Chapter 25

It has been a week since Rem warned everyone of the upcoming attack that Crow planned. Rem constantly was reporting back to Leah as minor details changed and Alec had already selected the number of people to bring based on Rem's information.

The training schedule changed for the group that was being dispatched so they would have more time to rest and see their families.

Alec and Leah worked hard training with each other for the past week.

"We need to talk about this," Alec said as he held his hands up as targets. Leah continued to swing, "What do you mean?" She asked.

"You're overexerting yourself. You need rest. It's been enough you've used a lot of your magic." Alec said.

Leah laughed, "You're the one to talk. How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Better yet, have much sleep have you gotten in the past three days?"

"That's irrelevant, I can still function. Besides, you know I don't get much sleep anyway."

Leah sighed, "So we're back to this again?"

"Will I not being able to change your mind?" Alec pressed again. He wanted Leah and his family out of the way when it came to fighting or anything having to deal with Crow.

"You want me out of the fight disregarding the fact that I can boil someone's blood in a matter of seconds?" Leah questioned. Someone didn't seem right in this situation. It was making Leah mad that it seemed like Alec was questioning her ability, but in all reality, Alec had insecurities too and was questioning his own ability to save Leah and anyone else he loved. Just like when he felt helpless and couldn't save his sister or children from Crow. Not even his younger sibling from vampires.

"It's not that. You need to conserve your magic. Do you remember what happened the last time you boiled someone's blood?"

"Nope." Leah didn't want to hear it but she knew she was anyway.

"You had a nose bleed for two days straight." Alec lectured.

"It was off and on." Leah rebutted.

"Well, that's not the only thing."

"Then what is it?" Leah asked raising an eyebrow.

"You told me that witches have one weakness and if it enters your bloodstream you're temporarily paralyzed. You're defenseless if that happens." Alec explained.

"You're not sidelining me from this fight," Leah stated.

"Then how do you plan to defend yourself if he knows what cripples you?"

"I won't let him. Besides, it's the same exact scenario with you. With any of us. We all have weaknesses. Silver burns werewolves and can be used against them, everyone knows that." Leah narrowed her eyes at him. "If you think I'll be defenseless against Crow then why don't you try disabling me first." She challenge.

"Silver isn't my weakness, It's you. Also, silver doesn't paralyze wolves." Alec said ignoring Leah's last sentence. He knew she was powerful.

"I can't stand around and do nothing, Alec."

"You won't. But I ask you to stay back and look over the pack while I handle this small attack. Save your strength for the next attack." Alec offered, hoping she'd agree to it because after this Alec was planning to end Crow so there wouldn't be a next time.

Leah thought about it. Rem was keeping them updated through her. The attack wasn't going to be big. Crow only planned on bringing a small number of people, which they all found odd. There could be a possibility of that just being a distraction for an invasion. It would be safer for the pack if Leah stayed back since Alec is taking some of the stronger members, even if that meant Leah missing the opportunity to kill Crow first.
