CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
As I left them there and went up to my room and attended to other important things on ground. Took some hours but was up to date with what I needed to do.
Now it was time to have that talk with Camille. I smirked as I walked down to her room.
Knocking on the door I heard her say hold on as she reached and unlocked the door, revealing her beautiful self.
She was startled at first but regained herself.
“Oh umm sorry for the wait, is there anything you need Alpha?” She asked as she awaited my response.
“Yes , we need to have a talk. There’s something I want to have a talk with you about and–” before I could finish , I was rudely interrupted.
“Aiden, where the hell have you been man. I’m looking for you everywhere” Liam told me through the pack link. I signalled to Camille to give me some minutes as I linked back to my Beta.
“What’s the problem Liam, was in the midst of a discussion and you j–” I couldn’t even finish my words again before I was rudely interrupted.
“The pack is under attack Alpha, the rogues they came back. We are under attack, you are needed” before he went off. What the fuck? Those animals really did come back for more.
I looked at Camille as she waited patiently for me to be done with what I was doing, what a good girl she was.
“Our discussion will have to wait” I pushed her inside the room. ” Stay inside and don’t come out , the pack is under attack” I ordered as she gasps, looking surprised.
“I will come get you when everything is over and we can have that talk. Don’t make me look for you little one.” I shut the door as I ordered her to lock it up, leaving for war.
Our pack has always been and will always be a proud and fierce pack, feared by our enemies and revered by our allies, whatever made these rogues think they could just envade get away with it. We are the guardians of our land, the defenders of our people, and we would stop at nothing to protect what is ours.
Now the rogues have invaded our home, and we are ready for them.
I reached also and saw my warriors and pack fighters ready, I’m sure the children and other people has been kept safe. The witches too who had become part of us and could fight was here to fight.
And then fight began, with us charging out to meet the rogues head on. Our two sides clashed in a frenzy of teeth and claws, with the us using our superior strength and speed to gain the upper hand.
The rogues were no match for us who fought with ferocity and determination. We tore into the enemy, driving them back with every attack.
As the battle raged on, we began to gain the upper hand. We had the advantage of fighting on our home turf, and we knew every inch of the land. We used this to our advantage, launching surprise attacks and ambushes that kept the rogues off balance.
In the end, we emerged victorious. The rogues were defeated and forced to flee, leaving my pack alone.
I stood on the battlefield, surveying the chaos around me. The war was finally won, and we are victorious. Exhausted and battered, I let out a triumphant howl, signaling the end of the long and brutal conflict.
As I turned to make my way back to home, as those Injured were looked after, I was met by one of my warrior” a look of grave concern etched on his face.
“Alpha,” the warrior began, “I have terrible news. Your mother has been hit by an arrow laced with wolvesbane.”
My heart sank at the news. Wolvesbane was a deadly poison to werewolves, and I knew that my mother’s chances of survival were slim.
“How did this happen?” I demanded, my voice laced with anger and fear.
“We’re not sure,” the warrior replied, “but we believe it was the work of a traitor within our own pack. We’re doing everything we can to find out who was responsible, but in the meantime, we need to get your mother to a healer as quickly as possible.”
I nodded, my mind racing as I tried to process the news. I knew that I had to remain strong for the sake of the pack, but the thought of losing my mother was almost too much to bear.
Without another word, I turned and followed the warrior to where my mum was as he led the way determined to do everything in his power to save my mother’s life.
I rushed into my mum’s room where she was kept, my heart racing with worry and concern. She laid on the bed, her face pale and her breath shallow. The arrow had pierced her side, and I could see the poison of the wolvesbane already starting to take effect.
I gently lifted her off the bed and carried her to the living room, trying to keep her as comfortable as possible.
She groaned in pain, her eyes fluttering open and then closed again as she struggled to stay conscious. “I’m here, Mom,” I whispered. “I’m here, and I’m not going to let anything happen to you, your going to be okay”.
Quickly I ordered them to get the healer. The doctor that came, helped in keeping her awake a little bit and the rest but I think a healer will be much faster as the poison is getting to effective.
As I held my mother’s hands, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with guilt. I knew that this was my fault, and i should have been more careful and more vigilant. If I had only been paying more attention, I might have been able to protect my mother from this attack.
But it was too late for regrets now. All that mattered was getting my mum the help she needed.
“She’s hear Alpha” I was informed.
“Let her in”.
