NovelEnglishChapter 0231 Kaia POV A wall, it's the only way I can describe it...a wall designed to create fear amongst my people.
They all look the same, all dressed the same, both the males and females.
Dressed in black.
Shadows...they look like shadows threatening the destruction of the Nightshade Reformed pack. They are neatly compacted amongst each other, with five rows standing together.
Not only do I want to know why they are here...but how the hell did they get here. Get so far to our borders without being detected.
Did they move through Shadow Rock territory... They must have done, only just missing the council guards...or was that the point. They hadn't been missed, they had been granted permission. A venomous roar erupts from Hector, who stands by my side. My eyes scan the row of emotionless faces until I find him.
Alpha Marc, the Alpha of the Shadow Rock pack, or he was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA smirk falls upon his face as my eyes meet his, my mouth tasting sour at the mere thought of having given this monster the benefit of the doubt. For having trusted him over Hector. Hector's hand grips my hip possessively, his fingers crushing at my skin.
How had he managed to find such a number of followers to fight for him, these didn't look anything like the Shadow Rock pack members, these seemed...like something entirely different.
I watch him intently, cursing him internally for what he is about to do. Then his posture changes...he shifts and my eyes dart to the male next to him.
Why hadn't I noticed him first, he was the master here...the rest the puppets. All they were missing were strings.
I can't take my eyes off him, his dark blond hair blows into his eyes as the wind picks up. The breeze sendingthe sea's reassuring scent.
Who was he...
"What do you want?" I roar out, the breeze carrying my voice as clouds start to thicken and darken in the sky above.
Eyes from up above were watching us now.
Marc whispers something at the man's side, the blond male nodding in confirmation.
"Where is Samson?" He shouts back towards me, his words shocking me...they didn't know. Marc had driven off as Samson carriedtowards the car, he didn't wait to see if we got out. "Hector.." I mutter under my breath only for him to understand what I was thinking.
"I know." "He's dead..." Hector shouts out, taking a long stride in front of me. He wasn't blocking me, but he was now ahead of me...prepared to take the brunt of their anger.
For me.
"By your hands?" The male shouts, I could see his hands fisting into balls even from this distance.
"He touched my mate, yes...by my hands." Hector replies, his body holding firm, not showing any regret. His aura was dark, thick...just like the clouds above.
They stare at each other before the blond male turns, his hands animated as he barks out orders. He was preparing to attack.
"Don't shift...whatever happens..don't shift." Hector whispers into my ear as he turns to face me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why not?" I look over his shoulder, looking at the wall of fighters that had the potential to wipe us out for good.
"I think they have cto confirm it is you, they haven't seen you yet for themselves. They don't know for certain it is definitely you..." "Surely Marc will have told them..." My eyes gaze back to the wall of muscle, as does Hector's before he turns back and strokes the side of my face. "He's called the cavalry but he isn't leading them...he isn't as trusted as he thinks he is. He isn't in charge..." "In charge?" "It's the White Moon pack Kaia..." The White Moon pack...
My mind goes to the woman in the woods, the female that was om poisoning herself to not be found by the White Moon pack, to not be found by her mate. The Alpha. The blond male standing at my borders. But he has found us, found me.
So this is the man she was hiding from, this is the pack that she turned her back on. The back that would sacrifice me, to pay for their past sins. To honour the moon goddess. They may be here forbut that isn't going to stopfighting them.
"I can't let my people go to battle and not fight alongside.
can't promisel won't shift if that is wonthony Hector vi what I need to do." His eyes roam upon me, he expectsto submit to him...but I'm the alpha here.
"Fine, but you remain next to me."
