“I know you won’t, that’s why you’re my Gammas,” he said and when he shifted. I got on his back, and he howled our exit from the pack. Our warriors had howled with him, and the ones remaining sent up howls of luck and love.

When we got close enough, Hunter stopped, shifting quickly and pulling me into his arms. “Sophie, I know you’ll want to fight, but please, for me, don’t. Let me do this. I need you safe. I need our pup safe. I know it goes against everything inside of you to stand in the back and not fight at the front, but please do this for me,” he pleads, putting his face in my neck and breathing deeply.

I know my mate. I know that he won’t be able to focus on getting Alaric if he’s worried about me. I can’t lose him any more than he can lose me, so I wrap my arms around him and give him the comfort he needs.

“I won’t fight, Hunter. Not unless I have to. I promise.”

He leans down, kissing me hard and fast. “Take care of my mate and pup,” he says.

“You better take care of MY mate,” I growl back.

He nods at Penny and Jaime before turning, shifting, and informing the pack in the mind link to follow him.

Jaime and Penny shift, and I get on Jaime’s back, since he’s the bigger

wolf We run to Amelia’s borders and let the patrols know that we’re

here.

When we get deeper into the pack, we find their warriors ready to go. I slide off of Jaime’s back and walk to my sister. She’s changed so much since taking over as Alpha. It’s almost as if she’s become more serious, her strength and confidence surrounding her. As I walk toward her, the term ‘Warrior Alpha‘ comes to my mind.

Hunter is right, my sister had no idea how strong she was, but she’s learning quickly.

“Soapy,” Amelia says and hugs me as I walk up. That, at least, is still my sister. “Hunter wants you behind the warriors.

“}

“I know and I won’t fight him on that. Where will you be?”

“Up front, with my warriors.” I look at her and unlike most warriors who go into the fight, she’s wearing armor and carrying a sword.

“I found it in mom’s closet,” she says softly.

“It suits you,” I say to her. She smiles and checks the time.

“We need to get into position.”

I nod and Penny and Jaime flank me as we move to the back of the

warriors.

Several warriors nod their heads in greeting. There’s an anxiousness in the air, but also determination. Alaric killed their Alpha and therefore

their Luna. The pack wants blood, and they’re about to get it.

It’s eerily silent as we wait for the signal to go. I see Amelia raise her sword in the air, letting everyone know to be ready and the moment it slices through the air, a whistling sound following its descent, the pack leaps.

More than half of them shift, and we all run hard to get to the border of Alaric’s pack. Just before the frontline of Amelia’s pack breaches the border, the howls of alarm go up and the battle begins.

It takes several moments before the battle gets to us and when it does, it’s light, most of Alaric’s warriors getting attacked by our warriors. Not only that, but they also have to divide their warriors into three areas since Dutton is attacking on one side and Hunter on another.

No one gets close to me, Penny and Jaime make sure of it and while I‘ m jostled around and pulled between the two while they protect me and keep me out of harm’s way, it isn’t until the warriors in front of us stop and stand aside that I know that Alaric has been captured.

When I step forward, I feel Hunter’s relief that I’m safe. I can feel his eyes looking me over for any signs of injury.

What I see first is Amelia, standing in front of Alaric who is on his knees. Her chest is heaving from her own fighting. Hunter and Dutton, both covered in blood and guts, each have one of Alaric’s arms and are holding him down on the ground.

I walk up on Amelia’s left side. We’re both right–handed and that will
