“If that were the case, then my pack would support Kayce, as I’m sure that Dutton’s would support Carter’s,” Robin says, and Dutton nods. “Your pack is the most at risk. Hunter. You have separation on both sides, gaps between your pack and Kayce’s on one side and yours and Carter’s on the other.”

“Yes. I still think you’re the most at risk,” Carter says.

“Well, me and Ezra right now. He’s got a small contingent of warriors in Owen’s old pack. If they attack there, it would be easy to overpower them and could weaken his pack. His Beta is strong, but not strong enough to go against a full contingent of warriors,” I say.

“And while he’s in your pack, it’s not his Beta that’s leading Owen’s old pack, right? It’s his Gamma?” Robin asks.

I look at him. “Does Nikki have friends in that pack as well?” I ask.

He smiles. “My mate is a wealth of information. Your mate is the legend, my mate is the information hotline.”

“So, what do we want to do here?” Dutton asks, looking around.

“We could ambush the scouts, kill them off, delay the attacks,” Kayce

says.

“They may already have what they need,” Carter says. “By their scents and the scent trails, I’d say they’ve been scouting for at least a week, probably since the last Committee meeting.”

“Joshua definitely has. Margot rejected him as soon as she got to our pack

lands. I’m guessing he sent warriors out right away to find her while he took over Elias‘ pack, but if she’s any indication, he’s close to being back to full strength, and he has the warriors from two packs now,” I tell them.

“Carter’s right then, Hunter Your pack is most at risk. Joshua isn’t going to loan out his warriors to others until he has Margot back. I know if it were one of my mates. I’d do the same, but for much different reasons. He wants to possess and probably punish her for rejecting him,” Dutton says.

“We need to be careful. I don’t want any of you losing warriors because you helped me and your packs were attacked at the same time,” I say.

“Then let’s come up with a plan. If Kayce and Carter send warriors to your packs. Dutton and I will send warriors to theirs, to help support their packs while they’re helping you. Our packs are close enough that they’d be stupid to try and hit both our packs at the same time, but if they did, we’d either corral them in the middle of our packs and surround them, or we’d divide their pack warriors, weakening them as we stood back–to–back and fought them off,” Robin says.

“That would definitely work,” Dutton says as we hear two more pairs of paws, heading our way.

I lift my nose in the air as Kayce and Dutton howl a challenge.

“It’s Ezra and Margot,” I say as Ezra’s wolf, Thorin, howls a response.

When they run up, Ezra shifts quickly. When he sees that Margot is also going to shift, he pulls a bag around his body, throwing her a shirt.

“I don’t know what you’ve all been planning, but I think Joshua and whoever he’s working with are planning to take out my warriors in Owen‘ s pack and use it as their home base while they attack your packs,” he with no preamble.

“Why do you say that?” Robin asks him.

He points to the ground that is heavily scented with scout trails. “Because this scent is nothing compared to the ones we found surrounding Owen’s old pack just now. ”

When Hunter left, I felt the shift in the pack. They feel safe with Hunter here. They know that they are protected. With him gone and war pending, it makes them nervous.

Kinsley and I spent the better part of the afternoon checking with pack members. We still worked on the safe rooms, but we needed to make sure the pack was calm and relaxed. Nervous wolves do spontaneous things, like start fights.

Lucas was great as I knew he would be. He was out with the patrols, making sure they saw his face, that they knew that he was in charge and was confident in that role. He’s truly an incredible Beta.

I put my own fear and worry aside and focus on the pack. The day goes by very quickly, but after dinner, when I go to our room alone, time begins to slow to a snail’s pace. I look at the clock every five minutes, unable to sleep, worrying about my mate.
