The War of the Royals - Chapter 129

MADDIE POV

The hot midnight air is heavy and thick, filled with smoke and ash. It billows and blows around us as we witness the funeral pyre for Alpha Pierre, his Delta, their warriors and their innocent civilians. It burns high and hot; the flesh of my face feels sunburned and scorched from how long we’ve been standing and watching. But the heat doesn’t fully register. The tiredness and devastation fills all of us who are present. The quiet sobs and loud wails of the pack’s members mourning their dead fill my heart with grief and sorrow.

I feel so… impotent. Just standing here. Regret churns in my gut for all the actions I didn’t take that day. If I had been faster, would this have happened? Could I have helped more than I did? If I hadn’t been so depressed; mourning the incomplete loss of my mate bond, would I have seen this coming? Were there signs that I missed because I was distracted by emotions?

Despite my feelings of personal failure, I know

So, I wrote Josh's POV, like I said I would. But I realized that it didn't flow well with how I had left Maddie, post battle. Nor did I like how it would blend to go back to Maddie after his sections. It isn't how I planned this, but I think it works better with more Maddie before we go back to Josh again.

I can't wait for the Josh to come home. And I also hope that Maddie is going to make amends with her Daddy. They love each other dearly.

    MADDIE POV “I know I was never meant to be. Selene didn’t plan me like she did everyone else. She didn’t plan my birth, and my ‘destiny’ was really, just busy work for her. To make me feel like I was part of the group. Anyone looking at us as a family can tell I don’t belong. My green eyes cement that for anyone who meets us.” “I still did what I was told though. Because that’s what a good Alpha does, right? We strive for the betterment of our pack and species. Always for others. All I had to look forward to was finding my mate. Maybe I’d finally feel whole and like I wasn’t a mistake, a burden for the universe, if I could find him. “Then to find out on my birthday, at my Alpha ceremony that the man I’m in love with belongs to my best friend. It shattered me. I felt hollow and so incredibly alone, because then I didn’t have any of you nearby to help me with my feelings. It made me feel more freakish than I already did. I never, not once, blamed them

    MADDIE POV I pull up to my pack gates and see Daddy’s Ferrari already sitting to the side, waiting for me. I told my gate guards that he wasn’t welcome, and they have adhered to my directive perfectly. I know he’s tried to see me numerous times, but they always deny him entrance. I roll to a stop next to the gate house and my guards exit. “Alpha.” They address me together and wait for my instructions. “Let my parents in. Alpha Tyson is now welcome on territory. At least for tonight.” They nod as I pull away and I see Daddy pulling in behind me after they wave him in. I park in my spot in the underground garage and slowly make my way inside and to my office. Mama and Daddy are already there on the couch, waiting for me. We always have our serious discussions at the couches in a more relaxed manner where rank isn’t a thing; but not today. I close the door and sit behind my desk. Not that I need to power play him, but this is reiterating th

    MADDIE POV As the embers of the funeral fire are finally burning out, I give my last condolences and hugs to Nicolette and Francois; I need to get back to my own pack and begin making plans with my family on how we will proceed with the threat we can now see. Daddy will be coming back to Black Lake tomorrow with his and Mama’s things so they can begin the pack rebuild; Francois transferred his power to Daddy tonight, just before the funeral. Gamma Gaston gives me a two-finger salute as he helps a few pack members who lost family in the attack make their way back to the pack house for their overnight celebration of life. I am so glad he survived the fight, at least long enough for Nolan to arrive and help Gaston heal with his power. I almost chuckle at myself, which is really not appropriate right now, with the image of Nolan running around the injured with a pack member following with a wagon full of food and drinks. Nolan expends hundre

    MADDIE POV My warriors and I swath a path of death and destruction through the attackers, mowing them down as we move toward the pack house. While the attacking shifters are healthy, they aren’t as well trained as mine. But they are better than Alpha Pierre’s, as evidenced by the bodies we come across. We break the tree line, and I see the closest house is on fire. Actually, most of this neighborhood is on fire. I see dead civilians all over the place and pack members trying to escape the attacking horde, running with their pups and loved ones in their arms. My team and I move quickly through the fiery streets, helping as many as we can by killing those who are a danger. We don’t have time to stop and help the injured, but I know my clean up and medical teams are coming behind me, our standard protocol in event of lending aid for an attack. I take comfort with the thought that they’ll have help soon, but the rest of us have to move on with providing

    MADDIE POV We race to the border, hoping to get to Black Lake in time to help Alpha Pierre’s warriors. During my momentary observation from the eagle’s eyes, I could see close to a hundred wolves, possibly more, making their way to his Eastern boundary line from no-man’s-land, the unclaimed land between our territories. And the wolves I saw clearly didn’t look sickly and weak. They looked strong and healthy, a much more formidable force than the last group we fought. I can hear my own warriors falling into formation behind me. Hundreds of paws pounding the earth in warning of our charge. It is exhilarating, and adrenaline inducing, yet a comforting balm too. I never have to question if my people will be there. That is part of being a good alpha and leader. Other than the random bad apple in the pack, the rest of your people support you because you support them and make them a priority. And I have, time and time again. As evidenced by my being here,
