Chapter 29

Tristan

Outside the alpha’s manor, we find a flurry of activity already. From the youngest of our members to the elderly, wolves are coming and going with a sense of urgency in their step. Teenagers who are too young to fight were tasked with carrying boxes and materials to be used to barricade doors and windows. It seems someone has taken the reins of things. For a moment, I think perhaps Dante or Sam have returned, but I soon discover that’s not the case.

Folks slow down when they see Mom next to me, and some even drop their gazes to the ground as if they have something to hide. Damn it. I hope the topic of my conversation with the enforcers hasn’t spread throughout the compound. Slowing down my pace, I let Mom take the lead. There can’t be any doubt in their minds that she is the alpha. She strides across the quad fast, heading toward the mess hall.

Seth is in front of the building surrounded by three enforcers, busy giving out orders. Raising his head, he stops talking when he senses his alpha’s approach. Mom is projecting her power to the max. The other enforcers stare in our direction as well, bracing for what Mom is going to say. They seem cagey, and it’s no surprise. Not even an hour ago those shifters had been plotting to replace Mom.

“Seth, what’s the current status of the situation?” Mom cuts straight to the point. She doesn’t ask why her wolves are busy doing things she didn’t order.

“I’ve doubled the number of sentries to cover the compound’s perimeter and also the area surrounding it. Our security cameras have not picked up any activity yet, but it’s a matter of time before Valerius attacks.”

“Is that a guess or are you basing your opinions on facts?”

“Valerius killed Deacon and sent his severed head as a warning. His attack is imminent,” Charles replies, his tone a little disrespectful.

“So, it’s based on nothing but fear,” Mom replies, earning a glower from Charles, and the other two enforcers, Trent and Gareth. She chooses to ignore the angry expressions, turning to me instead.

“Tristan, I want a task force organized. Select our stealthiest enforcers and—”

“Actually, Dr. Mervina,” Seth interrupts. “I’ve already took the liberty to put together a team.”

Mom’s eyes widen a fraction, the only reaction that shows her surprise. I, on the other hand, feel several conflicting emotions. I’m pissed Seth went over Mom and me to put together the team, but also glad he took the initiative. But I’m mostly angry at myself for not being more proactive. Instead of running to find Mom, I should have given out orders first.

“Good. Who is in the team?”

“Charles, Trent, Gareth, and Lyria.”

It’s a good team, but Mom’s face goes cold, staring hard in Seth’s direction. She’s not pleased with his choices.

“I want Lyria to stay in the compound. Tristan will join the team.”

“She’s one of our fastest enforcers,” Trent says.

“We can’t send our best wolves out and leave the compound unprotected.
