***”You are so much more than that, Little One. Do not leave your Alphas and Gamma. That is an order that you no doubt can ignore, but an order nonetheless.”*** ***”Yeah, Smalls, don’t go anywhere without us.”***
***”F*cker.”*** I should have paid attention to who he opened up the link to. Now they won’t let me out of their sight.
***”We won’t stop you from trying to save innocent lives, Bitty. But you aren’t risking your life to do it.”***
***”Yeah, Little Bit, what would these loser do without you? No Kamikazi sh*t today!”***
I go to flip him off and instead shoot a small fireball right in his ass! I laughed as he yelped. ***”Fireballs, check, I just need to go around flipping everyone off.*** That got a round of laughs from everyone as they brought me more rogues.
***”I’m going to step out of the circle, I need to know if it maintains or spreads or does anything else weird while I’m not in it. Oliver, can you stay close and be my eyes?”***
***”On it, Bitty. Cam and I can cover this side. Kota can follow you to Nickolas. I’ll let you know if anything changes with distance. Do. Not. Leave. His. Side.”*** ***”Umm. Yes, sir.”*** I rolled my eyes.
***”If you’re gonna call him ‘sir’ can I be ‘daddy?””***
***”NO!”*** Cam, Oliver and I all say to Dakota.
***”You’re an idiot.”*** I laugh as I shift and take off leaving him to try and catch up.
There seem to be pockets of fights going on, but it doesn’t look like anyone has gotten past our line. I just don’t know if they are trying to get past our line. They might be after me, they might be after our warriors, they could even be after the twins. Their birthday is tomorrow and they will get progressively weaker for about five hours before the time of their birth. They will be the weakest at the exact time of their birth and then take on their full abilities right after. We should be focusing on protecting them. Typically the next alpha doesn’t take the position at the same time they turn eighteen, but it occasionally happens like in our situation and the results are not the greatest from what I have been told. As they transition to adulthood and take on the full powers of an Alpha their bodies basically reboot and they can’t defend themselves. It’s why we have Alpha ceremonies so the whole pack is prepared to defend the new Alpha from attack.
Alpha Reggie has been talking with them regularly over the mindlink, trying to prepare them along with Nickolas, Kyle and Brett and I guess my dad. Although, my dad keeps his distance since the twins aren’t usually too far from me.
***”Bitty, how far are you? The fire is still going, but it flickered. What’s happening?”*** Leave it to Oliver to catch a mood shift at the thought of my dad.
***”Almost there, about five miles away. Do you think it’s a good idea to split Cam and Kota up right now?”*** I can’t help but ask. I really want to know, but I also want to deflect his question. I don’t want to put them in unnecessary danger by having them apart.
***”We’ll be okay Tiny, just do what you need to do and both of you get back here as quickly as possible.”*** Cam says it confidently, but I can hear the unease in his voice too. They don’t like to be separated. Ever.
I shift quickly once I see Nikolas’ wolf. I look around and they seem to have more action on this side than we did. This is probably closer to where they are camped. I relay the information to the whole team. Nathaniel is narrowing his search to try and find where they are coming from so we can slow or stop the flow.
I don’t know how to turn on the flame though. So far it has happened when I am pissed off and ready to protect. I’ll just have to join in the fight, but I don’t want to risk Dakota either. Like he’s reading my hesitation though, Dakota blasts forward to add his skill to the frey.
***”You heard Oliver, Don’t leave my side Smalls. Let’s go!”***
Rolling my eyes I shift and begin to fight. Now that I know most of these people don’t really want to be here, I am having a hard time just killing them. That would be the easiest thing to do, and with a typical wolf’s ability to heal I have to find the fine line of injuring them just enough to keep them down, but also not making them suffer by dying slowly.
I still haven’t seen or heard from Mike after calling him a coward out loud. But, he may not even be in the fight yet. I take on two wolves who are pretty big, but no bigger than Sam. Their eyes are the deranged red color too and they are running at me hard. This is not going to be fun. I can see Dakota in front of me engaged in his own fight, so I dig my heels in and get ready for the blow that’s coming.
One is just a head closer than the other so I set my sights on him first. He comes at me snapping his jaw, but he overestimated my size and la was able to grab the skin on the underside of his neck and whip him to the side. Number two takes advantage of being out of my line of sight though and pummels me in the side, chomping at my legs, tyring to slow me down while I’m on the ground. The three of us start moving around each other, all legs and teeth and fur flying. Number one grabs me in the flank of my back leg and I let out a wail.
***”TINY!”***
***”Son of a b*tch! That f*cking hurt.”***
I’m still fighting through the pain and hoping that my abilities kick in quickly.
***”I can’t see you anymore. Where the f*ck did you go?”***
***”Dakota, I’m in the middle of something here. Take your panic out on some of these rogues. Focus.”***
A third wolf joins in and if I don’t get some help soon, I am going to lose this fight.
***”Dakota, I need your help. A third wolf joined my fight.”***
“Wait, are you asking for help? Who are you and what have you done with My Skylar?”
***”Shut up and come help me, Blg Daddy!”*** I laugh, sending one of the three wolves rolling back. Dakota growls over the link and it’s not a menacing growl either. S
Before he gets to me though, another wolf with white gray and tan markings comes out of nowhere and clamps down on one of the three that is attacking me. I can hear the snap of its neck before he’s tossed away. The white and gray wolf shifts just as Kotas gets to me and takes out the other two.
“Are you hurt, Sky?” He kneels down, kind of covering his manhood.
“Yeah, I’m good…”
Before I can get any more words out, he bends forward violently and falls to his side. “Robbie! What’s going on?”
