The Red Wolf's Mate

Chapter 70-Entering the Brownie Realm

Maureen POV

We have to act now!

We have to organize and prepare asap so we can leave for the brownie realm soon!

Wolves! The brownies are fighting wolves! What the hell!!!

If it's Toby who is in fact behind this unprovoked attack on the brownies I promise I will kill him!  If it is him, what is it that he wants??!! What does he gain by doing this??!! 

I've mind linked Jax, Lucille, Dennis, and Garret. They are currently prepping the warriors who will be traveling with us as well as the warriors who will be staying behind to protect the pack. 

While I'm staring at the parchment paper requesting our assistance I feel Wyatt's comforting arms wrap around my waist while he's standing behind me and resting his chin gently on my right shoulder. 

"Please calm down my lady. I can feel your distress. It's going to be ok. I trust you. I believe in you and our pack," he calmly conveys to me. 

"But you're going with me. I promised you I would not leave you behind and I won't. But, I'm scared. I've never went into battle with my mate, my love by my side before. I don't know what I'll do if you get hurt. I can't lose you," I barely whisper to him, trying not to think about all the horrid scenarios  that could possibly occur. 

"By the way, how are you so calm and not freaking out?" I ask him. 

A small, sly smile graces his handsome face. 

"Brutus. I know he is 'powerful and battle ready' as he continues to remind me. We've discussed  his past, his memories so I know he is but it's nice to hear his reassurances. If it weren't  for him I have no doubt I would be a nervous wreck right now Maureen, truly. But he is keeping me calm and giving me confidence. We will protect you, our pack members, and our allies," he quietly yet boldly whispers into my ear and it soothes me. 

Shelia is beaming with pride!! 

Soon, the initial group who will be traveling through the portal are gathered in our living room. We will enter the brownie realm in groups, waves not all at once. The groups have been assigned and divided up, awaiting departure orders.

Seven of our finest warriors will accompany Dr. Reagan, Wyatt, and myself through the portal first. We are the alphas of this pack and I will not have anyone to go before us, risking harm to themselves to keep the alphas safe when we  are capable to meet the challenge head on! We will not hide but walk out confidently into battle! Dr. Reagan is in our group to treat any injured who may meet us when we arrive into the brownie kingdom. Other medics will follow in future groups to help with the injured too. The blood on Chieftain Maheo's note is worrisome  and hope he is not severely injured or worse, dead!

I mind link Wyatt-'It's time to leave love.'

'Ok, let go. I'm right beside you every step of the way, always my lady.'- I hear him reply. Then, I hear Brutus add, 'Love you mate, always. Be careful ! We both come back safe and together.'

I stare into his mesmerising eyes, smile, and gently nod my head in agreement.   

I face the warriors before me. Yes, even Dr. Reagan is considered a warrior. Everyone in our pack is trained in fighting and self-defence regardless of their career path. 

I mind link the entire pack since they can not all fit inside our living room. 

'Blazing Ridge Pack. Members of our pack are traveling to the brownie realm into battle. Some of our packmates will remain here to defend our home and fellow members. Each and every one of you are important and vital regardless of your assignments. Do your very best. Make yourself and our pack proud. You all are well trained and capable. Be safe!! Wyatt and I want everyone to come back home safely!! Dismissed!'

'Yes Alpha!'

Our group makes our way to the portal access and briefly pause before the entering. 

Wyatt and I are first, followed by four warriors, Dr. Reagan, with the remaining fighters taking up the rear.

***Entering the Brownie Realm***

Wyatt and I cautiously step through the portal with our weapons at the ready. 

I am immediately hit with the overwhelming stench of blood!! My eyes suddenly dart down to the floor and realize I'm standing in a pool of blood, which surrounds a very still, unconscious Chieftain Maheo!!!!

Shit!! No...NO!!

I urgently mind link Dr. Reagan.

'Dr. Reagan, front NOW!! Chieftain Maheo is injured!'

She swiftly appears at my side and crouches down to begin examining him. I know he's alive because I can hear his heartbeat yet it's extremely faint. 

The rest of the warriors instantly fan out into their defensive formation, awaiting further instruction.

'Alpha, I will take care of the chieftain. He is in critical condition, especially due to blood loss. I will treat him immediately to stabilize him. I will probably have to transport him back through the portal for access to medical equipment and medicine. I believe he will pull through.'- Dr. Reagan quickly updates me. 

'Good! That's a relief! Continue and contact me if you need to. Return here as soon as you have him stabilized. You will be needed here. I trust you and be safe!'- I reply.

I return my attention to my warriors. I mind link them.

'You know your orders. The others are following us from the portal. Lets move out!'- I command.

We silently and quickly make our way out of the portal access room, through the chieftain's office, out into the hall,  with our aim to make our way cautiously out the building. When we first left the chieftain's office there were no sounds of a battle. But, the closer we headed downward the louder the sounds of fighting became!!

As we purposely move throughout the corridors out the building we would come across dead wolves here and there. Although they are now in their naked human forms I can still detect they're wolves. Causalities no doubt of Chieftain Maheo fighting to protect his home and making sure no one reached the portal access room!!

We finally arrive to the ground floor and are met with absolute carnage!!
