Chapter 87 : I Love You

I kept my men at the back of the group. I knew they were anxious to get into this but we still didn’t know what we were up against.

Chandler had told us that we were welcome at the temple but I didn’t believe it. Chandler would have set traps for us. Better to let the others feel those out. I wasn’t willing to risk my men until I had a better understanding of what Norwind was up to.

It seemed unlikely that they were going to let a large force sweep through their territory.

“Hey! You’re trespassing,” a Norwind warrior said, stepping out of the trees.

Behind him, several more warriors stood menacingly, the humans had their arms crossed, the wolves had their teeth bared, snarling.

“We’re here to rescue Mila Hathaway and we know you have her prisoner. We’re not leaving without her!” the Saboreef Alpha demanded.

“Alpha Chandler has a lot to answer for!”

“Alpha Chandler wants you all to leave our territory,” the Norwind warrior growled.

“Take them!” Eros ordered.

The makeshift army of packs swarmed into the trees.

My men stepped forward and I stopped them, holding out an arm.

“Not unless we are needed. This isn’t the real fight, it is just a diversion.”

“Fine,” Payne muttered.

He was antsy and chomping at the bit. We all were a little.

Eros and the packs quickly took out the small Norwind fleet. The wolves whimpered and ran off into the woods.

When they gathered together again they were high-fiving and cheering for each other.

I shook my head and sighed.

The group continued up the hill making so much noise as they continued to congratulate each other. It was absolutely ridiculous. I started to wonder how many of them had ever been in a serious conflict. Packs fought all the time but this… they should have known better.

Not too much farther up the hill there was a barrier. The packs slowed down, grumbling in annoyance.

“This is nothing, we’ll get it down,” Eros said.

“Mila is waiting for us!”

As a group, they started tearing down the barrier. Again, I kept my group back. I didn’t want them to waste their energy on these small traps and tricks.

The trees rang out with howls and another group of Norwind warriors moved in. The packs immediately turned around and defended themselves.

“Get out of our land!” the leader shouted.

“Not without Miss Mila,” Eros demanded.

Another skirmish broke out. Once again, the Norwind wolves turned tail and ran.
