Chapter 113


    Sitting here, enjoying the gorgeous day with Den and the three kids, and suddenly,


    Cam is linking me, ‘Luna, we are under attack! They areing from the western


    border, and there are a s*it ton! I’ming to you now, please take cover.”


    ‘No, stay and help your warriors, I have Alpha Den with me. We will take the children


    to safety and then join you.”


    With all due respect Luna, you are not joining in this fight. The Alpha Heir needs you. My


    G*mma argues with me, but I don’t have time.

    “We are under attack!” I inform Den, frightened for the children.


    “What do you mean?” I ask incredulously.


    Enter title…


    “Cam just linked me, they areing in through the western border and there are a lot


    of them. I told him to stay there while you and I get the kids to safety and then we will


    join them.”


    I’m sending out a pack link for everyone to take cover and for those who can fight to join


    in. Each home has a safe room, it’s one of the features that Den had put in when


    rebuilding, and I couldn’t be happier at this moment. As Den and I make our way


    down to the safe room, Demi, Summer and Veronika are close behind. Cici is next to


    “I’ve already alerted my pack; they are on their way too.” Den informs me, and I am


    very grateful. When I go to follow him back up the stairs he stops me, “You need to stay


    put, Quinn.”


    “I will not hide away while my warriors fight! I will fight right beside them!” I re at him


    and try walking around him, but he won’t allow it.


    “Quinn, listen to me, I need you to stay here and take care of our pups. I trust you to


    keep Holden safe for me, they both are the future of our packs and if needed, I know you


    can protect them. Besides, Ash doesn’t need to lose another parent. I promised Gavin


    that I would take care of the both of you, and I’m not going to let him down!”


    All my anger fizzes out the moment he mentions my mate. He’s right of course, I need to


    be smarter, and I need to stay alive for my son’s sake. Now isn’t the time to try and y


    hero when there are so many capable warriors out there. I nod and then take Ash into


    my arms.


    “Thank you, Quinn.” He pulls me in for a hug and I swear I feel his lips on the top of my


    head, but I don’t say anything. He bends down and kisses his son’s head before


    standing back up again, “I will be back. With any luck it will be over soon with minimal


    damage.”


    I watch him go and then follow him so I can lock the trap door behind him. He will


    rece the rug over the trap door before joining in the fight. I move over to the desk in


    the corner and turn on all the monitors. The ones in town turn on first, and luckily, the


    fight hasn’t gotten that far, but as thest few turn on, the ones in the surrounding forest,


    there is a war going on at the west side.


    I haven’t felt a bond break yet, so that’s good. It means that we haven’t lost anybody, so


    all the blood that I see belongs to the enemy at the moment. We are holding strong, and


    I can’t be any prouder of my warriors than I am right now.


    I notice the huge ck wolf enter the fighting and I know right away that it’s Duke. He is


    glorious when he fights, I can watch him. all day long. He is ripping through the enemy


    like they are. yesterday’s trash, and a big ole grin appears on my face. 12


    All of a sudden, though, I feel it; it’s like a knife slicing through my heart as a bond


    breaks. I try watching the screen to see who it might have been, but I can’t see anything


    in the mass of skin and fur covering the woods. Storm River warriorse flooding in on


    all sides, and that’s when the enemy pack starts to retreat. Thank Goddess it never got


    anywhere near the town.


    I’m still saddened over losing a pack member, even though it could have been far worse.


    I continue to watch the screen to see if I can figure out who it is that we lost, but there is


    just too much out there. All I can do is wait until Cam or Spencer update me. A knock on


    the trap door gets my attention and I run over to it but don’t say anything.


    “Quinn, it’s me, Den.”


    I breathe a sigh of relief and unlock the hatch. Den is in a pair of shorts and still dirty


    with mud and blood, but I don’t care, I hug him anyway, so happy that he’s alive and well.


    He pulls away from me, looking down at my now soiled shirt, and chuckles.


    “You could have waited, you know.” He shakes his head.


    “Yeah, and you could have thrown a shirt on beforeing down. here!” I cross my


    arms and raise a brow at him.


    “Had I known that you would throw yourself at me shamelessly, then I would have.”


    “What!? Oh, you…”


    He cuts me off, “Do you want an update or not?”


    I puff out thest of my frustration, “Fine, yes. Do you know who they were?”


    “I do,” he pulls me away from the others first, “Have you heard of the Gray Skies pack?”


    I jerk my head back, “Why did they travel all the way here?”


    “They are looking for the Dire wolf.” He says in a low tone.


    I throw my hands up, ‘When are they going to give it up? There is no Dire wolf!”


    “Quinn, calm down!” The Alpha lectures, “They have been taking down packs all along


    the border and are finallying our way.”


    “Yeah, Gray Skies is the pack that attacked Aspen and Kimber’s old pack.” I inform him.


    It’s his turn to jerk back, “It is? Do they know that the girl’s survived?”


    “I’m not sure, you would have to ask them.” I watch the many emotions that pass over


    Den’s face before his eyesnd on me once again and they soften, “Do you know


    which pack member I lost in the fight?”


    He shakes his head, “I do not, Quinn, I’m sorry.”


    “It’s sad, but like, I keep telling myself, only one life was lost today, so I should be


    grateful, but how can someone be grateful when a life was still lost?”


    “I know what you mean. Luckily, I didn’t lose any members today.” He states and I sigh


    with relief because that would have really


    made me feel bad.


    “Looks like our packs are a force to be reckoned with. Maybe they won’te back for


    us.” I say this out loud, but I know it’s not true. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that the strong


    packs get targeted the most.


    ‘Da da, da da!” Holden calls out for his father, interrupting our conversation.


    I quickly grab a shirt off the shelf and toss it to him before he picks up his son. He smirks


    at me, and I flip him off, making him throw his head back andugh. I watch the


    interaction between father and son, and it warms my heart. Just thinking how Den put


    his life on the line because of a f*cking legendary Dire wolf, p*sses me off. If theye


    at us again and more of my pack die needlessly, I’ m going to bring a s*it storm down on


    them.
