Getting To Brentwood

~Leo~

We arrived at Brentwood on time. Just as instructed, Alpha Timothy had evacuated his people, but he waited to receive us.

Vino and Devin decided to help place the women and guards in strategic places.

We knew they would be coming from Brent because that was their safe passage, so we positioned ourselves at the road and forest leading to Brent from Brentwood.

Our Nitric sprayers and dart shooters were stationed around the place.

Some were to hide in the forest on trees, while others were to hide behind rocks and in ridges, away from sight but close enough to shoot.

While we organised ourselves, Timothy approached me.

He was too scared to approach Sylvester and the Lords. He was shocked that they would come. The old man had tears in his eyes.

“You came,” he said, and I nodded.

“Yes, Timothy. They took Brent. We can’t let them take Brentwood,” I said, and he bared his neck to Sylvester and the Lords.

“Thank you, your majesty, for deeming my pack worthy. I was apprehensive. They came very arrogant and proud. They gave me a very unsettling feeling, but I had no heir and did not stand a chance. I didn’t think anyone would save me. A part of me wanted to agree and just hand Mirabel to Inkabod, but my wolf insisted I reach out to Alpha Leo one last time.” He said and wiped away his tears.

The man was indeed tired. I could see why he was actively hunting for a suitor for Mirable. If she were an Alpha, he would have handed the pack over to her. It was unfortunate.

“They look like your Luna,” Timothy said, and I already knew that part.

“I don’t want to offend you, but they are creepy, and they have this confidence that does not sit well with me.” He said, and while he spoke, Clay and Andrew approached. Timothy tensed the moment he saw them. I knew it was because of their features.

“Relax, Timothy, they are on our side. That is Clay, Amelia’s brother, and That is Andrew, their cousin. Alexei is also Amelia’s brother,” I said, and his eyes widened.

“That was why you pardoned him.” He said, thinking I let Alexei off the hook because he was Amelia’s brother.

“That matter is still in the council,” I told him, and he frowned.
