Chapter 55


    55 Sudden Assault


    Luke.


    I had no idea that Tia would take what I said to my father seriously. The attacks were frequent, and we


    were training for war purposes, but I doubted if it woulde to that. So far, the attacks have not needed


    my presence to ward off. I did not think it was fair for my father to use the army the way he wanted.


    Stacy‘s problems were solely hers, and we should not have to lose an arm or leg for her sake. I still


    believed she was lying about Regan Adhit.


    “Luke,” Tia said while wey on the pic mat, naked with the sun setting and her head on my chest. I


    stroke her back gently to let her speak.


    “Tell me what you want to say,” I said, and she sighed and sat up. She was a sight to see. Her messy


    hair, swollen lips and beautiful breasts were doing what they should do to me. I quickly sat up so she


    would not notice what was happening. I wanted to spend the entire day with her, and that was what I did.


    We might not leave the cliff until midnight or whenever we deemed necessary. I hade with enough


    food and drinks, and water tost a day.


    “I know this might sound unnecessary, but I really want to know if this Regan guy exists?” She said, and I


    raised my brows because we were on the same page with that.


    “I think we should go get her folks and question them ourselves. Stacy would not expect it and might not


    have given them a heads up. They should know if their daughter dated someone, got pregnant and gave


    birth. Someone in Dome should know them.” she said, and I was already nning on doing that, but I


    was d she was thinking in that direction.


    I was about to respond when my phone rang, and I honestly did not want to get it, but when I saw it was


    my brother, I answered, just in case it was a family emergency.


    “Luke, where are you?” he asked with a hasty voice. “Somewhere,” I replied, and he sighed. “We need to


    move to Eastwood now. There is a full–blown battle going on there. The residents have been unable to


    withstand the might of the attackers,” he said, and I was on high alert. I got up and wore my shorts.


    “Have you called father?” I asked him.


    “Yes, we are together on our way to Diamond corp to use the chopper for transport. Luke, we need all


    the muscle we can get, but please don‘t let Tiae,” he pleaded with me as if I would even allow it. Tia


    looked confused but wore her dress and picked up her underwear.


    “Call Mike Crawford,” I told my brother.


    “Father already involved him. He is recing Kirk on the squad. Father and I will pick you up at General


    Mills junction in thirty minutes. Can you make it there in time from where you are? ” He asked me.


    “Yes, I am already on my way there,” I replied, and he hung up.


    Tia had loaded everything in the car‘s trunk by the time I hung up. I tossed her the keys.


    “Drive, “I said; she quickly caught the keys in her hand and moved to the driver‘s side. She was calm, but


    I knew she was scared inside.

    Entering the car, she started the engine.


    “What is the matter, Luke? Please, what is happening?” She asked.


    “Eastwood is under attack, and we need to go and fight off the people who are attacking?” I said to her.


    She reversed, turned the car around and began to drive.


    “Take me to General Mills, Tia and go to the Moon mansion from there. You should not be home alone.


    “I won‘t be, The Wils..” She said, and I cut her.


    “I gave them the day off since we would not be home,” I told her. “Please let mee with you,” she


    pleaded. “No, Tia, my father is leading this one,” I said to her.


    “Eastwood is big; Luke, you will need all the trained wolves. I can‘t be at peace knowing you will be


    fighting,” she said, and I had to calm her down.


    “‘Please, Tia, do this for me. I promise I won‘t die. In fact, it would not have been bad if my father had


    deployed troops to Eastwood, knowing it is close to the ind‘s shores. Most of our mineral resources


    come from Eastwood; allowing these intruders to take it will be bad for all of us.” I exined to her, and


    she nodded.


    “The gold and bitumen are from there,” She said, and I was d she knew.


    I ced my hand on herp.” I will be back in no time, Tia. It is three of us, Caleb, my father and me.


    There is no way we can go wrong with three alphas.” I assured her, and she nodded reluctantly. I knew


    she wasn‘t happy, but Caleb was right. She would be a distraction to us if I let here. Tia was an


    excellent fighter. She can hold her ground, but instead of focusing on the fight, Caleb and I will want to


    protect her, which could jeopardise whatever formation or strategy my father was going with. This was for


    the best.


