The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate (Jason and Laila) by Caroline Above Story novel Chapter 314

Laila’s POV

I wasn’t much of a fighter with my weakened wolf, but even she was snarling inside of suy mind, ready to break free, to stand at Jason’s back and defend him.

“You shouldn’t have come here,” said another warrior, the one standing beside the first who had spoken. “The Lycan pack does

not need visitors.”

“Get in your plane, turn it around, and go home,” said the first warrior who had spoken, the one with the shaved head

Jason curled his hand into a fist.

“We were invited,” I called out, hoping to spare us the bloodshed.

Jason was strong, he could and would fight to defend us, but I worried for how long we would survive with these odds. He might stop these warriors, but we were in their territory, behind their borders. How many would we have to fight to be able to return

home?

And in that case, how would we ever find the wolfsbane cure?

I placed my hand on Jason’s shoulder. Because I was above him on the stair, it was an easy reach. Jason had been even more tense than I’d realized, all of his muscles primed for attack or defense. He was nearly coiled like a snake.

At my touch, he relaxed slightly, and I instinctively preened at the power I held.

“We have an invitation with your Alpha,” I said, speaking as sternly as I could. I was proud when my voice didn’t waver, not showing a hint of the fear that inside was clenching at my heart.

Jason would fight valiantly. He might even win. But he could get hurt.

I had to talk down this group of very annoyed werewolves.

“Surely you aren’t intending on keeping us from discussing a profitable business venture with the Alpha?” I said. “One that he has already approved of hearing?”

The warriors glanced at each other, all except for the one with the shaved head, who lifted his gaze from Jason to me, focusing on me for the first time.

Jason’s growl deepened, and under my hand, he tensed once more, whatever headway I had made with my touch vanishing in a

flash.

Nothing would have Jason become angry faster than his family being threatened. And as he had promised Ava, he saw me and her as his family now.

No amount of pretty words was going to put a stop to what was going to happen here. This could only end in a fight.

Or so I thought.

While I braced myself to back up Jason, I was surprised to hear a car coming closer, barreling toward us at high speed. At the last minute, it screeched on the breaks, only barely stopping before hitting two of the warriors.

The warriors didn’t flinch. They didn’t move an inch, except to turn enough to glare openly at the car, and at the man who got out of it.

“Ambassador,” Jason called. “You are late.”

“Many apologies, Alpha. Sometimes the check points back up, but I am here now. And I brought the paperwork.”

“Paperwork?” I asked.

The Ambassador was a heavy–set man with shorn, slicked back hair and bright eyes. He waved around a single sheet of paper like it was some kind of magic wand, as he walked toward the man with the shaved head.

“This will explain everyth

he said, and held out the paper.

The man with the shaved head sneered as he looked at the Ambassador, and at the paper. But the Ambassador only continued to hold it out, smiling vaguely.

After a moment’s standoff, the man with the shaved head finally looked down at the paperwork and snatched it from the Ambassador’s hand.
