Chapter 464
Lil, Jena, Wyatt, Nathaniel and I all jump up. Everyone else looks alarmed.
“What’s going on?” Cam and Kota ask together.
“Border attack. Nathaniel stay here so you can be my go between, their alarm hasn’t been raised yet. Wyatt, you and Lil go now, Jena and I will meet up.”
“On it boss.” They both shift and take off.
“You need to alert your dads. Northern border is under attack. Nathaniel can fill you in, I need to go.” I look at my guys and Sierra, then turn and shift midair taking off, Jena hot on my heels. “What the f*ck, Tiny?!”
“How did you get the alarm before us, Smalls?”
“That’s what I was talking about with the warrior brand. It is stronger and has a farther reach. You guys have to relay a message across the pack, we don’t. Now move your asses. This is a sh*tshow!”
I can feel the distance weaken our link as I get further away. As Jena and I come up on the fight, there are at least a hundred wolves fighting right now. We don’t hesitate to jump in. Jena and I go between human and wolf form easily, which is disorienting to the rogues who probably have never seen anyone transition like that. I’m sure Lil is having a great time messing with them,
I slide under another rogue trying to get his nasty rotting smelling jaw on me. I punch him in the ribs and stand to kick him in the same place. There is fighting everywhere around me.
“Nathaniel, where are my guys?”I grunt in between blows.
“Close, why?”
“I need eyes in the sky, there’s no way this is one sided.”
“They should be close enough for you to link them, I’ll double back but it’s going to take some time. This might be over by then.”
“It’s worth a shot, go! See if anyone is close that can help out.”
Another rogue comes at me growling. I can see Jena not far from me fighting two rogues in her wolf form. Everyone is fighting more than one rogue, but I don’t see any rogues I recognize. Something is wrong. But I don’t have time to think about it as I am fighting off my rogue. This dude is big, but a little too overzealous in his movements. I grab him by the front leg with my jaw and swing around behind him, but he flails too hard trying to get loose and dislocates his own shoulder and howls in pain. I kicked him hard in the rib cage furthering the injury.
I hear Jena scream next to me then a fierce snarl rip from the trees. She is lying on the ground covered in blood, but I can’t tell from here if it’s hers or her opponent’s. Probably both. I quickly move to my rogue and clamp my jaw down on the spot of his spine where his neck connects to his shoulders and twist. I will not make any of them suffer for too long. I don’t know how many of them are willingly fighting or being forced too.
As soon as he’s done, I move towards Jena, but my brother’s dark gray wolf is already there next to her. I shift and run to him. He growls at me until he realizes who I am.
“Go, Mateo, I’ve got her. The pack needs you right now.” He growls again, but this time he looks down at her, his wolf licks her face and she stirs. “See, we’ve had worse, I promise, she’ll be okay.”
He grunts again and takes out three rogues before getting ten feet from us.
“I need a status from all warriors.”I put out to my team and all the Elite warriors that are here.
Every team checks in, that’s a good sign at least.
“Does there appear to be a leader? Capture anyone who appears to be in charge. Take everyone else out. We have seen the size of their force, this is nothing.”
I try to get Jena moving. Her dead weight sucks, but this is not the first time I’ve had to carry her big ass somewhere.
“Nathaniel, status. I need eyes.”
“Nothing yet Midge, sorry, I’m working as fast as I can.”
“Don’t apologize, just work, something isn’t right. Are your perimeter cams working. Don’t think I didn’t catch that.”
“Yeah, they’re live. Do you have your phone?”
“Yes.” I dig my phone out of my utility pocket.
My phone starts lighting up as Nathaniel sends me feed links. I flip through quickly.
“ALPHA LUCAS! Get to the main entrance now. We have this edge covered. Take all available warriors with you. This battle was a distraction.”
“Jena girl, you need to wake up now! We have work to do.” I checked her over for any wounds, but I think she just took a hard hit to the head. I smacked her a couple times in the cheek, but she only groaned.
“Lil, I have Jena, she took a hit to the head. It looks like there is a second attack coming at the main entrance. My guess is the packhouse is the target. I’m headed there to make sure it’s secure. Keep me updated.”
“You got it boss.”
I just rolled my eyes, shifted and then worked my way under Jena, draping her over my back. Then I took off as fast as I could. “Luna Ava, we need to secure the pups, not all of them are gone yet and a large group is trying to breach the main entrance.”
“On it sweet girl. I have kids heading here and to the school. Are your tunnels functional?”
“Of course. I will head to the school to help corral. I have JEna with me, but she’s knocked out at the moment.”
“We’ll take care of her. Anyone else?”
“So far all of our warriors have been able to check in regularly as teams. Last check in was about twenty minutes ago.”
“Let’s get these pups and Omegas set and then we can worry about the guys who are trained to protect themselves.” She huffs a laugh, like this is an everyday thing.
I get to the school and it is chaos. So
many little pups not sure where to go. I quickly find older kids and give them instructions to the tunnels that
are built under the school to the
As
packhouse as an escape route, quickly as we can we get all the panicking kids down into the tunnels. I take five of the high school kids that have been doing morning training with me to sweep the school just in case any of them had decided to hide.
Once we were sure everything was clear the high schoolers helped me lift Jena, who was weak, but conscious. We head down the tunnels constantly reassuring the kids that everything will be okay, even though that isn’t a promise anyone can make.
Once we get to the packhouse end of the tunnel, everyone is stopped and asking questions in confusion. I move through them like a sea of quick sand to get to the front. As soon as I get there I realize why there is a hold up.
