Page 138 of The Alpha Enforcer and His Dancing Warrior Vol. 2 (Ribbon #10)
Alexander listened to Melanie talk over the watches on our side.
Mason was upset, but he could get in fucking line.
He was going to kill people while I was stuck out here.
Lexi announced, “Heath texted me. There were a few Coven members who tried to get through on their side, but he got them. A few are still inside, but they have seven of them.”
Dalton and I nodded to each other knowing they were ours. We watched Addison, Sierra, and Abigail carry Paige inside the pack house. Emmett said, “I told the women to let her in the safe room, Dalton.” I couldn’t help but be jealous.
Dylan snorted, “Now the Moody Triplet is jealous. His mate is commanding a different pack and she’s in the thick of the fight. Can we talk about how ALL Alpha Speedy Holf’s Warriors are just listening to her? Because I did not hear even one growl.” I sighed.
Dylan continued, “Not one ‘hey, I got this lady.’ Because that’s impressive since I see Killian Farmer in there who should be in charge if we were picking people given who is outside the dome. I’ve never had another group of Warriors just listen to me. I even sang for some.”
He turned dramatically to my dad, “Say Saint God Alpha Prick, that sounds like a power of yours. You’ve commanded other packs before, right?” My dad rolled his eyes but answered, “Not without their Alpha there, unless I was taking over a pack.”
Dylan snorted, “OH MY GOD! This is beautiful. Plus, she’s quite the strategist. Does anyone else think she needs to start singing The Chain by Fleetwood Mac?
I do.” Emmett asked, “Does anyone want to tell me how Melanie knows who Killian is on sight? Because I was under the impression she hadn’t met people from my pack, but her statements make me think otherwise. ” No one said anything.
Cayden eventually answered, “She does that. Melanie just knows who people are. She knew who I was the first time we met without me telling her.” Emmett asked, “Are we not curious about that? Because that’s weird.” I snarled, “No, we are not.” Emmett raised an eyebrow, “Alright.”
Drake said, “We do teach our pups to know people in the Alpha line.” Emmet said, “Which would be me and my family, NOT Killian.” Drake reasoned, “Killian has Alpha blood and Melanie has always been an overachiever.” Sam agreed, “That’s true and she wanted to meet everyone.”
I changed the subject, “Where’s Alexandria?” Emmett sighed in relief, “Her and Emma are actually shopping in your territory. They are safe with some of my Warriors.” My dad linked me, “This is a pretty good strategy Melanie is implementing.” I nodded.
Dylan snorted, “A circle? So simple yet brilliant.” I said, “She’s been a Female Lead Warrior of a pack since she was sixteen.
A pack she's basically been leading herself for four years.” Dylan nodded, “Wiiiitthhhhhh her counterpart. Those poor non-Alpha blood wolves running packs. At least she had Beta blood. Poor Lead Warrior Buck has some Gamma blood in his line, but mostly Warrior. The poor man needed our help before MelAshley turned sixteen. Though he got promotion. So he’s Gamma Buck now. ”
Oden said, “That’s true. Buck was likely keeping that pack going all those years.
” I didn’t currently care about that or Buck’s promotion to Gamma.
Dylan continued, “To your point Moody Triplet, MelAshley did come up with several plans all on her own. Because I think we’ve established the man named Edward parading as her Alpha, when it wasn’t actually him, but was actually Alpha Peter followed by his sons, doesn’t do anything Alpha like. ” Dylan munched on his popcorn.
He added, “So, Edward clearly wasn’t giving out battle plans for MelAshley or poor Bucky Buckaroo to follow. Can’t everyone just see MelAshley telling Edward his plan was cute and to shut up while she figured out a better one? Because I can.”
Micah snorted, “That’s not exactly how she’s said it before.” Dylan squealed, “Spill the beans, Micah!” My mom frowned saying, “He doesn’t have any fucking beans. He has inside information.” Dylan smirked agreeing, “Right you are, my goddess. Go on Micah, hit us with the deets. ”
Micah snorted, “One time she told him to go tuck his tail in his office because his idea was crap and the adults were talking about what to do.” Dylan squealed, “I LOVE HER!” Tristan asked, “My sister called an Alpha’s idea crap to his face?” Micah answered, “Yes.”
Jason asked, “And what did Edward do in return?” Micah replied, “Went to his office.” Drake questioned, “He didn’t growl at her?” Micah said, “Nope. He just sighed according to Caine, and I watched it later. Edward pursed his lips. No one in the pack growled, including his pack leadership.”
Peter said, “You are joking. His wolf didn’t even growl?
” Why were we talking about this? Oden grumbled, “I don’t know.
