Chapter 20: Wolf’s Rain
Rhys's P.O.V:
My fighters were let out of whatever dungeon they had been put into to prepare for the fight. In the end, the only preparation we could be doing at such short notice was getting used to everyone’s fighting techniques and learn about the snipers positions so we stay out of their firing range. Since contact with my third, Adrian, seemed impossible for some reason even without the static of the Jharna and even via a sat phone, I was forced to train with Mikalya's....women....and men, and as much as it wounded my pride to admit it, but I have to say that her warriors are pretty good. While I have only a handful of wolves heavily trained in military techniques, she had all of her wolves’ trained military style.
Zyane had been right about what he said back in Shiwalik village, my mate is a hell lot stronger than me. And for once, I feel damn proud to admit that.
Chapter 21: Bloodbath Mikalya's P.O.V: "Get ready everyone! Those bitches will be here before the estimated time. We cannot let them catch us off guard!” I raised my voice higher so that it was enough for the people gathered in front of me to hear it. But at the same time it was low enough so as not to echo outside the main pack house. These mountains could carry voices for a considerable amount of distance and I wouldn’t want the enemy to know what we were planning beforehand. I barked out orders for attacking patterns and hiding places in the caverns in the mountains, those places would be best for hiding the snipers who would be able to take long distance shots. It would be difficult to take out the choppers but we'll have only one perfect shot before the enemy find out about the location of the snipers and fires back. My people will have to relocate to another position immediately. And these Alphas were bri
Chapter 22: Stay away from my mate Mink's P.O.V : "They’re not stopping!" I whisper yelled, trying not to disturb the white silence around us. "Do they not sense you?" "Not yet." He looked at me, his eyes wolf golden, voice hushed. "I can’t use the bond until they are close enough. There are a lot of warriors from my pack in that huddle, about fifty of them. I need them to come closer, to see me first before I use the pack link. And if they don’t stop, try and use an ex -" "No explosives!" I cut him off immediately. "That has to be a last resort for us. There are military camps all around us and if the explosions reach the camps then it can start a war between countries. We have to avoid that at all costs. If they don’t stop, there will be only one way left for us to stop them." To take down the first line by firing bullets. The sniper guns had silencers and it won’t disturb the environment around us. He gave
Chapter 23: The Battle Rhys's P.O.V: "STAY AWAY FROM MY MATE." The words reverberated through the mountains and through my mind, over and over again. Mate! She accepted me as her mate! "Whoa!" "What the hell?" Groans sounded from all around us. The wolves who weren't used to Mikalya's power took some time to get her voice out of their head. Hierarchy can go fuck itself, I was too damn proud of Mikalya to think otherwise. "What on earth was that?" Aiden asked, rubbing the side of his head. "You didn't think she was joking about being an Alpha, did you?" I asked smugly. Wipe that stupid smile off your face. It looks creepy. Love you too, darling. Even if Mikalya's glare went unnoticed by the others, I'm pretty sure they heard the growl. "How-who the hell are you!" Devon growled, one of his hands r
Chapter 24: All part of the plan Mikalya’s P.O.V: "Noooo!" Rhys roared, wolf in his eyes. "How could you? My men have their family in Jever!There are cubs!Call off the attack Devon and challenge me like a man if you have the guts to do so!" Devon and Aiden roared with laughter instead. "We both know we can't beat you in a fight that easily even if we team up." Devon admitted, still smirking. "So we planned to get you out of our way with a different approach." "What?" Rhys and I looked at each other frowning and then back at Devon and Aiden while the rest of the world stood still around us. "We'd heard about the White Alpha for quite some time now." Aiden said. "We knew what happens to every trespasser that dares to enter these lands without permission. We know how ruthless this pack is. It was your fault for not gathering enough information before you came here, wagging yo
Chapter 25: A Battle Won Rhys's P.O.V: A prior warning, Mikalya, before you nearly give me a heart attack. All I got in return was a smug look. And why didn't you tell me your pack had invaded theirs? And why didn't you tell me you knew about Devon and Aiden? Are there any- One question at a time, Rhys.Mink gave me a pointed look from the corner of her eyes.I didn't tell you before about my pack because if you knew you'd challenge me straight away and try to capture my people. And I didn't tell you about these losers because this was my pack’s secret. My spies are the ones who warned me when they saw you coming and confirmed my hunch that these two had finally made their move. As for your final question, no. I don't have spies in your pack. You stayed away from me and so did I. We turned our attention back to the disaster twins to find both
Chapter 26: A Brief Reunion Mink's P.O.V: Laughter. I could hear it from here. Coming closer...so close now. He was right behind me, chasing after me through the golden hued mountain meadows into the twilight. I kept my pace light, running at a slower pace, because I wanted him to catch me, to sweep me off my feet. His dark brown hair was swept back by the breeze and kissed by the golden hues of the setting sun. His topaz eyes were filled with laughter as he chased after me. His face was forever etched into my mind, my heart and my soul. He looked like a prince from a faraway land who had left behind the confinements of his castle and come to chase after his little nomad princess. I couldn’t believe I’d been so lucky to have found him, in a land that had once been the cause of my nightmares, but now that land was a pleasant memory. A memory where a lone wolf found her other half. “Stop! You know yo
Chapter 27: Pack Mink's P.O.V: "Ugh!" I groaned as I awoke. My shoulder was killing me and I couldn’t even move my arm because of it. "Hey," Rhys's voice came from next to me. "Are you in pain? I'll go get Belle!" I caught his hand when he would have gotten up. "Stop, Rhys." I groaned again as the movement caused my shoulder muscles to flex. "I'm fine. Just...extremely sore." "Damn wolf! Biting you is supposed to be my job!" Rhys joked. "Shut up!" I let go of his hand once he sat back down on...whatever he'd been sitting on and rubbed the sleep off my eyes before opening them. "What the-back off, what the hell are you hovering over me for?" "Well, I was just checking to see if you were comfortable,” he told me. “There’s no need to be rube, I did have your back when you were down.” "I could've gorged your eyeballs out for being so close to me with my eyes shut, that's usually what I do t
Chapter 28: Finding a Way Mink's P.O.V: "You're trying to get rid of me?" He asked looking stunned. "That's beside the point; you're an Alpha and your Pack needs you now, more than ever. WildRain needs you to make them feel safe and protected and you’ve already been away from your pack for nearly three weeks now." It wasn't easy accepting the fact that I’d gotten used to having him around but it was time to be practical. Rhys had earned my respect when he had stood with me in the front line, fighting against his own pack when they had been led astray by Aiden and Devon, but that doesn't mean that I'm about to declare my undying love for him to the whole world from my rooftop. Love takes a long time to develop. He may have my trust but he was far from acquiring my love. "We still have a lot to discuss, Mikalya. You've accepted me as your mate in front of not only your pack but mine too. There's no running from it now."
