'We retake the pack,' Elias states,'Yes, but how? I'd say by force and with an army, but it's just us,' Leroy says.'No army, going in and trying to take the place by force won't work,' I explain, 'plus that would result in countless unnecessary lives lost,''Why won't it work?' Erin and Leroy ask, 'Because, I think, because of my dream there maybe a small chance they know we are coming.' I tell them,'So, we can still take them by surprise,' Leroy suggests.'Yes, by walking in the front door and challenging them for the alpha title, together,' I put out there.'What?' They say both together again, blinking at me, then at Elias, looking to him to call me crazy and tell me no, but he stands his ground in supporting me. 'Together? But they just kill you on sight!' 'No, Think about it,' I go on to say, trying to get them to see it how we do, 'if my dream is right and true, then they need us because they want to put on a show, they want Elias and
Bea POV Meanwhile, at the winter pack house."Out! Now!" I bark at the useless morons in the room and watch as they stumble out the door as fast as they can, I growl at the last few who are taking too long. Once the door bangs shut behind them and I am alone, a smirk creeps onto my face at the control I have over them, as I dial the number I dare not have saved in my contacts. I press the call button and raise the device to my ear as it connects and starts to ring.Ring ring ..... ring ring .... ring ring .... ring..."Answer the bloody phone," I mumble through gritted teeth as it keeps on ringing and ringing and ringing.Ring ring ..... ring ring .... ring ring .... ring... then, finally,"I told you not to call me!" That deep voice of his growls at me in a hush tone, as if he is in ear shot of someone he doesn't want hearing his half of our potential conversation."We need to talk!" I tell him, ignoring his attit
Erin POV 'Leroy?' I ask, reaching out to him through the mind-link,'Erin? Everything okay?' He response,'Yes, but this isn't working,' I tell him,'What isn't?' He asks,'Sparring with Chilli, she needs someone she hasn't trained with her her whole life, someone whose moves she can't read as well as mine or knows too well, someone she thinks will actually hurt her.' I explain,'Okay, what do you need from me?' His voice sounds worried, as if I'm going to ask him to spar with her.'Two things, one, find me this packs best fighter and send them my way, and tell them to pretend to be angry and really go for Chilli, even though she is pregnant,''And the other thing?' He asks worried of what it could be after my first request,'Get Elias's approval,' I can feel his hesitation in my requests,'Okay, I'll get back to you.''Great thanks, when you find someone let me know what they look like, because I have a plan of my own.''Which i
Chilli POV 'Come on Chills, you asked for my help,' Erin sighs at me,'Yes, I know, but I also know you won't really hurt me or her,' I say, pointing to my stomach as I pant a little, she is sure putting me through the ringer, but I just know it's harmless and she won't really hit me, she's not even sparring at half her full strength and neither am I for that matter."Fine, okay then," Erin says, looking around as if in search for something, and stops when she spots a figure walking in the distance. As the figure gets closer I can see it is a young, in shape woman with brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. The closer she gets the more I see that she is naturally attractive and doesn't hide her beauty with unneeded makeup, but the main thing that draws my attention and what I can't take my eyes off of are her tattoo's. As our distance to the woman lessens as she seems to be heading past us, I think aloud to Erin,"Wow, look at her tattoo's, they are amazing."
Erin POV Mmmm, she's holding her own well, maybe too well. Chilli is staying focused on the task at hand, mmmm, I think to myself as I stand just off to the side as Chilli blocks attack after attack from Chant, as an idea pops into my head as I spot Elias and Leroy standing across the way.'Leroy?' I open a mind-link with my mate, 'Yes Erin,' he responds in a loving tone, 'Punch Elias,' I say as if it's no big deal.'Funny,' he laughs to me and I laugh with him, until I say,'I'm not joking.' 'Erin? What your asking is...' 'His not our alpha yet, plus we are all old friends, it will be fine. Look, I'll even warn him.' I tell him,'Warn him? Shit Erin, what are you playing at?' He asks me.'I'll explain later, hold on.' I say as I close the link with him and open one with Elias,'I'm sorry about this,' I say in his head,'Sorry about what?' Elias asks, sounding confused as I drop the link with him and quickly open one wit
"Chilli?" Elias appears next to me, "are you okay?" He asks, wrapping his arms around my waist,"Yes, fine," I say, wanting to feel somewhat annoyed with him, but I can't as his fingertips sneak under the hem of my top and brush against my skin, sending sparks up and along my spine."Good," he sighs with relief, "you were incredible," he adds, gushing slightly, "how do you feel?""Good, fine," I smile at him, "to be honest, I feel like going for a run," I wink, stretching my arms,"A run? Really?" He looks at me with surprise."Yeah, I just wanna run," I smile, but then thinking about everything that is going on, it might not be the right time, but then Elias says,"Okay," he smiles back at me, then his eyes shift to look behide me as he adds, "we can go for a walk in the woods at least," he says touching my stomach and I can't help but give him a puzzled look until he opens a mind-link with me. 'we could shift and have a nice gentle trot through the tre
Chilli POV "Shift?" Chant's raised voice sounds from behind us and I spin round to see her panicked expression before us, with a stranger standing by her side, "but ..." giving us all a bewilding glance."Chant? What are you doing here? Are you okay?" I ask holding my top up to my chest, to try and cover myself up as Elias stands before me and holds my hand, squeezing it tightly as he sheilds me. "Yes, sorry, no," she stumbles over her words, "your about to shift!?" She half asks, half accuses."Yes..." I answer shakerly, feeling like I'm about to step on a bear trap if I'm not careful.But...." she says again, "I'm just confused," she admits with a shake of her head, "I thought... didn't you say she was pregnant?" She asks looking to Elias, "Yes," my mate nods as her face pales,"Then how can you think of letting your mate shift?" She almost shouts in horror, as Erin and Leroy jog over, still mostly dressed."What's going on?" Erin asks us wi
"Hu?" My head continues to buzz whilst it struggles to completely understand everything that is going on, as I look at the colouring of her fur, "well, I guess a little," I say, turning my head to the side."What?" Elias asks, then seems to catch on to what I mean, he then adds, "no, no, not physically, well yes but not red as in red fur, I mean her DNA. She.... remember, when she came out of the woods.. although, were you there? Did you see it yourself or just hear about it from ....." he trails off, then adds, "never mind.... I'm just making this worse, aren't I?." He runs his fingers through his hair, then looks to Chilli again, "a little help here, please?" He pleads with his mate, as he must have realised he is just confusing me further by the look on my face. She must have mind-linked him something because he takes a step back, as the wolf before me does the unthinkable, the impossible, she starts to look like she is glowing with heat radiating off of her as flames en
