'They are in, brother.' Mikhail mind- linked me.
'Okay.' I grinned.
"The enemies have crossed our borders." I announced. "In the next ten minutes, they will be inside our homes." My voice boomed in the courtyard of the Pack House.
"The seventy five enemy wolves coming from the Western and Northern borders will straight up run to the Pack house to kill everyone in it to symbolise that the Rogue Pack has fallen. In fifteen minutes of them crossing our borders, they should reach the periphery of the pack house."
Alpha made a red arc around the pack which covered the west and the south area of the pack house.
"Will we let our pack fall?" I asked.
"No!" Everyone roared unanimously.
"Will we let a single intruder breathe one more second on our lands?" I asked.
"No!" Everyone roared again.
"Good." I lowered my voice. "And that's the energy I want to see in every one when we are on the battle field. It's kill or be killed. And I prefer to kill." A grin started forming on my face, "in fact, I?love?killing. Do you?" I growled out my question.
"Yes!" They all growled back.
"Good. Take your positions. They will be here in ten minutes." I commanded and everyone ran.
I too, went to my position which was on the terrace of the Pack House. Everyone were already lined up on the west and north walls. They were sleeping flat on the floor with their guns in front of them, ready to aim and shoot on my command. This way, everyone was hidden from the view.?
I heard a twig snap before I heard wolves running and I too, laid flat against the terrace and placed my gun in front of me.
"We will only have fifty men to defend the Pack House. For the last phase, that is Phase Four, I want all of those men on the terrace of the pack house. Each man will have a gun and bullets. Once the fast arriving enemies enter the shooting range, you will start shooting." Alpha made arrows depicting the enemies entering the open area around the Pack House. "Kill as many as you can."? And then made crosses in front of it.
I saw wolves, dozens of them emerge from the forest line and all of them were making their way here. Fast.
'Aim.' I commanded through our mind-link and then waited for them all to enter the shooting periphery. I waited till every single wolf was near and was in line of fire. Hardly a fourth were in shooting range when they stopped and I heard a few low, angry growls.
My skin prickled and I knew something was wrong.
And then the grey wolf leading them looked up and his eyes caught mine and then widened.
'Fire!'?I commanded, before he could turn around and started shooting left and right. A fourth of them dead before the war is better than none. Wolves were falling felt and right before all of them turned around and started running away. We killed about twenty wolves and that was enough. Mikhail and Andrei should be here anytime and we can hold our own. But I cannot afford a single wolf running away and hiding in the pack.
'Stop.' I ordered just as they stood outside of the line of fire. My eyes met a grey wolf's again and he growled loudly.
I stood up and gave him a shit eating grin. "We love to treat our guests. Please do come in our homes."
He shifted to his skin and glared at me. "I did not know that firing at your guests is a way to treat them. Throw those guns away and come here fight like real men."
My grin widened. I just loved pissing the fucking out of people. "Real men?" I mocked. "You mean trespassing the borders of a pack with the intention of massacre is called being a real men?"
He only growled loudly.
I laughed. My wolf was craving for blood shed and who am I to deny him that? My eyes caught more wolves shooting out of the forest and my grin widened. I saw Mikhail leading the group. Waiting time is over. It's time to play.
"Once your bullets will get over, you will abandon your posts and attack the reminder of men." Then Alpha made a blue arc between the previous one and the Pack house. "By that time, Mikhail's team, which was spread across the western and southern border will arrive and corner them so no one can escape. We will not let anyone get away."
"I will show you what being a real man is." I growled. "Attack!" I growled and jumped, shifting into my fur in mid air and ran towards them in full speed.
I'm going to fucking kill them all.
They were more than us in numbers but Mikhail was approaching with his team quickly. We will make it work.
We engaged in a full blown battle against a force that was larger than us.
I caught Mikhail's team and they started engaging themselves in a fight with some other wolves. And I saw Andrei in the mix. Did Phase Two not go well?
What the fuck?
I concentrated on fighting my war.
I caught an enemy wolf over powering one of my wolves and I ran towards them bit into his neck before throwing him away. Rick nodded at me gratefully. I nodded back. We both joined the fight again.
I would not say that we were winning. But we weren't loosing either. We were just holding ourselves up. Which was not fucking enough.
I caught the sight of the grey wolf tearing into one of my pack members and I growled loudly at him.
He raised his head and licked his canines when he saw me. We both started running towards each other and pounced. I got a good chunk of his face and ear and he got a chunk of my shoulder. I hissed at him before attacked him again took another swipe at his injured face. His eyeball dropped on the group and I grinned.
I growled in challenge and tilted my head.?Whatcha' gonna do pup?
He growled and ran towards me to attack me and I ran at him again but then a weight on my back sent me crashing down.
I tore the wolf on my back off my back and threw him off but I got tackled my the leader.
'Status?'?Alpha growled.
I kicked him off with my hind legs, making him fly back. 'Not good. Mikhail's men are engaged in a different. I'm guessing Phase Two did not go well." I growled. Fucking Andrei. "We are holding our own but come fast.' I gritted and fought against the two wolves together.
'We're on our way.' He growled.
I first attacked the leader and took advantage of his partial sight and bit into his neck from the side he did not see me coming. I vigorously shook my head, hearing him whine and whimper under my hold before I tore his motherfucking head off his body.
I focused on the other, apparently traumatised wolf and ran to attack him. He was so frozen in shock that he didn't even register me approaching him so I detached his head in a single move. That's when I realised he was hardly sixteen. Fucking Gonzalez. Bringing children into war.
Without wasting more time, I joined the fight again, killing every wolf that I crossed paths with. Unlike usual, I didn't waste time?? I went straight for the kill. I didn't need to dominate them right now, I needed to save my dwindling team members by killing as many enemies as I could. They were all my responsibility and I would never let anybody get hurt if I could do anything about it.
