Chapter 22- Amara

The silence that grazed the clearing was impenetrable. The pressure was thick in the air. There are

only a total of twenty-seven of us. If we add Cassidy and Grayson, we will be twenty-nine. We will

need someone to watch and guard the kids. So Austin and Cloe will be on it. We might need more

people on guard as the mates and parents of the shifters will have to go with the kids. How are we

supposed to take over that many number of demons? That too without the humans noticing?

"What are your thoughts about it Amara?” Leo asked me. “I can see the gears turning in your head.”

It took me off guard a little.

“First of all, I think we need to contact Greyson and Cassidy. With the witch part down, we need to

contact mom for the information on killing the high level demons.” I don’t know how many more

things that women forgot to tell me. “We need to get the kids, mates and parents out of here and

to safety. I was thinking to send them to Austin and Cloe but the two of them alone can't protect

the lot so we need more reinforcement only if they want to get involved. They do have a child. I can

understand if they don't want anything to do with this. Maybe a few of the shifters can go with

them but that will leave us underhanded more than we already are. The kids shifting is out of

question as the spirit wolves can do more damage than the shifters. No offense but I have to think

logically here.” Leo smiled shaking his head. “So what do you guys think?”

“That sound like a good plan but I was thinking about letting a few of the kids shift. We will lose few

warriors anyways for the protection. Why not go with untrained ones than the trained ones? We will

be short on a few spirit wolves but if we failed in protecting our loved ones, there is no meaning

winning the war.” Leo said thoughtfully.

That does makes sense but losing spirit wolves in this situation does not sound good. I don't trust

Zeno, Fabian and Francis with authority and power. Lucas, Archer and Hudson would want to fight.

That means they will need an Alpha. The only other alpha in my knowing is Ben and I don't want my

kids on the battle field.

What are we going to do?

“I refuse to be Zeno's wolf.” Ajax voiced.

“I don’t want to be Francis's wolf either.” Cedric said.

“Neither do I want to be Fabian’s wolf. Those three are not suitable to lead.” Ivor scoffed.

“We agree with them. We don't want to be led by humans like those.” Victor growled.

Caesar and Finn nodded at that.

Earl, Fallon and Emersyn said nothing but they seemed to agree with them as well.

I didn't see that coming. The alpha, beta and gamma of the spirit pack are objecting to merge with

their human counter parts and their fellow pack wolves are agreeing to them? Even the Alpha, beta

and gamma not related to the said pack are agreeing with them?

This hasn't been seen before. This is not something we thought was possible. I looked at them with

mouth wide open.

“Mom they hurt our sister for no apparent reason. That said sister is also a spirit walker.” Earl said.

Earl, Fallon and Emersyn had started calling me mom since the day they knew that they are

Benjamin, Ethan and Elliot's wolves. So technically they are my son. “We value spirit walkers more

than humans and they hurt the spirit walker as well as our sister. You can't except us to hand them

power do you?”

“No we don't.” Stanley said.

The shifters looked crestfallen. This is not happening right now. What I am more surprised about is

that Ryder hasn't uttered a word yet. I am having a bad feeling about this.

“There is one more thing I want to make clear.” Ajax started. “As he is near coming of age, the

connection between us has gotten stronger. I feel a sort of darkness coming from Zeno. The other

two boys are just trying to keep him company but what they are doing is wrong and as there won't

be an Alpha, the other wolf shifting won't be possible.”

"What do you mean by darkness?” Leo asked.

He looked possibly terrified. I would be too if it was my son in that place.

“It started three years ago in summer. I didn't feel it clearly before but now we know what the

darkness and emptiness means. It is starting to affect me to at some extent this past few months.”

Ajax said. I have a feeling I know what that means. “Our mate died that summer.”

The clearing was filled with gasps of horror. An alpha losing a mate is not a good thing. The entire

pack will suffer because of it.

This is turning more and more complicated every passing second.
