Chapter 9

Darius’ wolf grumbled then settled, pleased with their displays of submission. His human side relaxed as well. He stepped forward and rested his hand on the side of Jennalynn’s exposed neck. “You are forgiven.”

He nodded to the rest of them as he walked through them toward the table. Even Killion and Cael were on their knees. He touched each of their necks as he passed them.

After he’d walked through the entire group he stood at the table gazing at the maps. Circles large and small had been drawn in different places on top of the woods outside the Holding. “Report.”

His council got to their feet, Killion coming forward to stand beside him. Already, Darius could feel the magical bonds between them healing and strengthening. He hadn’t even realized they’d been damaged until now.

Killion pointed at three large circles on the map. “These are the Humans First encampments.” He poked at the smaller circles surrounding them. “These are our fighters.”

“How many in each circle?”

“The Humans Firsters have about a hundred in each spot. We figure they thought they were being stealthy by bringing in small numbers to start off with. Our fighters are in bands of five each. As far as we can determine, the Humans Firsters suspect we’re in their area but haven’t pinpointed our warriors’ locations.”

As Killion continued to talk about how many warriors they’d sent out and how far they were outnumbered, Darius’ mind drifted. Knowing for sure that he could keep Aislinn–that he had to keep Aislinn–he wanted nothing more than to go to her and make her his for good.

He pushed his thoughts back to the woods. “If they’ve got two hundred soldiers on us, we need to send out more. Let’s stop worrying about being stealthy. They’re in our woods. I think a show of force is in order here.”

With a slash of his finger across the map, Darius said, “Five hundred of our warriors will exit through the back gate under cover of night and infiltrate the woods, meeting up with the hundred who are already there. Surround the Humans Firsters, and do it in an obvious but not overly aggressive way.”

“Obvious but not overly aggressive?” Jennalynn said. “How do we accomplish that?”

“Surround them closely enough that they’re aware of us but not so far that we cross their perimeters. Carry our guns but don’t point or shoot unless shot upon. Make noise so it’s clear we’re there but don’t engage them directly.” Darius tapped the map. “They’ll get estimates of how many of us there are soon enough. And when they realize they’re penned in and at our mercy, they’ll be willing to negotiate again.”

“Or die,” Cael said.

“If it comes to that.” Darius hoped it wouldn’t come to that, but if the Humans Firsters didn’t back down, there’d be no other choice. If it was blood they wanted, he’d give them blood.

If Aislinn was going to escape, she needed to know how to get out of the castle. As Zack escorted her to the library, she kept a close eye on every hallway they passed and every room she could see into.
