He had so much faith in me and believed in me. It gave me the confidence I needed. The fire ripped up with a roar of its own and then circled the Jeep. The rogues jumped back, and someone screamed “witchcraft.”
“Is she a witch?” I heard Hades whisper to Odessa.
“No, she’s elemental, like my brother.” She told him proudly.
“We’ll have to leave the car here. We’re going to shift, kick some rogue ass and run the rest of the way to the pack.” Dimitri said.
We stepped out of the car and shifted as fast as we could, our clothes shredded everywhere. A rogue jumped over the fire and Hades was the first to jump on him and sent his claws right into the rogue’s heart.
“Lower the flames.” Dimitri told me.
When the flames came down, Dimitri sent dirt and sand flying towards the rogues to blind them. Many of them howled as they were blinded. I almost laughed out loud thinking about the first time Dimitri did that to me. This trick never gets old, I suppressed my giggle. Dimitri turned and opened up a sink hole that took about ten rogues down. Rae was so impressed by her mate she let out a happy bark.
I used the flames from the circle to send fire balls at the rogues. Two of them were engulfed in flames and dropped to the ground screeching and whimpering in pain. Another one who’s tail caught fire jumped into the river. Alec pounced on the rogue near him and ripped his throat out. Dom stomped his paw and the ground shook again, he floated swinging boulders in the air, and I continued to shoot balls of flames.
The remaining rogues stopped the attack and ran off, there was no way they would be able to take out four black Alpha wolves and a Gamma. Dom unnaturally towered over all of us and they believed we had a witch. Dom tipped his head back and let out a howl. Hades returned his howl and the rest of us also joined in.
Rae rubbed herself up against Dom and he nuzzled into her neck breathing her in. When all this was over, she was going to need some quality time with Dom. Alec gave a bark and motioned his head in the direction of our pack. Time was ticking. We continued to race back the rest of the way through the forest.
Howls started ringing through the air as we approached. Our warriors and fighters were in fight formation ready for the coming attack. Spiro met us behind the pack house with an arm full of clothes. We shifted back and headed inside to the office. Niko, Clair, Knox and Rocky were all standing in the office.
“Hades!” Rocky said and engulfed him into a hug.
“You know each other?” Niko asked.
“We’ve been friends since we were pups. His mother was from our pack.” Rocky said confirming what he had told us. “I thought we would see you at Leo’s funeral, what happened?” She asked.
“Long story.” Odessa replied back smiling.
“Odessa is my mate.” Hades told her.
“Oh my Goddess! That’s wonderful!” Rocky screeched.
“We’re not celebrating just yet. We’ve got a fight coming.” Dimitri said.
“We did as you requested, we’ve set up and started fire pits burning around the entire pack territory for the Luna. The swimming pool is full, and the big water fountain is at maximum water capacity. Luna, we have fire hydrants throughout the pack territory as well.” Niko told us.
“That’s perfect, thank you.” I said.
“If you look closely, all the rocks and decorative boulders around the pack territory aren’t there by chance or just for decorations.” Niko grinned at me. That was actually a smart idea, to have elemental weapons strategically placed around the territory for Dimitri’s use. Maybe I could get him to build me a big pond.
“Stefanos will have some unshifted rogues, they will be the biggest threat. They’ve got guns with silver bullets.” Hades said.
“I think we need to put Raven in the bird’s nest and reinforce the steel around it for silver bullets.” Dimitri said.
“What’s the bird’s nest?” I asked.
“It’s a metal look out box on top of the roof, we call it the bird’s nest.” Spiro answered.
“I’m not hiding, I’m the Luna. I’ll fight with my pack!” I said.
“You won’t be hiding. You’re our greatest resource and surprise Raven. If they figure out what you are, you will be the main target. If you’re up in the bird’s nest, you’ll be in a bullet proof box able to control the fire and water attacks below. You’ll still be fighting.” Dimitri told me.
“Better listen to him sis, you’ll be able to do far more damage with your elements from up above than on the ground.” Knox said and I knew he was right.
“Alpha, I’ve got more steel reinforcement heading up to the bird’s nest, it should be ready in twenty minutes.” Spiro said.
“Move fast Spiro, I don’t think we’ve got twenty minutes.” Niko said. “Alpha, the scouts report the rogues are almost to the edge of our territory.”
Dimitri let out a growl. “Everyone in place now!”
Chapter 40 – Attack
“Be a good little bird and stay in the nest. Don't come out for any reason, understand?” Dimitri told me.
“Okay.”
“Keep the door locked from the inside. Don't open it for anyone. If you set one foot out this door, before I come back for you, I'm going to spank your bottom red!” He crashed his lips into mine. His kiss was hungry, demanding, and filled with emotion. The promise of another spanking sent an exciting quiver down my
