Kevin's POV"My lord," Damien and Loki greeted with bows as they passed by where I was, figuring out how to calm my nerves down after watching the most frightening fight of my life.Gosh, I really needed to stop being dramatic.I turned to them, the residual anger I had felt from watching them fight bursting out into the open."You are greeting me now when you almost turned me into a widower?" I questioned them.They looked confused for a moment, wondering what I meant by being a widower when I wasn't married. I doubted they knew what I meant with the way they looked at me. The confusion didn't last long though as they smiled at me, their expression clearing up as they understood what I meant."My lord," Damien began. "We couldn't have done that to you."Loki chuckled and nodded. "He is right. How could we have done that to your mate?"I pouted. "It seemed like that to me. It seemed like you were going to kill her with the way you kept slashing at her face and throwing blows at her."
Kenneth's POVI sat in my office, rolling on the chair as I stared at the birds on my desk. Only four of them were back out of the countless birds I had sent out. I was worried, wondering if the birds had landed safely and the men had gotten my message.It had been four days since I had sent the letters and expected the men to be trooping into the palace but they weren't here yet. I hadn't even gotten a response to my letters and couldn't stop worrying about what the delay was all about.I feared the worst. I feared that the letters had fallen into the wrong hands. I feared that someone totally unrelated to who the letters were meant for had seen the birds flying in the air, shot at them with a catapult and eaten them.My heart squeezed at the thought of my precious birds being turned to meat and ending up in someone's belly. I didn't put precious time in raising them for them to have such a bland ending."Damn it," I cursed, banging my fist hard upon the desk and holding in my wince
Kenneth's POVThey were coming. Today. It was today they were coming and I was so excited. The men had sent other letters and had attached the date of their arrival to it.I was elated that they had all decided to do that. They must have known what a worrying mess I was even without anyone telling them. Good. I smiled, reminding myself why they were worthy of being my soldiers.I checked the calendar again for the umpteenth time, confirming to myself that it was truly today that they were here. They had told me that they had resolved their issues and would be around today. Though they hadn't used the birds that I had sent and theirs that they had groomed and I didn't recognize, I couldn't fail to recognize the handwriting and style of writing of my soldiers. I hadn't painstakingly trained them for years to not know information as little as that about them.I checked the sun, hating that it was soon going down and no longer as bright as it had been hours ago. I sighed, feeling worried
Kevin's POV"Put it on that side." I yelled commands at the men, digging up the grounds with them as well."Yes." They echoed and continued with what they were doing.We had been busy since morning laying traps in the ground. I had learned something while I stayed in the utopia town trying to find a way to rescue Ella and admitted to myself that we needed an edge to beat the rogues, considering how small our number was as compared to the troops that I knew the bastard Kenneth would come with.He was too predictable that I would have said this upcoming war wasn't fun if the lives of those who I cared about weren't involved in it. He thought he was a dangerous wolf but he was not in reality. He was a bully who took delight in attacking the helpless and a coward who wouldn't fight a battle he didn't know if he would win.I had learned of explosives while I was in the utopia town and knew that was our only hope of beating the black wolves with our numbers."Have you filled this side?" I a
Kenneth's POVI stood before the men, looking at them with pride swelling my head. I had already won the battle. I smiled as I looked at the seven hundred men with me, decked in their uniforms and looking as fierce as I felt.I didn't see any way that the men who were not up to twenty could escape alive after the battle.They had already eaten and freshened up and now we were about to have our first meeting. I was glad that they were all here when I had thought that I wouldn't get to see them."What took you so long?" I asked, trying not to groan and show them how much affected I was by their tardiness."We had to wait for the others so we could all come together." Vian, the leader of group five answered.I didn't even know that they had also communicated with one another. It was nice that they had unity and had still kept on to it even though they were apart on duty.I scanned the troops standing before me and scowled when I noticed the absence of group three and group seven. Those w
Kenneth's POV"Onward we march, onward we march to ruin our enemies."I smiled at the lyrics of the song my men were chanting as we moved forward towards the region of the blue river pack where Kevin and his men were hiding like the rats that they were.I never wanted to destroy any part of the Blue River pack. They weren't my enemies and I didn't intend to have them as one but they shouldn't have betrayed me by becoming friends with my friends and hiding them.In the search for rats in a house, some of the precious tumblers might get broken during the chase. For now, this was what I was doing. The territory of the Blue River pack I was going to destroy to kill off the men of the Blood Moon pack was the precious but useless tumblers that had to go in this fight. At the least, the pack wasn't my target and I wasn't planning on killing them all off. I believed they should be grateful for that.I continued chanting with my men, my excitement building up as theirs. I was finally going to
Kevin's POVI felt restless and nervous at the same time. I had never been so on edge all my life. Ever since the men had seen the unknown spy running away from the building, I hadn't been myself as I knew it was only going to take a little while before the war begins.I wasn't scared of wars but I hated a surprise attack which was what Kenneth was planning. That much was obvious that that was what he would do based on who he was and what I knew of him. I wanted them here already before my heart gives out on me even before the fight begins. I had been told repeatedly by my men to not fret but I didn't know it wasn't that hard to not worry.I was anxious enough to make the word jealous. At this rate, if the war didn't start soon, I had no doubt that my middle name was going to be anxiety.I let out a sigh not knowing how many it was that I had released today."That would be the seventh sigh in two minutes." Liam said as he sat beside me.I glanced at him and a small smile coated my lip
Kenneth's POVI should have suspected that something was off when the blood moon wolves didn't move an inch from where they were as my men charged forward.I should have suspected foul play when I saw the smile on Kevin's lips as he watched my men run towards them even though he was about to be attacked by a number of men ten times more than the number of men he had with him.I should have known that no one could be that confident without a reason but my proud mind couldn't relate to that realization quickly and I had caused the death of my men because of that.I had thought that Kevin had given up when he saw my men charge at him and couldn't move to fight because he was rooted in fear. I had assumed that was why he didn't move. Stupid me. I was a bastard as he had called me because I had no doubt that I had disappointed dad with how shortsighted I was.How could I have been believed that they were a pack that would give up? I should have known that they were a pack who would fight t
