Page 69 of A Chance at Redemption for the Alpha

“Marc?” Micah asks. “What’s wrong?”

My body feels tense, slowly, the cold on my arms spreads through my body like an invisible ice dragon keeps breathing down my neck. Amos stirs, and I suddenly know.

“We are being attacked,” I blurt out.

“What?” Micah gapes. “But we haven’t-“

“No time,” I blurt out. “It’s my gift. Get the children and omegas to safety.”

Micah nods, jumping up and rushing out of the office.Silas, attack, Northern borders,I link my mate.

Through the bond, I can feel Silas startling, but all I get is a firmGot you,like the professional he is.

The shiver I feel on my skin is becoming stronger, and it pushes me to act fast. Whoever it is, they are getting closer. I link my warriors while rushing outside. We are a small pack, but the good thing about giving disgraced shifters a chance is that many of them used to be warriors and are eager to prove themselves. The moment I can feel the presence of my fellow warriors, I shift to Amos’ form.

Can you sense them already?

The icy cold around us is replaced by a burning fire of anger all of a sudden.Yes,Amos growls.Let’s get these fuckers!

*SILAS*

Idon’t know if it’s pent-up energy or just too much having been on Marcellus’ mind recently, things he needs to shake off, because my beloved runs so fast, none of the other wolves can keep up with him. A new sense of pride fills me, seeing him so strong and dedicated. He never wanted to become an alpha, claiming he would just be one of the pack members, but he has become their alpha so easily. They chose him, and obviously, he came around and accepted the honor and challenge.

It’s in his nature to lead.

Silas,Alex reaches out to me. As vampires, we don’t have a mind link, but my siblings and I are from the first line of vampires, which comes with its ups and downs. The ups beingthat we share a mental connection that others don’t.I don’t feel any attackers.

Me neither.

How come we are chasing outside like maniacs then?

Alex has never been one to mask his words. He comes off as arrogant and aloof sometimes, but he is also very loyal. He can dish it out but also take it, without being offended.Marcellus has a gift,I explain.He can sense intruders with bad intentions.

Nice. Wish we’d have that.

We do,I point out.

Yes, but not to that extent.

Just say it outright, that my beloved is awesome.

Alex smirks.So, he is your beloved now?

I guess there is no avoiding it anymore. I found myself wanting to kill a girl who was ogling him when we went shopping the last time.

Yes, that’s when you know it’s about time.

A loud growl erupts through the forest and pulls me out of my chat with Alex. Talk about timing. I pick up my pace and dash forward, using my own gifts to reach Marcellus as quickly as possible. I come right in time as a rogue is trying to claw at one of our warrior’s backs. I kick the creature off him.

“Impertinent fools,” I snarl while jumping to Marcellus’ side to help him fend off the majority of the attack.

Lucian, as my right hand, is already here, much to my relief. I can see more of our wolves and vampire warriors pouring in, Benjamin within them. I am not sure what he and Marcellus actually talked about, but it seems to have given him a new boost of confidence, because he charges right at a rogue who begins to make his way to the pack ground.

“I thought your pack was located in a very peaceful region!” Alex calls out towards me.
