The Gamma's Daughter

Chapter Twenty Nine

Mercy

🦋

After going home and changing into some tights and a tank top, I grabbed my bow and new daggers that Bash got me before running back to where James and the warriors were waiting.

As I was walking up he was speaking to all of them explaining a plan. I looked around while walking up beside Brian ignoring my stubborn Mate entirely.

"We leave in ten. We're going to hit them before they hit us." Brain whispered filling me in with a summery.

I nodded a thanks stiffly before rolling my eyes as my Mate began pushing on my head space. I just walked backwards until I was standing next to him, then shot him a void look matching one of his own.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

His voice was calmer than it was earlier and that's how I knew he was truly mad.

"My job just like you."
"You shouldn't be here." He said now showing his annoyance.
"You knew who I was the moment you met me. Don't forget that."
"I understand that, but you should go home. It will probably be boring anyways." He stated.

I wasn't sure if he thought I'd hop to it and go home just because of what he thought. He was definitely wrong.

"Killing Rouge's is never boring. Besides, my sticks are itching to practice on live targets again."

I cut the link seeing him shake his head before I walked back to Brian. He gave me a firm nod which I returned with a small smile. I don't know why it's so hard for him to see that I can handle myself. Hell, even if its just him being a concerned Mate, he needs to understand one thing. I was a warrior before him and I'll continue being a warrior with him.

I know I'm probably irritating him, but I don't care. I know I deserve the right to make my own decisions. If he is too proud to except that I am the kind of woman who knows what she wants and doesn't need a man to protect her, then he needs to wake up from whatever dream world he is living in. This isn't 1952. I have my own bank account to fill.

I will never be the girl that sits at home wondering if my Mate is safe. I will be the girl on the field standing by her man and her people making sure they all come home so that the people that are at home waiting can see their loved ones again.

One person can make a huge difference to a group going into a fight. My difference is my skill with bows and daggers. That is what I have to offer and I'll be damned if I sit back and let my gift go down the drain to sate a man that didn't raise me. Shit, if my own Father was alive, I would still do what I wanted to do because that is the kind of woman I am. I am a do'er not a stand by and watch people defend me..er..

I leave my head as my Wolf perks up and look to James who is doing another head count. She wants to help her Alpha as he eventually gives up due to how many are here. It got way to confusing. I turned and handed my bow to Bash as he raised his eyebrow towards me. I climbed a tree and counted as quickly as I could being as accurate as possible.

"Eighty give or take. I see why he gave up, they don't know how to hold still."
"Thank you." Brian chuckled before cutting the link and whispering to James.

I would have told him myself, but he was busy splitting people up into groups to go a certain path. He looked to me as I jumped down and retrieved my bow from Bash.

"Mercy, would you like to lead a group? If not you can follow behind Seb or Brian." He stated.

I looked at him surprised before looking to the groups. Wow. To say I actually feel seen right now along with respect makes me happy. Why is it so hard for my own Mate to show me this?
