Alpha - Forever #1 (Complete)

Chapter 28 - Part 2

Cade

We're under attack!

As soon as the thought hit my mind I went into alpha mode. My main concern was to keep my pack and Scar safe.

I heard Blake issue commands to some of the werewolves that had remained on his property. He wanted every werewolf that wasn't ordered to look after the females and children to get to us as soon as they could.

I began to issue orders to Jake through the mind-link as Blake and I rushed out of the study.

Get the off-duty fighters together. I'm on my way.

The on-duty fighters would be fighting the attacking wolves already here. Hopefully, they hadn't breached the gate yet.

Once outside the house, we both shifted.

The gate at the bottom by the compound was untouched but I could hear the snarls and growls of wolves fighting just outside. My fighters were struggling to hold off the incoming attack.

I knew that it was Victor's pack attacking us before the scent of the invading werewolves hit me.

I was out of options. Even with the additional fighters from Blake's pack we didn't have anywhere near enough fighters to defend ourselves.

At the closed gate, I turned to face my fighters.

I was taken aback to see nearly all the females from my pack in human form surrounding the fighters, who had all shifted into wolf form.

We want to fight, requested one of the females via the mind-link.

I didn't want them to but I didn't know if I had a choice. If the fighters couldn't keep the attacking pack out of the compound they would slaughter or enslave them. With the additional numbers of females that could fight we might have a chance to survive the attack.

I looked to Blake.

We have no choice, he thought.

For a moment I thought about Scarlett and her constant fighting with me to allow females to fight alongside their male counterparts. It was finally about to happen and she wouldn't see it.

She was safe in the cell being sedated so that Curtis could put her on a drip. Through my actions I'd left her unable to protect herself but I couldn't think about that now.

I turned back to face my pack.

Only females that can shift will be allowed to fight: if you want to fight, shift into your wolf form, I instructed through the mind-link.

I watched as the females from my pack began to shift. I was astounded at how many shifted into their wolf forms. Only a handful of females remained.

You protect the children, I instructed to them. Someone needed to stay behind to keep the kids safe.

Take the children to the bunker.

It was built into the main house. I looked to one of the females that was to remain with the children. Her name was Sue.

Tell Curtis to move Scarlett into the bunker and take Gary with you.

I had to do everything I could to keep her safe. If she were in the bunker with the kids it would give her added protection, although nothing would keep her safe if we didn't win this fight.

We can't hold them off much longer, Jake informed me desperately through the mind-link.

Open the gates, I instructed to a couple of fighters. Adrenaline began to pump through my veins as I watched the big iron gates swing open.
