Chapter 53

The Crescent mountain pack had been attacked in the middle of the night. The enemy had used a fire to attack, three injured, four dead..

“I want medical relief sent, I want builders sent to help secure their defenses, and I want Aarron over there now,” Grayson spouted the orders.

I turned to look at Elizabeth when Aarron was told to help them but if she was scared for her husband she didn’t show

“They have one man in need of critical care,” Matt interjected.

“Have him helicoptered here,” Grayson dismissed everyone.

We had one moment of bliss and now the world was up in flames.

“They’re expecting me to send men but that’s not possible right now. Richard knows that he won’t expect any men beyond what I’m sending,” he came up to me.

“Tell him to send his elders elsewhere, maybe even the children. They know who’s the smallest pack among us and who has the least defenses,” I brought up to him.

“Where would they go?”

“My family?” I suggested.

“They are not to know of this Annette this is not their fight and I can defend our people,”

“We need a safe place for our people to go if it gets any worse. Alpha Richard has lost four men we need to give sanctuary,” I shot back.

“I do not want to burden or worry your parents,” he shook his head.

“This is what families do Grayson, besides it’s time they know,” I grabbed his hand.

“They will not let you stay here and this is where I can keep you safe. You’re families lands are far away but they are open to enemies along the cliff face,”

“You know I’m not leaving you at a time like this if my family wants me to return they’ll have to find a way to cope just like we have. But we need more allies,”

“Alright,” he relented.

He would do anything to keep his people and allies safe including swallowing his pride.

“I am of course willing to give sanctuary to anyone who needs it. But if you keep the safety of my daughter secret from me again I’ll kill you myself,” My father looked at us sternly over the video call.

“No it’s too dangerous I do not want theme”

“They’re my children and two strong alpin wamions the more alpha blood you have the less of a chance they stand it’s not up for discussion.”

“I have to agree Annette we have the one thing they cannot acquire,” Grayson sided with my father. “Besides James was due soon anyways,
