Sonny’s POV
The moment the wolves from Cross pack stepped out of the clearing, I knew what was going to happen. This meant war.
‘Get the women and children to the shelter now!’ I ordered through the mindlink to my beta, gamma, and the warriors. They knew their duties well: they had to get those who couldn’t fight to safety.
As soon as Claudia was safe and Vincent had moved her to safety, I had to make sure my mate was taken care of. She was strong and resilient, but she had a look of rage sweeping through her that would end up getting her killed if she wasn’t careful.
One could be angry, but they had to realize that the feeling often came with fear—and to ignore fear and hurt was to lie to yourself. Nothing about this situation was okay.
‘Vincent, get Clara out of here.’
‘Yes, Alpha.’
As the battle began, I shifted and charged into the fray. I wasn’t sure where Clara was in the chaos, but I hoped that Vincent had done as I commanded.
