Yeti’s POV Watching Kevin fumble in front of Sally the witch as a lot of people now called her was the highlight of my day. Sally was still being kept in a cell for processing, since technically she was an armed member of Derrick’s army when we found her and Amber had demanded we brought her home. At least now we knew why Derrick kept her in his army. She was powerful. Not just your run off the mile kind of power. It was the kind that came naturally and had been fine tuned into a deadly weapon. But Sally confessed it wasn’t something she liked to do often. She had trained because Derrick demanded. It was either that or watch her brother die. From the moment we found her brother and brought him back to her, I spent most of my free time down here, getting to know the girl. I had brough Kevin with me, but Sally refused to see anyone, no matter how much we promised, begged and pleaded that she was safe with us. She had however, let us check her brother, but only under her watchful
Amber’s POV Eventually, Alpha Dale moved to clean himself up. Moving slowly through the room without bothering to cover his nakedness. I snuck a look at his ass and bit my lip at the sight of it. Goddess, wasn’t I the luckiest girl ever? When the bed dipped with his weight again, he finally broke the silence. “I’ve been thinking about it. We might have to shift the ball again. It was supposed to be today, right?” I turned my face just enough that I could meet his eyes but I found that he had closed them, his dark lashes fanning out over his cheeks, and I enjoyed taking a minute just to stare at him, marveling at his beauty. “I didn’t think it was going to work either way. I already sent out letters to let all Alphas know we were cancelling. I know its literally impossible for us to do anything we want right now. The battle isn’t over and we can’t risk the lives of so many people.” He shrugged, his face barely changing. “I’m sorry. We should have done this for your sake but…How a
Amber’s POV I didn’t remember falling asleep but I woke up close to Alpha Dale’s face as I could get without actually touching him and we were in our room. How did we get here? I didn’t suppose Janine or Trent brought us here. Was it him? Did he wake up? It was slightly arousing like this, that we were sharing breaths but not really touching anywhere else. Being so close, feeling his breath on my cheek moved something in my chest that I was sure would never be moved back. “Amber?” I smiled at the sound of his voice, meeting his pool of blue eyes. “Dale. I’m here. Don’t ever do that to me again” I whispered against his nose, pressing my face into his as silent tears tracked down my cheek, staining his face. I heard him sigh and then his big arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. “I was having the most annoying dream...” “Oh?” “You were yelling at me... for getting stabbed.” I snorted. “You did get stabbed. Do you remember that part?” He grinned faintly. “Vaguely. Re
Dale’s POV I woke in an unfamiliar bed. That was the first thing I noticed. That and the fact that I was not dead. Panic rose in my chest as I tried to move but found my movement restricted. I squeezed my eyes shut and forced my brain to remember the last thing I saw but nothing came. The last thing I recalled was getting sliced. There was no question in my head about what has happened, because it had been pretty clear. I had felt the pain in my shoulders first and then struggled to shut Amber out before she felt it too but it was too late. Then I had felt my body start to shut down. My wolf had gone down first, even now, I couldn’t feel him the way I was supposed to. He was in my chest, but he was sleeping, dormant in a way I never felt before. When I opened my eyes again, I blinked until my vision adjusted and cleared enough that I found Amber sleeping peacefully next to me. She was dressed in the same clothes she had worn the last time I saw her. When exactly was that even?
Amber’s POV There were gunshots and growling everywhere around us. While Izzy and Fabian did most of the fighting, they, at the same time tried to protect us. Yeti was suing her own with abilities to push back Derrick’s army as much as she could but it still wasn’t enough. After fighting for what felt like hours, we found the children, and that was the only time I allowed myself to breathe. “Silas have found our men!” one of Alpha Dale’s soldiers trailing us announced. “Silas have found our men!” I smiled. We got what we came for this time. Closing my eyes, I tried to concentrate as I pulled the bond in my mind, using it to search for where Alpha Dale could be. I found him only moments later, approaching what I assumed to be a tent. ‘Come back,’ I said through the mind link. ‘We have everyone we came for.’ There was a minute of silence before he replied. ‘This is our best chance. With your abilities still pulsing through my wolf, I can take Derrick out and he won’t even know w
Amber’s POV Alpha Dale was very clear about what the mission for today was going to entail and what my role was. I was just thankful he agreed to let me come with them this time. I glanced at Janine by my side and winced. I don’t know how she managed to convince Beta Trent to let her go to the battlefield again, or even Alpha Dale, but she was one strong woman. This time, I wasn’t going to let anything happen to her. Once again, I was to stay with Izzy and Fabian, while Alpha Dale, Beta Trent and Silas pushed forward to deal with as much of Derrick’s army as possible. My job was to take out as many of the hounds as possible. And Alpha Dale was very clear about what I was to do with Derrick if he was actually there. Absolutely nothing. “Shouldn’t I see if my abilities are now strong enough to take him out? It’s a theory I’d love to test out. I mean, it’s worth a try.” I argued, but Alpha Dale shook his head. “Silas and I will deal with him. If the information Noah gave us is a
