Ice Princess (Little Alpha Book 2)

Chapter 89

Ezekiel wouldn't let me refuse being present as he spoke to his warriors.  I scowled at the wall, really not liking the fearful, appreciative, and damn near lustful glances thrown my way.  He didn't miss it and threatened each of them with his eyes.  "As you are aware there was a rogue attack right outside our borders."

They all growled in response, not comfortable with it being so close.  "Considering there were no suvivors..."  I smirked.  "We will tighten border security in case of any further threat."

Donovan cleared his throat.  "Were they really all dead when you got there?"

Ezekiel met his gaze fighting his proud smile.  "Yes, the last one was killed just as I arrived."

He paled and glanced at me.  "And you're okay with her being here after?  She's a heartless murderer."

My smile turned sinister and he took some of my hair between his fingers.  "She did wonderfully in my opinion."

Caleb smirked.  "Looks like you enjoyed it, Xena."

I turned my gaze to him.  "Poetry in motion, it was glorious."

He chuckled.  "You showed hell of restraint when you lived here then."

I sighed and went back to staring a hole in the wall.  "Signed a treaty not to kill you all then, treaty in place not to kill you all now.  The odds seem to be in your favor."

Everyone except Ezekiel, William,and him shifted uncomfortably.  An older wolf coughed as he pieced his words together.  "Well you are quite close with our Alpha, so you wouldn't think to..."

I glanced at him through the corner of my eyes.  "So long as you keep your dirty hands off of what's mine, then there should be no problems."

Ezekiel smirked and leaned in my ear.  "Does that include me, My Love?"  I spared him a glance and shrugged, making him sigh.  "So cold, regardless, there is another threat brought to our attention by the were-council."

Once again they shifted uncomfortably, but stayed silent.  "We will go into further detail tomorrow, but I would like to ask if her pack could help us train to prepare."

There were murmurs of agreement before he turned back to me.  "Would you agree?"

I sighed.  "I told you I have to speak with my council, I'll let you know."

He rolled his eyes.  "Like they'll say no."

I shrugged.  "I ask out of respect, no matter if I know the answer of not.  The site of my bloodbath should suffice as an area to congregate, I'm sure."

He nodded.  "When do you think we can start?"

I pursed my lips.  "Depends on if they have finished shipping off those heads and burning the bodies quite honestly."

His eyes widened and William gasped.  "You were serious about that?"

I met his gaze.  "Over 5000 of the were-councils' wolves were slain when they attacked in my absence.  I do not make idle threats, their heads should be delivered by the week's end if they haven't already shipped them."

Everyone paled and the older man spoke again.  "Over 5,000?  How..."

I smiled sweetly.  "Your Alpha found me after I slayed an equal amount of rogues, did you expect my pack not to be able to keep up.  The Goddess' hands are full right now, that's for sure."

He blinked.  "How many casualties?  If you don't mind me asking?"

I pursed my lips.  "None, my pack fought valiantly."
