Chapter 82

Graysons POV

Getting this done with as little bloodshed was all I’d wanted. I had tried to avoid war, I’d tried to stompthis out.

Here I now stood on the edge of their lands ready to strike. We were not going to be kind to them infact I had more than one trick up my sleeve today.

They had threatened my family and made a claim against my wife. Their consequences would fit theircrimes.

I looked around as the men stood beside me far over to the right Charlie stood waiting for me to givethe word. Immediately to my left was James, poised and ready to take down as many as he could.

We would come home to her. I’d get them home and the second I saw her I’d probably collapse.

It was around 3 am 1 was waiting for the first little slashes of daylight to hit the tree line before we’dcharge.

They’d all be asleep, unaware of what was going to happen. No innocents would be harmed anyonewho was not attacking us would be left alone.

I didn’t want to be a monster when I welcomed my son into this world. Then again I wanted him safe.

I should do whatever it takes.

After my b*dy ached from crouching down and I felt as if I’d fall over the sun began to peak out.

I rolled my shoulders and cracked my n*eck and we started to inch in upon them. I was not a fan ofmodern warfare technology but, some of them had their benefits.

Three sets of charges were placed along the walls of their stronghold. His final foothold here was aboutto be burnt to

dust.

We all stepped back, the charges blew, and they knew we were here.

Men scrambled out of their barracks as we filtered into their compound. Like seawall caving in theywere sorely unprepared for the number of my soldiers infiltrating their hideout.

I had one man I wanted to see. The shadow game he’d played had cost me time I would never seeagain.

The thoughts of her sitting at home waiting for me rubbing her belly and feeling the kicks of our son.Seeing him through ultrasounds that I will never see in person.

I felt all of the frustration, sorrow, ferocity, and pain well up in me and it was now leaking out of me in aslow polson.

They started to replace me of course I towered over everyone so I suppose it was easy for them and Isuppose they knew their duty to try and stop me. If they were smart men they would’ve just stayed outof my way I was not going to spare them just because they thought they were doing the right thing.

I cut one of them down with a simple slice across his chest I made sure that it was deep enough that hewouldn’t be foolish to get up. The next one came at me with her fist raised so I took the knife andstabbed her in between her knuckles the shock on her face at my quick cruelty. She attempted tosweep my legs in some form of anger I believe.

Enzo growled and my eyes flashed and before I could stop him I stomped with might down onto herlegs it popped and she wailed. We kept walking though, there was more to be done and she was thefool who had naively thought to stop

1. me.

No, the only one who could stop me now was hundreds of miles away and I was ready to become adark figure of nightmares for the ants scurrying around me, all be an evil man in order to get back toher.

“AAAAAAHHHH” Something charged me with a sword.

A whiff got caught by Enzo and my claws extended. They had poison lacing the tip of their blade. I letthem come at me and spun out of the way taking my claws and shredding up their arm. the y weretougher than they appeared grunting holding in the pain they felt.

The poison smelled wafted off the sword and I grabbed it from them I saw the realization hit them. Itook the tip of the blade and slowly plunged it into their shoulder. They shuddered as I did it.

“Next time you shouldn’t use a coward’s weapon,” Enzo snarled from within me.

I knew that someone was coming up behind me but an arrow took them down before they could doanything. I kept walking, I’m sure that their alpha was trying to flee and live to attack me another day,from afar, in his hole.

We had archers beyond in the woods to stop him, but to let anyone else go. I was merciful after all.

I looked over and saw my brothers–in–law fighting back to back taking on a group of the enemy itseems a specialty of my wife’s family to do so. I heard a familiar scream and watched Charles falter.

Ella had a beast of a woman crushing her head but she was doing her best to claw her back. I marchedover and grabbed the feral woman off of my pack mate and threw her by her head against the side of abarrack and she unconsciously flopped to the ground.

“I had that,” Ella scoffed. “I know,” I looked down at one of my stronger warriors. I knew she did but Iturned back making sure Chalrie was able to focus again. “He didn’t,” I walked away from her and sheran after Charlie slicing down the back of someone trying to knock him out.

I sniffed the air the alpha blood was there in the northeast part of the camp. But some lower wolf wascoming for m

me l saw him as he made a show of coming toward me. He was larger than most of their men and hewas wilder in the eyes. I took another whiff, he was the beta..

“Come on then!” He smiled in an unhinged manner taking an axe off of her back.

I’m sure he thought of the praise he’d get for killing me for taking my pelt back to his masters. What ashame he’ll never get to see that.

I stood where I was not giving him an inch.

“Coward he grunted gesturing at me to charge him.

The more he talked the worse I imagined his end. He was not a smart wolf.

“A wolf doesn’t fear a dog.” I turned my back to him, and he let out a roar of anger before finally comingat me.

He swung low aiming for my stomach with his axe stupidly I swung at his arms but I didn’t cut deep Ididn’t want his arms cut off just yet,

I cut just before the bone. He gritted his teeth and seethed at me.

“As terrifying as you seem to think you are, you should back down now,” I warned him.

What fools do when they want to be right.

He gut punched me and I could have plunged my sword into him and ended this but what would thatteach him.

I swallowed his punch with ease and grabbed him by his shirt and pants and tossed him.

He huffed standing up like a child and dusting himself off.

“Enough games!” He almost whined.

“No games little dog,” I was thoroughly exhausted of this moron’s antics.

He came again and this time I pushed against his axe with my blade and he staggered back.

Not even worth a drop of sweat. They seemed so foolish to follow leaders like this who couldn’t evendefend themselves in their crazed adrenaline.

He swung again and I had had enough and plunged my knife up deep into his chest the blood drippingdown my arm.

I felt the wolves around me stop. I had wronged them deeply it seems they all stopped fighting mywarriors and charged me.
