Chapter 509

“I agree, Amelia. Anthony’s right. You’re already weakened without a Gamma and your injured mate in another pack. Dutton and Lucas are increasing their own patrols to assist you. But I was already planning to send my Beta there this weekend. I’ll send him early, along with extra warriors,” Kayce says.

“I’ll send warriors as well. I want some to follow Caleb’s trail, but the rest can monitor Koden’s hideout and help reinforce your borders, Anthony,” I say.

“I’ll send some too,” Ezra says.

“As will I,” Hunter says.

“Thank you. I really appreciate your assistance.” Anthony says, sounding relieved.

“Yeah, we’re pretty cool to be in an alliance with,” Miles says smiling and slapping him on the back.

“I’d recommend daily check-ins to make sure everyone is okay for now. If not, I can send warriors. I don’t have many that I can send, but I’ll send what I can if you need them,” Jake says.

“I don’t have any to send, but I can always come help if you need it.”

Reese says.

“I think Anthony, Dante, and I can handle things here. I would like to

send scouts to Alpha David’s pack to see if it looks like he’s preparing to attack. At least then we’ll have some forewarning,” Miles says.

“Send our warriors since Robin wants his to follow Caleb. My guess is that if Caleb is part of this, he’ll double back when the fighting

begins,” Dutton says.

“So, we’ll meet again tomorrow. Same bat-time? Same bat-channel?” Miles asks, making all of us laugh.

“Yeah, batman, go work your magic,” Dutton says as we all hang up.

I pull my warriors together and have them headed to Calvin’s pack within the hour.

Jocelyn POV

“Do you want me to go as well?” I ask Amelia. She and I have become close since I became her Beta. We are very similar in how we think a pack should be run which is a good thing. I know that she’s being pulled in different directions and it’s taking a toll on her.

“No. I need you here,” she says, rubbing her face. I know the stress is taking its toll on her when I smell the salt of her tears. I check to make sure that her office door is closed before turning my attention to her.

“Talk to me, Amelia.”

“Why me? There are so many other strong women out there. Why has Koden set his sights on me?”

“Well the obvious

make him Alpha too, or whatever the male version of a Luna is.” I say, watching her at least try to smile.

“You don’t think it’s because he sees me as weak?”

I look at my Alpha. I know what it’s like to feel as if you aren’t strong, aren’t capable, aren’t enough. I spent a very long time feeling that way. Sophie did a lot to help me find myself again, but Amelia is the one who has given me a purpose.

“I don’t think anyone sees you as weak, Amelia, because you’re NOT weak. Exhausted, worn-down, over-worked, under-appreciated absolutely, you are all of those things. But never weak.”

Now she gives me a weak smile. “I should have seen what Caleb was up to.”

“You did. You just didn’t realize that it extended past undermining you. I didn’t either. If you’re going to lay blame, you’d better lay some on me, too,” I tell her.

“I

“Did you know that being my Beta meant that you’d have to give me pep talks periodically?” she asks.

“Yeah, actually, it’s in the Beta handbook,” I say and this time I do get a laugh. “One day at a time, Amelia. Both you and your sister have taught me that. Take your own advice. Fight today’s challenges and

“That’s in the Beta handbook too,” I say, reaching out to hug her.

I don’t let go until she starts to pull away. “Ready to go face today’s challenges?” I ask.

She wipes her eyes, drying her tears before squaring her shoulders.

“Let’s do it.”

Jacqueline

“I need to be there, Miles,” I insist.

“Jacqueline, if Caleb’s goal is to attack Alpha Calvin’s pack using Alpha David and his army, he’ll be here. He may be willing to help Caleb to get information about you, but if you’re here, he’s going to turn his focus and his pack’s focus on getting you. I’m not letting that happen,” my mate says sternly.

“Miles, I’m a good fighter …” I begin.
