I glanced behind her and saw that she was alone.

“I was so worried that something happened,” she said. “All the Alphas just ran out screaming something about a rogue attack at the border.”

I opened the door a bit more and stepped aside so she could walk in.

“Where are the other Lunas?” I asked as I closed the door.

I heard a loud thump behind me. I turned around in time to see Ali falling to the floor. I didn’t have time to react before I felt something pinch my neck and everything went dark.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT – Something Isn’t Right

Dimitri’s POV

I sank my canines into another rogue’s neck, biting through all the flesh and bone. His body went limp in my mouth. I grabbed him and tossed him to the side.

I looked around me and saw my warriors and my guests fighting with the rogues. We were winning, but something about all this didn’t feel right. I had a bad feeling in my stomach ever since Will and I arrived at the border. I thought it was because I had to leave Maddie, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that wasn’t the reason.

Will?I mind-linked him as I sank my canines into another one of the rogues coming at me.

Yes?He responded, panting a little.

Something isn’t right.I mumbled.Look at how they are behaving.

A rogue came at me. He barely attacked even though he was a big wolf and he could have done some damage. He snapped his canines at me, missing my arm for only an inch. But it seemed like it was on purpose. He could have hurt me if he wanted to.

What the fuck was going on?

What are you talking about?Will asked.

I killed the rogue that was attacking me and I looked around until I saw Will. He was fighting with one of the rogues, but the rogue wasn’t causing nearly as much damage as he could have.

Look at the way he is fighting, Will.I said as I started moving toward him.He is only taunting you. He isn’t attacking with full force.

Will glanced at me before he finished killing the rogue.

My stomach twisted and turned. Something wasn’t fucking right.

Did anyone enter the packhouse?I mind-linked the warriors I left to guard the woman and children.

I told them not to let anyone other than women and children in. I made sure that every fucking Alpha was out there fighting. I wasn’t going to let anyone stay behind. I wasn’t going to risk anyone getting to Maddie while I was gone.

One of the biggest flaws of my packhouse was the absence of a safe room in case of an attack. My grandfather never built one. He believed that the war was over. He believed that we wouldn’t have to hide from anyone anymore. My father thought about building it when the number of rogues started growing, but he gave up on the idea after a while. The rogues never attacked and my father was proud of the peace he kept after his father passed away. As far as I knew, none of the packs in my Kingdom had safe rooms anymore.

I should have fucking known better. I should have built one as soon as I became the King.

But I had confidence in my warriors. They wouldn’t let anyone get inside.

No, Alpha.One of the warriors responded.Everything is okay here.

A small wave of relief washed over me.

What about Kendrick or any members of the council?I asked, making my way to Will.Did they come there?

No, Alpha.The warrior responded.We haven’t seen them.

I growled as another rogue jumped at me. I killed him with one swipe of my paw. I started running faster. I needed to get to Will.

I want to go back, Will.I told him.Our warriors can handle this. There aren’t many left.
