Chapter 51
***Olivia’s POV***
It was fucking chaos. Nasir has heard them coming first. I knew the south side was getting hit with an attack. Kit and Frank headed up the north end security and would come by every so often to keep me updated. This was the first time we had been hit on two fronts. I guessed they were trying to move the forces around, hitting the south and then coming in from the north with the actual warriors. What they didn’t realized is that Nasir and I were part of the defense.
As much as Desmond had said no, or really Aamon, put his foot down. Who was he to order me around? I still joined the patrols and the patrols made room for me. I would even have some of them rest at my house why I took over if they looked too exhausted. Now though, I was glad I was refueled and ready to go. My swords glinted in the light as we attacked as many as possible.
Apparently, my appearance halted their progress. They had all focused on me and I kne

I had woken up in the hospital with Desmond holding my hand. He looked terrible. His eyes were sunken in and his complexion was pale. He looked like the life had been drained out of him. Whatever he was wearing was also too big. It made him look small and I hated it. It made him look hollow. As soon as I could, I pulled him next to me. I already knew what they were going to say. I knew that if I lived through the attack I wouldn’t be able to use my right arm again. The fact that it worked at all was a testament to the doctors here.What I didn’t appreciate was Vic getting mad enough to want to reach out to Tatiana. She was the last person I wanted to be added to this mix. Healing me came with a price and I was worried this price would be too high. It was getting higher and higher, her meddling in my life getting worse. Vic didn’t understand and he just focused on the fact that I wouldn’t be able to move my arm or fight. After he stormed out, I knew I w

I scratched Nasir’s head. “Sorry. You won’t be able to come with me. I’ll be back soon. I promise.” He whined and nuzzled my hand. “I know. I know. I’ll be back. Promise.” I kissed his head and reached out Tatiana. Normally, her portals were like a pool shimmering in the air. Rippling as you stepped through. This one though was significantly different. It had green tints to the magic. It was more like a tear in the air rather than a ripple of water. Tatiana pulled me through and the magic made me gasp. It was so potent and all consuming, I stumbled. If Tatiana hadn’t been holding me, I probably would have fallen. “Come my dear daughter.” I nodded and took a deep breath. The surroundings now familiar to me. It was nearly the same white vines and stairs that the council room had but instead of opening up into a meeting place, it lead to a small pool. In the center of the pool was a tree that reach

I sat at the table with Liam. He was nervously running his hands over his pants. I took his hand and smiled.“Sorry.” He mumbled.I laughed. “Liam, relax. They are just your parents. Don’t be so nervous.”Just as I said it, Desmond and Helena walked into the cafe. Liam waved and I could see the look of shock on both of their faces but Helena’s quickly turned to anger. She whispered something to Desmond and he looked at her, narrowing his eyes.They walked over to us and I smiled. Liam shifted in his seat.“We waited to order.” I stood up. “I’ll got get the menus and we can eat.” Liam looked at me, fearful but I smiled. “I’ll be right back.”Going to the counter, I asked for four menus. The woman behind the counter smiled but I could tell she was acutely aware that I was sitting at the table with the Alpha, Luna

Smiling whole heartedly, I was proud of Liam. Desmond though, was not. He was back to seething. “She is not your parent, Liam. She isn’t the one who is making decisions about your well-being.”“She could be. At least she doesn’t lie to me and give me bullshit answers.” Liam stared down his dad.Desmond narrowed his eyes at me after he caught the beginning, realizing that Liam knew. Fuck, I was in trouble. If I wasn’t already now I absolutely was.“Vi actually gives a shit. Never once did you actually ask me what I wanted to do. You just sat there waiting for me to tell you. Assuming that I would either take over or go to Washington State. But you never cared enough to ask what my thoughts or dreams were or if they were even obtainable. She actually asked me and then told me it was going to be a fucking hard road to walk, especially with who we are.”&ldq

Nasir was slowing down. We had been running for five days straight. My legs burned as did my shoulders but I refused to stop. I felt Desmond pull hard at the mate bond but I refused to acknowledge it. Refused to let it pull me back. I just kept running. Letting it fuel me to keep going, keeping him and the kids safe was all that mattered. Poor Nasir was not used to cross country running. He did really well and I knew my pace was nowhere near his running speed but the continuous run wore on him.“Up there, there are some rocks. We will rest there. I know you’re tired. I am too. We can rest and figure out where we are.”Nasir barked and he pulled up next to me, pushing with one last bit of strength. We all out sprinted towards the jutted out rocks and once we made it, I climbed up. Nasir easily jumped and we sat down, huffing. I laughed as he rolled on his back and stuck his tongue out.

I feel into a routine easily. I woke up early, helped some of the woman make breakfast for everyone and ate with them when the entire village piled into the main tent. After that I would help out some of the men with chopping trees and replanting as they chopped.It didn’t take me long to realize this place dwelled within a dimension pocket of the forest. The force around this place though was something I had never seen. It was so strong even the ley line back at the territory didn’t effect me as much.It had been a couple weeks already and Nasir seemed to enjoy it as well. He was able to walk around freely, even receiving pats and joined the patrols around the area. Bucho would come visit me and we would talk about magic or werewolves or even just stories of our younger days.“You had to be part of the Mafia right?”“What makes you think I have the disposition to be a mafia boss?”I chuckled, my feet were tucked

***Desmond’s POV***I slammed my hand into the desk. Scott backed away a couple steps, surprised. “Damn it! She probably thinks I walked away from her!”I fell back into my chair, pinching the bridge of my nose. No. It was just a dream. It wasn’t her. She isn’t here. She is gone. I’m just too wound up. Taking a deep breath, I leaned fulling back in my chair. I was in my office at the pack house, where nearly all of my time was now spent.“Alpha?”“Sorry Scott, I fell asleep at my desk. Did you need something?”His eyes narrowed. “When’s the last time you actually had a fulls nights rest?”“I’m fine.”“No, you’re not. You’ve been staying here and I know you haven’t been actually eating meals.”I glared at Scott. “Do you have the revisions for the lake houses? As well as the new patrol

Smoke rose from the clove cigarette I was holding. For the first time in over fifteen years, I needed a smoke and I got one. Janet, the head of the witch coven within the pack, had supplied me with a box she rolled herself. She was sitting in one of the meeting room chairs, a cigarette also pressed to her lips.Iggy and Derek were leaning over the table, looking at the maps I had worked on the day before. Scott was pacing the room while Eli leaned against a chair. Imogen was a fairy who had taken up the gargantuan task of wrangling the fey who were on my territory. She also had been working with the haven that was just outside my territory. I would have liked to have Victor here as well but currently I couldn’t get ahold of him. I did speak to Zeus but apparently Victor had gone off on a quest and didn’t tell anyone about it.“We need to figure out our borders first. Secure them and then we can work inwards from there.” Scott didn’t stop p
