As soon as Will and I approached the forest edge I removed my shirt and my pants. I tied them to my leg with a string I always carried around. I let Skol take over and the first thing he did was whine and look toward Ellie’s room.

‘We can’t go back, Skol,’I said.

‘I know,’he said quietly.‘I just miss her.’

‘I know,’I said softly.‘I miss her too.’

He turned around and started running toward the border. Lowell, Will’s Lycan, was running right beside us.

‘Will you let me be with Maddie when we come back home?’Skol asked.‘It’s been so long since I last held her. I need you to let me be with her for a little bit.’

‘Of course,’I said.‘You will get to see Skye soon as well.’

Skol sighed.‘I am not so sure about that. Maddie is still ignoring her.’

‘I’ll talk to her, Skol,’I said.‘I promise.’

I focused on the forest and Skol started running faster. The border was about an hour away, but both Skol and Lowell were fast runners and I knew that we would get there sooner.

Skol whined quietly and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him. He kept thinking about Maddie and it was distracting us both.

‘Stop it, Skol,’I growled at him.‘We need to stay focused. We will go back to her soon.’

‘I know,’he mumbled.‘I just miss her a lot.’

I sighed but decided to ignore him. I needed to focus on this meeting. I needed to focus on the Alphas who were coming.

I would go back to my love soon. I would get to hold her soon.

Nothing would stop me from running back to her as soon as I could.

CHAPTER TWELVE – Nine Alphas

Dimitri’s POV

I took a deep breath as I approached the border. All nine Alphas were already there.

“Welcome, Alphas,” I said, giving them a small smile. “I am honored and grateful to be standing here before you. Thank you for coming. I am looking forward to spending some quality time with all of you.”

All of them got down to one knee.

“Thank you, my King,” they said at the same time.

I was silent for a moment.

“Stand up and step over to my territory, please,” I said and watched as all of them followed my command.

The first one to approach me was the oldest Alpha in the group. He was the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.

Alpha Alistair was a charismatic leader. He was known for his strategic thinking and determination. His Beta, Benjamin, was intelligent and highly resourceful. If I ever needed a war strategist I would go to both Alistair and Benjamin.

“My King,” Alistair said, bowing his head a little.

“Welcome, Alistair,” I said politely, pointing at his assigned spot behind me.

He smiled and walked into my territory.

The next one to approach was the Alpha of Maddie’s old pack, Red Moon.
