Chapter 18 Roar
Morgan
When we reach the border, half the males and females with me have shifted, but Amra and I know it is best if no one sees our Lycan form at the moment, and I know I can handle most Wolves and Lycans in my Human form. What I didn’t expect to see was Kain, one of Jaylen’s team Captains, and I link Casimir to inform him of that fact.
I don’t get a chance to link him as the first thought hits me: “Soon she will be out of the way, and she doesn’t even know that Jaylen is
Mate.“I just stare at her as I step closer to the border, and in the meantime, I link
Casimir. I know she told them that I would be here, but how did she get in contact with Nigel?
I don’t even have to ask the question out loud when I hear his thoughts in my mind: “It was smart to keep my fated Mate around a little longer; once we have Morgan, I will reject her and forcefully mark Morgan.” Amra growls in my head, and I keep my eyes on Kala. “Does Commander Jaylen know that you are here, Captain Kaia?” I
ask her.
I use her title and name to make everyone understand that she is the one that sold me out, that she is the reason this attack is taking place. I ask Amra if what Kaia thought was the truth, and for a moment, she is quiet. It would explain why he is constantly sleeping in our bed, but why hasn’t he claimed us yet?” She answers my question with a question of her own.
I don’t take my eyes off Kaia, hoping that she will keep her train of thoughts going, and I might be able to get a few more pieces of information from her. “No one will ever tell her about how Lynah tricked his Father or how she gave Jaylen two Pups; not even Jaylen will tell her.” I nearly lose control to Amra when we hear those thoughts run through our head.
Amra is not angry at Jaylen but at Kaia for thinking he wouldn’t tell his Mate the truth. Amra thinks that Kaia hopes he will take her as a chosen Mate with us out of the way. I just don’t get the connection between this Lynah and Jaylen’s Father; maybe I should talk to King Damon about this or maybe confront Jaylen.
“Well, it looks like we have found the female we were looking for. Hello, Morgan, Nigel’s Father says–or at least I suspect that he is Nigel’s Father–but before I can say anything, one of Casimir’s Warriors steps. forward and tells him that he is no female. “I think he was talking about the Commander, Casimir’s Beta says with a smile on his face.
“Morgan, you better come with us willingly, or we will attack your Pack, Nigel says, and I just laugh at his words.
“No offense, Nigel, but there isn’t much up there in that head of yours, is there?” I ask, and I see anger flashing through his eyes. “My Pack isn’t here; it’s at the Academy. But then again, you never paid attention during any of your classes. If you get accepted into the King’s Army, you join the Royal Pack, and if it is there, you break the bond with your birth Pack.”
“Your Father says we outnumber them, but he feels it is better to hold them off until backup arrives,” Chaya says through the mind–link. I know it will take at least twenty more minutes before the first unit arrives, and I decide to taunt our opponent a little. Let’s see if I can rattle some cages.
“Kaia, why are you willing to toss away your career for a male that lies to you? Do you really think they are here to kill me?” I ask as I look at her. ‘Shadow Rock Pack is here to take me alive; dead, I am useless to them, and your Mate is well aware of that, aren’t you, Nigel?” Kaia snaps her head towards Nigel, but before. she can say anything, his Father has slit her throat with his claw.

your silly quest, I will show you who and what I am, Shithat, I growl.

