Chapter 43: Executing the Plan
Samara
Over the
e next two weeks, Ayla and I push hard to get stronger and smarter in our fighting strategy. The pack is stronger since my Luna ceremony. All of us can feel it and the energy in the air as we prepare for war is so thick you can almost taste
it on your tongue.
While Roman says that my blood strengthened the pack, I feel stronger since my Luna ceremony as well. Accepting him freely, drinking his blood as I said the words to accept him as my mate and Alpha has made me stronger. Feeling my mate’s increased strength and energy buzzing through our bond is also making me feel stronger. It’s like our energy feeds off the other’s but only intensifies rather than burning out
At night, I can’t get enough of my mate. After spending most of the day sparring in one form or another, you’d think that I’d be exhausted, but I’m not. After dinner, we spend time talking war strategy with Alpha Sterling. Beta Austin, and Gamına Adrian. Then Ayla and Pierce ran together, strengthening their bond as Pierce hunts and mates with Ayla. When we return to our room, Roman and I rarely make it to the bed, usually starting our own love–making in the shower.
Every time we’re together, our bond strengthens. Every orgasm that we give each other feels like our minds and souls connect just as much as our bodies are. The man promised me that I wouldn’t be able to get enough of him back before I knew what he meant. But now I know that he was right and when I told him that, he just laughed and showed me again why I can’t get enough of him.
Three days after my Luna ceremony, Alpha Sterling added Austin to my attack. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s the next strongest in the pack or if it’s because he has the most control, but either way, going against Roman and Austin at the same time was tough, but Ayla and I were tougher.
Something instinctual started to awaken inside her and the more Roman and Alpha Sterling push us, the more fighting
comes naturally.
A week after my Luna ceremony, Roman stepped out and put Aiden, Adrian and two other warriors against me. I took them
down.
The next day he added a third warrior and over the past week, he’s continued to add a warrior a day until Ayla and I can stand our ground against ten warriors at once.
At the end of the second week after my Luna ceremony, Alpha Sterling looks from me to Roman “It’s time.”
Roman looks at me and nods. “I agree. I think you’re ready, Samara What do you and Ayla think?”
“Ayla?” I ask her.
I’m confident that I’m ready,‘ she says. So am I and that’s what I tell him
“We have our plan. We’ve poked every possible hole that any of us can think of through it and come up with solutions. It’s time to execute our plan,” he says.
Roman pulls out his phone, tugging me against him and kissing the side of my head while it rings.
“Roman! What a surprise! I was starting to make plans for a surprise visit,” Sawyer says on the other end of the phone.
“I’ve been busy and I’m sure you have been as well.”
“Newborn is synonymous with lack of sleep. How is your mate?” he asks.
“Marked and mated,” Roman says, and even though he’s talking to Sawyer, I can hear the pride in his voice and feel it in our bond.
“Congratulations! So when do I get to meet her?”

“That’s why I’m calling. Since you have a new baby, I thought I’d bring my new mate to visit.”
I have to hand it to Roman, he’s very convincing. I can feel the fury inside of him, but he isn’t letting any of that show in his
Voice.
“Althea will be thrilled. What’s your mate’s name? You said she gave you a fake name when you first met her.”
“She did, but I’ll wait to give you her name until we do introductions.”
“You always were a strange one, Roman,” he says and thear him press the phone to his chest as his voice rumbles to someone in the background, probably Althea
When he comes back, I know I was right.
“How about this weekend? That will give us some time to get a room set up for you and your mate. Plan to spend the entire weekend. I haven’t seen you in a long time and I’d like to get to know your mate. I know Althea will.”
“My mate and I are looking forward to it,” Roman says and I know it’s only my touch that keeps him from growling his response. “We’ll see you Friday night‘
“Sounds good. See you then.”
When he hangs up, he looks at me. “Five days.”
I nod and we turn to Alpha Sterling. He is leading the warriors to Alpha Dylan’s pack. “T’ll take the warriors Thursday night. We’ll take out the sentinels first, then attack the pack and take Dylan hostage. Once we have the pack, I’ll call you and you can make your way to Sawyer’s pack.
Alpha Sterling looks at me. “Are you sure you’re ready for this, Samara?” he asks me.
Tve been waiting nine years to get revenge for my family. Sawyer deserves to die for what he did. As I told Roman, I want to vant to end this so we can start our life together and truly put this horrible event in the past.”
If I thought the energy in the pack was palpable before, after we announced our plan for the first wave to leave on Thursday. the energy doubles. The air around us feels thick and humid with it, like you can walk through it but it clings to your skin. Everyone in the pack chn feel it and sparring becomes much more intense. It isn’t until a fight breaks out that Ayla pushes forward and steps in.
Roman had already jumped into the fight to break it up, but Ayla wasn’t having it. She snarled angrily, her aura pushing out, instantly getting everyone’s attention
“We are not each other’s enemy here. Remember who your family is and who the real enemy is. We will not destroy ourselves from the inside while we prepare to take out the ones who betrayed us. Get control of your emotions. I expect every one of you to make me proud and to act like the pack members and family that I expect you to be, not like a bunch of pups who can’t control themselves,” she says.
After getting their attention, she didn’t snarl, she didn’t even growl. But she did express her disappointment in how our pack members were acting and that, more than anything, got them in line.
“You heard your Luna Stop disappointing her,” Roman says, walking over press a kiss to my lips before calling the two fighters over to talk to them.
After that, the excitement remained, but the tension in the air decreased significantly. By Thursday, everyone was ready.
It was late afternoon when Alpha Sterling and Gamma Adrian called the warriors together. We had all agreed that Beta Austin would remain behind to ensure the pack was safe along with a handful of strong warriors. Roman hand picked the group that we are taking with us and the rest are going to take out Alpha Dylan’s pack.
Thursday night was tense. I struggled to sleep as
as did everyone who remained in the pack as we waited for word from Alpha
Sterling that they had taken over Dylan’s pack

It was very early in the morning when the call finally came in. Since no one had been able to sleep, the few of us left in the pack were assembled in the dining hall Roman answered the phone, his eyes locking on mine. When he hung up, he looked

“It’s done Dad has Dylan in custody Those of you coming to Sawyer’s pack with us, we leave at noon”
It’s here. It’s finally time to get my revenge

Everything is about to start happening!
