Chapter 124

123 Grace

Luke.

Tired and just pushing, my legs were about to give out when I heard loud voices and

gunshots. The attackers sounded like women, and I dared to look in the direction they were

coming from.

The number was incredible, and she was, shooting at the markless wolves with extreme

vengeance. Another group of wolves with an Alpha in the lead came from another

direction, and they were many. I wondered who side the wolves were on, but seeing that

they were killing Regan's men, I knew they were on our side. Where did Tia get all these

people from? I should be mad, but I was fucking glad that she came.

"Tia and Stacy are here with fighters," Mike linked me, and I could feel the joy he was

experiencing. We got up and began to push back, fighting with a new determination. The

women soon ran out of ammunition and began to shift. They had reduced the number of

enemies drastically. Unlike Neev soldiers, the women had arrived with the right weapons,

silver. Tia shifted partially and continued to fight her way to me. Her eyes trained on me;

she tore through the obstacles between us like a mad woman.

"You aren't dying on me, Luke Moon," She linked me, and I growled with all my might and

charged through the warrior, killing Neev wolves to get to my wife.

Reinforcement came for the Neeve soldiers, but we had the might to withstand them now.

The women were bloody. It was as if they were trying out all their moves on the enemy. It

seemed like they were having fun too. Tia reached me, and it felt like the battle was at a

standstill.

She ran her claws through my fur affectionately, and I howled in reverence. It was a few

seconds, but it meant a lot. She shifted entirely, moved past me, and fought in opposite

directions.

We were all in wolf form now. We grouped ourselves. Tia, Caleb and Kirk fought in the

same group. My father, Stacy, and some soldiers, along with the women fighters, fought in

another group. Mike and I led a group, and the stranger that came with the men led the last

group. His group was a mix of his men and the remaining women fighters. He seemed to

be Tia's friend, and I did not know where Tia got him from, but I knew my wife was

resourceful like that. We continued to fight. I saw Caleb's group practice all they learned in

the Academy. Every soldier in their group was from their set, so the synergy was there, and

they moved better than the rest of us. His mark burned brightly, and the fire wasn't from me

this time. He was fighting as an Alpha. We all wanted to go home alive. I watched Caleb,

Kirk and Tia take their positions as Alpha, Beta and Gamma turning that group into a

deadly force. My father, Stacy, Mike and I searched for Regan while Caleb's group

searched for Bashir.

Although I was wounded, the hope the women brought renewed my strength. I felt nothing

but power in those moments fighting through the crowd of the bastards that had disrupted

the one- on-one challenge. I was the first to see Regan where he was fighting with four

female wolves. His fight with my father had left him significantly injured. I guess those

women had it in for him.

"Leave him for me. My father linked everyone, and I saw the female wolves move away from Regan.

"Let us finish this," My father linked everyone, and we parted the space for him to get Regan. My father

lunged at him and tore out his right fore limb. This meant Regan would not have a right arm when he

shifted back to his human form.

I watched Stacy move towards my father in her human form, naked, holding something in her hands

and smiled.

My father howled, and she clamped something on Regan's other fore limb, forcing the bastard to shift

to his human form. Stacy grinned wickedly at his pain. I saw satisfaction wash over her face. Then two

women brought silver chains and a harness. They were wearing gloves. I realised what my father

wanted to do. They were capturing Regan. He wouldn't get a quick death as my father promised; it

would be slow and painful.

The moment he shifted back, the battle stopped. I looked around and saw Tia, Kirk and Caleb rip

Bashir into bits. Tia took a hind leg, and Kirk took the other hind leg while Caleb ripped his head off in

one swift move. I knew my wife would have a fever after this, but it was worth it. The fight was over,

and what was left of the Neev army was surrounded. They surrendered immediately. We all shifted

back to our human form.

My men moved to arrest them. Judging by the atrocity, it was safe to say Bashir's father did not know of

his betrayal. I would excuse him and not punish him for his son's crimes.

"Alpha," One of my men linked me. " Bashir locked Alpha Ahmed up in a silver cage in the woods. Our

men are freeing him as we speak." he linked, and I was shocked at the length the bastard was willing

to go.

The man that came with Tia walked up to where Regan was in chains and punched him hard across

the face.

