Chapter 0271

My temper flares and I may have to pretend later that my wolf’s rage took over and I had no controlover my words or my actions. “Excuse you, are you f*cking kidding me? I was there, unlike you, Ifought several of them. You can attempt to dismiss me all you want, but your delusions do notchange the fact that my experience in this situation outweighs yours.” I turn toward Alpha Beau.“You are right, they were working together. In a way that suggests they train together, no differentthan any of our warriors. Three attacked while two hung back to observe. The second two engagedwhen Oscar, Mina and I were all injured in some way and separated. They knew what they weredoing. I know I am not a full warrior yet, so I probably won’t get to hear these answers, but theyneed to be asked anyway. How did they get within a ten minute drive of the castle? I’m sure that youhave people working on that, but there is no way five of them got past that many border patrolsundetected unless they had some way to mask their scent and hide their trails.” I looked to AlphaReggie, hoping he could read my mind. It’s the same as the attack on my pack, no scent, no trail tofollow, the only difference is we actually got to fight someone this time and I don’t think the rogueswere expecting us. “Are there evacuation plans? Based on reactions and observations, this is notthe first time any of you have seen something like this.” I look at each Alpha, they all seem to betrying to hide the shame at being called out. We are all being attacked, but why?

“You’re right,” Alpha Emanuel speaks directly to me for the first time. “You won’t be hearing any ofthese answers, child. Now that you have given your account you may leave and let us strategize.”

I roll my eyes and look at Alpha Reggie. I’m sure he can see the murder in my eyes, but if he wantsme to go so these idiots will actually get something done, I will. It’s about the greater good andbenefit of the pack members, not my ego. This jacka*s will get his and I hope I at least get a fewgood hits in before that happens.

Alpha Reggie nods his head, understanding surging from his eyes. At least he gets that I just wantto help. “Skylar, just a few more questions. Did you scent anyone before the attack?”

“No Sir, and I was downwind. I was the first to be attacked so I should have had some level ofwarning.” He knows of my strong and kind of unique sense of smell. That is one thing that has beenbothering me all day too. I didn’t scent them at all.

“Did any of them say anything to you? Was there a threat issued?”

“No, nothing.They just growled and attacked. I’m not sure if that was because they didn’t expect usand acted on impulse or if they were the frontline of the attack and the people with threats orsomething to say were in the shadows watching somewhere.”

“And this is why she is here.” Alpha Reggie looks at Emanuel. I can’t even put his title in front of hisname in my head, he doesn’t deserve it. “She brought up a point none of the rest of you evenconsidered.

“I wasn’t allowed to help with the patrols after,” I look pointedly at Warrior Osiston, “So I can’t tellyou if there were any other scents in the surrounding area and if they were doing any kind ofmasking it’s probably gone by now, but I would be happy to do a sweep just in case.”

“When we are done here, I think that would be a good idea. You can take a team and see what youreplace. In hindsight we should just keep a healer with you at all times so you can work through yourinjuries, since you seem to be in the line of fire most of the time.” He smiles at me and I just roll myeyes before returning it.
