The Mystical Attraction of Alpha

Chapter 124 – Lydia Gives Advice

3rd Person

“Another rogue attack?” Lydia scoffed, circling the Prince as he studied his plans for the invasion, “haven’t you attempted enough to realize they aren’t going to work?”

“This one is different.” The Prince groused in reply. “I’m not just targeting Sinclair’s bitch or a few tourists. The entire pack will be in shambles and Dominic will be held responsible.”

A moment later the emergency sirens began blaring through the city, and the Prince surged to his feet, “What! No! How did he find out?”

Lydia swore under her breath, “because he keeps spies in the neutral territories, just like you do – just like all the Alpha’s do.” She promptly crossed the floor and snatched up the television remote, flipping to the news where an emergency bulletin was dominating the screen.

An anxious reporter read off a teleprompter, his voice full of urgency. “Moon Valley is facing imminent attack from rogue actors. Take shelter in your home or at your nearest designated safety point. Alpha Sinclair has ordered an immediate lockdown until the “all clear” chime can be rung. Pack enforcers are on their way to meet the threat and hopefully force back the rogues before they can breach the city, but extreme caution is advised for all citizens. The human mayor has been informed and is instituting a city shut down under the guise of a gas leak…”

The reporter carried on in the background as Lydia turned back to the Prince, annoyance dominating her features. “How much time is there before the attack?”

“They won’t reach the city for another three hours at least, if they make it into the territory at all.” The Prince explained, overflowing with agitated energy.

“Where are they striking?” Lydia pressed, her mind racing for a solution to this crisis.

“Their scouts have identified half a dozen stretches along the border with the least patrols and easiest access.” He shared, pressing a button on the underside of his desk to summon his beta.

Lydia gritted out. “They should

He paced back and forth, dragging his hands through his hair in frustration. “He’ll be out there fighting with them… the self-righteous bastard…” He mused after a moment. “I could send some of my own enforcers under the guise of helping fend off the attack.

The idea of his death made her wolf writhe inside her chest. Still, she might have gotten over that. She couldn’t get over the idiocy. “It will never work. Even if they were strong enough to overpower him, he’ll have an entire army at his back. Besides,” She pointed to the television, where the bulletin still flashed violently on the

Look at everything that has already happened.” Lydia gestured to the television again, as camera footage of Sinclair leading a charge of wolves to the border played across the screen, looking like scenes from some high-octane action movie.
