“What’s happening?” I asked, twiddling my thumbs as I heard the stampede getting louder and louder.

“Alpha, the dungeons have been opened!” Someone opened a mind link and forgot to channel it to only the Alpha so th

e whole pack heard it.

“We’re going into lockdown,” Cahir said. His eyes unfocused for a minute as he mind linked the heads of various brigades. “Let’s go, Sia.” He outstretched his hand to me and I took it with a puzzled expression.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“You’re going to join them in the hideout closest to us. I’m sending you with a couple of warriors so don’t be scared.”

“Oh.” I swallowed. Unlike him, I was already scared, terrified out of my mind.

“You’re crushing my hand,” he muttered and I got back to my senses.

“Sorry,” I muttered with a blush. “I’m just a bit nervous. As if my body wanted to show just how nervous, flames rose on my hand and then flickered out. “This happens when I’m nervous.” I giggled in a high- pitched tone.

“Don’t be nervous.” Cahir kissed my forehead. We were standing in an unassuming location a few meters away from our home. “There will be about thirty people including you and Melanie. Sebastian and his brigade too. You’ll be fine.”

He’d made all the preparations for my safety but what about him? He would be out there fighting with people who could turn against him at any point. A comrade could pull a knife on him without him knowing and I would lose my mate forever.

“I know.” My lips stretched in a smile so as not to worry him. My nervousness shouldn’t affect my mate. I’d prefer for him not to go into battle but if he did go into battle, he should go with as clear a head as possible. “Just don’t go rogue,” I warned. His eyes lit up and his lips pulled up in a smile.

“I’ll try not to.” With that, he swooped in to kiss me, his tongue dipping into my mouth with a swirl that had my toes curling. “I love you, Sihana Asena,” he mumbled against my lips, his forehead pressed against mine and his eyes blazing.

“I love you, too,” I breathed. “When all this is over, I’ll say those words every day.” Avow to make sure he came back to me.

“That’s a promise I’ll hold you to.” He vowed. Then he walked over to an unassuming tree and struck it. The ground rattled as the tree and its root slid away to reveal an underground hideout. “I’ll finish this as quickly as possible and come for you.” He pressed something into my palm and I gulped when I saw a familiar dagger. “You’ll be protected but you can’t be too cautious.” He gave a wry smile. “Don’t come out until I come for you,” he warned.

Tears gathered in my eyes but I nodded anyway, hugging the sheathed blade to my chest, I’d never witnessed a battle before. I’d read about them and sympathized with the people who sent their families off to the battlefield but I hated that I was now one of those people. I’d be in hiding while my mate fought for our lives.

He watched me until I entered the hideout and then the door slid shut.

“Luna” 1 screeched, jumping away as a voice pierced the air in the dark place.

“Oh, sorry, it’s me” Lights came on but the darkness almost swallowed the light. “It’s Melanie, the gamma.” Ha, I breathed a sigh of relief as the woman identified Herself.

“Where is everyone else?” I asked. I could make out the outlines in the darkness of the place, my omega senses too weak to see sharply. The warriors had better sights than us all so I believed that if push came to shove, they would be able to defend us but what would the other twenty of us do?

“If you have a torchlight, please turn it on. I’d like to see everyone,” I said. One by one, people started to turn on their lights and the place was illuminated enough for me to see. I counted seventeen people, including Laura and Melanie, mostly people from the Alpha Castle.

“What is this place?” I asked Melanie as she guided me to a seat.

“It’s one of the hideouts of the pack. We have bunkers and underground homes but these are littered around the pack lands, over twenty of them. They are as old as Alpha Blood pack and are preferred for safety reasons as they are better hidden. Over the years, they’ve been renovated for comfort.”

“Aristo doesn’t know of this place?” Melanie shook her head.

“Although the beta knows of a few of them, only the Alpha knows about all the security hideouts of the pack and the Alpha is certain he never learnt of this one.”

I asked a few more questions and learnt that the place was fully insulated. It was sturdy and they’d stocked it with two weeks worth of food when the first threat to the pack came. The tree above the shelter was artificial and blended well with the other trees so we would not be caught.

I breathed a sigh of relief and rested my head on the iron walls behind me. Then I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer to the goddess to protect my mate and my pack.

“We just have to stay here, right?” I asked Melanie with my eyes closed.

“Yes. The Alpha will handle everything,” she assured me.

I hated that my mate had to shoulder everything himself but I wasn’t stupid. I knew that I couldn’t lend him a hand in this fight as I didn’t know the first thing about battle but he lost his beta, his gamma was busy protecting his Luna and so he had to fight all alone among traitors.

“Be safe, Cahir,” I muttered in the darkness.

The other people were muttering to themselves, the atmosphere thick with tension, a woman sobbing and crying out the names of her mate and two sons who were all warriors. Her teenage son

hugged her as she cried in a hollow, pain–stricken voice.

We were there for two days and with every day that passed, my anxiety peaked. I’d done nothing but eat and sleep for the duration I’d been trapped here, panicked and praying. Even my baby was anxious with me. I’d dreamt only of my mate and the battle that must be going on above us. Down here, we heard nothing and knew nothing of what was happening above the ground. All I knew was that my mate was alive and he hadn’t sustained any serious injury, else, I would feel it.

I was praying for the safety of my mate when light entered the hideout, then we heard voices and all went on alert. My hand tightened against the dagger I always held and my symptoms which had not surfaced

since I entered this place, kicked in. Nausea hit and my temperature skyrocketed along with my heartbeat.

“I can scent her!” Someone shouted. “The Luna is here! It was at those words that the people frozen in here jolted. Almost in an instant, a barricade was formed around me. Half of the warriors jumped to stand before me and the gamma while the others readied themselves.

A battle broke out

In the darkness, I could barely see but I heard the groans, the ripping of flesh, the shouts and scream, the women crying, and then gunshots. My body froze to the point of pain. The gunshot sounded once, then twice, it continued while people scrambled to take cover but I was frozen.

Someone yanked me to my knees and threw something over me. It was a warm corpse. I shuddered, my nausea rising

I prayed fervently, caught in a helpless situation in the dark, pregnant with a child that altered my healing abilities, a child I had to protect. Just then, I felt a familiar warm essence coarse through me and I fought down a cry of relief.

The gunshots stopped and then I could hear the people talking to themselves as they conducted a search for me, Had they killed everyone? How many would I be able to heal? The person who’s been used to cover me did not respond to my healing mana flowing out. I swallowed, knowing the unsavoury had happened. I was a healer – I could not bring people back from the dead.

“Found you.” The corpse above me was wrenched off and a strong hand pulled me to my feet. I swung the dagger at the figure in front of me. He cursed, the voice unfamiliar but I didn’t let it bother me.

“Luna, stay down.” Melanie’s voice sounded close to me. “Their bullets are laced with silver,” she muttered in the chaos.

I would have gotten down if I didn’t suddenly become a fucking gigantic flame of fire.

It was annoying but I was thankful. “Now, we can just make barbecue.” I hugged the two men that tried to grab me. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
