Alpha's Fallen Angel

Chapter 56-Roman

I wake up to Amara shaking me, a golden light is shining through the curtains, telling me its probably past five in the afternoon and I slept way too fucking long.

"Aylin just called for us. She said to bring your head warrior, beta, and gamma. She told my dad and Az to come too" Amara says.

I look at her, she's sitting up in bed, one leg held to her chest, the other crossed. Her eyes are red like she's been rubbing at them and the black and blue under them tells me she didn't sleep at all. I can't blame her, I only fell asleep so easily because I was practically a walking zombie. I got a solid two hours in the morning, but after a battle it just wasn't enough.

"Alright, I'll mindlink them to meet us in my office. Did you sleep?" I ask her, sending them all a quick mindlink. She shakes her head

"Too much on my mind" she mutters and I nod my head

"We'll get through this, we have plenty of people on our side. You've come such a long way. I'll hand my soul to Hades himself before I lose you." I tell her, rubbing up and down her leg. She smiles at me and grabs my hand, running her fingers across my knuckles

"I love you" she says

"I love you just as much. Now come on, let's get this over with" I say getting up and pulling on a shirt and track pants. She does the same, taking off the shirt of mine she was wearing and swapping it out for one of her tight black ones with gray sweats. She looks fine as hell when she dresses up, but I love this version of her the most. Messy hair, sweats, and no makeup. She looks up at me and raises a brow

"Can I help you?"

"Not right now because we have somewhere to be" I tease back, she only smirks and rolls her eyes, grabbing my arm and portaling us to my office. Aylin is already there, sitting in one of the chairs in front of my desk.

"You're getting pretty good at not dropping me on my ass every time you do that" I tell Amara, she glares at me for a second before my legs fly out from under me, and my ass hits the floor. Aylin snorts, and Amara just giggles and smiles proudly at me

"That's my girl" I say getting up, laughing. A few seconds later Aston, Max, and Seth walk in. Seth and Aston take the remaining seats in front of my desk while Max crosses his arms and leans against the wall. I go to my chair, pulling Amara down with me.

"I assume you filled your men in on my updates?" Aylin starts. I nod, I had mindlinked them all when Amara was in the shower. "Good. What are your plans? I have my armies on standby should we need them. Wolfsbane and belladonna won't affect them, but that doesn't mean they won't get blown up. We have flamethrowers, which would be the most valuable resource considering we can't manipulate the sun."

"The Fae can manipulate the elements and nature, though" I say, remembering Thayer's promise to aid us.

Max goes to speak, but he's cut off when King Armaros and Azrael appear out of nowhere. Seth, Max, and Aston all jump.

"Fuck." Aston mutters

Amara smiles, getting off my lap and hugging both men.

"Sup, Az?" Seth says, fist bumping Azrael

"Sorry we're late, what did we miss?" Azrael asks fist bumping Seth back and clapping him on the shoulder

"Not much, we only just started" I say, standing "Armaros, Azrael, this is my beta Aston and my Gamma Max" I say gesturing to both of them. Everyone exchanges polite nods, as Amara and I sit back down.

"What were you saying about the Fae?" Aylin cuts in. Man, she is all business, no formality

"They allied with us, for Amara. I almost bloody forgot, we can send out a request for aid. We know the vampires will attack at night, so the Fae might be able to manipulate some type of UV light into the sky" I say
