hapter 60 Why Is Ethan Everywhere?
**Ethan‘s POV
“Not only are these cities along the west coast being attacked, but we‘ve also gotten requests for reinforcements from both the eastern and northern borders,” Talon said, reporting the latest news to me as we were walking back to my suite.
“On what scale?” I asked.
“Scattered. Doesn‘t seem to be military actions– more like rogues.”
“Any information on which group is behind it?”
“No, Alpha, It could be multiple groups. The roques all know most of our men are now at the West coast fighting against Alpha Kal‘s invasion. They’re not going to miss this opportunity.”
We stopped at my door. “Ok, give me the map and the report. I‘ll take a look at it later tonight. You can let James know first thing in the morning.”
Talon stood there, but he didn‘t move.
“What else?” I didn‘t lift my head as I flipped through the pages of the reports from the frontline and pictures of the most recently assaulted villages.
“Alpha, it‘s already two in the morning. We have the steering committee at six, and –”
“Alright, see you in the morning, then.” I dismissed him for the rest of the night.
“Ethan, not me!” Talon urged. “It‘s you! You‘ve barely slept!”
“I‘m fine.” I opened the door and closed it behind me before Talon had the chance to protest any further.
In the past couple days, I had managed to stay focused on my work. There was plenty to do, especially with the conflicts heating up along the border. War was something I was familiar with, something I knew. It was a good distraction from the other emotions that kept attempting to bubble to the surface.
Thadn‘t been in my room very long at all when there was a knock at the door.
I considered ignoring it, but then it opened and my sister, Georgia, walked in.

She just looked at me for a moment before she said, “I‘m leaving.”
I put down the documents and looked at her. “Where are you going? And why?”
