Livianaâs POV
âMy pack is under attackâ the Alpha said and my eyes widened.
Sht.
The Alpha rushed out of the room with his Beta while the other Alphas probably mind linked their own pack of their situation.
âAlphaâ Edmond called me.
âSend out some of our own warriors to their territory and throw in a doctor or two on the field too. Iâll lead them on my own. You, Alex and Dante stay here while we help themâ I said standing up.
Everyoneâs attention turned to me.
âThis meeting will be held some other time. Go back to your lands and stay alert. My men will see you outâ I said and made my way out as Dante followed me.
âIâm coming with youâ he said but I shook my head at him.
âNo. Stay here and protect the packâ I said sternly. Dante growled and I glared at him.
Dante took a deep breath before looking at me apologetically.
âWhy do you need to go there in person?â Dante asked worried.
âThey were baitâ I said and he looked at me confused as we got out of the pack house.
I sighed.
âThe rogues that attacked us. They were bait to get the other Alphas out of their landsâ I told him and his own eyes widened in realization.
I had realized it only earlier when the Alpha announced the situation.
I was quick to catch on to it but I didnât realize how smart the rogues were to think of something like this.
Iâm sure they knew about our last meeting and intentionally launched an attack knowing weâd hold another meeting.
Thatâs smart.
But now Iâm extra pissed.
How dare they.
My warriors gathered in front of the pack house and bowed their heads to me.
âLiviana, I canât let you go alone. Itâs too dangerousâ Dante said as he held my arm to stop me.
I held his hand and looked at him straight in the eyes.
âIâll be fine. I canât let my men go in a foreign land to fight another packâs enemies. I need to be the one to take responsibility of themâ I told him.
Dante stared straight into my eyes and then sighed before pulling me into a hug.
âPlease be carefulâ he whispered to me and I caressed his back.
âIâll be back, uncle. I promiseâ I whispered back and his hug tightened.
âPlease protect our pack while Iâm goneâ I said and he nodded before planting a k**s on the top of my head.
I turned to look at my warriors.
âThe Northern pack is under attack by rogues. As the most capable pack around, I want to send help to them. You may choose to join me or stay. It is your choice and I will not hold it against you. Those who will choose to help will be led by me personallyâ I announced.
âIs there anyone who wish to stay behind?â I asked for the last time.
My warriors stood their ground.
âNo, Alphaâ they said in unison and I smiled proudly.
I held my head high.
âLetâs goâ I said and shifted to my wolf as the warriors followed.
We sprinted out and made our way towards the Northern pack.
It would be a long run.
Maybe an hour even in our wolf form.
Iâm sure that Northern packâs Alpha isnât anywhere near his land yet either.
An hour is a lot of time and it might be too late by then.
But how?
âTake a right, Livianaâ Amaris mind linked me.
âWhat? Thatâs not the direction to the Northern packâ I replied confused.
âI know. But trust me, Livianaâ she replied. I huffed.
Fine.
âWeâre taking a detour. Follow meâ I mind linked my men.
We took a right like Amaris had instructed.
âLiviana, where the hell are you?!â Luan mind linked me.
Oh.
I almost forgot he was still around.
Wow.
Iâm such a good mate.
âIâm sorry. Iâll get back to you after all thisâ I replied to him and completely cut him off.
âYouâre one hell of a mate, Livianaâ Amaris told me but I only huffed.
Itâs better that he doesnât get involved.
Itâs not that I donât trust Luan.
Itâs that I donât want him getting hurt or getting in trouble because of me.
I may not have always got along with Luan since we met and I may not have accepted him to be part of my life at first but Iâd be lying if I said that hasnât changed.
I can deny it all I want but both Amaris and I know the truth.
I donât think Iâll tell him anytime soon how I feel because itâs not the right time or situation to do that considering what has been happening lately.
But I accept him now.
I accept Luan as my mate.
But I will still remain unmarked.
For now.
âLiviana hereâ Amaris reached out to me and I stopped and so did my men.
âThis is a dead end, Amarisâ I told her.
âNo. Focus, Liviana. Lookâ she said and I focused infront of me.
Then I saw it.
I saw a ripple.
I carefully approached it as I touched it with my paw.
Then there was a ripple effect.
A portal?
How is that evenâwow.
I turned to look at everyone and sure enough they seemed as surprised, confused and fascinated by it although we were all in human form.
âPrepare yourselvesâ I mind linked everyone.
âYes, Alphaâ they replied and I stepped into the portal as everyone followed.
As soon as I got out, I smelled the scent of fire, b***d and rogues.
I low growl emitted from my chest as my warriors all got through.
âLetâs cover every side of the land. Kill all rogues on site. Help the wounded. Return aliveâ I commanded.
âYes, Alphaâ my men replied through the link and we separated into groups to different directions.
I rushed to where the screams and smell of b***d was coming from and I reached their pack house.
I tore into the first rogue I saw and pierced my claws into its chest ripping its heart out.
I growled loudly and I saw how the rogues in the vicinity turned to look at me.
My gold eyes glowed brightly as the urge to kill every single rogue intensified.
The rogues howled and the real fight began.
I went from one rogue to another as my men fought alongside me.
I ripped their throat out, bit onto their necks and ripped their heads off of their bodies.
I had never felt so infuriated before.
The rogues made me their main target as about 5 of them circled me while growling and snarling.
They lunged at me together but I jumped up and landed behind one of them.
I bit and drag it by its tail as I through it to a nearby tree earning a yelp and whimper from it.
The other rogues growled angrily at me and tried to attack me once again but I only took them one by one.
I pushed through and helped my warriors on the other side.
My warriors and Northern packâs warriors fought side by side.
I took down about 3 more rogues all by myself.
There was a lot of rogues.
More than I could count.
A loud growl resonated in the area and I turned to look at the owner of it.
I saw a big brown wolf with a big scar by its eye.
It was the biggest among the rogues.
As big as an Alpha.
But not bigger than I am.
It sprinted towards me with its canines out but I dodge it just in time.
Itâs fast.
It growled, snarled and snapped at me.
Then it pounced on me quickly and end up colliding with one another as we rolled on the ground.
I g*****d and growled.
Iâm up for a real challenge now.
