Chapter ANA: Rogues
I understand her frustration. Katie is the packs whore. She started with warriors before trying her hand with Ilad. I'm not even sure she likes women.
"So have you spoken to him since." I ask her and smack her hand as she reaches for a cookie while one hangs from her mouth. "First off...owww. Second no! That doofus can apologize to me. Hell I did what any mate would do." She crosses her arms and huffs.
I smile and shake my head. She keeps pouting like a baby, while reaching for another cookie. "Lex I love you but by the Goddess if you eat one more cookie. I'll... I'll. Hmmm I'll let klara bite off your fingers." I point the cake spoon at her. She smirks and quickly shoves another cookie in her mouth.
As I go to chase her when someone starts yelling through the pack link. "Alpha, we're under attack on the northern border." Lexi and I look at each other before she runs to get the kids.
"How many? Is anyone hurt?" My mates voice booms. There's silence before another warrior speaks. "There are about 20 rogues and.....a witch." The last part sounded like he was unsure.
Why were rogues working together, let alone with a with? My mate orders all elderly, women who are untrained and children to the bunker. All able bodies were to secure the pack.
Lexi runs down the stairs with all four kids. "Get to the bunker. I'm going to help your brother." I look at Lexi and her eyes turn honey. Lilly isn't leaving. Lexi turns to an omega and tells her to take the kids to the bunker. The omega nods and they take off running down the hall.
We shift as we jump from the pack house porch. Heading straight for the north border. As we arrive the smell of blood and rot assult my nose. I run to Sinead and take up his flank. "Ana what the hell are you doing here!" Before I can answer, I see a rogue going for his exposed side.
I jump over Sinead and take the rogue down by his neck. He struggles in my jaw but I bite down harder until I hear a snap. I drop his body to the ground and step back. I look around and see their numbers dwindling.
My eyes find the witch and she sneers. Before waving her hand and disappearing. Jara orders two guards to drag the rogues they've caught to the cells. "Is everyone ok." My mate asks. He looks at me and I nod.
The injured are taken to the pack hospital. While everyone else heads to their homes or the pack house.
Ilad,Lex, Jara, Sinead and I head to Sinead's office to debrief. I slid onto his lap as he sits down. He takes deep breaths in my neck to calm down. "Does anyone have an idea to what the ...fuck that was!" Ilad asks as she paces. Lexi stands and wraps her arms around her waist to calm her down.
We all look lost. The entire situation isn't normal. "She seems mad." Everyone looks at me. My mate leans to the side and looks at me curiously. "I made eye contact. She seemed pissed we stopped them." I look down at my hands.
"Well she's obviously the one in charge. The question is why?" Lexi states. After an hour of nothing. Sinead gives Ilad the task of reaching out to our allied coven. We need to know what they think. After agreeing we'd go from there. We all head to bed. A witch anda group of rogues. Against the strongest pack in this side of the country.
