?Chapter 0465
"Get out of my way, you little gremlin!" Kaley shouts. "Your future Luna should be first." Then she pushes this poor little girl who can''t be more than six out of the way. "Move your big ass and let me into the packhouse, NOW!" She yells at a warrior who was clearly stationed to protect the Luna. He''s on a set of steps leading up to a door so I can''t see his face, but he is clearly not phased by Kaley''s outburst. I wade closer, Jena right behind me with a hand on my shoulder. It doesn''t take much for the kids to move out of my way now that many of them have gotten a good look at us.
"Ramsey." I call out and he looks at me. He''s a castle warrior, meaning this is serious. "How''s the Luna?"
"She is with Delta Gwen, preparing. They decided it would be safer right now for all the pups and Omegas to stay in the tunnels." I nod''
"Do we have ess to supplies? I have an injured warrior and I would like to check over the children. There was a lot going on and I''m afraid some of them might have gotten hurt."
"Yes, they will be bringing it down shortly. I would help, but some do not understand the need to stay down here and quiet."
"Luna Ava, Delta Gwen. we have the pups in the tunnels, but we have a Kaley problem and Ramsey cannot leave toe help you."
"Put that b*tch in her ce! We are under attack and no one is going to die because she feels the need to be dramatic. Tie her down for all I care and you can let her and her father know that her aunt gave the order for that."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
"Done! He''ll be up shortly, let me know what else Jena and I can do."
"Kaley, sit down. Ramsey has a job to do and you are keeping him from that."
"His job is to let the future Luna into the packhouse where she can go into the safe room while we are under attack.” She puts her hands on her hips and turns fully towards me. I nod to Ramsey letting him know I have this. Jena moves around me to take his ce. Making sure to rub her bloody arm across Kaley''s
"AAAGHHH! What the f*ck?!" I ignore her and turn to the kids.
"Okay, I know everyone is scared and Jena and I look a little crazy right now." That gets a few giggles from the group. "We need to stay down here and stay really quiet while the warriors take care of the rogues outside. Can you all help me out, I need to know if we are missing anyone. Get with any siblings or family members so we can get a quick head count."
"I want to go to the safe room! Let me through that door, Imand you! You little pissant servant, do as Imand!" She is up in Jena''s face and it is a testament to Jena''s Alpha abilities that she stayed calm.
"Sit. Down. Now!" Jena''s Alpha aura came through and Kaley stepped back from the door, but she didn''t let that stop her for long.
I was watching both their interaction and the pups moving around taking a head count of who is here. Kayley turns to me and walks with a purpose. I have to keep telling myself not to cower down to her. She isn''t stronger than me, and clearly no one else wants her in any kind of authority role. I stand my ground as she stomps over.
"This is all your fault. None of this would have happened if you would have just stayed away. Why can''t you just die? At least thest time I had you beaten you were injured so bad you had to stay away for almost two years. It should have been noon as I longer. But, don''t worry, as am Luna, you will be gone permanently. You will never distract my Alphas again, never darken our doorstep, never bring this gue of rogues down on us ever again. You unwanted, unneeded second Beta. Now tell your minion to move so I can get to the safe room before these roguese and kill us all."
At herst words many of the kids start to cry and panic calling for their parents. I could punch her. I was feeling defeated at her admission of wanting me dead and out of the pack and that she will have me removed the second she can, but the minute she scared these kids and threatened their safety because of it every ounce of insecurity drained out of me.
I stalked towards her and grabbed her around the throat, pinning her against the wall. Her surprise was clear. I''ve never retaliated against her, but she took it too far this time.
"I was assigned to protect the most important people, my Luna and the future of this pack, the only reason you are even here is because you ran like a coward hoping to be protected by wolves stronger than you instead of trying to help the pack you so desperately want to be in charge of. Even now, instead of being helpful you are scaring these pups. You have been nowhere, know nothing of value, contribute nothing, so why should I even concern myself with you?" I let that insult sink in and just stared at her wide eyes.
"You are not my Luna and will never be my Luna. A Luna puts the pack above herself and does not stomp on the weaker members. A Luna makes her pack better, she isn''t selfish or self absorbed. No one wants a Luna who can''t or won''t fight beside Ker Alpha. Who hides and needs a safe room. This is as close as you''ll get to that by the way." I move closer almost touching nose to nose and growl just above a whisper. "You may get the chance to remove me, but I will always be a warrior and an asset to any pack that will have me. You will always bea weak social climber who has to put others down to feel important and use others as a shield to feel safe. You are not worth my time or energy, stay away from me and my friends or you will see what kind of warrior I am. Now sit your pansy ass down and let me do my job, or I will knock you out and put all of us out of the misery being stuck with you." I release her neck, giving her the full use of her airway. I step back and close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm myself before I turn back to the kids who all have different mixed looks on their faces.
"Now that we know who''s in charge, do we have everyone?" Jena walks past me and winks while addressing the group. Not long after Ramsey walks in with Luna Ava and Delta Gwen, followed by several Omegas carrying nkets and water and snacks. A few of the kids run to their parents, but most are the children of warriors who live closer to the center of our pack and haven''t been moved yet.
