BORDER CONTROL

Chapter 40

MABEL ESTHER

It is all here. The power behind this find is filled with fury and hatred for everything over the past two decades. The heir of an Alpha male and the heir of an Alpha female battle out their past dues. Whether Ryden knew it was a void treaty or he knew his father disobeyed the law, he eventually knew and didn't tell me.

My patrol and trackers have been running around Yukon marking each base on the map that we found. Packs are labeled with circles, bases are marked with a 'x', rivers and rocks, and other landmarks are identified with two lines underneath them, and there are code numbers or words that go along with each one for access. I don't know if these are up to date, but they vary with each treaty like they update after each one.

The most recent was the Yukon raid from a few months ago, Ryden has updated it after the raid... He knew of the method implying he knew all of this existed this whole time. The pinch, the pull, the burn, and the ongoing wall being put up keeps me focused.... It all makes sense now.

"When do the trackers return?" I had called in a favor to the neighboring rogue packs up further South than us. They were hesitant and wanted nothing to do with pack wolves since they'd been doing well for themselves, but I convinced them of a great reward. Free range in the North. The more reward I gave them, the more they were happy to help us. They sent out some older rogues to track by the borders and will contact back when they have every piece of information laid out for me.

"Soon, Alpha." Great, we wait for the contact and settle for going over the raids we have planned already. I am not super ecstatic that we have to raid mutual territory because of humans, but I doubt any of them will notice. "We isolate the pack wolves by insinuating a threat to their nearby base. After we get them to a secluded area, we attack."

Discussing this strategy took about an hour, that was enough time for the South to make contact. It seems that more pack wolves are climbing North, they are spread out far enough that it could take a few days to get through them all. Some are closer to the border than others, however, they are still at the bases and packs marked. This makes me wonder if Ryden even knows that the maps and codes are missing/ He must know that I have them, if he doesn't, I overestimated him by a long shot.

As the hours went by in Yukon, there were three smaller packs taken out. Some have been moving over to the Alaskan side as they were benignly raided, it seems they have figured it out for now. If we keep pushing them out of Yukon, we can take it back. Small rogue families can stay at the safe houses while guards and patrols from larger rogue packs can alternate watch as we make our way down the Territory.

"Alright, the trackers have gone through everything and there is a lean way between the Yukon River and the Alaskan border." I skimmed the files one more time before giving the trackers the right away to push over the border. "There isn't much left in Yukon other than some pack wolves nearing the border, Alpha."

Right now, as I stand on the porch of a safe house with my wolves venturing out, I feel the power slowly sinking back into my blood. The veins that carry the success and lack of strain keep me upright as I take on the weight of thousands of men. The males who once brought terror onto me will soon learn the true terror of a female's rage.

RYDEN LEVI

Mabel doesn't know this, but Lori has been working with us for some time now. I know she has had this suspicion, but it never clicked for her as much as I would have hoped. Her Beta doesn't have a sort of clue either other than the occasional run-in with pack wolves. It was just a shame he left to go back to Nunavut while Mabel stationed herself in Alaska and Yukon.
