Chapter 95

Elizebeth POV:

We’d tracked the wolves west I wanted to keep following them but they then turned north and knewthey were throwing us off the trail so Charles and I went to intercept.

After running day and night for days we’d made it to the Frozen Moon Pack. I’d carried that baby fromhis bundle by my mouth in turns with Cecelia. I’d originally found the girl boringly crass, but now I sawher loyalty and respected

her for it.

I was fully ready to accept any punishment my alpha saw fit to hand me but he knew his wife and knewshe’d done the right thing. Still, I felt as if it was my duty to have protected her after all she’d done forme I should have laid down my life before I let them take her.

She stood up for me against the whole of the pack when A- when he betrayed us all. I had not beenparticularly kind to her when she first came if the alpha hadn’t trusted her neither did I.

Instead she withstood it all and respected me for my conviction and loyalty. I grew to trust her with myvery life.

Her family on the other hand was a bothersome emotional mess and I found them to be lacking in theprinciples my Luna held. She was steadfast, unwavering and they crumbled to floor.

I had my husband betray us watched him die, and saw him get executed and I still did my job and wenton with my life. as it never happened. The Luna gave up her child and possibly her life so that the heirand Grayson could live she did it without question. They should look at her example and follow it like Ido.

I stood next to her brother, one of the more bearable members of the clan, if only he wouldn’t turn into abumbling fool in front of Charlotte. Turning against hundreds of years of tradition all over a pretty face. Irolled my eyes at the thought.

“I’ll take down the larger of the four do you think you can handle the two in the rear?” he asked me I’msure he didn’t think I noticed him sizing me up.

“I’ve sparred with the Luna, I can handle it,” I started stretching.

“They’ll be under that pass soon we’ll take them there,” he instructed.

“Fine with me,” I took a handle of the darts and placed them in my pocket. I’d use the small crossbowbut they’ll see that coming.

We headed out he took the jump off the pass and I positioned myself in the bushes. Yes, there werefour of them and two of us but rouges tended to be untrained and malnourished I had no doubts we’dbag them.

I could smell them foul like dead carcasses lingering up the road. Life out in the wild doesn’t do a wolfwell, they need community, and when they’re like that it shows. Matted and patchy fur coated them andtheir claws curved because of their length.

I scrunched my nose up at them they could have been banished for ill behavior or they could have leftan evil pack but

I saw them as guilty until innocent, I had no qualms about what was going to happen.

I got into a lunge and waited until the four of them were dead in the middle of my sight. I launched atthem claws extended the girl saw me first and turned to bite but all she got was the bone of myshoulder I took out one of the smaller men.

I threw the small man and went after the female she shifted back eyes flared but it didn’t look natural.

“We’re not here to fight.” she held up her hands.

1 did not engage in conversation sweeping her legs and jabbing her in the face but she grabbed myarms and rolled

away.

Charles then jumped on the two larger males from above as they attempted to charge me. The youngermale came at my back and I was able to duplex him onto the ground.

He was “young, not even 14. I would say he was a small wolf that had followed his sister. She lookedwild and unkempt. I shot him quickly, which appeared to upset his sister as she screamed.

A large male was launched in between me and the sister and she growled at me. They had similarpatterns as wolves and their noses and eyes are the same..

at me fist raised I punched her in the stomach and she took it. I was surprised to say the least so then Iwent at her ribs she let out a cough and I must have knocked the wind out of her I brought my knee upto her face trying to get her down quickly.

A hand pulled the back of my neck and I was thrown to the ground a large man got on top of mepunching me in the face I put my hands up holding off his advances as best I could as Charlie cameand tackled him off of T

They wrestled to the ground and the girl came and charged me we held onto each other’s shoulders ina battle of strength. I needed to get out of this as we were at a standstill the other male and Charlietoppled into us.

I pushed Charlie off of me giving him an annoyed look but turned back to them the girl lunged at meagain and I dove sliding along the dirt and spinning up swinging at her and blocking the slow kick sheattempted.

“We’re not here to take anything!” She pleaded with me again I took a dart out of my pocket.

The large brute of the man went down behind me. I went after her and jabbed the dart into her. Shedropped down looking at me with pain in her eyes.

I huffed in and out looking over the bodies they were down. I looked over and Charlie nodded to him forconfirmation that neither one of us wasn’t overly injured. I’m sure I didn’t look the best. That man got afew good hits in before I

was able to block.

He picked up his walkie called in. “Ready for extraction, over,”

“Thank you for the assist,” I would have been knocked unconscious without him.

“It shouldn’t have been needed,” I was surprised a man of his level would admit to the mistake of lettingan opponent

Charlotte hopped out of the track with a med hit “Goddess be Elizbeth,” she got me into the van and Ipassed the mim in the way I looked really had but I didn’t feel it, must be the adrenaline.

“You’re lucks he didn’t get his claws nut imagine the infection,” she cringed at the thought. “You didgood the Alpha

I gave her a small smile. She was friends with the Lana but I wasn’t close with her. I suppose she felt asolidarity with me over this Normally I would have told her she didn’t need to reach out to me as acourtesy but I felt now she was

“I think your nose is broken,” she winced: “Til have to set it,” she looked at me apologetically.

“Alright,” I nodded to het

She took an alcohol wipe to it and closed my eyes the set a towel in my hands. “Grab this,” she toldme. I did and before I could worry about it she pushed the cartilage back into place. I grabbed the toweland it hurt but the pressure in my face I hadn’t realiand cleared up

“Are you alright?” He looked at me with trust and respect.

I nodded to him. I looked over at the people around me. I had been avoiding everyone since returningashamed of being the wife of a traitor.

The worst part was I thought over every moment we’d had together, the way I saw all my community assomewhat frivolous, airy, or oblivious. I realized every time he’d been there whispering the angeredthoughts in my ear.

1 felt like a stranger in my own b*dy. My memories had folded in and blackened, dark and horriblethings to me now,

Perhaps I hadn’t been the beacon of value to my pack as I’d once thought. Perhaps I should help themby being kinder

and more open.

“Thank you for looking over my son,” Alpha Jonathan extended his hand to me.

“Thank you alpha Jonathan,” I shook his hand and bowed my head.

“It occurs to me I should thank you for doing as my daughter requested and saved my grandson aswell,” he straightened.

“She’s my Luna,” I looked him in the eyes then. “I would die if she requested,”

He smiled softly to me and let go of my hand walking over to his son and wife. I followed after theothers down to the

cells.

“Darling! Oh you look awful,” Luna Lilliana paled at the sight of my face.

“Better me than you Luna Lilianna,” I gave a half smile.

“Oh don’t say that,” she winked at me sitting down beside Grayson.

“So Gray what’s the plan

“Play nice. Give them comfort and hopefully, they’ll play nice,”

“Oh? Look at you playing the good cop,” she smiled.

Hopefully, we could get information out of them on the Luna. This is the first lead we’d gotten and for allour sakes I hoped she’d be home soon.
