The Alpha Within Her Chapter 9
LUCIUS Seeing Wren at the fire the other night has had my head all messed up. I still hate her, but something inside wants me to get closer. Urging me to get closer. As I walk through the village and pass her at her tent, I turn my head to her and she smiles. I don’t smile back. I don’t want to give her too much. I probably shouldn’t have given her the amount that I have already. As I get to the path to my house, Wren jogs up beside me. “Hey. I…um…just wanted to thank you for the other night.” She fixed her long, black hair that was in a ponytail. “It’s no big deal, really.” I grumble. “It is to me, Lu. I know having me here is uncomfortable for you. It just meant a lot to see how much you love this pack.” She stopped in my yard. I turn. “Seriously, it’s nothing.” I was about to say goodbye when I heard yells from the village. “The hunting party’s back!” Some shouted. I run back to the center of the village with Wren right behind me. The hunting party entered the village. De

WREN“You’re getting pretty good with that thing.” Lucius points to my bow as we walk back to the village.He’s carrying the deer I killed on his shoulder. “Keep this up and we’ll have food for a month.” He quickly smiles.I look down, smiling. “I want to do my part. I like it here. I like the people. I want to help.”He leans in. “Thank you.” He backs off and we continue to walk out of the forest into the clearing.As we entered, we heard shouting.“RAIDERS!! RAIDERS!”Screams rose from the village.“Raiders?” I look at Lucius.“Fuck!” He dropped the deer and ran.With a hop, I ran right behind him.When we got to the village, people were running everywhere.“GET THE CHILDREN OUT NOW!” Lucius yells as we enter the village.Then I saw them. At least fifteen men with weapons. Fighting our men, ransacking supplies. Raiding houses. Women scream as the run with children in their arms.Lucius immediately started grabbing men and hitting them. Throwing them across the village center.I run

WREN“NO!” Lucius yells as he walks away from me.“Lucius, we’re in trouble. We need help!” I follow him out to the spot where he chops his wood.“Forget it, Wren. Not happening?” He grabs a log and places it on a stump and grabs his axe. He swings it up and brings it down on the log, splitting it in two.I sigh in frustration. “Lu. What are you going to do when the rest of the Nomads come down on us? Devlin was right. We can’t fight all of them.”He picks up a half and puts it on the stump. He swings and splits in quarters. “We’ll fight. Just like we always have.” He splits the other half into quarters.He picks up the wood and carries it to his fire. Squatting down, he throws one piece onto the burning pile.“You can’t fight everyone, Lu. You don’t have the fighters!” I flail my arms out to the side.He stands and leans close. “I’m not calling the fucking Alliance, Wren. Drop it!” He growls.“Lucius, please be reasonable here. We have the manpower, the weapons. We can get you anythi

LUCIUS I stand with Curtis on my right side. “What do you want, Xavier?” I grumble. “Lucius. I only want to talk. To see if there’s any negotiation we can do.” Xavier smiles. I raise a brow. “You want to negotiate.” Out of the corner of my eye, Wren joins me on my left. I glance behind me and the Alphas are flanking me. “Lady Alpha. Nice to see you again?” Xavier bows. Wren leans to me. “What does he want?” I lean to her. “He wants to negotiate.” She nods and continues to glare at him. “Name your terms.” I stand firm. Xavier brushes his suit sleeves and steps forward. “Ok. We provide you protection as it were, and you give us one fighter. That’s it. We also call off the other nomads.” He eyes me. “One fighter. That’s it?” I don’t believe him. “One specific fighter to be exact.” He tilts his head down and eyes Wren with that evil face of his. I follow his gaze. “No. Not a chance!” I push Wren behind me. “If we can’t come to an agreement, Alpha, I’ll have no choice but to

WREN“There’s no service!” Luke spins around, holding his phone up to the sky as he walks around the clearing toward the village.I look back. “No. You need satellite phones.”He throws his arms up. “Well, how the hell am I going to play my Playlist now?”“Stop complaining, Alpha.” Alexi walks beside him.He scowls. “Babe, you know I like to fire guns to music.”“You’d be surprised how much you can live without, Luke.” I turn and walk backwards.“Hey, if I can’t hear Black Sabbath at least once a day, I’m grumpy as hell, alright.” He stuffs his hands in the pockets of his jeans.Alexi huffs. “I swear. It’s like dealing with a child.”He points to her. “Hey. This child rocks your world every night, Ok. Remember that.”She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. I laugh and turn back around.We get half way across the clearing and Lucius is standing at the village entrance. His chest is out and his arms are crossed. He has a threatening look on his face.Luke leans to me. “Is that him?”I n

LUCIUS“Ok, Lu. Come on." Luke adjusts my feet and arms while I hold the gun in my hands.I watch him touching me, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.I narrow my eyes. “Don’t call me Lu.” I grumble low.He looks at me and grins. “No problem, buddy.” He taps my elbow straight.“Alright, Tarzan. Show me what you got.” He slaps back.I turn my head to him, scowling.He waves me to go on.I huff a breath and look at the target paper pinned to a tree. I aim the gun and pull the trigger. The guns fires making me flinch. The bullet glances the tree and flies into the forest. I drop the gun to my side and roll my head to Luke.He stands with his arm around his chest and his other hand rubbing his chin. “Ok. Maybe. Here….” He comes behind me and twists my hips. Adjust my feet and arms.I look straight ahead. “Stop…. touching me.” I seethe. He backs off. “Will you relax! No wonder you can’t fire a shot. You’re too stiff. Look.” He grabs his gun and positions himself and fires. He hits the

WRENAfter Lucius' serenade last night, I’m feeling light headed this morning. It was so spontaneous and romantic. My heart swooned as he sang. It brought back all kinds of memories of him playing songs for me when we were kids. I loved it then and I love it even more now.I was lost in daydreams of the past, carrying a load of wood in my arms to the wood pile by the big fire. It was all good until the pile in my arms shifted and I started dropping wood.“Shit.” I look down at the pieces on the ground.“I’ve got it.” Lucius come running and he bends down and picks them up.“Thanks.” I smile.He takes a few more pieces from me. “No problem. I’m going hunting later. Want to come?”“On two legs?” I raise a brow.He chuckles as we walk toward the fire pit. “Yeah. Sorry about my wolf. He can be an ass.”I smile. “It’s fine. I actually….”I was cut off by yelling coming from the training field.“DRAGONS!”I look at Lucius and he looks at me wide eyed.I drop the wood. “GET THE CHILDREN TO T

WRENDealing with this nightmare is weighing on me as the days go on.Lucius' been gone now for almost a month. He’s shifted back, but he’s not out of the woods as the chemicals refused to leave his body fully.So, until he gets back, I’ve been organizing us and waiting for the upcoming Nomad council meeting. The first ever. It’ll be stressful since these Alphas have never been in one place civilly ever. I’ll have to be the Alpha that everyone expects to keep the peace and get the Alphas on our side to beat Xavier.I walk into the courtyard with another pack member.I place a hand on his shoulder. “Make sure you check all the fencing. The last attack damaged it. We have to get that repaired.”“Yes, Lady Alpha.” The man nods and turns on heels jogging back into the clearing.Curtis and Dale met me at the entrance. “Lady Alpha?” Dale smirks.“The Dragons called me that. I guess it stuck.” I shrug.He looks at me and crosses his arms. “I like it.” He smiles.Curtis places an arm out. “We
