“What about Jocelyn She’s not here.” he says, and he tries to make it seem like he’s concerned about her, but it falls short

“The survivors have their own safe room.” I tell him vaguely “Jocelyn is fine

I notice he doesn’t ask me where I would want HIM in the event of an attack. It just reinforces my gut feeling that he’s going to do something. But Lucas is right, he’ll be more likely to attack while I’m gone.

“Are you sure now’s a good time for you to leave, Alpha Hunter. You haven’t mentioned how long you’ll be gone this time,” Zahn says, much too casually.

“A couple of days, three at the most,” I say, giving him the lie that Lucas suggested. I’ll be gone two days tops. Battles start this afternoon. By tonight, we’ll be down to our top twenty-five. The pack should be won by midday tomorrow, and then we’re coming home. “And Lucas is staying this time, so he’ll be in charge.”

“I see.” Zahn says. “Well, have a good trip, wherever you’re going.”

“I intend to.” I say, carefully keeping my voice neutral. When the drill is over, I pull Lucas, Penny, and Jaime aside.

“Alert the warriors, attack in imminent. We need to warn Jocelyn, but make sure those warriors are in place.”

“I’ll take her watch while you’re gone, Alpha,” Penny says.

“That will be good. If it were me, I’d send most of my warriors to distract the pack and my elite warriors to get my Luna. They’ll be the toughest fighters, Penny.”

“Good, I could use the practice,” she says, and her confidence makes me feel better about leaving.

“Hunter?” Sophie asks, walking up.

I pull her into a hug, now needing to pull her into my side as our son continues to grow bigger. “Let’s

go say goodbye to Jocelyn, see how the drill went on their end, and then we can go, Sophie.”

She looks up, searching my face, then nods. “Okay. I wanted to check on her anyway, since I

“Jocelyn, everyone. we expect Alpha Zahn to attack while Sophie and I are grime. We think sea are the target, Jocelyn.” I say, and her hand flutters to her chest

“That’s why we have extra patrols, well, guards really?” Sandy asks, looking around

“Yes, and Penny will be assigned to you exclusively, Jocelyn. We don’t expect you to fight the pack will defend you, unless you tell me now that you want to leave with Alpha Zahn

“I do not, but I don’t want anyone to suffer…”

“My Beta and Gammas have convinced me that Zahn will attack eventually. He knows I won’t

allow him to take you against your will, so the only way is by force through an attack on our pack. This pack is strong. Jocelyn. You have nothing to worry about.”

She turns and looks at the women around her, their pups clinging to them. “I’m sorry I’ve brought

this on you,” she says.

“Nonsense. You’re just as important as any of our other pack members, and in this pack, we protect our own.” Sandy says, and the others nod.

I crouch down, looking at the pups. “You’ll listen to your parents and the others if they tell you to hide, right? Now is not the time for games. We ran a drill this morning to make sure that everyone would be safe and knows where to go. Does anyone have any questions?”

“What if we’re in the packhouse when we’re attacked, Alpha? Do we come back here?” a young girl asks. It’s a good question since they’ve started bringing the older pups in for dinner with the pack a couple nights a week.

I look up at Sophie and wait for her eyes to refocus. “Beta Kinsley is going to give you assignments for your safe rooms tomorrow before you go to the packhouse. She’ll show you where your safe rooms are and who your room lead is in case the attack comes during dinner. I’m afraid that we’re going to cancel the run this weekend, but we’ll reschedule as soon as Hunter and I return,” Sophie tells them.