"You bloody treacherous bastard. To think I wanted to help you. You deserve everything that is coming

to you." He said, and I frowned. Just then, Tia walked up to me, and I did not need to take another

breath when I pulled her into a bone crushing hug. She wrapped her arms around me, and I heard her

sob. Her body was shaking, meaning she was afraid throughout the fight.

"I am sorry, I couldn't stay at home, Luke. I am so sorry," she pleaded, but she had nothing to be sorry

about.

"I am glad you disobeyed me, Tia. You and Stacy. Thank you so much. I thought I would never see you

again. I thought today would be it, and then you came," I said with tears clouding my vision. I actually

thought I was going to die.

"My darling, Tia, My darling wife. Thank you so much." I said with a cracking voice. I broke the hug and

crashed my lips against hers, drinking her in altogether. If it were possible to combine my body with

hers, I would in those moments. My heart was grateful.

I watch Stacy support my father, both of them naked. We moved towards the strange man that had

punched Regan.

"Alpha Moon," He said, stretching his hands.

"I am Alpha Mark Winslow, The main Alpha of Santa Braee. You might have never heard of me before

because I have an Alpha that fronts for me. Thank you for letting me be a part of this." I said, and I

frowned at him.

"Your Luna called me and convinced me to choose your side. That weasel," he said, pointing at

Regan. We were near where he was chained, so he stepped up and punched him again.

"This weasel attacked my vessel and stole my ammunition because I refused to give it to him.

He lied to me about so many things. Little did I know he wanted to take over something that

wasn't his. He told me he was a Moon and the rightful heir of Woodclaw. He was promised to go

into an alliance with us once he takes out his evil stepbrother. He staged some attacks on Santa

Braee to sway me. He told me that Alpha Aesop attacked Santa Braee because he wanted to

take over the island. I foolishly believed him. I did not know he was lying. He wanted to use me

to get Woodclaw and then come after me later. When your wife called and sent me some

evidence. I dug deeper and discovered he was a pimp from a poor town called Tempaah in

Dome. His goons confessed after being tortured that he was the one that staged the attack

leaving my wife blind in the left eye! I had to take my pound of flesh." the man said and looked at

Tia, " I want you to keep your promise and kill him slowly and very painfully. A quick death will be

merciful. Let him suffer for a long time. He said, and without warning, he plucked out one of

Regan's eyes. Regan screamed with pain. Tia vomited immediately.

"My wife is blind in the left eye, and so are you. I promised her your left eye as a souvenir, you

sick fuck!" he said and punched Regan again. The man was seething with anger, and I could

understand his pain.

"Where is the treacherous Alpha of this place?" He asked, and I told him to be calm.

"My brother's group has killed him. The guy betrayed his father so that he could betray us. While

we spoke, Alpha Ahmed arrived. I figured the cage his son put him in was close by. He shook my

father and me immediately.

"Thank you so much. Thank you so much. That bastard was going to kill me. I swear I did not

know he was planning this," He said with fear, and my father pulled him aside to calm him down.

Shorts were brought for us while oversized long T- shirts were obtained for the women. It must

have been torture for the soldiers to see sexy hot naked women everywhere. I was glad when I

heard none of the brave women died.

"Any woman willing to join the army should sign up. We are looking for fierce women like you in

the ranks," I said, cheering their effort, and the women cheered proudly. It was clear they had fun

fighting. It was time to return to Woodclaw city with Regan. I did not know what my father and

Stacy would do to him, but I knew he was better off dead.

We all decided to stay the night in Neev so we could leave in the morning. The day was eventful,

but I was glad to be alive. I was delighted to be holding my wife.

I did not stay in our suite, nor did my father stay there. We took separate rooms because our

wives were with us. I had it at the back of my mind that I couldn't make love to Tia because we

had to be on alert until we returned to Woodclaw city just in case there was a plan 'C for Regan.

He was a man of surprises, and I did not want us to be caught unawares. I was glad I could hold

Tia through her fever. We stayed in the cold shower until her body temperature calmed down

completely. Unable to control my need for her, I went against my better judgment and buried

myself inside her in the shower. I felt at home, and as the pleasure rushed through me with her

moans in my ear, I was glad we survived. I made love to her under the shower and then carried

her to bed. She was exhausted and slept immediately after her back touched the mattress. I

stayed awake to protect Tia while she slept. Soon her fever returned, making her mutter a lot of

cute nonsense in her sleep. I looked forward to teasing her about it in the morning. For now, she

needed to sleep it off.
