CHAPTER 120

I'm watching the monitors for any sign of the fighting, but there is no movement whatsoever. Both boys are sound asleep in their grandmother's arms while we wait for the all-clear. Sara had shown up just before lunch time like she usually does a few days a week. Now that she is in charge of her pack, she isn't able to come as often as would like. I'm so happy that Asher has her in his life, though, and that our relationship has bloomed tremendously.

When I see movement on one of the monitors, I give it my full attention. A big charcoal gray wolf comes slinking into town from the tree line. It's being cautious as it looks around what looks to be a ghost town. How he slipped past my warriors, I have no idea, but he has, and I don't see any of my men surrounding the pack house like they are supposed to be. Looking at another monitor, though, the one that's facing the back of the house, I see fighting going on. So, that's where my men are, it was the plan to get them all in one area.

I link my men to let them know about the Alpha wolf coming from the front, but they are all tied up, fighting the other wolves. Knowing that I'm going to be in so much trouble for what I'm about to do, I make the only decision that I can and head for the door.

"Summer, lock this door behind me." I order the she-wolf.

"Quinn, you can't be serious!" Cici runs over to me, trying to block my way, "It's too dangerous for you out there!"

I point to the monitor, "Oh, and letting that big Alpha wolf get into my pack house where my babies are, isn't?" I don't realize that I include Holden in as one of mine, but he is like one of my own, and I will protect him just like I would Ash.

"You can't fight him by yourself, Quinn!" My friend shrieks.