    Tia sped like hell until we got to the general mills‘ roads. We arrived in eighteen minutes. We exited the


    car, stood outside, leaning on the car and waited for Caleb and my father toe. I did not use those


    minutes to talk or argue. I grabbed and kissed Tia hungrily until we had to break the kiss to catch our


    breaths. Resting my forehead against hers.


    “Don‘t worry, Tia, I will be back in no time. It is just a fight. I do not n on dying anytime soon, love. We


    have a life to build together.” I said, and she nodded. I knew she was fighting back the tears.


    “Don‘t be a hero, Luke,e back home,” she said, the most selfish words a soldier can ever say, and I


    smiled and hugged her tightly. It was endearing to be selfish for love. The truth is, if anything happened


    to me, Tia would be hit the most. She was all that mattered right now


    We stood by the car, kissing and breaking to catch our breaths for a bit before I held her and waited. We


    were silent. I rested on the car while holding Tia in my arms. Her head was to my chest, and she


    wrapped her arms around my waist.


    Caleb finally arrived, and I broke the hug. Tia‘s eyes were misty, but she held her tears. She waved at


    Caleb and greeted my father respectfully. She wished us well. Caleb got out of the car


    and went to hug her. There was no time to fight.


    “Make sure you survive ande back home Caleb,” she said, and heughed a bit.


    “10 is not funny, I will not ept goodbyes, and I will not forgive you if you die, I also won‘t be there to


    watch your back, as usual, so be vignt and watch out for your blindside,” she said, and he nodded. For


    a second, they looked like they did when they were friends. It was true when people said matters of the


    heartplicated simple things. This was a typical example


    They broke the hug, and Caleb entered the back seat while I entered the driver‘s side. My father sat


    comfortably on the passenger‘s side.

    “Keep my house and Woodw in order, Tia. Everyone knows you are in charge. Kirk will be there to


    help you.” My father said, and I was surprised he would ce Tia over his mate. 1 guess the whole


    Regan Adhit story had nted a seed of doubt. Tia nodded, wiped away her tears, and got into the car. I


    drove off and watched her go the other way through the rare view mirror


    “I am sorry I hugged your wife, Luke,” Caleb apologised.


    “It‘s okay, Caleb; she is your best friend,” I said, and he sighed with relief.


    “There is a helicopter waiting for us on the helipad in Diamond corp; that is the fastest way to get there.


    The troops were deployed with helicopters, too,” my father said, and that was a brilliant idea. We would


    get there in twenty minutes.


    “Where did you think these assholes came from?” My father asked me, and I sighed.


    “Woodw is a big ind father. The attackers coulde from anywhere; hell, they might be living on


    this ind and decided they wanted to take over Eastwood. The ind might be named after our pack


    father, but we must remember that there are other packs on this ind, and we just rule over them. What


    we need to find out is why Eastwood did not have protection. It is part of our territory and pack.” I said to


    him, knowing it was his fault, and he cleared his throat.


    “My Beta Grey said I should deploy Military there eight months, but I was too slow about it. I did not know


    it woulde to this,” my father confessed, and I stepped on the elerator. I wondered why he had


    been so negligenttely.


    “Who is leading this battle?” Caleb asked a valid question from behind because we were all alphas.


    “Overall, leadership will fall on you, Luke, but we will be taking a three–team assault formation with each


    of us leading a team,” My father replied quickly, and I nodded. “Do you think the news is there?” I asked


    him, and he sighed.


    “Yes, Luke. They have a helicopter covering the thing. They are lucky the attackers do not have missiles,


    but I learned the first assault was with guns. They only shifted when they ran out of bullets and were a bit


    overwhelmed by the resistance,” my father said, and my stomach churned


    “We need to make sure reinforcements aren‘ting for them, or we are doomed,” I pointed out.


    “Grey is on it,” my father said, and we were silent. I took a turn to Diamond Corps, and soon we were


    parked in front of the building. Hurrying out, we rushed in and took the elevator to the roof, where the


    Helicopter would be waiting to take us to Eastwood. That was the only way


    we could get to the ce in no time.


    The Helicopter was on when we got there, and we entered quickly. “May the goddess show us mercy,”


    my father prayed, and the Helicopter took off. I was determined to make sure toe home no matter


    what.
