The Elemental Wolves: The Autumn Wolf

Chapter 24 Battle for Delta

Breakfast went past without any other surprises or revelations. Xavier, Heath, Adara and myself were all heading to the warriors training area to address those that would be leaving with us as soon as we were packed and ready to move out against the Red Sea Pack. We must have been a sight to behold by our pack members as we strode out of the dining hall exuding an air of confidence and a taste for the blood or our enemies. Two elementals and my guardian ready to fight for the life of our fellow brother elemental but at what cost? I shook my head promising myself I wouldn't think negative thoughts about this battle for Delta. The walk to the warriors training area was brisk and we arrived to warriors gathered in waiting to hear from their Alpha. They started a war chant as Xavier took my hand and escorted me up with him to the front of the group and jumped up onto a raised platform so he stood above them. He let out a loud howl that silenced the crowd as the chant finished.

"Black Crescent warriors that have been chosen for this fight against Red Sea Pack I salute you, your bravery and skills will be tested this evening when we attack our enemies. An elemental by the name of Delta is being held against his will to the point he can't even shift into his wolf yet. He is our primary target in this attack led not only by me but by your Luna as well," as Xavier paused to glance at me before continuing. "The elementals are the key to our kinds future to end the dark hunters once and for all. Please remember this as we make preparations to depart within the hour for Red Sea," said Xavier with Alpha authority that I have never before seen in my mate. As he finished, I felt my power rushing through me knowing the moon goddess was using me to speak to the warriors gathered. Xavier reached his hand out to me to pull me up onto the platform with him having sensed the change in me through our bond.

"Black Crescent let this attack on Red Sea serve a purpose that anyone who dares to harm an adolescent wolf will be brought to swift justice no matter what. To harm an elemental to the extent that they have done so we will deliver their punishment to them freeing Delta and any other wolves believed to be enslaved they will have a safe home here," I stopped to catch my breath on a roll with my decree eyes glowing green I knew. "If we have to destroy their pack then we have the moon goddesses blessing already to do so!" As I shouted that last part the warriors chanted the war cry all over again. "We will join you in an hour when we depart to take on our enemies, you are dismissed," said Xavier releasing the warriors to prepare for battle.

"That was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be," I said shyly to Xavier you tipped my chin back to look into my eyes.

"That was the sexiest thing I have ever witnessed principessa," he said as his eyes flickered from brown to black and I knew Zeus was close to the surface.

"They respect their Alpha immensely so just as you demonstrated a strong Luna who is a trained warrior," said Heath as he approached with Adara.

"Lily is okay with you coming out to fight with us?" I asked him having a feeling I knew my bestie well.

"She told me to come home to her once we are done and she is busy training new baristas back home now after she had the taste of it here," he smiled as he remembered.

"We will make sure you head back to Silver Moon with a warriors honor attached to your name as well," teased Xavier knowing my brother was marked guardian.

"I have a feeling after tonight he will be blessed with another gift instead," teased Adara and we all let out a laugh. Xavier jumped off the platform before helping me down and holding me close to him.

"Can I get some time with my Luna please," ordered Xavier as he glanced down at me with concern and affection.

"Yes, Alpha," said Adara as she motioned for Heath to follow and he nodded his head in understanding. We watched as they were joined by Lorenzo and they headed to the pack house no doubt to bring trucks around.
