Nova POV:

Hearing that my heart drops. “800 more rogues…?” I whisper. “How?!”

“My warriors have a theory” Alex says his voice low. “They seem to be under a different type of control,

they said they move efficiently and are clearly under the same leader. They think these are rogues

which have been under Charles leadership or that of his witch acquaintance for a long time, that’s how

they’ve been undetected.”

“I was going to say, surely my father would know about that many rogues gathering from his scouts” I

say quietly as I drop into a chair.

“Exactly” Alex says looking at me, “I called him immediately and he’s stressed. He had no idea and

says they can’t be wanderers. These have been in hiding waiting for their time to be used.”

“Like breeding them?” Laurence gapes as Jax stays still deep in thought.

“I think so” Alex says as he sits down beside me. “1300 rogues” he sighs.

“That’s a hell of a lot” I say.

“We have the rest of the pack” Jax says quietly.

“Yes but we don’t want them all to fight if we can avoid it do we” I say. “I should have commanded that

f*****g rogue.”

“No we

don’t” he sighs. “f*****g hell it makes sense why they chose to come here with those numbers. That

rogue might not even have been aware Nova don’t beat yourself up about it.”

“What the f**k are we going to do?” Laurence asks worriedly.

“Speak to Esmerelda to begin, it’s just an idea but perhaps if we can kill the witch. using dark magic

then it may release some control over the rogues if they are influenced by him. I suspect they won’t be

trained as well as us and will be there for numbers only, surely we would be aware of rogue numbers

that size training at some point” I begin saving. “On average I’d say our skilled warriors could easily

2 rogues at one time, so we need to be able to break up their numbers if they attack

in one go. Which i believe they would to try and overwhelm us. It’s not common

practise but I know the warriors from the white mountain pack are trained in archery as I trained them

myself. It would be good to have them on a line of defence from the back to disrupt the attack. We also

need to have the warriors spread out at different points to be able to fight from different angles.”

“We have some warriors trained in archery, Florence ran the training” Jax adds in.

“That’s my girl” I say with pride remembering when I used to teach them both archery when they were

younger. “So on average I’m going to hazard a guess at 3 rogues to one warrior at this point. Although

it could be hard I think if handled right we can manage it.”

“How about we have areas ready to be set alight to break up their attack, if we can get the archers to

get the flames going it will slow them down. That way we might not have to be on the defensive and we

can upset their plan by attacking” Ajax suggests. “Old school I know but it could work.”

“It definitely could, Theo can you please organise that later. Remember what I told you yes?” I say

looking at him as he nods determinedly.

“You told him already?” Alex asks confused.

“No” Theo says. “She trained Flo and I when we were younger. We can do archery, sword fighting, use

a gun and knife fight never mind martial arts and normal sparring.”

“Because of Nova..” Alex says in disbelief.

“Yes” Theo says simply before turning back to me.

“Guns” Jax says. “Not our normal weapon of choice but they could be useful.”

“I’d have people stationed from high with an easy view of the incoming rogues so they can shoot before

the rogues are engaged with our warriors” I put forward.

“I can organise that” Laurence says with determination.

*So we can assume they will be attacking from the eastern border if they have taken the Moonbeam

Pack” Jax says looking at the map in front of him.

“It was the eastern side of the Pack house in the vision” I confirm.

“So we can focus our warriors there” Jax says calmly. “However we can have our reserves stationed

around the pack house and tree line to scout the areas.”

“Definitely” I agree. “The witches are going to be the biggest problem. We need to speak to Esmerelda

as soon as possible. Has anyone heard how many my dad is bringing?”

“I’ll call him” Laurence says grabbing the mobile from the table and moving to the window.

“Would there be any way the rogues from your father’s pack could infiltrate the attack on us and attack

from within?” Alex asks me.

Pausing i think through his suggestion, “on paper it may work, but I don’t know until meeting them and Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

speaking to my father. It’s definitely something to consider though” I tell him.

“Ok, let’s remember to mention it. I’m going to wake Esmerelda. Wish me luck, she’s a right grumpy

b***h in the morning” he says with a grimace.

“Have fun” Jax says from where he’s sat down.

“I’m going to the training grounds after taking Alice upstairs, time to get ready” Theo says as he lifts a

still sleeping Alice into his arms easily. “I won’t say a word till you address them Alpha.”

“Thanks Theo” Jax says as we watch him follow Alex out.

“Do you think we can do this?” I ask him quietly.

“Yes” he says with a comforting smile thrown my way.

“How are you so sure?” I ask him.

“Because you are one hell of a woman, your father hasn’t survived this long with everything he’s had to

go through without being one hell of a man either. We have a pack who adores you and will help their

Luna to all ends. Plus together, we are a team…we’ve got this” he says to me squeezing my arms

reassuringly.

“I hope we have no other setbacks I sigh as I take a seat on his lap.

“Me too” he chuckles trying to relax me as I feel a rush of calm through the bond.

“Kingsley has 200 men with him, they are those he trusts the most and will be here by this evening” I

hear Laurence pipe up.

“200? That’s brilliant” I hear Jax exclaim as he makes a note on the map in front of us.

“It’s the witches that are causing us issues” I sigh.

“It is” he says calmly as we hear the door open again to see Esmerelda stood there with Alex behind.

“She was on her way already” he says quietly.

“The witches will be dealt with” she says calmly. “I will handle those but be assured they will not be a

problem to you all.

“How?” Jax asks confused.

“From a surprise help” she says before leaving the office as quickly as she arrived.

“As helpful as ever Esmerelda” Alex calls out after her before slamming the door shut and turning to us

in frustration. “She is a great witch for our pack but man I wish she was clearer about what she meant.”

“Can we not just ask?” I say standing up to follow her.

“No” Alex say shaking his head. “She is a firm believer in not interrupting fate, she won’t say anything

unless it’s going to help us.”

“Well what the f**k did she mean?” Jax exclaims.

“She said this is the only way to us before didn’t she Jax?” I ask spinning to face him.

*She did” he confirms.

“And she sees multiple visions and outcomes, so I would take what she says and not push it. I think

she meant this way is the only way we can succeed that she has seen” I say quietly.

*f**k” he swears quietly as his eyes cloud with frustration. “We need to trust in fate.”

“Something we can’t see or understand” Alex says with disbelief.

“Yes” Jax says with a defeated sigh.

“A surprise help..” I muse thinking quietly as I look out the window lost in thought.
