Chapter 260
“I’ll be sending some of my injured warriors to Dutton’s pack, Amelia, but if you have room, it might be easier for both of you if I split my warriors between your hospitals,” Hunter says.
“Whatever you need, Hunter. And of course, I have our alliance agreement ready to sign as well,” I say, noticing that my warriors are paying attention. They saw me stand up to Calvin and now they’re seeing that I’m signing alliances with two strong Alphas. Alphas that my father was also in alliance with. Hunter was right, this will go a long way to making the pack feel settled. I can already feel it starting. Alaric’s death was huge, but now, the leading part of being an Alpha begins.
“Amelia, if you’re in agreement, I can help get Alaric’s pack members settled while you go shower,” Sophie says. I appreciate my sister so much right now. Well, I appreciate everyone right now, except for Calvin. Everyone else seems to realize that the pack needs assistance, while he’s just waiting to talk to me.

“That would be great, Sophie, thank you. I need to get this armor off and wash away Alaric’s muck. Although you do as well,” I say, realizing that she’s also covered in his blood. “I have some clothes you can change into.”
“That would be great. But you fought, I didn’t. You go shower and change, and when you’re back, I’ll go,” she says.

“And when I’m back, you’ll eat something.” Hunter says, kissing her head and nodding to me before heading to the pack hospital to shower. Sophie takes his hand and looks at me.
“Is my room still available”
“It is.” I tell her.
“Shower there. Hunter. You know which one?” she asks him.
“I do,” he says, smiling down at her and kissing her again. It makes my heart ache seeing how much he loves her, but I push those thoughts
aside.
I turn to Beta Matthew. “We’ll need shorts…”
“I’m on it. What do you want me to do with this?” he asks, gesturing to Alaric’s head.
“Put it on a pike and set it at the borders facing Aiden’s pack. I want everyone to know what happens to Alphas that attack THIS pack.” I growl and the warriors around me cheer.
I look over my pack members, making sure that no one who is too severely injured is still out here, before turning to head inside. I need to get this armor off. I can feel it weighing down my already tired body.
I feel Calvin following behind me, but he doesn’t say anything. However, the moment we’re on the stairs and away from the rest of the pack, he scoops me into his arms.
“Calvin!”

“You’re dead on your feet, Amelia. Even if I couldn’t feel it through our bond, I can see it all over your face. How long has it been since you slept?” he asks me quietly.
“How many days since you left?” I ask and feel him flinch.
“Too many,” he says. “Which room is yours?”
“I kept my old room,” I say, pointing to it.
He walks me into my bedroom, looking around at my space here. I had come in and removed every bit of the little girl I had once been, leaving the space stark and bare.
I don’t know what Calvin thinks of the space, but he stays quiet, walking into the bathroom and setting me on the counter before turning on the shower.
“How badly are you injured?” he asks, not looking at me.
“I’m not sure,” I say honestly.
“You could have gotten our pup killed,” he says, and I feel the flare of anger mixed with fear through the bond.

“This armor was my mother’s. I found it in her closet, tucked away. It was meant to protect a pregnant woman,” I say to him.
“You aren’t a pregnant woman, you’re my mate,” he growls, turning back to look at me.
“I’m also an Alpha now,” I say, pulling the armor off of my shoulders and breathing a sigh of relief as one weight is removed. Unfortunately,

“We need to talk,” he says, his eyes blazing, still with anger, but now desire is flaring there too as he watches me get undressed.
“Yes, I guess we do. We need to figure out if and what kind of future we have together, Calvin. But right now, I need to take care of my pack,” I say, stepping around him and getting in the shower.
I close my eyes and let the hot water slide over my sore body. My daughter, who has acted like the energizer bunny since her father left, is suddenly quiet in my stomach. I reach my hand up to rub her, to make sure that she’s okay, when I feel strong, warm, familiar hands on my stomach.
