Chapter 43

Warren

As soon as I kissed Yara goodbye, I’d gone to my office and called Alpha Harold. When I didn’t get an answer, I left a

message.

“Alpha Harold, this is Alpha Warren. I have something important to speak with you about. Please call me as soon as possible.

While I’d waited for a return call, I’d tuned in to Yara so I knew about Haynes and Laney’s mate bond.

I’d just about given up hearing back from the older Alpha when my phone rang. When I saw it was him, I answered immediately.

“Alpha Warren,” I answer.

“Alpha Warren, this is Alpha Harold. What do you want?” he growls into the phone. He sounds exhausted and worn out. This is why Alphas have pups young. Being an Alpha, especially during times of war like we’re in, takes a heavy toll on you. “Alpha Harold, I wasn’t sure you’d heard that I attacked Alpha Thomas‘ pack and killed him and most of his warriors.” “Calling me to let me know you’re planning to attack me next?” he growls.

“No. On the contrary, my understanding is that you are not part of the alliance that Quinton, Brady, and Thomas put together.”

“What if I’m not? You think that makes me weak? Come see how weak I am. Alpha Warren. I may be older than have a lot of fight left in me.”

“I have no doubt of that, and I have no interest in fighting you, Alpha Harold. It’s always been you who has attacked me, not the other way around,” I say. He goes quiet for a moment and I hear him sigh heavily.

“What do you want, Alpha Warren?” Rather than being angry, he just sounds worn out.

“When I attacked Alpha Thomas, there were omegas, young mothers, pups.” he begins growling again.

“I don’t kill the weak,” I snap at him. “So, stop verbally fighting me and listen to what I have to say.”

“Fine,” he says.

“I pack. Many of them are in bad shape. They were forced into mate bonds and while they may not be

“How many?” he asks me.

“I don’t have an exact count,

twenty to thirty.”

I hear him sit back in his chair and it’s quiet a moment. I let him think it through. Hknow I’d need to if the roles were reversed.

“I want to speak with them,” he says.

“I can’t do that, they’re all in my pack hospital being treated at the moment. But I can tell you that I spoke to a woman named Tanya, and there was another one, Farrah, who had to go into emergency surgery,

“They survived,” he says quietly, and there’s a new excitement in his voice.
