Blake let go of his hold on James, tossing him out of his room towards the hallway. James fixed his shirt, giving an evil cackle and walked away.
Blake made his way to Selene, she hugged herself. Embarrassed from the confrontation before her eyes.
“Blake I’m sorry, I thought the door had been closed. I don’t know how he got in.”
He pulled her, embracing her around her shoulders. He took a long endearing sigh, kissed her on her head.
“You know, for everyone’s sake, I better not have to ripe his fucking head off. It be a shame to leave one of our allied packs without an alpha.” He smirked as he said it.
“Blake, I’m serious. I don’t want to cause any problems. Maybe it was best I didn’t come.” She said, regrettably.
“If I brought you here is because I wanted you to meet them. Alpha James is new, he’s power hungry. A lot of alpha’s go through this their first year. He just needs to be brought down from his cloud of pride and arrogance. ”
“Are you sure it’s a good idea for me to stay? Ty and Jazzy are almost here. I can always go back home with her.” Selene insisted.
“Look, if things get out of hand here, which I hope they don’t. I will make sure you and Jazzy are kept safe. No one will touch you, not when I’m around. Ok?”
“Blake, I’m not scared of being threatened. I’m used to that… what I don’t want is for this peace treaty between our pack and theirs going wrong because I’m here.”
“Enough Selene. You are not going home. Your place is by my side, Understood?”
She sighted, giving him a small smirk and kissing him on his lips. “Yes alpha!” She teased, making Blake chuckle.
He reassured her he’d try and compose himself. Maintain a level head, and control his temper. But he left the fact he already knew who Chace and James were. Something told him, James had more up his sleeve.
He closed his eyes to avoid Selene knowing he was mind linking his guards.
“The new Blood Moon Pack alpha is here. Something tells me he is bad news. Keep an eye on his people, and follow his every move. We need to stay one step if not two before him.”
“Yes Alpha, we’ll keep an eye out.”

Flashback – Selene’s POV
We made our way to the middle of the desert riding in our convoys.
Caleb drove, while I sat shotgun. Miranda in the back of my seat.
Jazzy knew I hated sitting with James, so she rode with him in the other convoy, along with other of our group members.
Caleb jolted the car to a stop. I looked around, I couldn’t smell anything unfamiliar. Just humans.
Why are we here? There’s no sign of any threat or any dangerous creatures. why are we here?
I got off the convoy, going around to grab my gun and get in position. James came over, showing us the map to the plan Colonel Coelhelm had discussed with him.
“Alright, everyone around. Now, there’s no time to waist.” He sneered at everyone.
I rolled my eyes as I tightened the harness around my upper body to hold my two extra hand guns and flipped the strap to my katana to hold it in place on my back.
As I grasped my katana, James tried to snatch it away to get my attention. He cut his hand, making a hissing noise as it burned him from the slice it made on his palm.
“Fuck… Selene… why the fuck are you carrying that shit unsecured? You’ll get someone fuckin killed.” He yelled.
“First off, that’s the fucking point isn’t it? Second, don’t ever touch my baby. Third, why the fuck are you
getting in my case? I’m not your fucking beta, I’m in charge here too. So back the fuck off.” I yelled back.
He clenched his jaw, his eyes going dark. I was not gonna back down if he wanted a fight. He came up to my face, I could feel his breath on my cheek.
“You’re lucky we’re in a tight schedule… this isn’t over.” He whispered.
I pushed him on his chest. Making him take a step back, he grabbed my arm as I pushed him. He held on tight, gripping me with force, pulling me towards him. One hand gripped my arm, and his other around my waist.
“Watch it Selene…. You’re lucky you’re beautiful, other wise,… I wouldn’t hesitate to take you down.” He sneered in my ear. He stood at my neck for a second. Smirked at me while he pulled away.
“Shit, did I not hide my mark properly? Damn it Selene!!! If he finds out I have a mate, it could be bad news for my mate. whoever he is. The least I want is to get him killed before I even meet him.”
“And you’re lucky Colonel Coelhelm hasn’t asked me to kill you. Other wise I would of already ripped your fucking head off.” She snapped back.
He smiled at her. Turned around without another word and walked away.
The whole group gathered around. James gave instructions. As usual, the group was to run quietly towards their target and wait for further instructions.
Jazzy, Caleb, Miranda, and Selene were the snipers. They’d stay back and wait until told to take down their targets before the others attacked.
James would be attacking upfront with the first battalion group, if needed the snipers would run to join the second group to attack.
“Ok, everyone get ready to go into position.” They broke into their groups, and they all sped off.
They sprinted at first, then shifted to wolf form to get there faster and undetected, since their steps were quieter when they were in wolf form.
Jazzy, Miranda, Caleb, and Selene came up to a set of boulders about ten miles away from their targeted area. They each set up their snipers and got into position, awaiting for further instructions.
They must of been there for a good five minutes before they were contacted by colonel Coelhelm and James.
“Alright James, Selene… the stage is all yours. James, take it from here.” Colonel Coelhelm said.
“Roger that.” James says
“Ok, alpha 1 in position.”
“Alpha 2 in position.”
“Beta 1 in position. ”
“Beta 2 in position. ”
Each one of the leaders gave their status. Awaiting for James to give his command.
