Chapter 82 – The Mission

“Put on your war paint! The war is won before it’s begun, release the doves, surrender love.” “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy

Third Person POV

The sun gradually rose over the horizon as the golden light marked the early start of a brand–new day. Commotion and chatter echoed across the front lawn of Zircon territory, wolves, and warriors alike, gearing themselves up for the mission ahead. The charred earth was not enough to damper the enthusiasm and determination. With both Alpha Neron and Alpha Anthony leading the charge, it would prove to be the mission of a lifetime.

Alpha Anthony requested a group of his finest warriors to aid in him. Kiya and Phoebe proved to be irreplaceable members of Garnet Moon, motivating the fighters to join in on the rescue effort. Cars and vans carrying the strongest warriors of California rolled in, joining the militia in preparation. The numbers grew to one hundred.

Grit proved to be the key to Neron’s healing because the large wound on his stomach disappeared overnight. No longer needing the gauze, he was free from the imprisonment of pain. His mind focused on Kiya and how he would stop at nothing to reach her. Standing on a boulder, he looked over the land. He allowed only his best and healed warriors to take part. He could not risk any more than what he already had. Some needed to stay behind and defend the territory in his absence.

The journey to the location would take hours but would be cut in half in wolf form. It was the mere difference in those hours that would decide if the women would return or remain captive. Deep down, he admired the sight of two packs working in unison to rescue women they considered valuable.

On his left, he watched his Beta and Beta Female speak with Abigail. With his enhanced hearing, he picked up a conversation about the woman looking after Adonis. The little boy’s green eyes twinkled with wonder and worry as he looked at his beloved parents.

“Take good care of my son, Abigail.” Raina shook her uninjured hand. With a broken arm, her friends insisted that she stayed. Beta Jacqueline was not letting her anywhere near this fight.

“I will.” She smiled warmly, patting the five–year–old’s shoulder. “Adonis and I will have fun together, right?”

“Yes.” He nodded. “Mommy, Daddy, are you bringing Auntie Kiya back?” Neron’s heart throbbed painfully. From the distance, he saw the love the little boy had for Kiva

“Yes, we will.” Valerian smiled, ruffling his hair. “We’re going to bring her back and you get to play with her again. Maybe you could show her your toy plane collection.”

“Okay!” He hugged his parents tight, wishing them luck. Neron prayed for the Moon Goddess to cast her protection on Raina and Valerian. They must return safely to their son.

There was no telling what they’ll encounter. Weapons? Magic? Anything and everything were possible for the risk of a violent ambush, and each wolf must remain on their toes. Both Alphas hoped that they’ll return with all their warriors, but deep down, they feared casualties.

“Alpha Neron.” He turned to see Lyra with a serious look on her face. “I want to speak to you in private.”
