Graysons POV:
I waited at the top of the wall on Darrensnd. James on one side, Charlie the other.
They wereing, the air was too restless for anything else to happen. I wanted this done. I wanted to
be home. I wanted their alpha head on disy above my gates.
I held a bow and waited for them to trickle in I had no doubt they were inching toward if Darren was a
smarter mant he’d have cut down the trees near his walls so that an enemy couldn’t hide. Im sure he’s
seen that issue now.
His wife and newborn were inside these walls. Heavily guarded by guns with silver bullets, but I’m sure
he saw every w in his defenses right now and was praying to the goddess the enemy didn’t.
I know how I felt. I know I wished I had put sentries out to guard my outernd so they couldn’t make a
camp near my wife and unborn child. I knew I wished I had ordered silver bullets so that my family was
safe.
**I’ll be home soon
I could get their scent on the air they were too close. I scanned the trees they had to have been hiding
behind.
One of them poked their head out and I drew back. Waited for him breathing in and out, in and out
letting loose my
arrow.
It hit and he fell to the ground lifeless. More arrows flew and their warriors were falling. I looked at the
tree three over and shot someone in their knee and then Charlie shot their head as they went to grab
the arrow.
After a relentless couple of minutes for them with arrows barraging them like waves someone on their
side gave the call to charge.
It was the most I’d seen of them. A good number more than I would have liked ran out from the tree
line.
I shot arrow after arrow hitting a chest, a shoulder, and a throat. Killing and wounding as many as I
could. They had injured people fighting already though.
I could see the marks of our small skirmishes on these wolves, they had to fight us al over again
knowing the end result.
Some of them were attempting to shoot us back. Darren’s walls had slits for archers. They obviously
weren’t the
smartest.
I shot one of their would–be archers in his jaw and watched him make it ten times worse as he ripped
the arrow tip back out.
I looked down at the lower per of the wall a few standing there calling fordders. I took an arrow tip
dipped it in the oil, lit on the me, and shot it down.
Darren and I had dry hayid down at the base of his stone walls. It’s hard to climb over the fire.
I shot it down and the hay lit up, the little man beneath me screamed and squealed brushing his legs.
The more I watched them the less guilty I felt. I didn’t care for their pain, their senselessness, their blind
faith that they’d win. All it did was enrage me.
They brought thedders out and some of them attempted to put them up but they were met with arrow
tips and spearheads.
But they were undeterred falling back for a short bit and letting the fire burn itself out. Relentless.
I growled at their strategy. Someone with brains was in charge.
Jaime shot next to me and hit one of their warriors. Charlie hit another and then I shot and hit one
Still, they stayed. We must have halved their numbers but they refused to quit. All over some typos
sigma who behaved
like a jackal.
I felt my blood boil at their sense of righteousness over this entire thing. I had done my duty and I had
sent them their b*dy. They thought they had the right to be angry with me, to hunt my wife, to threaten
my mother. All for protecting a member of my pack.
I was so angry before I knew what I was doing I had jumped down from my spot on the wall
I wanted them to know how useless this fight was for them. They had no alpha blood and we had it
tenfold.
“Come on,” I whispered. One of them shot me with an arrow. I grabbed it from my shoulder and tossed
it to the
ground.
A spear aimed for my head and I grabbed it mid–air throwing it back at one of them and pinning them
through their
stomach to a tree.
They had no faith I would not shatter today.
A few more arrows came for me but I ran from them heading into their tree line and grab one of them
and tossing him over my shoulder.
Another I tossed out into the open. Hide in your shadows, im false innocence, and feign your dignity.
I’ll show you the truth clear as f**king day.
One of them climbed on my back as if that ever had ended well. I reach over digging my ws into
their shoulder hitting the bone then piercing the bone.
I wrechend them off of me stepping on the shoulder and mming a boot down feeling the crunch.
I heard one of them turn and run from me, a smart wolf amongst imbeciles. I stalked forward one of
them pulling a sword out as if that would help them.
It did appear to be silver. I suppose that was supposed to scare me. I danced with her as she twisted
her sword looking
for a moment to strike.
