Grayson's POV

Rogues.

Rogues...

The word echoed in my mind.
My gamma Logan was taking care of white moon territory in my absence. But with the rogue attack, he won't be able to handle the situation there. I don't want my Pack members to get panic attacks just because of their alpha found his mate. My presence will give them mental support and hope. I will never let my pack feel down.

Immediately I mind linked Henry and other warriors who were here to get ready for the fight. We all agreed to meet outside the blood moon pack territory.

I looked down at my beautiful mate, she was still waiting for me to kiss her. In her drunken state, she was looking very cute. Only if I had options to choose, I will spend my whole life staring at her. My beloved mate was in my arms. Everything was so perfect but rogues attacked my pack.

I don't have much time but without telling her I can't leave. She might feel rejected if I leave her at this moment. She is luna of white moon pack, she deserves to know. But I don't know what her reaction will be? My alpha responsibility is to keep my pack safe whether she likes it or not. I took a deep breath and spoke, "I need to leave."

My voice broke her state of mind. Her hazel eyes, I want to drown in them. I can see confusion in her face.

I wish I could tell her that my heart wants me to take her with me. But, it won't be a good idea. I want her safe and I will protect her till my last breath.
"Why?" She asked in confusion.

"My pack needs me." I can't lie to her but telling half-truth felt better than her scared face. Inside, I hope she will not ask me the reason.

"You should go and help them." She said in her sweetest drunk voice.

I thought she will get angry or ask me to get lost. But wants me to help my pack without asking any questions. I wasn't expecting this response from her.

"Why are you still here? Go." She spoke again. She was upset a bit but she understood.

She cared even in that situation where she didn't even know anything about me and my pack. She doesn't even know that we're mates.
She is going to be a great Luna.

"I will and you should go and rest too. I will be able to concentrate there only if you are safe."

"Okay," she shook her head and replied to me. It seems like she can understand me already.

I took her out of the party. She looked very happy and tired. I took her straight to my room. While unlocking the door I felt her head on my shoulders.

"Thanks for the wonderful evening." She spoke in a low voice. I can say she will fall asleep very soon.

I open the door and turned lights on. She walked straight to the bed and let her body relax on it. She is already sleeping, I pulled sheets on her. Turned off the lights and was about to leave the room when I heard her say, "I don't want to remember you like a dream. Stay with me."

"I promise when you open your eyes tomorrow, I will be here." I know she didn't hear that because she is already sleeping.

I locked the room and started to run towards my pack members. My wolf suggested to take over and I let him, in wolf form we will be more quick and faster. I mind linked Henry to confirm their positions.

'We are waiting for you, alpha.' Henry responded.

The white moon pack is closest to the Blood moon pack. It didn't take us much time to reach inside pack territory. The environment was silent. I can smell rogues everywhere but there wasn't bloodshed or fighting scene. I can feel some of my pack members were hurt but not seriously.
