Andrei POV
This is the most relaxed I had seen her since I found her, though I knew her guard could go up at any time. Deciding not to push my luck, I let her have the bed while I went downstairs and slept on the lounge. Though sleep never came, the paranoia that we would be attacked left me on edge, I won’t lose her. I won’t lose anymore of my pack, we have lost enough. I had just closed my eyes when Zane mind linked me. That feeling of unease settling over me that comes when I know someone or something is treading too close to my borders.
“Have you checked the wild game cameras” Zane asks, his paranoia was nearly as bad as mine since his entire family was killed off including his 4 year old brother.
“No, I will though” I tell him rolling off the lounge. I walk upstairs, popping my head in my bedroom to make sure Sage was still asleep. She was but I noticed she had shifted back to her wolf form, just when I thought she trusted me.
“ She does trust us, she is used to sleeping in that form” Donnie tells me. I nod shutting the door before checking the surveillance room. Pushing the door open I noticed right away Zane was near the mountain border but that wasn’t the only thing that caught my attention it was the camera near the river not far from him. Glowing eyes looking across
the river toward our pack. Multiple glowing eyes.
“7 east of you” I mindlink.
“I knew it, f*cking knew I heard something” He replies, already moving in that direction.
“They stepped over?” He asks.
“No, I would have felt that, they are trailing the edge though explain why I felt off earlier”
“I have back up on the way” he says and I nod before realizing he can’t see me.
“Want me to head out or can you four handle it?”
“Go back to bed Alpha, I will bring one to the cells for you,” Zane says and I sigh. Knowing that I won’t be able to sleep now.
“Hostiles only, no children, you need help ask for it Zane you know I don’t like show offs especially when it comes to my men’s lives” I tell him.
“I know we have it handled, we know the drill. Drop the sensors though, I don’t want to trip your alarms and freak Sage out on you”
“Yep, will do” I tell him, cutting the link. I watch the cameras for a bit before disarming the alarm around the front entrance. I watch a few moments as my men take them out. This was starting to get out of hand as they just kept coming, hopefully this time I will get information from one of them.
Walking out of the room, I shut the door before crossing the hall to my room. Pushing the door open Sierra Sage’s wolf looks up before moving to the edge of the bed. Donnie pushes forward wanting to be near her and I roll my eyes when he starts whining and Sierra does too.
“Soon Sierra” I tell her when she jumps up pushing her paws on my chest. Donnie wanted to mark her but without her say so I wasn’t touching her. Sierra grips my shorts in her mouth trying to pull me on the bed.
“Does Sage know I am here or have you blocked her?” I ask her knowing my wolf will tell me.
“Sage is asleep, but she won’t mind” Donnie tells me and I wonder if I should leave again.
“Don’t shift back” I warn her knowing if she does Sage may freak out even though she had no problem showering with me, being in bed is a little different and might push a boundary she isn’t comfortable with yet. Sighing I climb on my bed and slip under the covers, Sierra curling up beside me and I chuck my arm over her. Her wolf was purring at my closeness and I couldn’t help but smile. At least her wolf liked me, I thought to myself. I don’t know how long I slept for but I was eventually awoken by muffled voices before hearing the sound of flesh on flesh. Sierra lifts her head and I fight back the growl that wanted to escape. Zane was supposed to be quiet. Getting off the bed, I walk to the door hoping Sierra doesn’t shift back and wake Sage to open the door to investigate the noise.
Walking down the stairs I see Zane and one of my warriors trying to drag a rogue down the basement steps. I hear a growl and know the rogue is trying to shift when Zane is suddenly knocked on his back, his head hitting the floor with a thud. I race down the steps to see the rogue shifted into a mud brown wolf, my warrior pinned beneath him. I growl stalking toward him quickly and the wolf’s head snaps up just as my foot connects with his head knocking him down the stairs.
“Thanks” Zane chokes out rubbing his head. I step over my warrior and he ducks up the steps, he knew I would be pissed about the noise. Zane also goes to run.
