Chapter 91
25 Best and Worst Day
Eli POV
I’m in my office going over paperwork when I get a link from Micah and Mason. “We need you to come to the eastern border now.” I don’t waste time asking what the hell is going on. I rush down the stairs and out of the pack house. I shift into Silas and we run as fast as we can until the warriors come into sight. As soon as we near the border, the scent of blood and rotting flesh invades our nostrils. Silas growls and I approach my men. I shift and join the others. Lying on the ground is the body of what I assume is a rogue. He is unrecognizable and he has a note stapled to his chest. I reach down and pull the note off. As I read I’m so angry I can’t even see straight. I growl and turn toward my men. “I want triple patrols now.” My men scatter and only Micah and Mason remain. “What the hell does it say, Eli,” Mason asks. I shove the note toward him.

same fate as this worthless rogue. I want your rogue Luna and her ba**ard brother or I will make sure the Nightfire pack no longer exists. I know you’re thinking about how strong you and your witch friends are, but make no mistake, I am stronger. I have an army of warlocks at my command. Are you really willing to sacrifice your family and pack for those two worthless mutts?

fight and die if we have to in order to keep Clara and your pup safe”, Mason says. I figured that ba**ard Grant would be a problem, but who the hell is this ba**ard? Why does he want my mate and Cayden? I will die before anyone touches her or my pack. “Eli, talk to us,” Micah says. “I know you both will. We need to figure out exactly who Ocatavious is and what the f**k he has to do with my mate? I need you both to put a protection spell on Cayden and Clara please.” “Of course we will. Are you going to let Clara and Cayden know what’s going on?” I growl “Clara is due any day.
and I turn shifting into Silas. “We will protect her, Eli”, Silas says as we run. This is supposed to be one of the best days of my life. My beautiful mate is going to make me a father, but instead I can’t push thoughts of that letter from my mind. I reach the pack house and rush up the stairs to our floor. Clara is in the tub and she is rubbing circles on her belly. I can see the pain on her face. “Clara, what are you doing? We need to get you to the hospital?” “I linked the doctor and she is on her way. I want to do a water birth.” “Why didn’t you mention this earlier?” “I wasn’t sure what I wanted but I’ve done a lot of research and this is what I want. Are you alright with that Eli?” “Did the doctor say
“Eli, what happened” she asks and I stiffen. “I can feel your fear and anger through our bond now tell me what happened.” “Clara, I want you to focus on you and our pup.” She shoots me a glare and begins to pant again. “Eli Daniel Thomas, you tell me what the hell happened now.” “Do you know anyone named Octavious?” She scrunches her nose. “No, I’ve never heard that name before.” I explain what we found and the letter. I see fear and sadness on her face. “I promise you Clara I will protect you, Cayden, and our pup.” She lays her hand on my cheek. “I have no doubt of that, but what about the pack members that are going to be hurt because of me.” I growl
alright. I was just about to link them.” My mother hugs me “Eli, she will do fine. She is strong.” “I know she is. I just hate to see her in pain.” Evelyn smiles and hugs me before they both head into the bathroom. After the doctor has everything set up, our mothers head out to wait in our bedroom. Clara and I want to do this together, just the two of us. “Alright Luna, I’m going to check to see how dilated you are.” She smiles “you’re moving along nicely. You’re six centimeters and if it keeps moving this fast we will have a
