**Avaya POV: **
My minions tell me that Robert has some visitors. I thought a visit was in order. He said nothing about having more men coming nor did he mention more men for the mission. I will be damned if I let him double-cross me. Cleo and two of those pups must die no matter what.
Of course, as soon as I got to Robert's camp, his soldiers stopped me. I would have thought that by now they would just let me in, but no, I must wait for them to tell him I am here. Using my super hearing, they call someone Commander and call Robert Boss. So, it seems like Robert's visitor is his superior.
"Avaya, what a pleasant surprise", Robert says as the other man-sizes me up.
"Robert, always a pleasure. Who is your friend?", I asked.
"My name is McKee", the man introduced himself.
"Do you have any information for me, Avaya", Robert asked.
"Yes, I do, but can we talk in private? Loose lips sink ships, you know", I said, looking at McKee.
"There is no need to say that I am part of his team, so whatever info you have please share it", McKee says as he offers me a seat.
"Okay, as you know, Robert, we had our doubts about the border patrol. Well, I have my men watch the patrol and it seems like they are keeping up with the same as the Thanksgiving dinner. There is a strong possibility that it will be the same during the ceremony", I say.
" It is good to know that will make our job much easier", McKee said.
"Yes, it will", I responded with a smirk.
"By the way, I am curious why. Help us what's in it for you if you don't mind me asking", McKee says. He is starting to piss me off.
"Like I told Robert, Valenzano is my man and I want him back. And the only thing in the way is Cleo. So, I figured if I helped him get her back, she would be out of the way, and I could have my man back. It's that simple really", I say as if it's nothing.
"Do you really think he will forget her and run into your arms knowing she had disappeared with his children", McKee asked as he leaned against the desk.
"Yes, I do. Once the mate bond is severed, he won't have a choice", I say.
After some more chit-chat, I decided to take my leave. As I left, I thought about the way Valenzano, and I used to be. And how we would be again. I thought about how my belly would be full of his pups. I will have to play nice with the pup I won't kill. I cringe at the thought of mothering that bitch child.
But other than that, our future is bright. Yeah, there is a possibility that the Hunter will retaliate against the killing of their man. But no one will survive to tell which pack killed them. Either way, Valenzano will protect me and the pack with his life, so no worries.
So, Robert boss is here. That means two things. He maybe doesn’t trust Robert with his so-called mission. Or he is invested in Robert's business. I am not sure. But what I do know is that McKee being here could hinder my plans.
Because I am sure he came here with extra men. Men I can’t see. Now I have to have my men spread out thinner than what they already are. They will have to watch the pack, Robert and his men. Now this asshole McKee. Who by way looks at me like he can see through my soul. I don’t need any human looking at my soul.
“Luna there are some movements at the pack”, Ring said.
“What kind of movement?”, I asked.
“A party supply truck drove into the pack lands”, he said.
“What happened?”, I asked.
Ring said a party truck of humans came to the pack lands to deliver party supplies. Weird Valenzano never let human workers on his pack. He always uses wolves. This must be her doing. Yes, werewolves are the worst kept secret in the world. It is neither proved nor unproved by humans. Yes, hunters know about us. But not regular humans. That bitch is putting my pack at risk of being exposed to the world.
“Are they still there?”, I asked.
“Yes, they are”, he said
“When they leave wait until they get far enough from the pack. Stop and question them. Do not harm them in any way. If they don’t come back to pick up whatever they left it will be suspicious. And we don’t need that shit”, I said.
“Yes, Luna”, he said then left.
“Luna the hunting party is back”, Aua head Omega said.
“How did the hunt go?”, I asked.
“Two deer's, one wild boar, and some rabbits.
“That is not enough”, I said to myself.
“Winter is coming Luna”, she said.
“I know. Call the headhunter", I ordered. She did, I think, while the headhunter is on his way to us.
“Luna”, he said with a bow.
“Terk, why was so little brought back from the hunt?”, I asked.
He explained that since it is almost winter some of the wildlife have moved on. Terk also said that the pack is hunting as well. And that he thought it wise for him to not hunt too close to the pack. Even though that is where the wildlife is.
“You made the right decision Terk", I said.
I can be hard, but I am fair. He in fact made the right decision. I am sure if they had hunted close to the pack they would have been attacked. I am sure if captured and tortured someone will spill all the beans.
“Since winter is coming Aua send some women to buy can goods in the city”, I ordered.
“Yes, Luna by the way some of them are on their way back for their weekend city visit”, she said.
Yeah, sometime if some of the women want to go out and sell their goods for lack of a better world. I let them, they come back with money or gold jewelry. All of which support the pack. Yes, I know as a leader it is my job to provide for them. And I do but I don’t have the money most Lunas and Alphas have. So, everyone pitches in to support all of us.
I know we won't be here for long. But I need to hope for the best and plan for the worst. They will not follow me if I don’t do my job as their leader. I promised all of them spots in my pack. Once Valazeno makes me Luna all those who served me well will be rewarded.
They all think some human witch put a spell on my mate. Causing him to banish me from my pack. Little know face werewolves including rogues hate witches no mate the species. And all species of human or shifters have a type of witch.
I remember after Vintage made me a rogue. I was so desprate I thought about going to a witch for help. The spell will have to be strong enough to work on Valenzano and Vintage. Stong spells require a lot of power they always give their services at a high price. And with my luck she will want my fertility. and I will be damned if I give that up.
“Luna, we noticed that there are Dromes landing at the hunter's camp”, Ring said.
“Yeah, Robert has some kind of surveillance on the pack”, I said walking to my tent.
“But is there a possibility that he is surveilling our camp as well?”, he asked.
“No, because the tree branches and leaves give us cover for his Dromes”, I said.
“Okay, I will still have the men keep a look out”, he said.
“That is a good idea. You know you would make a good Alpha”, I said.
“No, I make a good warrior”, he said smiling.
“Ring, if something was to go wrong. If something was to happen to me. Take out people lead them well. Find a place for them. Build a pack”, I said.
“Nothing will happen to you Avaya”, he said cupping my face.
Ring thinks he is my second chance mate. I do feel comfortable when I am with him. But I am still drawn to Valenzano. I allow him to call me by name when we are alone. I see the hurt in his eyes every time I talk about Valenzano.
“If you are my second chance mate you should reject me”, I said.
“Avaya, you don’t have to continue with this. I could make you happy. We could start our own pack. Under our leadership any pack could flourish”, he said then kissed my forehead.
“Ring, if I stop now all my sacrifices and my hard work will all be for nothing”, I said.
I told Ring the whole truth when I met him. I met him some years ago. Actually, it was after I killed my first mate. It hurt me to kill him, but it was somewhat of necessary evil. Ring found me in the woods near the highway mourning the loss of my mate.
“What every you want to do Avaya. No matter what I will support you”, he said then left the tent.
