Chapter 164
We sat in her room, each one of us doing his own thing. Max was on his laptop getting as much information as he could. Brett was beside me, writing down all he knew about plans and tactics. And I was researching pack alliances and debating which packs we could rely on. The silence was tense and has been for the last two days. Ever since we watched the videos it was impossible to take us out of the room.
what are you?
a monster
I shivered from the memory and tried to shake it off. Ever since I watched the video everyone was waiting for me to snap, to let my wolf loose. But i didn’t, I just silently left the room and have spent the time since in Celena’s room, waiting for her to wake up. she would have a few fits of pain every once in a while that broke my heart. But mostly she was silent, barely moving.
“you said you had a hunter on the inside who helped you?” Max suddenly broke the silence, staring at Brett. Their relationship was tense, they barely said a few words to each other. Max had a hatred for hunters that
kept him from being anything but civil to one another.
“yeah, my uncle. His name is Dan, I don’t know where he is at the moment. Why?”
“Just saw his profile on here. They know he had a mate, he was questioned for a while and suspected but he ‘proved his loyalty”.” Max said and looked up at Brett. “My guess is with the escape of Natalie”
“Celena”
“Natalie” Max glared at Brett “with the escape of Natalie, he’s probably a suspect again. I wouldn’t count on him being alive to help us”
Brett’s jaw clenched and he took a deep breath “I trust my uncle.” he said “he’ll get out of this alive”
“guys” a voice called from the door and Nate walked in and smiled at us “Ethan wants to talk to you guys”
I nodded and got up, the others behind me as we made out way to the living room where all the others were. We sat down and Ethan looked around before speaking.
“I’m going to make the announcement to the pack soon and take their reaction into consideration before making a decision but” he said as he looked around “from the data we got from Brett’s information, Max’s hacking, and research from us, we managed to get enough evidence to assume that they have several of our kind taken. And the fact that they are taken as children and experimented on” his eyes hardened as he glanced at me but i didn’t budge, my facial expression showing none of the emotions the reminder of what happened to my mate gave me. “means that they’re planning something, so we hit them first. This is going to be a big battle.” he looked at Lily’s direction “would you like to explain the rest?”
Lily nodded and stood up “you know what this means guys. Extra training sessions for anyone who wants to fight with us, or stay here and defend the pack house. This isn’t forced on anyone, of course.” she said “Ren and Miranda are also going to give basic first aid lessons in case of injuries.”
“What about the suggestion I made? Are we going to hire a witch?”
“I got recommendations when I asked but I refused them all except one. She’s coming here in the next few days so we could talk to her, it’s not official yet.” she looked at everyone “And finally, nearby packs are going

to help, from what information got we were able to point out the general location of the hunters base. So we asked our allied packs that surround that area to help and they’ll launch an attack at out signal, we’re keeping communication with them.”
“And finally” Lily said “A pack that’s not surrounding the base is going to come and stay with us, they agreed to help us with this war considering hunters have been provoking them for a while now.”
“I’m surprised an alpha agreed to come stay with another pack for a while” Xavier said “Who is it? Someone we’re friends with definitely”
“Alpha Kyle Blake, of course” she said with a smile. I’m actually excited to see him, we visited him not to long ago but I didn’t get to talk to him or his brother, Logan on any other topic besides pack business and I barely even got to meet his mate.”
“Kyle is cool. He’s a good alpha, heard he dealt with wolf threat to his pack a long time ago” Adrian said. “something to do with his mate”
“best not mention that infront of him” Lily said “it was a hard time on both of them. Anyway, that’s all the
news. I’m still working on things to help us during the fight, should be done in the next couple of days…”
“No bullets” the twins chorused, looking seriously at Lily, everyone else nodded gravely including me.
“No bullets, I promise. Nothing harmful just…obstacles maybe. I’m not sure yet.” she said “And finally, all
children and people who can’t or do not want to a participate in this are to be taken to be taken to the safe
houses, with guards of course.”
“Do we have enough wolves for this?”
“between our pack and Kyle’s? Yes we do. Taking into account the wolves who’ll meet us at the base to fight, we’ll calculate our numbers. Anymore questions?”
Silence filled the room “Great, then just like Ethan said. The announcement will be made to the pack
tomorrow. Kyle’s pack will be in contact as to when they will be coming and so will the witch. Training for the
battle starts tomorrow night. That’s all for today”
