Now all the warriors and my family are herding the rogue wolves to me. They are all confused, but no one questions the direction. They trust my brand of crazy and just go with it.
***”Nickolas, I don’t know where Gentry and Elena are, but we need to do something with these rogues. I don’t want them fighting for or against us, even with whatever spell is broken. We can’t be sure that Mike can’t take control again or that this thing I am doing is permanent. Someone is going to get hurt or die if I just keep doing magic randomly.”***
***”As long as it’s aimed at Mike and the rest of his inner circle, kill away Little One.”***
***”Super helpful, Thank you. I need a witch, not a sarcastic ass.”***
***”They are on their way to you now. We will find a way to contain them as prisoners until we know the extent of the spell on them. Have you had a break where you are? We are still getting waves of wolves coming in groups of twenty or so.”***
****Same here. He’s trying to wear us down. I need to get over to you so you can start reversing the brainwashing too.”***
***”You won’t be able to save everyone, you know that right?”***
***”It’s not going to stop me from trying though.”***
***”At the cost of your own life?”***
***”If that’s what it takes. I was born or built or conditioned for this right here. I am a weapon to be used, nothing more.”
“”***
***”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.
