Chapter 142
LANCE’S POV
I cling tight to my mate as we make our way into castle.
I don’t want to let her go.
I almost lost her today.
I was lucky Alpha Hardin has a heart in that chest of his, this would have been the end.
“Lance you are literally squeezing life out of me” She cries and I stop walking and hold her tighter with my eyes closed. “Babe, are you alright?” “No, I’m not I almost lost you Yves, they’re could have killed you.
“No, they would never do that. I am still a member of that pack and they all know it is an abomination to kill one of their kind”
“Yves my soul left my body when Hardin held you. All I could think of was the various ways he could possibly end your life. I was so scared”
“I know you were, but you don’t have to be anymore. I’m here and I’m very much alive”
“Please forgive me for putting you in that situation, I promise I’m never going to get you involved in this war again. Please forgive me my love” “Babe I promise it’s okay, please stop lamenting already, you are going to make me cry”
“I’m sorry. I’m just happy that we got home safe p>
“And I’m happy too, now let’s join the others in the living room so we can talk this out”
“Okay” She leads the way to the living room and I can’t help but wonder how she can be so calm about this issue.
She was the one who almost got killed, but I’m the one who seems horrified and scared, she’s not panicking at all and that is freaking me out.
I have always just heard about the bravery and courage of the Wall Street Pack Wolves, right now I have actually understood what it is people talk about.
Someone just had a near death experience and she’s very calm like nothing happened.
Just wow!
“Now that was one mess of an ambush” Kevin, the water Elemental Laments as I walk into the living room.
“Up till now, I’m still unable to figure out where we went wrong”
“We didn’t go wrong any where, we just didn’t plan this out properly” Kevin adds.
“How can you say this? You were there when we drew out this plan and you agreed it was perfect, we even managed to sneak into the pack until we got to the castle, Luna Yves almost got the staff but was stopped by Luna Reign, this was well planned and we all played our parts well, luck just wasn’t on our side” Reed explains and we all go mute.
I agree with him, we all played our parts well, we were just not lucky enough to get the staff.
Damn! Those people are smart.
“I have something to say” Yves speaks up.
“You have our undivided attention Luna”
“I could’nt lift up the staff” she blurts out and we all look at her in awe. “Yeah, I couldn’t lift it up. Before Luna Reign met me there, I was struggling to take it from that shelf but I couldn’t get it. I don’t know why” “I think I know why” Lloyd talks out for the first time today and we all avery our gazes towards him.
“Why p>
“Only an Alpha can hold that staff. No other person”
“And why are you only saying this now?” Yves retaliates “I risked my fucking life to go get that staff, why didn’t you say it was a mission impossible earlier?” She scolds.
“Do you honestly think I wouldn’t have said this earlier if I knew? I didn’t know okay”
“Liar p>
“I’m not lying p>
“Then how come you know now p>
“Because it just occurred to me now, that is the way of the moon goddess, not mine”
“I still don’t believe you. Babe, I’m beginning to suspect this guy, there’s some foul play somewhere. He is a snitch p>
“With all due respect Luna I am not a liar and I will not have call names again. Watch you tongue p>
“What makes you think you can talk to her like that? She is a Luna and you ought to show her some respect!” I defend.
“Silence!” Alpha Ralph scolds and we all go mute. “Do you all honestly think the best way to solve this mystery is for us to keep arguing and pointing accusing fingers at each other p>
“Well, how do you expect her to feel? She risked her life to go get something that’s going to help us all, only to discover that she was up for a mission impossible, do have any idea how aching that is p>
“That still doesn’t warrant her to make such grave accusations against me. Do you have any idea how committed I am to this union? I would never do anything bring us down and you should know that by now!” “Fine! I apologize on her behalf. I’m sorry for the false accusation, it’s not going to happen again” I apologize for the first time in forever and I can feel pride get bruise and hurt but I had to do it I can keep this alliance. I need them all to win this battle.
“It’s okay”
“That’s better. For now, I think we should plan on how to get it and this time around, I’m gonna go into that office myself” “Really? Are you serious right now? You want us to go there again after what we just experienced?” Reed asks in horror.
“So do you want us to stop? Let him win this war?” Alpha Ralph fires back and Reed stays silent.
“I know this sounds outrageous, but for us to have this victory we all want, we need to make the impossible. This is what we need to do”
“Yeah, you are right. We can’t afford to back down just because we got busted. Let’s wait a few days, plan more and attack again. This is a war and of we have to win, we have to keeping attacking for as long as we can to can get what we want. The harvest is ripe, all we need now are laborers to go harvest it. We are the laborers and we have to go harvest if we want to eat. I don’t know if I’m making any sense here, but I hope I am p>
“You are making sense and I’m ready to get on with this until the end. I don’t know about you two” Lloyd says looking at both Reed and Kevin and they nod their heads in agreement.
“Good then, that said, I suggest we all go to our various homes and rest. We shall meet up tomorrow to plan more on the next attack.” Ralph concludes and I immediately rise from my seat and leave the living room with Yves following closely behind.
I swear I will be the one to kill both Alpha Hardin and Luna Reign for humiliating me the way they did today.
They have no idea what is coming their way.
