Chapter 60 “I want our best trackers out there with a team of warriors.” | ordered Aarron who nodded toand went to prepare the people he had in mind.

“Matt and Elizabeth, you work those River Phase pack warriors until they can handle a pucn.” | instructed them.

“Steven is far far too lenient with them for them to be considered warriors,” | muttered.

My wife chuckled besidesas the went over our available warriors and trackers checking on everyone's status and schedule. She had almost beca den mother to the warriors heading their requests for where they wished to fight, seeing that families were coping with the idea they’d be leaving, and instructing them on how to improve.

“Wouldn't it be better for the safety of your warriors to send a drone.” Charlie asked me.

“As if he cares,” | heard James mutter in the corner. He'd been allowed to sit in and | had ordered him to serve lunch to my council.

“They'll shoot it down in an instant, and then they | know we are coming for them and run for it, | want the quietness of trackers and the skill of warriors,” | explained to Charlie.

| have to admire his fathers wisdom in sending him here to learn strategy for warfare in case Charles himself ever had to be in this position.

| walked up to the younger brother and stared him down but the teen had very poor risk assessment skills and didn’t cower. “You would think you'd do better to keep your mouth shut in front of my advisors, | believe you'll be spending the day assisting the elders, they've been fermenting healing salves for the past couple of months should be good and ripe for you.” “Like | care.” He shot back atbut | could see the agitation.

“I have apologized to Annette and cto terms with the mistakes I've made. She is my Wife, my Luna, and she’ll stay here until we are buried,” | leaned against my desk as the little boy huffed and puffed.

“She has a whole pack trying to kill her because you killed the wrong wolf and made a show of it,” He growled.

“And on top of that you have refusedto speak to her again, cutting off a means of support for her in her condition,” He finished with a whispered insult.

“I defended my pack, and if you are so worried about your sister needing support perhaps you shouldn't insult her for staying with her soulmate?” | knew | had struck a nerve because his face flinched. “And for your information Annette can speak to you whenever she wishes, she’s been choosing not to because she’s stressed out enough,” He went blank. With all the loyalty she has in here, and how much she cares for those she loves | understand why he was surprised to hear it was Annette staying away.

Since she’d found out she was pregnant the only thing she wanted was to protect our pup, she had decided not to stress herself out with James and focus on relaxing her mind for the baby.

“Annette wouldn't” He denied.

“You know she has because you know the reason, the one reason she has to remain calm, and you know if she loses this she'll never be the same. So | suggest you go to the elders and help them prepare their slaves and check on the smelly ones. And for her sake and stop thinking only about yourself,” His eyes flashed for a second before he ripped my office door off it hinges and stomped off.

“Goddess he’s a mess,” “Get back here and fix this James!” Charles called.

“Elizebeth, please take Ella and guard Annette for the rest of the day,” | called. She nodded toand left.

We would attack them and take as many prisoners at their camp as possible. This would be the first twe took blood with our hands.

The trackers were sent out that night with the warriors closely behind them they'd find the camp and they'd take them. We Had sscent mask so they were doused in it before they left. Handling everything with this war, James and his idiotic temper, and Annette she was exhausted lately.

The image of the the wavy lines on the screen and the sound of our baby’s heartbeats were all that keptguing..

1 cto our bed late after sending the tracking group out, she was waiting foras she read sbook about pregnancy. Though the tof a wolfs pregnancy is the sAnnette would have a far bloodier birth than a human, and she would get larger faster and stay that way longer, she already had that bit of swell to her lower belly.

“You seem like you're being crushed,” She looked up towith her small smile.

“It's been a long day,” | nodded my eyes closed with exhaustion.

Chapter 60 She cover and placed a k*ss on my I*ps before curling into me. “Talk toabout it,” “I just have to protect everyone, but | know that slives will have to be lost. | worry about you with how tired you've been. I'm sure people have noticed but they say nothing. | can only hope if there is a mole they haven't caught on. On top of it your brother continues to test my patience,” She let out a slow and long breath. “James should be none of your concern. The more he knows he’s getting to you, the more he'll keep it up,” She crawled on top ofand opened my eyes. “You are not in charge of who lives and dies you have helped train them and when they go out there their lives are in their own hands,” pursed my I*ps.

“Are the one who weaves fate?” She appraised me.

An old tale for wolves that the goddess weaves our fate into our fur so we cannot escape it.

No.

“You are not the one in charge of who lives and dies, don’t drive yourself into an early grave thinking that,” She laid herself against my chest. “I don’t know if you're aware but you have a little thing to live for soon,” She started k*ssingagain and | found myself eased again by her I*ps and her hands. | found peace in her before | went to sleep that night.

It was only three days wirth the tracking party out before we had the location of the camp, now it was tfor blood.