” Dad said, “Going off of Theo’s reports their wolves never growled at her.
He suspected it was because they respected her after she beat them in the fight.
Now, I think it’s because they were grateful that she was protecting the pack they were meant to be defending. ”
Emmett growled, “Why are they holding in the line? They need to attack.” My dad disagreed, “No, they don't. They are letting the rogues wear themselves out on the run to them.” Uncle Jackson laughed, “Ok. Now where have I seen that? I do believe you put out strategies in a paper to the Werewolf community from the Council, big brother. This strategy is one of yours.”
Dylan snorted, “Of course MelAshley is somehow your protégé without you knowing, SGAP. It’s why we call you SGAP.
” My dad agreed, “It is one of mine, with improvements. The formation she has is better than mine, unless someone breaks the circle. If Melanie added a few wolves inside the circle, it would bolster that.”
Cayden interjected, “She usually does. Melanie has people assigned though. She’s kind of commanding on the fly right now though.” Emmett added, “And as Dylan pointed out everyone is just listening to her. They don’t even know Melanie.”
Drake said, “She’s my daughter and Alexander’s mate.
If you were a Warrior, I’d think you would listen to her because of whose mate she is.
Not doing so seems like a bad idea.” Tristan snorted, “No joke.” Emmett nodded acknowledging, “Fair enough.” Oden growled, “It is because I would TEAR THEM TO PIECES if they didn’t. She’s right anyway.”
I felt nothing but relief when Melanie was thrown a bullet proof vest to put on. I said, “Thank god for that company and those vests we all bought. I’m throwing more money at them when this is over.” Several people inclined their heads at me.
Once the rogues had done all the work running to Melanie’s circle, they were gassed. The attack went exactly how Melanie wanted when the pack jumped in with her friends to attack. Jason asked, “Is it me, or are the rogues avoiding Melanie?”
Dylan snorted, “Hey, even rogues have their moments of clarity. I would avoid her like the plague if were on the opposite sides. Though I am smarter than most. There you go Jase, a dumb rogue has been killed in three seconds by MelAshley in human form. Who needs a wolf? Not MelAshley.”
Cayden snorted, “I’ve said something similar.
” Drake growled at them saying, “She’s always had a wolf!
” My dad said, “But she didn’t know that and had to train like the wolf less and work to subdue in human form.
It’s why we train pups even though they can’t shift.
” He was right, but it still grated Melanie couldn’t shift with them when she should be able to.
TJ stiffened. I heard someone running towards us faster than any wolf could. I groaned, “Tell me that’s not who I think it is.” I heard someone trip. A man yelled, “GOTCHA, YOU LITTLE brAT!” Allison screamed.
Chase snarled, “WHAT IS SHE DOING OUT OF THE SAFE ROOM?!” Emmett ground out, “The Warlocks opened the safe room in the house. We have people down inside. They tried to stop them from taking her, but Allison ran away.”
Melanie gave orders to stay put. Oden said, “I mean this is clearly a distraction.” I knew that.
Emmett snarled, “THE FUCK THEY WILL!” EJ cleared his throat and pointed as Melanie took off while Caine and Dax covered her part in the circle.
Yellow Hills wolves relaxed the second she took off.
They all accepted she was coming to save Allison.
TJ snarled at the men who came into view with his mate. My youngest brother ordered, “LET HER GO NOW!” Allison cried out to him. My heart jolted in my chest. How many times did my mate call out for me and I wasn’t there? I knew of at least twice because of Robert. It would be more though .
Gage linked, “Cut it the fuck out.” I asked, “What?” He answered, “The whole you weren’t there when Melanie asked for you.” I replied, “I should’ve been.” Gage said, “And that sucks, but you had no way of knowing.” I didn’t like that my Gamma was right.
The Warlock laughed at my little brother before he said, “And let our leverage go? Well, I just don’t think I’ll do that.
” My mom was holding onto TJ, but his eyes were locked with Allison’s.
I raised an eyebrow when I heard Melanie jumping in the trees.
She was pretty quiet, but my hearing was great.
Oden snorted, “Freya is not happy about them being in the trees.” Julian linked me, “So, your mate is a squirrel.” I turned and gave him a look before checking the trees to find my mate. Melanie fired an arrow at the man holding Allison.
Said man let go of my little brother’s mate, and Melanie then instructed Allison to run to Lexi’s Fairy house.
Emmett said, “I still want to know how she can see that house.” Yeah well, I’d wanted to know longer.
Oden snorted, “He wouldn’t believe me if I told him the answer.
” I shot back, “I would.” My wolf chuckled.
