Zack’s POV“She might be strong but she is still just a civilian,” I said. The elder spread his arms around him. “We need all the help we can get,” he said. “The phone lines have been cut, our phones can’t connect to the pack as we are literally having a network jam right now. “The roads are filled with rogues who want our heads, we can’t even send anyone to aid us in this battle. The telegram room was destroyed due to the last boulder attack which cuts us off. We need all the help we can get.”He was right, but when I looked at her, I felt like I could handle things my way.There was no need to leave her to fight a battle that was my battle. She wasn’t my mate. I might have made a mistake by bringing her to this place.“No,” I said again. “I would suggest we leave her out here to care for the fallen heroes and instead handle the situation silently. We don’t need to have her involved in this battle.”He nodded before we looked to the skies to see that the sun was going down. It woul
Kayla’s POVThey all nodded as we zipped to the gate, packed the dead bodies aside and exited with the other guards closing the gate after we were gone.***I stood at the edge of the forest, my heart filled with a burning desire for revenge. The rogues had ruthlessly destroyed our base, causing pain and loss. They couldn’t handle their stupid loss so they had to resort to dirty tricks of tossing exploding boulders into our base.I was going to fish them out and make sure they regretted their actions. They had no idea the warriors they had dealt with.On the other hand I was still an amateur to this war thing. I wasn’t strong enough to handle these kinds of things. Maybe if I had come with the alpha I would have confidence but being with these warriors I wondered if we could handle the threats lurking within the shadows and if I would not be killed off really easily.With a determined expression, I inhaled deeply and rallied the trusted warriors. We would handle this ourselves and I w
Kayla’s POVWith each fallen rogue, my vengeance burned brighter. The forest quickly became a battleground, littered with the dead bodies of the rogues who had dared to cross my path. I could see my warriors fought valiantly, their determination matching my own and this made me smile, knowing that they fought not just for revenge, but for the safety of the base which would be used for future stacks.As the last of the werewolf rogues fell to the ground, I stood amidst the aftermath of the battle, my chest heaving with exhaustion and triumph as I looked to the skies with closed eyes. I couldn’t believe I had led a successful battle and I was too exhausted to have seen the rogues still lurking in the forest.The forest was still, the air heavy with the scent of victory. I surveyed the scene once again, my eyes filled with a mix of satisfaction and sorrow.Though the battle had been won, I knew that the scars left by the rogues' destruction would never fully heal for me. To the alpha th
Zack’s POVI looked to the evening skies to see that the sun had gone down completely.Shoot! This was going to be a very rough day for me. I would have to go beyond my capabilities to handle whatever challenge would come tonight.I was mad at Kayla for running off on her own instead of being with me.Did she not know how dangerous it was out there? It was late. How could she do this? She could die.I heard multiple howls which had me zipping into the forest to protect her.She needed to be kept safe and not be in the war zone.I zipped into the forest hoping that I would not be too late when I felt something running after me.Just then, something whizzed past my ears as I noticed they were bullets.I could tell they were wolfsbane infused and immediately whipped around to face the two creatures shooting at me.I placed my palms on their faces before I brought them down to the forest floor forcefully, smashing their brains out like it was nothing.The incoming creatures saw what I had
Zack’s POV“The war is over,” I said to the surprise of the men in the room. “We should get back home and I’ll handle this when I am ready for it.”“Alpha,” an elder spoke up. “We lost a lot of men today. I don’t want to give this fight up.”“Do you want to go into that forest and fish out the numerous rogues who seem to be coming out of a portal? Have you seen the amount of rogues showing up? They don’t seem to stop. They keep on showing up like flies. You don’t want to be in a terrible position and get caught with them.”“But giving up right now doesn’t seem like the right idea. We can keep on fighting like we have been…”I glanced at them as they all shivered before pulling out of the room leaving me alone.I was done with their stupid plots.Tonight was going to be a very long night filled with battles and maybe a few deaths.The night systems were up to detect the threats and neutralize them but I knew that the systems were not perfect. They would not take out everyone. That was
Kayla’s POVWhen we were done with the place, we sat on the hood of the car, looking at the road we would travel through.It was broken from all the bombs we had witnessed throughout the other day.It was peaceful this morning. The forest had the animals giving off sounds which had me feeling nostalgic about the farm back at home.I shook my head. That was not my home any longer.“What are you thinking about?” Zack scattered my thoughts as I smiled at him. “It’s beautiful out here. The nature seems untouched.”“It used to be a farm where we would have lots of animals grazing and crops planted but now it’s mostly just overgrown bushes with the rogues living in it.”He looked at the house. “I’m going to miss this place. I might not see this place when I get back. The rogues would have destroyed it by then.”I felt sad for the house which had protected me and him. It was supposed to be a wonderful place free from rogues but it wasn’t.He entered the car as I did the same and he drove us
Zack’s POVI couldn’t hold myself with how happy I was as I lifted her up into the air with my body quivering with so much emotion.I had expected her to still be mad at me that I killed her mother but she wasn’t like that. Instead she had accepted me and agreed to be my Luna.We kissed for sometime before I decided to tell her what I wanted her to know.“Thank you so much for accepting to be with me throughout all of this,” I said while she laughed. “You don’t have to thank me. I like you too, silly. Although I am heavily pregnant with another man’s child. I don’t think that’s going to work out with you as the alpha. Do you still want me to be your Luna?”I didn’t find this to be a deal breaker. Her being pregnant just solidified my claim to the throne as a father. She didn’t need to worry about that.“Your child is my child regardless of who the father is,” I told her. “I will love the child just as I would love anyone of mine. I don’t mind that you’re carrying another man’s child
Zack’s POV“Your father didn’t send me,” he said with a straight face. “I came of my own volition. I’m only here to make sure you don’t make any mistakes.”He said those words like he was sure I was making the wrong decision. I already had someone I wanted to be with. Was that so hard to understand?They all treated me like I was some kid who didn’t truly understand the lessons of life. But I did, they just didn’t want to accept my true feelings for Kayla.“Whatever you want to say, I’d advise you to be careful before you say them. I’m on a short fuse today and I don’t want to be mad at anyone.”“But alpha,” he ignored my warnings while going on to say what he wanted to say. “Your father is only looking out for you. He doesn’t want you to make the mistakes some alphas make which results in the destruction of the pack.”“The pack isn’t getting destroyed. What’s so bad about wanting to have a Luna who is already pregnant?”“The child isn’t yours. She is not fit to be a Luna. She has bee
