<b>Chapter </b><b>189 </b>


    Lewana POV


    Serena and I are buzzing this morning. It’s been a while since we had a good game of chase. We were watching Murdock yesterday, and he is excellent. Very unhinged but very good. A lot of his ideas and suggestions have good merit, and under his advice, Nightstalker is doing a massive upgrade in the house on all security.


    I watch as Liam exins what happened yesterday, as I approach the soldiers and guards. As soon as they see me, I can feel the shame rolling off them at the fact that they failed twice yesterday. Honestly, I think it’s good that they failed. At least they are starting to take things seriously and think more.


    Murdock told us he had thought of another way they wanted to try this afternoon. To give us more of a chance at stopping them, they have told us they areing from the East, so we only have 90 degrees of territory to watch, and it’s where the ins are, so it’spletely open space.


    I stay within the territory border and observe the soldiers patrolling the boundary. Conrad is worried about me eating, so he makes sure one of the omegas has me set up with a table, food, water, and something to take notes in.


    It’s about two when I notice it. They’ve breached the border, and the team on the boundary hasn’t noticed. Gilly suits. Very good ones. They are most likely using a scent blocker and have covered themselves in native nts. I notice the same way I notice Lycans. The unnatural movements when they move and the rustlings in the leaves don’t


    sound like a small critter.


    I let them continue, but text Michelle she can go back to what she was doing as they


    won’t get past me. She sent backughing emojis.


    I let them get close enough to the end of the ins, and I can see they are starting to fan out to use the treeline as cover. I’m starting to see what Murdock meant. They noticed all the subtle signs as they were waiting for arger invasion. Something obvious. They aren’t watching the forest as they assumed they would spot theming in on the open ins.


    I decide to end this and prove a point to everyone in real time. I grabbed one of the backup paintball weapons that was on standby and opened fire. Shot all six that had gotten onto ournd, one of which was Murdock.


    He springs to his feet and startsughing. “Seriously, run away with me“.

    I just roll my eyes. “You don’t seem like the type to help with the nappy changes, so no“.


    The soldiers just stare at me with their jaws on the floor as Murdock walks up to me,


    smiling. “When did you notice them?“.


    “About 20 minutes ago, when you crossed into my territory“.


    He is gleeful at this. “What gave us away?“.


    “You didn’t always move with the wind, and the movement was too rhythmic. Animals


    pause to eat, go slower, faster. Not move at the same steady pace“.


    “Marvellous. Absolutely bloody marvellous“. Murdock goes running into the house, most likely to n his next siege, but I stayed behind.


    I turned and gave the soldiers a hard re. A silent warning to pay more attention, and


    they all turned their head to show submission and acknowledge what they needed to do.


    I head back into the house and see Murdock exining, very animated, to Conrad about


    how I actually caught him.


    He just walks over to me and whispers in my ear, “That’s my girl“.


    I just smile and hold him close.


    We head to dinner that night, and Murdock joins us. You can tell this had upset Liam, but he was putting up with it for now.


    We are all talking when there is a knock on the door. It’s one of the Omega staff.


    “Sorry for interrupting, but an animal was left at the vet clinic today. Abandoned by the door“.


    “That’s strange“.


    They bring it in, and the smell hits me first. I instantly start to panic and hold my pregnant belly as I back away against the wall in fear.


    Conrad is instantly on his feet, and everyone stares in confusion. “Moonlight. What is


    it?“.


    I stare at the rabbit in the cage and instantly understand what it means.


    “It’s him. He sent it. I can smell him. His nickname for me was his caged little bunny“.


    Conrad pulls me into a tight hug and rubs my back to try to calm me down. Murdock


    starts inspecting it.


    “There’s a note on the bottom of the cage“.


    He takes it out and reads it aloud.


    “My cute little bunny, you think you’re so funny, having new men over to y. I’ll


    ughter them all for Conrad’s downfalls, and cut out my mate on doomsday.


    Surrender to me, admit you’re nobody, and return to your confines. Swallow your pride,


    four months to decide, before ande and take all that is mine“.


    Everyone freezes, but Conrad just holds me tighter.


    Murdock looks around the room, confused. “Someone is going to have to fill me in here“.


    Conrad takes over. “It means either Lewana surrenders herself to very and hands over


    her pups, or in four months, he wille and remove them from her as they will be viable at that point“.


    I silently sob into his shirt. “It also means he’s changed his ns. He no longer needs our son with Cordelia out of the picture. He only needs our daughter. He’s going to kill


    him“.


    Murdock stands up pissed. “It also means I’ve been under surveince since we have


    been here“.


    :


    He is already on his phone screaming at his team.


    “Call in all soldiers on standby. Code red. Lock this site down with our men and no sleep


    tonight“.


    We turn and look at him in shock.


    “I’m sorry, Lewana. I get your life and pups were just threatened, but the fact that someone has probably been watching me pisses me off to no end. I’m the best for a


    reason“.


    I look at him, and my eyes dry up instantly. “Don’t be. If he ising in four months, then I need him dead in three“.


    A wicked grin crosses his face. “As you wish, Your Highness“.
