her eyes, opening her mouth to say something, but wisely closed it after a look from her mate.

"Fine. You can go home now. Alpha Hank, I'll call you in a few hours with the specific location." My father stood and extended his hand to Hank.

"Sounds good." Hank took my father's hand.

I walked over to open the door for them. Alpha Hank walked out, followed by Leonard, but Logan stopped in front of me.

"Protect my sister," it wasn't exactly a threat, but it carried threatening undertones. Still, I understood his position.

"With my life," I answered quietly.

I walked with Logan to the kitchen. As we approached the door, I could hear laughter coming from inside. My mother's voice was the loudest, but I could still distinguish Xena's laughter. Something inside me relaxed slightly.
