Chapter 25

Warren

This time when we’re attacked, I’m surprised. This is Alpha Solomon’s old pack, and I guess his son really is the asshole that I thought he was. Not only do I now have another pack attacking mine, but the asshole isn’t even here in the fight.

Solomon wasn’t a bad Alpha, but he was older and tired and it shows in his warriors‘ lack of fighting ability. Add to that, Yara has already strengthened our pack significantly in the very short amount of time that she’s been here, and this battle is much easier than any of the recent battles we’ve had.

‘Does anyone have eyes on Alpha Simon?‘ I ask, ripping another one of Simon’s warriors apart.

‘No, Alpha,‘ I hear my warriors reply. Most of them are still fighting. Only a small number have had to go to the hospital. I’m not surprised that Charlie isn’t out here. I know he wanted to be and I can feel him focusing on the fight, but I’m sure Yara refused to let him leave. I’m in total agreement. This battle may not be the worst we’ve ever fought, but Charlie was practically dead yesterday. No, he WAS dead yesterday. Yara brought him back to life.

I don’t like it that Simon isn’t here in the fight. He must know that Yara is here, that’s the most logical reason why he sent his warriors to attack, but where is he? Is he

anding back, searching for her?

‘Charlie, is everything alright in the hospital?‘ I ask him.

The guards you put on the hospital are fighting some wolves who got through. Our injured are starting to jump in. I’m standing guard for our Luna.’

‘Is Simon there?‘

‘Not that I can see.’

Where the fuck is Simon!

Keep vigilant. He’s got to be here, and he’ll be coming for Yara, I say, just as I feel Charlie’s mind link close.

‘Charlie?‘ I ask, pushing his mind link open again.

‘He’s here, Alpha. He’s here in the hospital and he’s after Luna Yara,’ he says softly. Through the bond, I can feel him going into fight mode. I can feel his body coiling to pounce.

I snarl, turning and howling to the pack.

‘Kill them and get to the hospital! Alpha Simon is after your Luna!”

I’m not sure what I expected from my pack, but it wasn’t the rush of adrenaline and fury that I just felt. Where the battle was being won more slowly, now my warriors begin thrashing and killing like wild, feral animals, before turning to head to the hospital.

I push the mind link with Charlie open again.

“Let her go, Simon. There’s no way you leave here alive,” Charlie says to him.
