All Chapters of The Alpha's Guardian: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

*Ali POV* Dread fills me as my tin cup of coffee falls to the ground, clattering on the dirt and stones. The hot liquid inside sprays across my face, but I feel no pain. Only a heavy feeling of fear. Something happened to Wade or his pack. I know it, I can feel it. I turn on my heels and run for Corbin’s office; I slam the door open, finding an unphased Corbin and very stoic-looking Simon. They must have known. “You knew?” I spew at them. Simon chuckles slightly, looking over to Corbin “Told you so.” he smiles. Corbin sighs as he stands, and motions for me to come sit down. “Ali-” “You knew? You knew when it was going to happen and you weren’t going to tell me.’’ I say with realization. “I just got you back Ali-bee,” he says softly, sounding so broken. “Uncle Corbin.” I sigh heavily. He didn’t know, how could he? “Alpha Wade is my second chance mate.” Simon’s eye bug out and Corbin

*Wade POV* Grunting and snarling echo around me as I search for Ali. I know she is here. I can smell her, feel her. Unless I imagined it all, but how can I be imagining the strength that is flowing through me or the desire to protect her that is now cemented in my being? I must protect her, at all costs. No matter what. She is everything. I groan slightly, pushing myself into a sitting position. Mangled bodies litter the blood-stained grass as I look around. My stomach churns at the sight and I spin to my hands and knees trying to regain my constitution. A commotion further in front of me draws my attention and I force my eyes to focus on the blurs that I know are people fighting. Two enormous figures stand near a woman who is on her knees, breathing hard. Fear courses through me upon recognition and I try to stand, failing, as I stumble over a body after a few shaky steps. I land with an oomph and look up quickly to see Ali turn her face in my direction. A beautiful misshapen smile

*Ali POV* I come halting to stop when I finally make it to the center of it all. Buildings are ablaze, wolves snarl and tear at each other while others fight in their human form. It looks like a terrible, low-budget apocalypse movie. I slowly start forward trying to figure out where to go and who to help first. I have to admit I'm struggling to figure out who is on who’s side anymore. I scan the crowd hoping to spot a familiar face or wolf. My eyes settle on Alpha Nick who is fighting off two larger men at a time. Deciding that he is definitely the good guy, I rush over to aid him. The larger of the two throws a kick at Alpha Nick’s back while he blocks an attack from the front. I insert myself between his leg and Alpha Nick’s back, catching his leg, and moving my leg out to swipe his other out from under him. He tumbles to the ground with a surprised grunt and I descend down onto him punching him as hard as I can, clobbering his jaw. His eyes roll back and his body goes slack as hi

“When can you break out of here?” Ali asks, standing. “I can go now.” “Hah! When did the healer say you can leave?” she asks clearly not believing me.  “Honestly. He said I was good to go before you came in.” I try to convince her. “Prove it.” She says hiking her chin up like she somehow triumphantly beat me. “Fine!” I toss the blankets aside and swing my legs over. The moment my bare feet hit the cool linoleum floor and a shiver runs up my spine. Suddenly I want to crawl back into bed. I gently lift myself to standing, half expecting my leg to give out, but it doesn’t. I stand tall with victory written all over my face. That is until the doctor walks in and scowls at

“I would be honored to help you in any way you need help, Wade.” Alpha Nick says. “But perhaps we should see what it all entails and if you are the one they are picking before we get ahead of ourselves?” “Agreed. I just wanted you to be aware of the fact that I will be using you as a stipulation for me to accept any position.” I glance over my shoulder at the clock and balk at the time. The committee is going to be here in two hours. I haven’t had a chance to shower and Wade is still standing very proudly in his t-shirt and scrub pants. I clear my throat to get his attention and nod in the direction of the clock.  “Alpha Nick, do you perhaps have a room where we can prepare for the committee meeting?” I ask. He smiles kindly at me and nods.
