Chapter 73 – The Warning

“One cannot answer for his courage when he has never been in danger.“–Francots de La Rochefoucauld

I stood by the window in my office, watching the training sessions on the lush grass. The pup trainees combat each other, getting stronger each day. Small hands and feet swing and land on their targets joined with shouts of power and pride intermingling in the sweaty atmosphere. A small smile creeps on my face at their progress, the pups were becoming stronger every day. Soon, they’ll be on par with their adult counterparts.

It was all thanks to Kiya’s talent and leadership. Despite missing sessions because of situations out of her control, she bounced back and so did the pups. I couldn’t be any prouder.

I needed to protect her at all costs.

After last night’s debacle, I boosted border security to the max. Some former warriors came out of their retirement to act as agents of protection. No matter how much I disagreed, they insisted firmly, it was for protecting and preserving the future of Zircon Moon.

And to protect their Luna.

That statement still irks me, I had every right to shoot it down, but I didn’t. No one else, besides my father and I, knew of Kiya’s refusal. In due course, I’ll announce it to the entire pack. Zircon Moon had gone for so long without a proper Luna, and it was my fault. I drove the true Luna away, and the false Luna couldn’t be any more incompetent to assume the role.

We were still a powerful pack, but we were incomplete.

Kiya becoming my Luna was the last thing on my mind. My principal focus was protecting her from that…thing in case it ever comes back. I’ve never seen a human–like–no. That thing was not human.

It was akin to a war machine. It was unstoppable, nearly taking me out every chance it got, and I was the fucking Alpha. I was the strongest in my pack and I couldn’t take it down on my own. When I got up close, its face scared me more than its fists.

The entity was…empty, soulless. There was no humanity in those horrific red eyes, its face was haunting That thing was inhuman, Judging by its atypical scent, I could be right.

It was a soldier on a mission and every soldier had their commander calling the shots. There was someone bigger out there, lurking in the shadows and watching our every move, and they squared their eyes on Kiya.

“Whoever the fuck they are, they’ll not touch her,” Onyx snarled. His voice was laced with rage and death. “I’ll tear everyone apart for wanting to harm our mate.”

“Test you and I agree on something.”

Sitting back at my desk, I examine the various documents on my desk. Transactions from various investments across Nevada, progress reports, written requests from pack members, notes from other Alphas, the works. I noted down the recent rogue attacks from neighboring packs in the Tri–state area.

Attacks had not calmed down. Alphas were sending warnings to other packs to beware and prepare, something

I was all too familiar with. Many smaller packs and refugees were heading to safer zones, including Garnet Moon. However, because of the recent attacks, it was inappropriate to take in evacuees and throw them in danger once more.