She went to jab my stomach and punched her arm holding the sword. She flinched but spun and tried
to slice my other side. I kicked her and she stumbled away.
The arrogant confidence oozed from her.
T
“You’re not special,” I exined to her and she charged me swinging down and I blocked and kicked
her in her chest again knowing the air out of her and leaving her gasping-
I took the sword from her. “Who’s in charge?”
The fear I saw made me smile, she inched away from me, or at least attempted to
I grabbed her arm squeezing just enough. “Who’s in charge,”
She tighten her pursed l*ps. I traced the top of the sword over her corbone.
“Who,” I was tired of her silence.
“Leave her alone!” Some male tackled me off of her and she scampered away.
“Tackle the alpha with a silver sword,” I sighed. “Not smart.”
He gulped and put up his fists facing off against me.
“For goddess sake,” I rolled my eyes grabbed him mming him into a tree taking one hand and
punching him knocking him out.
They’re just kids. They’re stupid. Relentless. Naive. They all think they’re fighting for some stupid noble
cause.
I took the sword and begun cutting them down one by one. One of them would charge me and Id slice
them open.
I cut one of them on their thigh the artery and I heard the unseating of another sword.
I turned. He wasn’t any form of a high–blooded wolf, but he was big. There was a trace of something in
him for sure.
“You shouldn’t havee down,” He sneered.
“You all think you’ll actually win,” I shook my head grinning. “What a sad day for all of you,”
He
swung would.
down at me I knelt blocked, and punched him in his ribs and then hishers. He crumpled as any
man.
I circled him letting him get up. If he was to learn this lesson it would have to be taught slowly.
“Come on I’m waiting,” I drawled.
More of our men hade down by this time to fight hand–to–hand. Wolves transformed around me
as we began to truly beat them.
The wolf I faced pushed off the ground and yelled charging at me with ferocity. I sidestepped him and
sliced his buck
just a bit.
He hissed and spun getting into position and swinging again. I blocked him and pushed back on his
sword and swung to his opposite side before quickly moving back and slicing his ribs.
“AGH!,” he let out a frustrated grunt.
I took this time and sliced over his shoulder. The thought of taking down that other wolf those weeks
ago in a simr fashion entered my head.
That time I hadn’t been able to get back to her. This time, this time the message would be sent loud
and clear.
He stood back and squared off with me again. He seemed to wait this time for me to strike up learning
at least something.

nice any longer. The silver had no doubt started to affect him truly, he’d be beyond hazy by
I swung again slicing depose this time across his entire torso in a diagonal.
I kicked him square between the ribs and knocked him to the ground. I brought my hand back and
punched him. feeling his jaw pop as the blow went through,
He wheezed bloody in his mouth, eyes wide and delirious. He grabbed around at the earthen floor
grasping for his sword that was three feet away. 1
When I knelt down on his chest and took the sword tip to just where his heart should be he rested his
head back and met my eyes with the dawning realization that he had no way out.
“Do you still think that you will win?” I
asked him.
“I know what you’ll lose,” he smiled in that deranged fashion of a man beaten.
“I don’t lose,” I plunged the sword through his bones and into the soft tissue of his heart.
Then to prove my point. I grabbed his hair dug the de into his throat and sliced it this way and that
cutting his
head off.
I grabbed it off the ground, holding it high in the air and waving it around. “Look!” I shouted and the
fighting closest to me stopped.
“LOOK?” I demanded again.
The warriors shing all ceased and looked up at their leader.
“This will happen to all of you. I’ll do it myself. Leave now! And nevere back!” I looked over and
rolled it to the nearest wolf of theirs
“You show this to him. You knew which one I’m referring to. Tell him the same thing, and if he still goes
on that,” 1 pointed with word tip to the head and walked up to the small wolf bringing the sword to his
n*eck. “Is what you are
worth to him,”
They all fled after that, the small one took the head and bolted. Darren’s men walked them back out of
ournds.
He knew to set up sentries and guard towers, and he intend to keep them well–supplied with defenses.
I got up into the helicopter that she sent for me with her brothers. Not a single scratch on one of us.
