Chapter Nine

Sage allowed her body to be hurried across the battlefield, and she was thankful that Jules and Jackson already managed to escort Amy and Ronan inside. As Remus planned according since there were a few warriors who were lounging in the packhouse waiting for the signal.

"Luna, the Alpha said we should head to his office."
"I guess I can't fight..." Sage mumbled following after her Beta and Delta. Eli would join the fight in a moment, as he needed to know that his Luna was protected and set.

Amy followed short behind and they lingered in the Alpha's study, only for Eli to rush off towards the bookcase. Sage stood wide-eyed at the wall moving open like a door to reveal another door.

"Wow, secret door," Sage whispered, and before long the four wolves and two pups were ushered into the Luna's safe room. A failsafe that all packs would have in case of breakout like this.

Remus had it updated before the pups came, and it was stocked with emergency supplies. It was as large as their living room at home, and Sage went to work in getting Rue out from underneath the blanket.

"How about I set up the couch so you can lie down? Mama needs rest too," Amy said, a massaging hand giving Sage a sense of comfort as the elder wolf gestured to the couch, pillow and blankets.

And she didn't realize just how much energy she had used up in standing there beside Remus at the ready. The blanket she felt wrap around her was warm and the final product to her passing out once more.

But the others were relieved, especially when Jack was staying in tune with how the enforcers were doing. Realistically, they didn't want anyone to die. Even Alpha Nathan, who was targeted left and right.

They had the upper hand for sure, a vendetta and a pure need to settle of frustration of being constantly hated for something they shouldn't be at fault for anymore.

Remus was nothing more than a pup when the packs had been announced to war, his mate's tortured life ended up being a byproduct of Randel's ways.

Hayes and Remus had surrounded three of the most wanted in their mind.
Calvin, Nathan, and Miles.
While the two were outnumbered by one, the fear in their faces was enough to suggest that they were actually worried about the outcome.

With the pups out of the way, it was easy to focus on the fight. But the vial and cruel face that Calvin had made while he straightens his back from his fighting position...

"Funny how you're siding with the enemy, Hayes, when Crescent Moon is the reason your mate was traded into the Underground." Remus had never felt more elated at the fact that he had taken everyone's advice and told Hayes what the council theorized.

And while it solidified Calvin's fate, it also supported the theory further.
This was their ticking time bomb.

"Mate." The presence of Hayes' wolf caused the three Alpha's to ease back, thinking that they were safe from fighting their fellow council member. But Mystic defended Crescent Moon and its pack members since Randal's actions had reached his ears.

Did he have an epiphany that one of his pups would be mated to a Moon heir?
He had no clue, but his wolf was on a warpath now. And for someone who had been labeled as a hero for his deeds in finishing the war, he would make it known how he truly did it.

The wink that Remus received from his in-law gave him a bit of comfort, but the way he strode up in an attempt to set the scene was what nightmares were made out of.

With the three Alpha's smirking at the twist, thinking that they regained Hayes on their side, the tables had soon turned as Hayes turned right around and gripped Nathan by the neck and squeezed until his fingertips touched his thumb.
