The Wannabe Warrior
Chapter 44

Madison POV

‘From my quick perusal of the computer emails and spreadsheet; the advisor is threatening to harm or kill Luna and the children of the Alpha, the same way as he killed my mum and Luna, he did use them as an example, and with the scent I have smelt on him, I believe he is the one to kill my mum. One of the people that is on the list under threat, is your mate’s sister, Alpha, and I believe that is why she has been helping the advisor. She is worried about her sister. I will give you the list of packs. The other valid information, is that the date of the attack will be at midnight at the ball.’ I conclude and sit down, waiting for the Alpha to digest the information and ask questions.

The room is quiet at the information is taken in by all, even Gerome had not known all that I had found.

‘Something that Madison did not mention, is that the mine is where we believe they are housed, they sleep and eat and make items of war, we have seen boxes of food and other equipment being taken into the mine, and that the mine is in fact connected to the caves. We have seen patrols of rogues as they left a cave and, a few hours later, entered the mine site.’ Gerome said, pointing to the cave in question and placing a yellow line from the cave to the mine and how long it took for the rogues to do that trip. He then did the same with the other mines as he slowly worked out the time it took the rogues to travel the distance.

‘Gerome, has counted and labelled, three hundred and fifty rogues.’ I added.

‘We have about sixty now caught and are either dead or in the dungeons. The advisor will have to come to conclusions about their disappearance. One is if they are dead or two. They have left, not wanting to live the pack-style life again, Gerome, will that sixty be part of your count?’ Zane asked.

‘Yes, I have them in my count.’ Gerome replied, still looking at the map on the screen, displaying his changes. Labelling the mine as sleeping quarters and such like.

‘Then we have about two hundred and ninety rogues, and who knows how many warriors the advisor thinks he has from the threatened packs and the Dark River and Northern Pack.’ Zane concluded with a huff.

‘Do we have any idea what they are doing in the caves yet?’ Alpha asked, as he watched Gerome change the screen to include his changes.

‘Nope. Nothing has gone in that we have seen.’

‘Alpha, do you think you could invite Alpha and family to come here? Say a week before the ball and we can protect them. Be careful if you phone them, not to say anything over the phone about what is known. They may be bugged, and I thought you could phone as a pleasant chat, but mind-link the Alpha so he knows we know. What do you think?’ I asked.

‘I like that idea, we can start with that, and after I have talked to Alpha’s on the list, can we still do the movie night tonight? As we discussed, put that tonic in the punch, to see what is really going on in her mind. Mitch and Gerome, you can join this movie night, I think we all need to replace out what Luna knows.’

‘Yes, Alpha.’

‘Madison, what about the Northern Pack and the Dark River Pack? Do they have their Luna’s under threat?’ Zane asked.

‘No, Zane, from the emails I have seen, they are on board with the advisor and have been promised power when they win the attack.’ I answered softly.

‘Alpha, I have noticed on the list of the last delivery, materials that can make sleeping potions, dart guns and other items that can be used at a distance, and the rogue’s and every pack warrior they may have, will get their nails done with wolfbane. I have finished the solution that has been successful with Graham, my volunteer who allowed me to use him for my experiments. Graham still healed as per normal for a werewolf. We can distribute that solution to all who we send out. We don’t need to tell them why. Maybe we can add it to their water. It is tasteless. Only those you trust would know what is in the water.’ I keep thinking as fast as I can to come up with more ways to win this war.

‘Good, good, and make some more blow dart tubes and darts, with both sleeping solution and wolfbane, if they manage to stay awake longer than expected, they won’t heal as fast if we have to keep fighting them.’ Alpha adds, we are all thinking of what we can do, with so little time left to do it.

‘When will the others arrive? My Alpha and the other packs that are coming to help us?’ I asked.

‘Tomorrow, they are taking the back roads, hoping we can keep their arrival a secret until they actually get here.’ Mitch answers.

‘Tents are ready, we are good a go with accommodation, and the rooms are ready on level two. I will take the Alphas aside, once they have arrived and have had time to refresh and eat and then update them on what we have found so far.’ Alpha spoke softly, looking at each of us, as if asking a silent question.

‘Okay, that is all. Let’s get ready for this movie night and relax a bit.’

We left the room and I headed to the kitchen for popcorn and snacks for the night, and to collect the punch that had the solution in it and another that did not. The one with the solution was Luna’s favorite and she most likely wanted that one, and hoped all would go well.
