ALPHA DESMOND
A heavy stone fell from my heart and burden when the young king accepted, to take my pack when my time came to step back. I had kept an eye on the young Alpha and his new mate during the tournament and liked what I had seen. He is a good Alpha and a strong one, even stronger than anyone knew, and his mate is also one of a kind.
We all heard what happened with his first mate, and I had been one of the Alphas to offer my assistance if he needed it. But he got through it and found his second chance, something any wolf losing a mate, hopes for. And from what I saw and heard those days at the tournament their pack already loves her, and she is good to Logan’s little daughter, which tells a lot about her. So yes, I feel good knowing that my pack will merge with theirs one day.
After eating and cleaning dinner, we are now sitting in the office. Logan takes the phone and calls up the Alphas number again, putting the speakers on.
“This is Alpha Casper. The voice says on the other line.
“Alpha Casper, this is Alpha Logan.” Logan greets him respectfully.
“Hello, Alpha. What can I do for you?”
“I am visiting close by and wanted to say hello to my old friend who moved here after meeting her mate. But I can not seem to get in contact with her and her mate.” Logan very diplomatically says
“I am sorry, I have not been Alpha for very long, so can you remind me who e are talking about?” the other Alpha asks. And we look at each other he was the Beta before. Of course, he knows.
“Ah, yes, no worries. It's Shannon and her mate is Niles.” Logan informs him.
“Ah yes, they have been going through a hard time in the family. So I do not think your visit comes at a good time.” The Alpha says.
“Could you possibly give me their number so I can contact them?” Logan ask.
“Look, Alpha Logan, I don’t think that’s a good idea.” The other Alpha says. But then I hear the voice in the bag ground.
“Logan, I mean Alpha. Please help. They killed.” That’s all I hear before a smack sounds so high we hear it on our end.
“Alpha Casper, I will advise you not to mistreat my old packmember or anyone else. Let me speak w.” Logan says.
“How I treat my packmembers is none of your concern. Goodbye.” The alpha cuts him off and hangs up.
The silence is deafening. But then a very angry aura fills up the small office, and Alpha Kyle and I look at each other before looking at the new king, who is looking furious.
“Call all the warriors you can spare. I will do the same. We are going in tomorrow. There’s no way in hell I’m letting this go.” He orders. And neither I nor Kyle questions it.
“I need some air. Sorry for this outburst. I’ll be back soon.” Logan says and leaves the office.

LOGAN
Fuck. Why do people who have little power turn into assholes? Had I known what I had accepted her into, I would have fought harder, to make sure she would be safe. But thanks to Mia’s rejection I didn’t keep up, not even with my old childhood friend.
‘Logan?’ I feel Liv pushing to our mindlink.
‘Hey, baby.’ I answer.
‘What is wrong.’ She asks.
‘Better be a good one. I want to go home to our mate.’ He answers.
‘Me too, buddy, me too.’ I tell him as we run back to the hotel.
Returning, I find the Alphas bend over a map and drawings with attack plans. I should have known and remembered that both of these two Alphas have many years of experience. I apologize again, but they do not want to hear it. Instead, they tell me about the plan, and after I tell them what Liv and I talked about.
“Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will get Kate to get things ready.” Kyle says before we all talk more about the plans.
It’s getting late, and Kyle looks at us.
“My warriors is one hour away.” He says.
“Mine are about the same,” Desmond says.
“I know mine are on their way. They probably are here early morning.”
Kyle and Desmond both have fifty warriors coming, and Liv had mindlinked me that Luca had left with 75 of ours. So that gives us 125 warriors. This should be enough, as we know females aren’t allowed to train, and the pack has around 400 members. Counting kids elders and women.
“We should get some rest. When your warriors come, let them rest a few hours, and then we go.” Alpha Kyle says, and I agree.
“Sounds good,” I say, and we split up to go to our rooms.
It’s later than I thought and I check my connection to Liv, but it’s very distant which tells me she must be sleeping. So I decide not to call and wake her up and lay down to rest.
