Grayson’s POV

1 punched whoever charged me in the face. They dropped..

This was a small little compound they had full of supplies. Watching the group of men guarding it go down put a smile on my face.

Someone else attempted to sneak up on me and I grabbed his torso and launched him over my head then slammed him into the ground.

I went after someone running away grabbing them by their n*eck and then slamming their face into the wall.

It only took us an hour to take them all. Again I had them all tied and grouped together loaded onto a truck and then they were taken to the prison camp.

They always had fear in their faces but they would be treated well. I wanted them to realize how deeply how poorly they’d chosen.

Putting their faith in an Alpha who did not respect them. Going after another Alpha who would treat them fairly.

I wanted them turned against him so that in the end even when he got back what he’d lost it would be soured against

him.

I sent off the medical supplies we had captured with them for their wounded. All the other supplies would be split up amongst our alliance of four packs.

Darren’s hoke was hit pretty hard at the start of this so he got a majority. Any and all valuables would be sold off, that money being sent off to the families of fallen soldiers and victims.

By the morning their compound was cleared out beside the essentials we kept and we had gone through their database. Not much was left but one of their laptops hadn’t been completely scrubbed and we got the location of

another hideout of theirs.

It was smart keeping so many of them around so no matter what I did there was always more. But since the river was now ours. They had no way to get across.

The only issue I had with all of this is we were now out of our territory and the number of supplies and land these wolves had meant someone was turning a blind eye.

“Looks like these southern packs want to play,” Leon squinted at the map.

The wolf I had killed came from a pack in British Columbia. On the border of the US.

They had come a long way to shake the hornet’s nest. The thing is they were on someone else’s land with these compounds. Probably an ally of theirs.

But I think they’d need to re–evaluate their relationship.

“We’re on the land of Ben Namken Aloha of the Fücreet Pride pack, Steven explained as he looked at the registry of wolf packs in this province..

“Let’s pay him a visit then,” I nodded my head..

“Alpha Grayson,”

1 spun and saw Charlie at the entrance of the tent

“Charles.” I walked over to him and clapped him on the back.

Thank you for coming,” I gave him a nod of respect. “Is she alright”

“She’s worried but she does her best not to be. Dad is there now so I thinnat helping,” he fiddled with his pockets.

“Here.” be handed me some papers.

I unfolded them. Sonograms.

The gut punch I got seeing how big our baby was. My wife had been right it was boys and had found out on her own.

She’d finally sent along a photo of her posing with her belly. She looked radiant this wedlb of her stomach and her face

shining with joy.

22 miss you

Finally, there was a letter from her. I quickly walked out of the tent and off to my own sittholdowanmy cot and tearing it open.

Grayson

I miss you every second, but I am thankful for you dealing with this threat. I wish I could fightbesiddeyvunaid protect our people. I wish that this hadn’t happened while we are supposed to be together. I know you’re probabbly beating yourself up at what you’re missing but you shouldn’t. Our boy will know strength, and duty because obthisWe should only hope he has your courage and ability to sacrifice. Then he’ll be a wonderful alpha. I feel liked rumistino; something as if there’s something we still don’t know. I’ve grown dependent on my protectors much to your joy m sure. I don’t go anywhere without them now. My mother is also glued to my side her hand on my stomach wncover she thinks I won’t bite her hand off. I’m so worried for him this bundle we love so much, but every timed worry! I Elan of the bond we share and know the goddess would not forsake us. I want you to focus on coming home safebri Ther alright I’m safe and sound and doing my pet keeping our pup inside me.

I am sure I’ll see you soon your Netta.

My wife, ever honest. She was not having an easy time with me away I’m sure she feared for the baby and menn herself. But no doubt she was still doing all of her duties to the pack and keeping a brace face in front of them..

I cleaned myself off and Leon made a meeting with that Alpha Ben. We set it for that rught I’d have James beside m so I could keep him from being an imbecile and Charte would wait in the woods should we need him.

Three Alphas of two Alphas. This man would understand the mistaker he’d made.

We sat outside the walls of his hold about a mile away. They came out in their trucks, heavily armored, and I smelled. some wolves waiting in the woods.

He got out a smaller man. Well smaller compared to what men we had. I’m sure he was average.

“Alpha Ben,” I bowed my head.

“Alpha Grayson,” he bowed his head.

We stayed away from each other, all lined up and braced for a fight.

“How can I help you, Alpha Grayson?” He leaned his head up a little his chin high.

“I think you know what I want,” I fought the urge to punch his arrogant f**king chin.

“We have never met before so I doubt I know anything about you,” He mused.

James cracked his n*eck nonchalantly beside me and one or two of his men flinched and I saw a flicker in his eyes.

“Well, then I have to report an issue to you. You have other wolves on your land we have disposed of the ones we’ve found. You see I am at war with the Ban Crescent pack. They have appeared to appropriate your land as theirs in order to get closer to us.“. I played along with this innocent act.

Alpha Ben shifted on his feet and crossed his arms. “We let our allies use our land since they need extra protection. Someone burned down some of their woods. We don’t want the same thing happening here,” He squinted his eyes.

“They attacked my allies. I’m sure you can understand the need for retaliation,” I shot back. “I have nothing against your pack. Your people are lumberjacks and dairy farmers. You provide to our country I know this,” I offered kindness.

“So you would not attack us even though our ally is at war with you?” Ben smirked. “I should believe that?” He

chuckled and his men followed suit.

“Well if I wanted to hurt I could do it,” I stated. This was no debate it was a fact. His men southern and more accustomed to civilization were weaker and smaller. My men were rough and rugged. They could break them in

seconds.

“That sounds like a threat,” Ben stepped forward.

They had transitioned wolves out. Charlie phased behind us ready to attack and I saw Alpha Ben step back when he got a whiff of Charlie.

“Do you know who my wife is?” I asked.

The small Alpha gulped. “Annette Maloria. The female alpha from the states,”

“This is her younger brother,” I pointed to James.

His teeth enlarged in a wolf grin. His eyes amber and crazed.

“And I’m sure you’ve caught the scent of her elder brother as well,”

He fidget where he stood and his men all lost blood in their faces.

“You see your ally has threatened my wife, pregnant, with our babe. A dishonorable and disgusting thing to do. Her brothers and her father have come to defend her, I explained.

“I see. I hadn’t been made aware that your bride’s family had come,” he seemed annoyed at the new information.

“And as I’m sure you’re aware. My mother is of Alpha blood as well…” I trailed off.

“Yes. Yes, that I do know,” he sighed. “Stand down,” he shouted.

He calmly walked towards me and I met him in the middle.

“I am only trying to protect my people. I had no choice but to side with them after you burned their woods I cannot suffer that loss. If you agree to not harm us I will remain impartial from here on out,” he explained.

“I am doing the same. I will not harm one of your wolves as long as you stay out of my way,”

“That I can do,” he agreed.

We shook hands. “I’ll call the council of your region once we sign a treaty. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I saw him fidget again and I squeezed his hand. “So if you attempt anything, or less likely I do anything there are

consequences,”

“Understood,” he glared at me.

I knew a fool when I saw one. The pack we faced fought from the shadows I had no doubt their allies would do the

same.

If they double–crossed us after a treaty was sent to their council they’d be reprimanded: losing land, resources, money, or even wolves. He could lose his Alpha status if they so deemed.

He’d behave himself.

We went back to our camp having agreed upon signing the treaty there tomorrow. I lay down and pictured her. Falling asleep to see her face and touch her. If only I didn’t have to wake up.

The next chapter will be up tomorrow, thank you for reading.
