Chapter 74

Graysons POV:

I waited at the top of the wall on Darrens land. James on one side, Charlie the other.

They were coming, the air was too restless for anything else to happen. I wanted this done. I wanted to be home. I wanted their alpha head on display above my gates.

I held a bow and waited for them to trickle in I had no doubt they were inching toward if Darren was a smarter mant he’d have cut down the trees near his walls so that an enemy couldn’t hide. Im sure he’s seen that issue now.

His wife and newborn were inside these walls. Heavily guarded by guns with silver bullets, but I’m sure he saw every flaw in his defenses right now and was praying to the goddess the enemy didn’t.

I know how I felt. I know I wished I had put sentries out to guard my outer land so they couldn’t make a camp near my wife and unborn child. I knew I wished I had ordered silver bullets so that my family was safe.

**I’ll be home soon

I could get their scent on the air they were too close. I scanned the trees they had to have been hiding behind.

One of them poked their head out and I drew back. Waited for him breathing in and out, in and out letting loose my

arrow.

It hit and he fell to the ground lifeless. More arrows flew and their warriors were falling. I looked at the tree three over and shot someone in their knee and then Charlie shot their head as they went to grab the arrow.

After a relentless couple of minutes for them with arrows barraging them like waves someone on their side gave the call to charge.

It was the most I’d seen of them. A good number more than I would have liked ran out from the tree line.

I shot arrow after arrow hitting a chest, a shoulder, and a throat. Killing and wounding as many as I could. They had injured people fighting already though.

I could see the marks of our small skirmishes on these wolves, they had to fight us al over again knowing the end result.

Some of them were attempting to shoot us back. Darren’s walls had slits for archers. They obviously weren’t the

smartest.

I shot one of their would–be archers in his jaw and watched him make it ten times worse as he ripped the arrow tip back out.

I looked down at the lower per of the wall a few standing there calling for ladders. I took an arrow tip dipped it in the oil, lit on the flame, and shot it down.

Darren and I had dry hay laid down at the base of his stone walls. It’s hard to climb over the fire.

I shot it down and the hay lit up, the little man beneath me screamed and squealed brushing his legs.

The more I watched them the less guilty I felt. I didn’t care for their pain, their senselessness, their blind faith that they’d win. All it did was enrage me.

They brought the ladders out and some of them attempted to put them up but they were met with arrow tips and spearheads.

But they were undeterred falling back for a short bit and letting the fire burn itself out. Relentless.

I growled at their strategy. Someone with brains was in charge.
