Everything in me told me to throw Zach the fuck off my pack lands. His problems were not my problems. If Zander was dumb enough to come for Tyra then he’d have a war. But until that time came, I saw no reason to get involved. I eyed Nate and he just looked put out. “There’s a cabin about half a mile in, I’ll let you stay there tonight. I’ll speak with my team in the morning but I really see no reason to help you. I’ll have someone bring towels and some things you can make breakfast with. None of your people are to leave that building until you speak to me again. If you do go wandering off, my patrols will attack you. Nate will show you the way,” I said, firmly.“We appreciate it,” Zach said, putting out his hand. “Forget it,” Tyra said, ta

~Zach’s Point of View~ “There’s just got to be some options. Is there any chance of using the leverage of Jake’s new mate to get the White Falls pack to help us,” I said to Ryan.“Little ironic that they named their pack after some falls and a hot spring that was actually on Blood Claw’s lands,” Jake snorted. Jake and a couple of my warriors had come to my pack from Blood Claw but they were young when it fell, and didn’t have much to do with everything that went down. Jake had only just gotten his wolf a few months ago but he was damn impressive and I’d promoted him straight away.“What happened to the rest of their packlands,” I asked. 

Everyone agreed to use Alpha Heath’s lands as a staging point since he was the closest to Long Tooth. We needed to be organized but we also wanted to strike quickly. Everyday that passed was another day for Zander to potentially gather more rogues.  “We need a couple more points to set up, we’re going to have to get maybe two more on the other side of his lands,” I said, looking over maps. “It’s going to get harder to have a large presence here without drawing attention, especially with his rogues trying to jump over the line all the time,” Pike said. “Yeah, I know we don’t want to rush this but I don’t think we have a choice. We need to strike ASAP, and by that I mean like tomorrow night,” I said. “I’m leaving now to go meet with Zach’s Beta and see what their

~Ridge’s Point of View~ Maybe I should have noticed, but I didn’t. The Alpha for Pale Moon, Tyra’s previous pack, had been gone all day. Now that I was seeing him again, I was curious. I gauged who he was speaking with, Alpha Fox from Hollow Hill. He had been gone all day too.“Alphas, anything new to report,” I asked, barging in on their conversation.“Yeah. We were out just getting a few things for a contingency plan, should be coming up any minute,” Fox said.I raised my eyebrow and looked at Nate who had just gotten to my side.*I only just found out, they got weapons,* Nate said, over mind-link.Fox and the others had tu

~Tyra’s Point of View~ “He’s just so incredible! I mean yeah, he kind of looks like a caveman, and ohh let me tell you he was rough with me like one too! But I fucking loved it,” Vanessa said, rubbing her arms.“Do I have to hear this .. all night,” I whined.“Yes! You do damn it! If I can’t gush to you about my mate, then I only have mom and that’s just not happening,” she said, plopping on the bed.My parents had gone to Ridge’s pack, to help with things while most of the men were gone. We’d called them about an hour ago and they were wrangling some pups, trying to help get them ready for bed.“But even though he’s huge and sol
