Chapter 179
CAMRON: “Great. Well at least we don’t have the added anxiety of waiting to know one way or the other, we know now, and we can prepare for the clash as it were.” I say. They both nod. “I will have my people reach out to the small packs around us as well and try to get them to safety as well.” “Yes, I was going to make that part of the announcement tomorrow.” Drake says. I nod and head to the door. We all leave his office.
DRAKE: The next morning after breakfast was served, I look around the marquee, I see that most of the alphas and their heirs are present, so I go to the mic “Your attention please.” “We now know that yes Stone Claw is escalating, the small pack that alpha Fredrick was worried about was indeed attacked, but thankfully they are still with us. It is imperative that you all reach out to the smaller packs close to your own and warn them, have them band together, or try to get to the safety of a larger pack. The more we can save with forewarning the better for everyone. Let them know not to allow Stone Claw into their packs, as that may be a sure sign of scouting. Thank you.” I turn the mic off and go back to my table to have my breakfast.
JAMES: I was hoping to not have to ever be a part of a war, but I am somewhat relieved that I still have the previous generation here to learn from right now, because I’m not sure I would be able to do this on my own. Not having gone through Alpha training yet either, makes this even more surreal and scary for me. I also need to talk to Janica and dad about the shift that is going to happen at midnight, Janica and I are going to have to be seen going to my room tonight, because of the shift, and where normally we head north for the pack run, we are going to have to change that course for tonight, and head down to the lake, to keep Kes safe from prying eyes, namely Jessie. Especially since he made her think he sent Kes to Burning Ember Pack.
KESKA: I wake up wrapped in Trever’s arms and he is snuggled around me like I’m his own little stuffed security plushie or something, it’s sweet. I feel safe Jin his arms, like nothing and no one can hurt me ever again. I could get used to that. But I have to get up and get us breakfast even if it’s just something small. I try to shimmy, out from between his strong warm arms, but he just tightens them around me even more. I try an experiment of my own, to see whether it will work or not. I link him. “Good morning my prince, I have to get up to get breakfast started.” “Humm not yet, stay just a little longer, I just want you close to me.” “How long have you been awake?” “Since just now, I like hearing you in my head beautiful.” I know I am blushing at his words, and I duck my head in his chest. “Mmm Huh–uhm, don’t hide princess, I love your blushes.” Which only makes me blush more. But he raises my face so he can see me, our eyes lock and his head moves down to meet mine, his lips brush mine in a soft kiss, that I can’t help but kiss him back. “Trever, I really do need to get up, I need to get you guys fed, and I need to use the bathroom.” “Only because you need to use the bathroom babe.” He lets me go. I get up and go do my business, wash my hands and head to the kitchen to start cooking, I am not great at cooking, but I can at least make meals that can be eaten.
