All Chapters of Fated to the war general : Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

Kane's POV I have just defeated one rogue, throwing him off my body. Standing, my breath comes out heavily and I look over the destruction before me. The pack is in shambles, houses are broken, and the smoke from the burning wood stings my nose. Our plan A has failed. Some of the pack members are still fighting off rogues. Their growls and the sound of wood breaking fill the air. My eyes dart among the fighting wolves and destroyed houses. Everything has been torn by the chaos. Yet, the rogues don't relent in their attack. I quickly scan through the commotion for any sign of Ezekiel. In the distance, I spot Nora struggling with two rogues. I rush towards them and push the rogues away. Without giving any chance to recover, I slit one's throat with my sharp claws. Nora fights off the second one. Another rogue approaches her and I join her in doing away with it. We walk out from between the houses into the open space where more fighting is ongoing. The air reeks of smoke and fresh b

Delilah's POVI continue to pace about the room, worried. Cecile left me about thirty minutes ago and she hasn't been back. I wonder if she's okay? What exactly is going on?Worry lines trace over my forehead. Hundreds of thoughts barrage my mind at once. Where's the general? Is he fine?A sharp pain courses through my head and I hold it, groaning. It has been like this since I first stood up from the bed. Cecile says the pain is due to the impact of the rogue hitting me.It's been hours now, and I've been resting. When will I get better? I put my hands on my waist and let out a sigh. The door to the room opens and Cecile rushes in. Quickly, she locks the door behind herself and goes to sit on the bed. She's breathing fast and her right hand is placed over her chest."What happened?" I ask her, almost panicking myself."Rogues. They've completely surrounded the house.""What?" My eyes widen in surprise. "I thought they weren't much here."Cecile shakes her head, still trying to catch

Nora There's definitely no way into the building without fighting the rogues. They cover the entrances like it's their birthright. I look over at Ezekiel. From his expression, I know we're thinking the same thing."Come on, this way," I say and lead them around the house to a place I think is more accessible. The rogues don't notice our movement so we don't get any disruptions at first.On the back side of the house, the number of rogues is less than at the front."Okay, here's what we're going to do," Ezekiel says. "I will create a distraction and draw the rogues in my direction. Nora you'd take the girl in when the coast is clear enough.""Then I'll lead you to Delilah," the girl says."Yes. But what about you, Ezekiel?" I ask, a bit worried."I'll meet up with you guys later. Don't worry about me."He separates from both of us to start carrying out his part in the plan."Hey!" he shouts at the group of rogues in front of him. They turn around and immediately start growling vicious

Kane's POVI quickly lift Delilah off the ground and carry her to the house. Cecile opens her room for me to place Delilah on her bed. The nurse, Rosaline, comes to check if there's anything medically wrong with her. Rosaline inspects her body and checks her vitals. "She has a thready pulse. It took a lot of energy for her to transform and carry out all the activities she did. I'll come back with some medications for her." The nurse leaves and comes back later with the medication. We manage to give the medicine to Delilah while she's half awake before she returns to her slumber. When everyone else has gone, I sit by Delilah's bed quietly, hoping she will be alright. Somehow, I feel responsible for her safety. But she really needs to stop being reckless. The door opens softly and I turn around to see Nora walking in. "General Kane," she calls and comes to stand beside where I'm seated. "How is she holding up?" "Good. The nurse says she will be up by sunrise." Nora allows the sil

Kane's povFunny how things can change in ways we don't expect. I look sideways at the woman sleeping in my arms. For years I've held my heart in a tight corner, locked away from the world. Yet, here she is, the woman who has managed to penetrate my walls. I continue patting her dark hair softly. The blanket covers only part of her body, granting me some nice views in the dimly lit room. I smile at the sight. Delilah is indeed beautiful. How did I never notice?"Finally, we've both come to an agreement," Alexander says within me and I smile. I caress her cheek and plant a kiss on her forehead before turning to leave the bed. Picking up my clothes, I quietly put them on and moved towards the door to leave the room. "Kane?" Delilah calls from behind me. I turn around, not expecting her to be awake since it's like two in the morning. She raises herself on the bed and holds the blanket in place on her chest. "You're leaving?" "I'm just going for a walk."She comes down from the bed
