Chapter 112: Battle Part II
Brooklyn
When the call to battle had gone up, I’d been in Caspian’s arms, in his bed. We had both leaped out
of bed, but he’d grabbed me, told me to be safe and kissed me with much less reserve than he’d
ever kissed me before.
“I love you. I want you to know that, just in case…”
I had put my hand on his mouth.
“Tell me after and then we’ll talk about you marking me,” I had said and watched his eyes widen.
He’d taken precious moments to kiss me again, fiercely and possessively before turning, shifting,
and racing off to battle.
I’d thought about it while Iid in his arms. I know I still have a lot to get over after what Owen did to
me, but he’s dead now, and Cas isn’t anything like Owen. I deserve to be happy and so does
Caspian. We haven’t known each other long, but war makes you realize important things, makes
you realize what is important. And there are two people in this world I can’t live without, my mother
and my mate.
I know Brutus will do everything in his power to keep my mother safe, so I have to hope that giving
Caspian something to live for will keep him alive as well. That’s my hope anyway, as I rush to the
packhouse and begin checking off my roster as the people assigned to my safe room enter.

When my mom rushes up, I hug her tightly, telling her I love her just before Beta Kinsley arrives to
check on the status of my room. We get thest three people in just after Luna Sophie tells us that
the packhouse has been breached.
I look at my mother onest time, hoping that I can convey with my eyes that I love her, and I need
her to be alive when I open these doors again.
After I close the doors, I turn around to make sure that everyone is settled. There is muffled crying
in the room with young mothers cooing at their pups, trying to help them calm. We can hear the
sounds of fighting outside and periodically, we all jerk when we hear the sound of something
banging against our safe room door.
I’m not sure how long it’s been when we hear the sound of something battering against our door.
Some of the people in the room cry out, some begin crying as the sound is repeated over and over.
Someone is breaking into our safe room.
I stand, moving in front of everyone. “Stay calm,” I say, taking a deep breath like Caspian taught me
to do when there’s a trauma. ‘You can’t help someone else if you’re panicked, Brooke,’ he’d said to
me.
Luna Sophie put her faith in me to be the Lead in this room. There will be wolves who need my help
when this war is over. I need to stay alive, and I need to protect those in this room who are with me.
I stare at the door as I pull the gun from where I had tucked it in the back of my pants. I hear the
gasps of the women behind me, but I stay focused on the door as it begins to give, the screeching
sound of ws cutting through steel makes me

want to cover my ears.
I quickly look down, making sure my gun is loaded, and that the safety is off before holding it facing
down in front of me. I spread my legs apart, steadying myself and taking another deep breath.
When I see the ws puncture through the steel, I raise the gun, ignoring the screams from behind
me. All of my attention is on the door and the person or persons who are trying to get inside and kill
these people, my pack, my family.
When the steel rips apart, I wait. I remember a calm falling over me when I shot my father. I knew
what I was doing was the right thing, I was protecting my mother. And now, I’m protecting my pack.
So, when the steel of the door is pulled open and I see the wolf’ s face, I don’t hesitate, I shoot the
gun, the silver bullet hitting him right between his eyes.
The sound ricochets around the room, making my ears ring, making it impossible for me to hear
anything. However, the wolf behind the one I shot shifts, looking down at his friend and then at me. I
don’t need to hear him to know that he just called me a f**g b**h.
“Come at me. I dare you,” I snarl at him.
When he takes a step, I don’t hesitate to fire again.

My entire focus is on Joshua in this fight. I need him out of Margot’s life. I know that if anyone else
gets to him, they’ll kill him and that may very well kill her.
I found her this morning when the howls went up, telling her to stay by my side in the battle. Reyna
isn’t at full strength yet, and we didn’t have a chance to practice in her wolf form, but she’s strong
and surprisingly, she does as I ask and stays by my side.
However, when I see Joshua’s wolf attacking Hunter, I leap, needing to be the one to take him out. I
know Hunter will kill him without a second thought.
When Thorin rips Joshua’s wolf off Shaw, he stands, snarling, his head lowered facing off against
the other Alpha. I watch as the other wolf’s nose twitches, probably smelling Margot’s scent on me.
Good, now he’ll focus on trying to kill me. I may be older than Joshua by a couple of years, but that
just means I have more experience.
From somewhere behind me, I hear the howls of new wolves, Carter’s pack has arrived. I don’t let it
distract me, but I see that Joshua makes a m**l note but doesn’t seem surprised. I’m guessing that
means that we were right, Robin’s and Dutton’s packs will be attacked too. I hope they’re ready.
I leap at Joshua, needing to end this quickly so he doesn’t get killed. I refuse to allow Margot to die.
Thorin grabs him by the scruff of his neck tossing him aside before leaping on him again. He’s fast
and quickly moves out the way before Thorin can sink his teeth into his leg.
Thorin spins around snarling viciously as Joshua leaps at us his teeth snapping at our throat. Thorin
drops to the ground, letting Joshua leap over us, but lifts his head, finally getting hold of the

wolf’s back leg, snapping it in two.
He howls in pain before yanking his leg out of Thorin’s mouth and turning to face us again. One leg
down, three to go. I wasn’t joking when I told Margot that I’d remove his arms and legs and keep
him alive. I’ll put him on a f** IV drip for the rest of his life if that’s what it takes to keep her safe.
Now that he’s wounded, the rest should be easier. However, he surprises me when he pulls the
shift, standing up on one leg and ring down at me.
“You can’t have her. She’s mine,” he snarls at me.
Ishift, standing to face him. “She rejected you because you’re a s**t mate and a s**t Alpha.”
Heughs. “Killing me will only kill her. I never epted her rejection,” he says smugly.
“I have no intention of killing you. I can make sure that you live a long life as a vegetable in my pack
hospital,” I snarl and smile at the shock on his face.
“And you’re so arrogant, that it never urred to you that I would be the one to kill you,” I hear
Margot’s soft say. I’d been so focused on Joshua that I hadn’t seen here up behind him, and
there is so much blood and saliva all around that I couldn’t smell her scent over the fighting.
Her arm is wrapped around Joshua from the back, her ws extending into his throat. He growls in
frustration that she has him in a vulnerable position where he can’t move, or he risks death.

“You’re such a f**g b**h! You are nothing. You couldn’t even give me a pup,” he says.
She chuckles, leaning in to get close to his ear. “Oh Joshua. I never gave you a pup because I
refused to bring a child into a world where you were their father” she says. I see the same shock on
his face that I feel. She kept herself from getting pregnant?
“Goodbye,” she says, but this time, she’s looking at me.
“NO!” I scream and as if in slow motion, I see her ws clench, slicing into Joshua’s throat before
ripping it out. He falls aside as Margot screams, clutching her chest with her b**dy hand. I race
forward, catching her before she hits the ground.
“I’m sorry,” she says to me, and I can feel her life slipping away.
“No. I’m sorry. I told you I refused to lose another mate in this lifetime, and I meant it. This isn’t how I
wanted to mark you. We’ Il figure it out. I promise, we’ll figure it out. I’m sorry,” I say watching her
eyes go wide before I pull her head to the side and sink my teeth into her marking spot.
She screams, but I don’t let go, holding her in the middle of a b**dy battlefield, pumping my venom
into her body, refusing to let her die.
