Chapter 0394
A couple of days after we met the woodland sprites, we got word that Angel had her baby. A beautiful, healthy baby boy that they named after her father and Clint, who had acted like a second father to her.
Eli had me spar with the tournament contestants until he made his final cuts. We ended up with two that had moved from Rik’s pack, two from Liam’s pack and the other 16 were from our pack. Eli had begun preparations for us to be gone for nearly a week. The tournament lasts four days, plus it would take us a day to travel each way and then there was a ceremony at the end announcing the top five packs.
Eli had been in communication with Rik and Liam. Our packs would be on–call to help each other. Rik and Liam were both leaving their Gammas in charge. We had not assigned a Lead Warrior, but Rik was bringing Trevor and Liam was bringing his new Lead Warrior.
The tournament would start on day one with warriors. Day two would be for Lead Warriors and Gammas, day three was for Betas and day four would be for Alphas and Guardians. The tournament would be single elimination each day with the final two battling it out at the end of the day. Every day, the winners are ranked and given points and at the end, the points for each pack are added up and that is how the final ranking for the packs is decided. Additional points can be given for things like continuing a fight after being injured, taking out your opponent with one hit, things like that. We would not have anyone to battle on day two, but being our first entry into this competition, it was not expected that we would score high enough to be in the top five. Eli and I both wanted to be in the top three, knowing Rik and Liam’s packs would be there as well. As a Guardian, I felt like I needed to make a good showing and prove the strength of our pack.
As the time drew closer, I became more anxious about seeing my father. I wasn’t sure how I would react to seeing him again, or how he would react to seeing me. all grown up. I wonder if his new mate knows about me and my mother. Maybe he won’t show up this year. I can hope.
I’m talking with Joel about his new pepper plants when I see two lights streaking across the pack lands headed to the packhouse. “Luna, two sprites just rushed past our patrols.” I get a mind link from the patrol leader.
“I’ve got them.” I tell them and rush to see what’s going on. As I get closer, I hear them yelling for Alexander. It’s the twins.
I run to intercept them and when they see me, the rush to me. “Lady Luna Grace!
Lady Luna Grace!”
“Hunters.”
“In the forest.”
“They got Tula.”
Alexander comes running out of the packhouse. He’s been meeting up with the twins every day.
“Alexander!” They exclaim in unison, rushing to him and burying themselves. into his neck. He reaches up, holding them close to him.
“What is it girls? Tell me what’s wrong.”
“Hunters. They are coming.”
“They got Tula. They grabbed her.”
“And shook her.”
“And pulled off one of her wings.”
“Then threw her in a cage.”
Alexander looks at me. “They may be strange, but they don’t lie Luna. If they say there are hunters in the forest, they are there.”
I lift my head and howl for the pack to prepare for battle before turning to Alexander. “Get them into the bunker.”
I turn, jumping and shifting mid–air. As I start to run toward the forest, I hear Alexander trying to calm the twins, letting them know they will be safe.
I can hear warriors running from all different directions, following my lead as we head to our borders. When we get there, there are ninety–three sprites flitting around our border. I shift, finding Funichio.
