“Go with the civilians. I will stay behind and keep them here as long as I can,” Ashleigh offered, reaching back and pulling the two karambit her suit held for her.
Fiona smiled.
“You will stay, but only because you are not familiar with our territory enough to guide our people home safely. I have already sent a protective detail with them,” Fiona said. “You will stay and hold
this ground.”
Ashleigh nodded as two of the other military wolves stepped up beside Fiona.
“We’ll go in and shake up the nest,” one of them said with a snarl.
“You catch the ones that try to get away or head towards the civilians,” the other told Ashleigh.
Ashleigh once more nodded.
“You also are responsible for locating Caleb,” Fiona said.
Ashleigh looked at the proud Luna, the worried mother. She nodded.
“I will do my best,” she said, staring back out at the tree line where the Rogues would emerge from. “You should hurry and catch up with the escort group.”
