And even I had this strange need to protect them more than I ever did before.
The twins start getting grumpy and Neah tells us she is taking them to get some food. Eric and Mallory head off home leaving Dane and I alone.
“There’s more isn’t there?” I ask
“I’m putting precautions in place.”
“In case something happens to you, right?”
He sighs. “There has always been a plan. I had siblings. But if something happens to me and Neah now, the boys are not anywhere near old enough to step up. I need a Black that can hold the position until they come of age. And you are more than capable of running a pack.”
“It’s not going to come to that.”
“Still, precautions.” He mutters.
I nod. If I had known about his precautions beforehand, it wouldn’t have made a difference. I still would have accepted.
“I also need to go through our history with you.” He adds, “Just in case. But first, I want to check on Ryken.”
We head down to the gates. The last place I expected to find Ryken. Dane informs me that the other guard had to leave because his wife went into labour.
Ryken is busy chatting to the second guard, but puts a hand up to acknowledge us heading towards him.
“What’s that?” I could see something further up the road towards the main road. A dark object sprawled across the ground, almost hidden by the shadows of the trees.
I couldn’t smell anything.
“Open the gates.” I yell as I get closer.
Ryken gives me an obscure look but pulls the gate back just enough to let me through.
I tell Dane to stay back. If it was a trap, it was better for just one of us to get caught in it. I move forward until I catch the subtle scent of a Human.
Slowing my steps, I scan the nearby trees, sniffing the air. But there’s nothing other than familiar scents from the pack and the Human.
“Shit.” Red waves peak out under the hood over her head.
“What is it?” Dane calls out.
“Get Brax.” I yell back and roll the person on their back.
Maddie’s eyes are closed. A large gash runs from her temple, over her right eye and down to her chin. She needed stitches and probably antibiotics.
I lift her off the ground, and hurry her back inside the gates. “Don’t just fucking stand there!” I snap at Ryken and the other guard. "Close the gates!" How had they not seen her? How had they not seen whoever was responsible for this?
“Klaus is at the hospital.” Dane tells me. I don’t hesitate and charge across the grounds.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
