The innocent reject novel Chapter 20

Let it begin

"How many??"

"....Alpha nearly 500 in southern territory,600 in southern and around 900 on east border

Border patrol is unable to get situation under control

Few have managed to cross nearly 10 kilometres and are going to reach the ceremony grounds"

Sh** this was bad

"Everyone towards the safehouse!!! Fast!!!!we are under attack!!"

"Jane hurry take everyone to safe ground and make sure that they cross the border through the underground tunnel!!"

She nodded and hugged me again

"Be safe"

She said and started directing everyone

We nearly had 400 warriors against 2000

Winning this was next to impossible

But I was not going down without a try

Dan came running towards me with worry on his face

This was rare because he was a neutral and composed person

Even in our worst fights he kept his calm but today watching him like this showed me how intense this attack was.

"5 pack's have attacked us all at once, they have crossed the borders and our heading our way with only one motive.........your death"

He was scared on saying this as this was evident from the way his voice broke while completing this sentence

I placed my hand on his shoulder

"Dan don't worry I will be fine"

He nodded unsure of my commitment

"Can we get help from any neighbouring packs?"

"They are only the ones who are heading this attack!Those bloody backstabbers!!we helped them when they needed us and in return they are doing this!!"

On hearing this my only light of hope blew off.

Now the only thing I could rely on was my own self and my own strength

"Get ready Dan!Fight like you never fought before!! Let's show them who they are messing with!!"

With this we changed into our wolves and got in attack mode

The ground on which our ceremony took place resembled a bloodbath now

Dead bodies were lying on every step

I managed to kill the wolves which came our way

I got some gashes and cuts but right now I could care less

My pack members safety was my utmost priority

Killing wolves was not a tough task for me,this was what I was trained to do from the day I started fighting

But the only problem right now was their number

Me and my warriors kept killing and their number still kept on increasing

I was searching for those Alphas who had the audacity to attack the Alpha King but they were hiding somewhere like the cowards they are.

I kept on fighting with just one hope

Hope that my pack members reach safety grounds

Hope that Jane was successful in helping them out my territory through the tunnels.

But this hope got shattered when I saw Emma standing near the pack house with blood stains all over her

She was shielding someone with her body by hugging and this someone was none other than Angela

What were they doing here?

They should have reached the safety grounds till now!

Then I saw a wolf come towards them from behind

Before he could attack I placed my wolfsbane laden knife on his chest and he fell on the ground

Emma was trembling with fear and her hands were covering Angela's eyes

"What are you doing here!!why aren't you in the tunnel!!"

"Aaron th..they knew ab..out the tunnel ,only ...few could escape from there"

How could they know about it!

Only few of my trusted people knew about it

Unless the culprit was someone of them

Before I could say something Emma fell on the ground

Her hands left Angela and her breathing became rugged

"Emma !!what happened!!"

"Mommy!!mommy!!"

Angela said crying

I supported Emma's weight and placed her back on a tree bark

Tears were flowing endlessly from her eyes

"D...d............D....aaa...........n"

She managed to say

Dan
