Chapter 56: Alaric Nikki

I'm glad to know that Luna Sophie is pregnant and it's not something else that caused her to be unable to shift. She'd looked terrified for a moment, and it had made me a bit. nervous. I don't know much about mate bonds, but I know I don't want to lose my wolf. With all the craziness going on, pregnancy hadn't been on my mind. They've only been together for a couple of weeks. It's unheard of for a she-wolf, even ant Alpha, to be pregnant that quickly. But it makes me wonder if that's how it could be, how it should be when the mate bond is strong like theirs.

As we run to where the sounds of fighting are occurring, I catch his scent and my stomach drops. Alaric, my brother, is here. Along with that scent, I catch his Beta's scent and the scent of two other Beta females. I wonder if these are the twins that Luna Sophie was telling us about.

When we jog up, I stay hidden behind some of Alpha Hunter's warriors. He's at the front of the group, in his human form, snarling at my brother and his Beta. I smell two others from my old pack, possibly his G**a, and maybe another warrior. My brother is so s**d. He assumes that while he's out leading the hunt, no one will attack and take over his pack. If I was there, I would. I'd be a better Alpha than he is. "Those she-wolves are unmarked Betas. Step aside and let us claim them," my brother growls.

"Those she wolves are under my protection. You will not cross my borders, or you will be attacked," Alpha Hunter growls.

I look and see that Alpha Robin and Alpha Kayce are still in wolf form. They are standing behind Hunter, flanking him in front of his warriors. I smile. I guess that means that Alpha Robin is taking Alpha Hunter's side on this. I'm glad. I like spending time with him, but I'd stop if he turned out to be like my brother.

"This is war, Hunter! Do you realize that?" my brother asks.

I see the Beta twins. They've shifted back to human form and are huddled on the ground, trying to make themselves small. Letti and Allison are in wolf form, surrounding them and Luna Sophie is there, wrapping her arms them, trying to help calm them.

I hate my brother, he's so arrogant. Maybe I shouldn't, but I've never backed down from a fight. It's one of the reasons his Beta covets me.

"If it does come to war, brother," I snarl his relation to me, "then what will happen to your pack when you're here waging war?" I ask, stepping past the warriors and looking my brother in the eye. "Nicole. I should have known that you were here. It's time for you to come home."

"I don't think so," I say, and notice that Robin subtly shifts to stand in front of me.

Alaric looks back at Hunter. "She's underage Hunter, she's my sister and under my protection," he says, and I snort. -

"Protection? Is that what you call locking me away?"

"She's under MY protection now, Alarlo," Hunter growls.

looking over my body covetously, I'm guessing my brother told him he could have me if he helped him find a mate. Camden has always liked my smart mouth and fiery spirit, but something In me has wondered if that's only because he likes the idea of trying to break me. Cam always did like a challenge, but he's not known for his kindness. "I don't think so, Camden. But Alaric, you should heed my warning. You can wage war, you can come here and attack. Alpha Hunter's pack," I say and see Hunter glance at me. He doesn't like the idea of me instigating a
