Chapter 275

Chapter 0275

“Not yet. Our scouts haven’t let us know that they’ve seen them coming yet, but based on Eli’s report, it should come at any time.”

I hold her for another moment. “I need you to make sure that the bunker and safe rooms are ready tonight. I will be announcing to the pack that the vampire attack is imminent and that all those pack members that will be going in, need to be prepared at all times from now on.”

“I’ll take care of it, Liam.” She hugs me tighter. “I love you.”

“I love you.”

Angel and I work late into the night, finally falling into bed exhausted. It’s early the next morning when I’m woken by another mind link.

“Alpha! I need you at the border of the Canyon Ridge Pack.”

“On my way. Contact Beta Dustin and have him join me.”

I hop out of bed and begin pulling sweatpants on, knowing I’ll be pulling them off again in a moment to shift. Angel hops out of bed. “What is it?”

“Something is going on at the border, I have to go.

“I’m coming with you.”

“Angel…”

“You and me Liam. We’ve agreed to stay together during this fight. I’m coming.”

I nod, not wanting to waste time arguing.

We head out, both stripping and shifting as soon as we’re outside. We run to the border I smell a scent that I’ve never smelled before. It smells like the air after the first snow of the season and ice, like a glacier. “Fae.” Angel mind links me.

We arrive at the same time that Rik arrives, and I see them. There must be 500 fae warriors standing in formation. They have spears, taller than they are, the color of silvery white. I guess height is something all fae have. I thought it was just Ailduin, but every one of these warriors, and I honestly can’t tell if they are all men or if some are women, are seven feet tall or taller. They look like something out of Lord of the Rings.

I shift and stand in front of Angel. I know nudity is common among shifters, but she’s mine and I don’t want others looking at her. When she’s dressed, she tosses my sweats to me.

“I’m Alpha Liam, this is Alpha Rik. What’s going on?”

The leader steps lorward. “King Ailduin sends his regards and in order to show his commitment to the alliance with the werewolves, he has sent 550 warriors to fight for the Guardians against the vampires.”

I look at Rik, shocked. The look on his face tells me he’s just as surprised as I am.

“Your presence is most welcome. Thank you and even without your assistance, our alliance would be strong.” Rik tells them.

I look at Rik. “Erm, I’m sure we can find places for you to stay…” I begin.

“No need. King Ailduin provided us with what we need. We understand there is a canyon where the battle is planned.”

“Correct.”

“We’ll set up camp there, unless you have any concerns with us being in position when the vampires arrive.”

“None whatsoever.” Riks says, looking at me. I shake my head. I don’t have any concerns either.

“Thank you. We appreciate your support.” Angel steps up, reaching her hand toward the Elf, with her palm facing forward, her fingers pointed to the sky.

The Elf leader extends his hand in the same way, stopping just shy of touching Angel’s. “King Ailduin sends his regards, Guardian.”

She nods before turning back to me. “I need to get back Liam.” She looks between Rik and me. “Are we good here?”

“We’re good.” Both of us say.

Rik and I work with the fae to ensure that they are set up and don’t need anything.

I’m about to head back to my packhouse when the next mind link comes through. “Alpha! They’re coming! There are thousands of them.”
