“What have we got?” I ask Laurence as I walk into the office to see Alex busy on the phone.

“Alpha Edward, Alpha Brad and Alpha Henry have all agreed to come here with warriors. The latest

arriving will be Alpha Brad by 8pm tomorrow. Alex is speaking to Alpha Brent, he is going to send

his son and Beta along with his warriors. Alpha Marcus is the next call” Laurence fills us in.

“Great. That’s quick work Beta” I say thankful for his efficiency.

“Did you get much from the rogue?” He asks with concern.

“Nova did” I say. “I was not getting in her way, she is one angry Luna right now” I comment as I

continue to feel the pulsing fury radiating from her side of the bond along with her concern for our

pack.

“I can imagine” he says with a grimace.

“They have approximately 500 rogues that he saw, he also only saw 2 witches” I explain. “It’s also a

good thing we now know they are attacking as he said their camps, plural, are protected by the witches so we wouldn’t find them even if we wanted to.”

“Well Nova got more than I did” Laurence says with admiration.

“Her aura was pretty suffocating and she didn’t even command him, he knew she meant business”

I say. “You warmed him up just right” I say with a smirk as Laurence laughs darkly.

“So what now for him? Do we hang on for more information?” He asks as I walk to my seat.

“He’s dead, Nova killed him” I state before looking up to see him shocked. “Like I said…she is one

angry Luna right now.”

“Fuck boss” he says exhaling, “she’s not like any other Luna I know.”

“You think” I say rolling my eyes.

“I do..and thank fuck for that” he says with a chuckle. “I think I might start calling her my badass Luna.”

Growling loudly he looks at me in shock, “you mentioned ass and Luna..Zeus didn’t like it. But I have to agree she is a badass” I say with a shrug as he bursts into loud laughter.

“You are so protective” he chuckles as I can only nod in agreement at what he said. Hearing a knock on the door I see Kingsley poke his head in before catching my eyes and running to me.

“I’m going back to my pack, I’ll be back by 4pm tomorrow with warriors” he informs me. “Where is

Nova?”

“Showering, she took care of the rogue” I explain. “I’ll link her and tell her you’re leaving so she can

say bye. Give her 15 minutes.”

“Thank you Ajax” he says graciously. “If you need me contact the mobile number I gave you.”

“Will do Kingsley, thank you” I say shaking his hand firmly before he leaves the room waving bye to

Alex and Laurence.

Seeing Alex hang up the phone he turns to me in relief, “Alpha Brent’s son is coming as I’m sure

Laurence mentioned. He has 50 warriors he’s bringing with him, more than expected. I’m going to

call Alpha Marcus now and then try the Moonbeam Pack again. I haven’t had any luck with them

yet.”

“Thanks Alex” I say as I pour everyone a glass of whiskey.

“Nectar of the gods” Alex moans and he swiftly drinks his.

“What are you going to do about Ophelia?” I ask him through the link as I see him turn to me with

raised brows.

“So you can link anyone now” he comments as I smile proudly. “Show off. I’m going to speak to her, she is no fighter but if she wants to she can. With the state she is currently in I believe it’s too risky

so I would like to move her to a more secure location.”

“What about the council buildings” I suggest.

“Can we trust them?” He asks.

“I believe so, we got rid of the traitors and Elder Martin has been helpful. He cares for Nova, it’s

obvious and I’m sure he’s willing to help. I believe it’s the best bet for Ophelia” I say with certainty.

“Then I will suggest it to her” he says with a small smile.

“Laurence I need you to find my brothers, it’s time they join our pack. It’s imperative they have the

pack link for when the time comes, Henry will understand and he knows they are returning there to

take his Alpha position when he’s ready to step down” I tell him.

“I’ll go down to the training grounds now, have a check up with the Gammas also. Theo said he was happy with how the warriors are looking, I’ll check how Florence is getting on with the new

patrols” he says.

“New patrols?” I check.

“I just asked for an increase in them” he explains. “Larger patrol teams and running more

frequently, we also have lookouts stationed all around which are on a 4 hour shift rota.”

“Perfect” I say looking at him with approval.

“Omega Brea?” I link her as she responds quickly.

“Yes Alpha?” She asks.

“Has Amelia spoken to you about food over the coming days?” I ask.

“Yes Alpha, the Luna Mother is here now” she says politely.

“Perfect, can you also ready all guest rooms ready for full occupancy? I will check our spare

housing and see what we have available. Once done they will also need readying” I ask her.

“Yes Alpha” she says.

“Luna Nova will come and see you following the pack meeting later today, if you need help just ask either of us and we will arrange it” I say with relief.

“I appreciate that, thank you Alpha” she chuckles down the link. “I will have some food sent to your

office now.”

“Not heard a better idea all day” I laugh to her expressing my thanks.

Sitting back I go through my mental checklist and am relieved when I note we are progressing efficiently. “I need a run” I hear Zeus growl to me.

“I’m going to inform Theo that you and Ki will join a patrol tonight. We all need it” I say as he grunts in response.

“Soon we will be back to running and sparring” I tell him trying to ease his frustration slightly.

“I’m worried for Ki” he says, “I can feel her and Novas anxiousness and it’s putting me on edge.

Need mate close.”

“I know buddy, she will be back soon” I tell him.

“I’ve told her to hurry” he huffs as I gape at him.

“Zeus!” I reprimand him.

“No, mate needs to be close. Where I can protect her” he says defensively..

“She doesn’t need protecting” I point out.

“I know” he huffs, “but I need to feel like I am protecting her. Or at least there to help.”

“I thought you would be happy we have a mate who doesn’t need to be waited on hand and foot
