I came out of the shower and head to bed to take a nap
There is a loud bang on my door,
I strode to the door to see who it was.
Immediately I opened the door, Louis sprang in.
Are you okay, I demanded.
He pace to and fro, with a sad face.
What is it, I yelled now feeling agitated.
We lost Seth, he blurted out.
I became weak immediately.
Ho-how, I asked.
They were attacked by rogues on their way back from Twilight Fang.
What about Ryker and Axel, I asked.
Ryker was badly injured, Axel manage to get him to the Pack border, where they were spotted by the guards on patrol, Louis said.
And Seth body, I asked.
I have appointed five guards to go bring it home.
I put on my clothes and we both head straight to the clinic.
This is exactly what I am trying to avoid, but is that possible, I wondered in my thought.
I need to get my act together, and be prepared to overcome any challenges as not losing any of my Men might be impossible.
The doctors were already attending to Ryker.
he is in a severe condition, I hope he survives
Axel was also being attended to.
He only had injury on his arm which needs just a few stitches.
I paced to and fro the clinic hall trying to calm myself.
I couldn’t get the loss of Seth off my mind.
Seth is my one of my close men.
He has one of my most loyal men.
And then I looked to where Ryker is being attended to,
He is just like a little brother to me,
His Father was my Father’s Gamma.
Who alongside Louis’s father the were inseparable.
They had raised the three of us like Brothers.
And now my little brother is at the verge of death.
Was it really worth it, I said.
Louis came closer to me where I was standing, his eyes red and laced with tears.
Was it really worth it, I blurted out.
I think I made a mistake accepting the alliance.
If I won’t be so involved in this battle that I am now losing my Men over an alliance in exchange for a Weak half breed.
Drey growled in my head.
You shouldn’t say that, Louis cautioned.
As we’re are speaking, Kate greeted and strode past us with two cups of herb in her hand.
I hadn’t noticed she was here.
Louis looked at me but I show no remorse.
Did you know she was here, I asked.
Yes I saw her assisting the nurses while we came in, he replied.
Good for her, I said coldly even though one part of me hope she didn’t hear what I had said.
Drey growled once again but I paid no attention.
He kept mute, he knows too well I am in no mood to exchange words with him over our so called Mate.
The doctors attending to Ryker are done, I moved closer to them.
Will he be okay, I demanded.
Yes he will, the head doctor responded.
Once the wolfsbane in his Bloodstream fades off he will start healing, he added.
They had stitch up his wounds as well.
Okay then, I will check back later
I said and head out.
***
It’s evening already I and Louis head to the clinic to check on Ryker and Axel.
Seth body has been brought back
Ryker was sleeping but Axel was sitting up,
Good evening my Alpha, he greeted.
Good evening, I replied.
How are you doing, I asked.
I’m getting better, he responded.
How did it happened, I demanded.
We were ambushed by ten rogues, Axel explained.
We were able to kill six, and when the remaining four see that they couldn’t overpower us, they started throwing the explosives which they had on them our way, to be able to escape.
Seth died trying to save Ryker who had multiple explosives thrown his way.
I was able to throw some back at them before they could set off, he cries as he recounted on the attack.
You have to be strong, I said consoled him.
Were they able to find Seth body, Axel asked
I had to carry Ryker who couldn’t walk by himself, he added.
Yes they were able to, I replied him.
I and Louis then head to the morgue where Seth body was taken.
Prepare his burial immediately and inform his family, I ordered.
Okay Alpha.
The pack members are already gathered in our sacred forest under the moonlight where burial will take place.
I strode past them silently, they were all mourning.
Seth’s wife and two sons were standing beside his body, I moved closer to them and console them and paid my last respect.
Then moved closer to the Men preparing the ground where he will be laid.
Bring his body I ordered.
As Seth body is being placed inside the ground.
Murmurs erupted from behind amidst the silent crowd.
What is that?
What caused that.
I turned back to see what must have caused the murmur.