“What are you hoping for, Nigel Task. The gift of hearing isn’t that big of a deal; it can give you an advantage, but that is about it.” Nigel stares at me, and I can feel two of Casimir’s Warriors stepping closer to me. “The gift of sense is a bit better because it can tell me whether you outnumber us or not. The gift of hearing thoughts is a neat one, it can give you insight into a situation.
However, I think the gift of perception is the best one. A bit overrated if you ask me because sometimes i gives you more questions than answers. So tell me, Nigel, which one is your Father hoping for?” I ask hirm, and I can tell that he is linking his Father.
I warn everyone to stay alert, that I expect them to attack any minute, and I wasn’t mistaken. The moment I have warned the others, Nigel lunges towards me, but he doesn’t get far as two Warriors step in front of me and rip him to shreds before he has fully shifted into his Wolf
I look at Nigel’s Father as he stares at his Son’s shredded body, and I can see him debating with his Wolf. I think I have a pretty good idea what they are arguing about, and I won’t allow him to forcefully mark me anymore than I would have allowed Nigel. I will wait for my fated Mate as long as it takes.
“Morgan, I don’t like repeating myself. Make a choice,” He says, and I look him up and down before I shake my head. “No, thanks. I’ll wait for my fated Mate,” I answer him, and I hear Landon chuckle next to me. Nigel’s Father is better at controlling his anger, and I doubt he will make a rash move like Nigel did; he will wait for what he thinks is the right time to strike.
“Commander Morgan, we are only minutes away. They will probably attack when we show up behind them; be prepared, “I hear our backup say in my head, and I link Chaya to inform my Father. I know everyone in the King’s Army has heard it, and moments later, I can see that Dad has informed his Warriors about the arrival of our backup.
“Tell me something, Alpha. Nigel always complained about your lack of interest in him, of keeping him out of Pack business. Why did you finally tell him about my ancestor?” I ask him; I really want to know the answer, and I think Dad would like to know it as well.
“I didn’t. My oldest Son was stupid enough to let it slip a few weeks ago, and Nigel kept asking questions about it. When I finally got fed up with his nagging. I told him the story every Alpha heir hears when they turn eighteen; he was never meant to know about it, and if his Brother hadn’t let it slip, he never would
Looking back, I should thank my oldest Son because when I showed Nigel the picture we have, he whispered your name. He told me everything he knew about you, and with his Mate still at the Academy, we knew where you were going. I knew it would be a matter of time before your Father would tell you the truth, but finding out you have known all along surprised me. He answers my question.
At that moment, I sense our backup arriving, but I don’t let it show as I inform the others through the mind–link, and in mere seconds, all of them take a fighting stance to protect the Pack. Nigel’s Father starts laughing when he sees it happen. “You really think you stand a chance against us? We have been training our entire lives for this day, and I will get what I am after, He says.
“Alpha, you do understand that no matter what the outcome is today, your Pack will be annihilated,” I say. and I see a strange look on his face. “Oops, didn’t Captain Kata tell you everything, or maybe it was Nigel that kept it to himself,” And the strange look on his face tells me he still hasn’t figured it out.
I turn to Casimir’s Beta as I ask, “He doesn’t know that you are Prince Casimir’s Beta? He doesn’t know that King Damon is here as well, and he just signed the death warrants of all of his Pack–members.” I hear Nigel’s

I work in unison with the Warriors around me; we strike at every Wolf that comes our way and help each other to end them. A Wolf gets punched in the face by Landon, and as he steps back, he comes into my line of sight; I slash his throat with my claw before he sees it coming.
Landon returns the favor when I punch a Wolf in the face, and after a few minutes, Nigel’s Father orders them to shift. Not expecting him to give that order, I feel a claw run down my arm, and I scream out in pain. Amra has had enough of it, and she forces me to shift, ready to rip each of them to shreds.
At the sight of Amra, our attackers take a step back, but their Alpha orders them to capture me alive, and Amra gives such a menacing roar that the Wolves closest to us fall to their knees. None of them try to get up as Amra stalks towards their Alpha, but he turns to run away from her, and Lactually laugh my ass off in her head
He can’t outrum us; not only is Amra faster than him, but there is also a unit blocking his escape route, and Amra slashes her claw down his back. He crumbles to the ground, screaming out in pain. Amra didn’t wound him fatally, but severely enough to make sure he isn’t going anywhere.
She makes him scream out in pain again as she places her paw on his back, pushing him face down onto the ground, and she lowers her head to release a mighty roar next to his car.
