Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 21

Axton is quiet for the rest of the drive back to the pack- house. I didn’t know what to say or even think about what he told me because it only gives me more things to worry about. Especially knowing it could be literally anyone. Yet, I could tell Axton was serious, he wasn’t joking, and I could tell it scared him too.

“I don’t want you and the boys out on that ranch; it isn’t safe. You need to move back to the city.”

Sighing, I glance at him and shake my head. “I can’t up- root my pack or abandon them out there, besides we have had no attacks out there, and if anywhere is unsafe, it’s the city! That’s its hunting ground.”

“You are exposed out there. Omega women are no match for a strigoi, Elena! Not even I’m a match for a strigoi. No werewolf is!”

“Exactly! This has been going on for months, and it is clear whoever is doing this is targeting the packs within the city!” Lexa also agrees because most of the attacks have happened in the city, with very few outside its borders, so why would I want to bring my pack to its hunting grounds? Axton growls and grits his teeth, his hands tightening on the steering wheel as he pulls onto his street.

Finally, he exhales, and his shoulders slump. “Fine, you’re probably right, but you need to agree to let my men remain on your borders.”

“They can go where they please; just tell them, to keep their distance from the women. Some are a little jumpy when it comes to men, but they can have full access.” I give in, knowing it will cause issues, but their safety and our sons are

what matters. Besides, saying no to extra patrols would be foolish and only cause more arguments. I am sick of arguing with Axton at every turn, especially when things are kind of pleasant at the moment.

“I’ll organize it before you leave tomorrow, but don’t for- get the council meeting is on Friday; I may try to move it to Wednesday.”

“I’ll bring the boys and mom. She can watch the boys for us at the packhouse?” Axton nods his head, a silly smile on his lips as he pulls into the garage.
