WebNovelChapter 0396 - Josie - "All fighters to the meadow...NOW!" Dad commands through the pack-link, his aura thick and heavy.
I move, taking a step closer towards the location of the scene, towards my family, to Lobo...who needs me. Hopefully, it is one or two rogues that have penetrated through the borders in a desperate act for help...but something deep inside ofthinks not. I've never seen both my parents react like that.
I take a further step, only for arms to ripback and liftin the air. For the air in my lungs to be knocked out of me.
He pushestowards the front door, my hands gripping on to the door frto prevent him from pushingin and lockinginside. Like that would stop me.
I would break through a window.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot only do my family need me, but my alpha has given a pack wide order for all available fighters to get to the border by the meadows. My meadows.
"Go inside and hide!" His command is just as thick and heavy as Dad's was.
"No!" I seethe out through gritted teeth, as I fight against his hold.
"Get inside now." He growls at me, his head whipping behind him as pack members run past the alpha house towards the direction of the meadows. I need to go, I need to be with them.
"Knox...Stop." I growl back at him. The pack mind-link has been opened by Dad for the pack members to openly communicate; leaving my head spinning from all the shouting through it.
I can't concentrate on one voice, there are just too many. All shouting louder than the other.
"Shut it off!" My wolf commands forto do, and I follow her order.
"I need to be with them." Determined than ever I fight against his hold, trying to pry his fingers off me.
"You need to be inside, where I know you are safe and I can help them." He roars back at me.
"Knox." "Josie, please...I've only just got you back. You will go inside and wait forto return... Josie please. You aren't trained to fight yet, I can't help your family if I'm watching you..." "Knox..." I continue to seethe out only for a high pitched scream through the pack wide mind-link to stop me. The pained scream informsthat somebody has died... Dad's ferocious growl echoes through the pack bond as a pack member passes on to the moon.
I wanted to fight, I could fight...I didn't want to sit back and let my entire back fight whilst I hid in the house. That just wasn't me.
"Josephina...please, I'm begging you." The plea in his voice is unmistakable, it is uncharacteristically not Knox right now. He was desperate...he needed to know I was safe so that he can fight by my family's side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Be careful." I place a hand to his cheek, my fight against him ending as my body softens. I need him to protect my family but also protect himself and if staying here does that, so be it.
He pullsinto him, his lips crashing into mine before they are gone, those tingles a burning memory of his kiss as I watch him run away from me.
I close the front door, running downstairs to the basement....to my vault.
I might not be able to fight with my wolf yet, but I am still the best shooter in this pack.
My hands are shaking from a true threat being amongst us as I open the secure vault and pick up my gun.
I take the bullets out, reloading them with silver ones. I drop the first one, shrieking out as the e silver burnsrat my skin was no longer immune to silver. Pulling my hoodie off I crouch down to retrieve the bullet, using the material of my jumper to pick it up with my now protected fingers.
Carefully I load my gun, my eyes scanning the rest of the vault... the main armoury has shiper guns. If I Ν.Ο. could make it to the armoury I could help take out the threat from a distance. My parent's bedroom...they have the best view of the lands behind us, sometimes if I squint enough I can see the meadow and my cabin.
Determined, I shut the vault locking it back up before running back up the basement stairs and continuing up another flight of stairs until I am in my parent's bedroom, swinging open their window.
