Luciana's POVAs soon as Alister left the house, Luciana's mind started to race. She had a nagging feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. Wanting to be near her son, she made her way to Keita's room and laid down beside him. She knew that waking him up was unnecessary, but her maternal instincts were in full swing.As Luciana lay there, she heard another alarm go off, and her frown deepened. "What could be going on?" she wondered. The fact that the alarm had gone off twice was even more concerning. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, but she tried her best to keep calm and not wake up Keita.Just as she started to drift off, Keita stirred in his sleep, and she gently rubbed his back to soothe him. She didn't want him to sense her anxiety, so she put on a brave face and hoped that it was just a false alarm. However, her thoughts kept drifting to the pack of rogues that had attacked Noah's family. Alister had briefed
Luciana's POVLuciana stood there for a moment, breathing heavily, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that she had just taken a life, and it was a heavy burden to bear. But in that moment, she also knew that it had been necessary. She had been fighting for her life, her son and her pack.She looked down at the man's body, feeling a sense of both satisfaction and regret. It was a brutal, violent act, but it was also a necessary one. She couldn't afford to let her guard down, not even for a moment. Not when the pack was under attack.As Luciana stood there, catching her breath, she noticed the second man starting to move towards her, his eyes fixed on her with a look of fury. She knew she had to act fast, before he could grab her or even shift into a wolf.She pulled the knife from the dead man’s heart, watching blood splatter on her floor.Without hesitation, Luciana lunged forward, grabbing the second man by the arm and twisting it behind his back. She pushed him forward, pinn
~ Alister's POV~Alister's mind was racing as he bolted up the stairs towards Keita's room. The sound of his pounding footsteps echoed through the hallway, adding to the tension that was already building inside him. The shout that had come from Keita's room had been so bloodcurdling, so full of fear and pain, that Alister could feel his own heart racing in response. He desperately hoped that he wasn't too late, that he could still save Keita from whatever danger had befallen him.As he reached the door to Keita's room, Alister paused for a brief moment, his hand hovering over the doorknob. He knew that he was about to confront a potentially horrific sight, and he steeled himself for what he might find on the other side. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and burst into the room.The sight that greeted him was beyond anything he could have imagined. The bedroom was in shambles, with furniture overturned and clothes scattered across the floor.Alister's eyes scanned the room
~ Alister's POV~ A whine sounded in the room, pulling him out of his thoughts. Keita was still standing at the same spot looking too bold to be a child. He couldn’t possibly had killed a wolf who was perhaps ten times bigger than his size right? Because the sound had not come from him, but rather the other wolf in the room. What shocked Alister was that instead of the wolf to be attacking Keita or stalking him, ready to tear the child to pieces, it was whimpering at the corner of the room, looking scared. Why would a wolf look scared? Alister was confused and didn't know what to make of the situation. Why would a wolf be afraid of a child? And why hadn't it attacked Keita? Before he could process what was happening, Luciana pushed her way past him and rushed over to Keita. She wrapped the child in a tight embrace, whispering comforting words in his ear. Alister could see that the boy was shaking with fear, but also with adrenaline. He must have been terrified during the attack. As
~ Alister's POV~Elijah's heart pounded against his chest as he surveyed the chaotic scene before him. The ground was littered with the bodies of fallen wolves, both rogue and from his own pack. The air was thick with the metallic scent of blood and the sounds of growls, snarls, and yelps filled his ears.He noticed the path that Alister had cleared for him before he heard Alister’s voice in his head, “ go Elijah! Get to the pack house!... Go” Alister shouted through the mind link.The pack house was the heart of the pack's territory, the place where they gathered and took refuge in times of crisis. It was heavily fortified and well-guarded, but the recent attacks had taken a toll on their defenses. There were some warriors there, but most of them were either injured or not able to defend the pack house. Elijah knew that if the rogue wolves breached the pack house, the consequences would be dire.Alister had already cleared a path for Elijah, but the young wolf hesitated. "Are you su
~ Elijah's POV~The scene before Elijah was one of utter devastation. As he looked around at the corpses of his fallen pack mates and fellow warriors, he felt a sense of hopelessness wash over him. These were wolves he had trained with for years, wolves he had shared countless battles and victories with. And now, they were gone. He felt nauseous, seeing the sights.He couldn't help but gasp in shock and horror at the sight before him, his knees buckling beneath him. If it weren't for Matt, who was holding him up against the wall, he would have crumpled to the ground in despair. It was difficult to come to terms with the fact that so many of their own had perished in this terrible conflict.As he struggled to compose himself, Matt's voice cut through his despair like a knife. "Elijah," he said, his tone firm but gentle. "You need to pull yourself together and tell us what to do. Alister isn't here, and you're in charge now." Matt added.Elijah's mind raced as he considered the gravity
~ Alister's POV~Alister's heart sank as he laid eyes upon Noah, sprawled out on the cold, hard floor of the home he had generously provided for the young man. A wave of emotions washed over him as he observed his son, tears streaming down his face, propping his head up on his leg in a desperate attempt to find solace in this moment of profound grief.With a heavy sigh, Alister slowly made his way towards them, his footsteps filled with a somber familiarity. He had experienced this exact pain before, the anguish of losing a father figure, and he understood all too well the overwhelming sense of hurt, abandonment, and disorientation that engulfed Noah's heart.As he approached, Alister turned to Elijah, who stood quietly by his side, seeking solace in his presence. "The Omega kid?" he inquired, his voice filled with a mix of concern and curiosity, as he sought answers in this sea of sorrow.Elijah's eyes darted around the room, searching for a glimpse of understanding before returning
~ Alister's POV~"Alister," Elijah called, his voice breaking through the fog of Alister's thoughts.Alister let out a weary sigh, forcing back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes. The weight of the losses they had suffered today was heavier than any he had experienced before. He followed Elijah outside, stepping into the aftermath of the recent events. Though the pack members had already carried away the fallen, the air still hung heavy with the scent of blood, a somber reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded.As Omar's sobs subsided, Alister reached out and gently patted the young boy's shoulders, providing a comforting presence as he buried his face in Alister's neck, seeking solace."We need to regroup, to plan our next steps," Elijah suggested, his voice filled with a mix of determination and understanding. "The fallen will be laid to rest with the respect they deserve, but after that, we must address the pack's needs. It won't be easy for a grieving alpha, but y
