The next few days fly by. Ira stayed in my pack, searching for Typhon. Quinton had agreed that I could bring him with me when we met to attack Alpha Emanuel’s pack.

It took him several days, but he found another den, a newer one. This one was in a completely different direction but still with a view of our pack lands. It was an old cave, but the smell of something rotten and the rodent carca*s*ses littering the entrance of the cave were a dead giveaway that he’d been there.

“How many other places do you have with a view of your pack lands?” He asked me after we went to see the latest den.

“Too many.” I replied, looking around. My pack lands are in a valley of sorts, nestled up against a mountainside. Anyone that is hiding in the mountains can see our packhouse and pack lands easily.

I’m not thrilled about Jara being away from me this weekend. It’s going to be hard not having her close. She had already asked me about sending Elijah back with her because it had been good for Layan, but now, I’m planning to send him back because I trust him with my mate more than anyone else in our pack. I know every member of our pack would die for her, but next to me, Elijah is the strongest member of our pack.

The alliance had decided to send additional reinforcements to Alpha Luke and Alpha Zaire’s packs. Those packs had the females that were taken from Gunnar’s group of allies. Because we weren’t sure if they knew Brynn was not currently in my pack and because of the continued threat of Typhon and finding the newest den, I didn’t send any reinforcements, instead sending my men to Alpha Davis’s pack, my warriors remaining on high alert.

we agreed on 250 warriors from all of the packs to go to Alpha Emanuel’s pack. We decided to send 50 ahead of the rest of us to stake out the pack lands and see if they could get eyes on any of the she-wolves in the pack. If we could get in and out without killing Emanuel’s pack members, that would be ideal. But, if they fight us, then we will kill them. As of the last report, no one has spotted any she-wolves. Since
