(Alexia POV)
I snapped the neck of the disgusting rouge and moved to the next one.
‘Alexia. The western border needs more help’ my father mind linked me as he nodded in his wolf form.
I quickly turned and made my way to the western border, stopping occasionally to kill the rouges in my way.
I can’t believe this happened. The whole pack in panic. They have attacked us when we are unprepared.
Why are they attacking us? Didn’t we make a peace treaty with them? Then again rouges can never be trusted. I can’t believe father thought it was a good idea to have a treaty with those born liars.
I growled as I snapped the neck of brown rouge that jumped at me.
I suddenly felt a surge of pain through my lower abdomen as I stumbled and fell whimpering.
Someone hit me.
My belly was bleeding and a small knife was stuck in the place. I struggle to stand up, desperately wanting to change but I couldn’t. Changing while such a thing is inserted will be dangerous.
Then again I would not want to change n***d in front of the person.
So my only option is to growl and scan the bushes as I simultaneously try not to collapse.
“You are strong aren’t you? You must be the alpha?” a voice came as I turned to the left and growled.
A black hair guy with black eyes came forward laughing.
“Weak and still barring your teeth at me? Shift werewolf. Let me see you pathetic ugly face” the man said as I kept growling at him.
I know who he is. The bow and arrow, the knife in his belt, the two guns hanging on either side, a tint smell of wolf ban.
He is a hunter.
But what is he doing here? How did he enter the pack premises?
Next to him emerge a werewolf, huge and red, probably the leader.
Wait. Are the hunters and rouge working together?!
Seeing them stand close to each other without actually killing seems to prove my concept correct.
But why?
Why would they team up?
“Is the big bad alpha hurt?” the hunter asked as I rolled my eyes.
I suddenly threw my head back and howled calling for back up. Other howls immediately filled the air from different direction as I mentally smirked.
The rouge barred its teeth at me and tugged the hunter’s court.
“What?” the hunter asked looking around in alarm.
The rouge growled one last time before moving back towards the bushes. The hunter taking the hint glared at me and went.
Seeing no immediate danger I fell on the ground, weak and tired letting darkness take over.
******-
I woke up wincing at the pain in my stomach.
“Urgh” I said as I lifted the blanket and looked at the wrapped wound.
The room was deserted. Only the sound of the heart monitor could be heart. I reached out and pressed the help button.
A few seconds later, a nurse came rushing in.
“Alpha Alexandria, you’re awake!” she said smiling at me.
“Let me call the doctor and inform the Alpha” she said before her eyes clouded.
After informing she looked back at me and smiled before looking at my trip.
“How long was I out?” I asked trying to sit up.
“A day and night, Alpha” she said as she adjusted the pillow for me to lean.
“That long and my wound are still fresh?” I asked confused. A wound usually takes a day to heal and in 2 days not even a scar will be seen.
“You have being stabbed with a knife filled with both silver and wolf bane, Alpha” Dr, Avery said as she walked in
“Hello Doctor” I said as she smiled and nodded.
“How are you feeling, Alpha? Is the pain bad?” she asked as I nodded.
“I still feel pain but it’s bad when I move” I said as she nodded and scribble on the note.
“Let me check if you have concussion she said as she nodded at the nurse.
The nurse took a black card and places it over the right eye. She then raised her other hand and asked me to tell what number she is holding.
“Three” I said as she nodded and changed the number.
“One” I said and she did the same to my other eye.
She raised her pointed finger in the air and asked me to touch it with mine. She repeated this a few times.
“Do you remember what happened at the attack” she asked as I nodded.
“Yea I remember everything” I said as I explained everything to her.
She nodded and wrote on the paper before she smiled.
She then unwrapped my wound and I winced at the wound. After she examined it for a couple of minutes she wrapped it with a new bandage.
“There is no concussion and the wound is looking better than before. A day more rest and I’m sure you will be able to move without much pain” she said as I nodded.
Suddenly the door opened followed by my parents, worry filled their faces.
“Oh thank god you’re awake” Mom said as she ran to me.
I smiled and nodded as she hugged me carefully. Dad did the same and the doctor repeated my condition to them.
“How are the others? Any casualties?” I asked as his face stiffened.
“5 deaths. Several injured. I have increased patrol and also intensified the training. Those rouges are sure to attack again” he said as I nodded.
‘They have joined the hunters. I don’t know how though” I said as he looked at me confused.
“I know hunters came here as well. But I don’t think they will work with any type of werewolves” he said as I shook my head.
“No. The hunters are involved in the attack. I saw it myself. The hunter leader was the one who stabbed me. The rouge was also next to him” I said as his eyes widen.
“This is bad” he said as I nodded.
“We need to ask the neighbouring pack’s help.” He said and I agreed immediately.
“Perhaps the Moon Shade Pack?” I asked.
“Yes I was thinking the same” he said.
Moon shade pack is not only our neighbour but also our relative. The present alpha is my direct cousin from my mother’s side.
“I have to train too” I said as mom shouted a no.
“You are still weak” she said as I shook my head.
“Mom, I’m an alpha. I have responsibilities. My pack comes first” I said.
“Your right. Your pack does come first. But for the next two days you will only do desk work. The office work is piled up and it needs to be done. Once the doctor says your wound is completely healed, you can start patrol and training” he said as I frowned.
“What?!” I said. No way am I doing only that.
“You're going to disobey me?” he asked as he used his alpha voice on me.
“No, Alpha” I said my voice strained.
I hate it when he uses that voice on me.
“Alright. Take rest. You need it” he said as I sighed and nodded as they walked out.
“Oh and you are not allowed to get out of the pack boundaries until this is over.” He said again using his alpha voice as I growled.
“What about Owen” I said but they had already left.
