He hit the bright red button on the wall next to the door. Metal steel came down over the windows and back door of the packhouse. Aldric threw the pack door open, running out it as quickly as he could. He only had minimum warriors left. He didn't know if they could survive another attack. Women, children and elderly get to the pack house as quickly as you can. We're locking down. He mindlinked the pack. They all knew the drill, he could see them running across the field to the pack house. The few men he had were defending off the rogues just on the other side. Xyler pressed beneath his skin wanting him to shift. Waverly He sent out the mindlink looking for her. He
Meeting: “Alpha your meeting with the Cold River Packs Alpha Aldric any minute.” Luke said to his Alpha. “I know. I really don't have time for this.” Rhett growled. “I don't know what he expects me to do to help his pack, We are doing everything we can here for ours.” Rhett sighed. ‘I know Alpha. It was gracious of you allowing this meeting to hear him out.” Luke agreed. “What are you going to tell him?” Luke asked after pausing for a moment. “I am going to hear him out and then tell him no. I will offer them some small supplies and homage for the night or two but we can't keep them.” Rhett said, annoyed. “Alpha. The Cold River Alpha Aldric is in the waiting room with his Beta.” Priscilla said, knocking on the door bowing her head to him as she spoke. Rhett sighed annoyed, looking from the papers on his desk to Priscilla. He opened the top drawer of his desk and scooped all the papers into the drawer. He looked up to her, rubbing his forehead annoyed. They had been allies for
Release: Rhett was frustrated, Hendrix was relentless. Rhett had been pacing his office for hours now. He needed a release. He sighed giving into the need to go for a run. The night had fallen and he walked outside his pack house. He stretched quickly looking up at the stars. A thought entered her head. He wondered if the rogues would turn Aldric’s pack domain into their own land. That could be a problem. He knew that rouges did not travel together, it was usually lone wolves or a family but the way attacks were on the rise, he wondered if something more was happening. He needed to know more about the attacks that Aldric’s pack faced. He stretched again trying to force the stress from his body. He was the reason his pack was surviving. He had thought of every possible measure to take. When they got wind of a famine coming they went self reliant. Growing their own food and crops, ensuring they had their own water supply. He made sure he had herbs for medicine on top of medical supplies
Childish: “He left? The whole pack is gone?” He said confused. “Yes Alpha, the whole pack up and abandon everything. Everythings empty.” He said, bowing his head. “Where would he go? How could he leave?” The Alpha yelled, slamming his fist down. “I’m sorry Alpha Calvin I do not know.” He said, hanging his head. Calvin growled angrily. He wanted to ruin Aldric. He wanted to make sure he was reduced to absolutely nothing before he killed him. It's what he deserved. He paced the camp becoming angrier and angrier with each step. Where the hell would he go? “Micah send the scouts. There’s not too many packs out there that can withhold more members. Find Aldric.” Calvin growled. Micah bowed his head and left Calvin alone. It was only a matter of time now. He had whittled away at Aldric’s pack slowly killing off his warriors, leaving just the woman and eldery. He had disguised it all as rouge attacks. He was to blind by the loss to realize how strategic it all was. There were all
Struggle:Two o’clock came too quickly. Rhett was pacing the floor in his office. Rhett looked at the clock he had five minutes till two. Luke kept glancing at him. Luke finally got annoyed enough and decided he was going to ask Rhett what his problem was.“Alpha, are you ok?” Luke asked.“Fine.” Rhett responded sharply.“Don't be like that. You know fine isn't a real answer. What’s going on with you?” Luke said rolling his eyes, talking to Rhett as his friend and not his Alpha.“I … I don’t know. I just -The knock on the door made Rhett stop talking. Luke frowned and got up from his seat. He watched Rhett retreat behind the desk. Luke looked at him confused. He never saw his Alpha act like this. He was putting a barrier between himself and Alpha Aldric. He had seen Rhett kill without batting an eye. He was dangerous in battle and well respected. Luke paused with his hand on the door handle looking back at Rhett. He watched him grit his teeth and nod to Luke telling him to open the d
Plotting:Xyler wanted to shift. Aldric fought against him. He felt it too. He wanted to run back into that office and demanded that Rhett confess what he was feeling. The mate bond was tugging and pulling at him; it felt like he was going to be torn apart. Aldric walked further away from the pack house putting distance between them. He didn't know how long he could do this. Reaching the housing area where his pack was, Xyler settled down seeing the people he was fighting for. Outside the home several small children were running around playing. A small golden-haired girl spotted him and ran towards him. Aldric smiled seeing her. He kneeled down and the little girl crashed into him laughing. “Alpha! Where have you’ve been? Your missing hide and seek!” She giggled.“Kristy! How many times must I tell you not to bother the Alpha!” Kristy’s mother said coming towards them.“Now you're gonna get us both in trouble.” Aldric laughing and poking Kristy.“Alpha, I am so sorry. We mean no disr
Training;Waverly followed Aldric out onto the field. Luke was waiting for them, greeting Waverly with a smile as she approached him. Aldric caught it and smiled to himself. He still had hoped that Waverly might have a happy ending after it all. There were several soldiers lined up and waiting. Others were already sparring or training. Aldric looked over the men and he could see they all physically looked the part. He began sizing them up to see if they were actually as lethal as they should be. Aldric noted that there were no women present.“Where are your women?” Aldric asked and felt Waverly’s presence; he knew she was thinking the same. “We have enough warriors that we only train the few that need to be.” Luke said with a shrug.“A word of advice from experience. Every member of your pack should know how to fight. Right down to your children: The world we live in right now. No one is safe and you will never know what the end result will be.” Aldric said not looking at Luke as he
Hospital: Mate. The word hit Rhett like a mac truck. Did he say it to him? Was he hallucinating? It had to be the lack of oxygen. There was no way he was talking to him. Maybe he was thinking about someone. Rhett tried to justify what just fell out of Aldric's mouth as he rushed to the car. He began panicking as Aldric lost consciousness. He needed to get to the hospital now. Did you want it to be about us? Hendrix asked. No, what are you saying? Rhett answered back as he got Aldric in the car. Listen, I can't handle your commentary right now. Rhett growled at Hendrix. Waverley was following behind and pulled open the passenger side door for Rhett. Rhett placed Aldric in the car and rushed over to the driver's side. It didn't take him long to jump in and speed off. He barely left enough time for Waverly to slide into the back seat. Waverly leaned the passenger seat back so she could keep an eye on Aldric. Rhett had sweat beaded across his forehead. He glanced over at Aldric
