Chapter 66

**Cole**

Dante is cutting down wolf after wolf, but they keep coming. How did Gerrard get so many rogues together? How are there this many non-feral rogues. Also, I think to myself how some of these wolfs are surprisingly good at fighting.

I notice how the smell is not just that of rogues. Some of these wolfs cannot be rogues. The smell is of wolfs that are rogue and that are also in a pack. Who would team up with Gerrard to attack the Red Dawn Pack.

As of right now we do not have any enemy packs. At least that I know about. Not to mention who would be psycho enough to team up with rogues and Gerrard. Then it hits me Alpha Ryan. He is the only one who has a connection with Gerrard.

But why would he team up with someone who plotted against him. Someone he tried to execute. This has to have something to do with Winter. I know I need to check on her but I can’t pull focus I need to just let Dante tear these idiots to shreds. I know my mate will take care of herself.

She is probably hiding no need to worry her. I am the Alpha and I need to protect this pack. So, I return focus to the battle. Then I smell it. It is Gerrard I inform Dante and he quickly disposes of the wolf he is currently in battle with. He turns and charges straight for Gerrard.

We approach Gerrard but he is ready. Both of our wolfs circle one another. He is the first to pounce. I move swiftly and bite his back. Dante tries to lock in with his jaws, but Gerrard's wolf swipes his snout drawing blood. And Dante releases him. Gerrard's wolf bites Dantes side but he is unable to lock his jaw onto Dante.

I tell Dante to think of Athena and how she likes to lock on to tails and that will piss him off. He agrees that could be an interesting plan of attack. Dante moves to his rear and sure enough he locks his jaw on to the tail of Gerrard’s wolf.

Gerrard's wolf starts to thrash around trying to free himself, but he cannot shake us. Using this strategy Dante outstretches his claws and digs into his underbelly. There is a blood curling whimper. Dante continues to dig into his stomach. When he thinks there isn't much fight left, he releases his lock on the tail.

He moves so that both Dante and Gerrard are parallel and shoves into him, so he falls over. Then Dante moves so his head is looking down at the old wolf. He brings his head down taking Gerrard's wolf neck into Dante’s mouth. Dante then picks up this old weak wolf and shakes him. It breaks Gerrard's neck and then Dante just tosses him to the ground. As if he was a rag doll.

Way to go Dante. I tell him that crazy psycho is now dead. I continue to start to slay the remaining rogues and notice a lot of the wolfs who did not smell of rogue have seemed to have just disappeared. What is going on? I need to figure this shit out.

**Winter**

Athena is tearing these wolfs apart with ease. She really is a machine. Then all the sudden I feel a pain shooting through my back leg. Athena and I push through then another one hits. Shooting pain and another then the world starts to get cloudy. I begin to get weak and shift back.

I feel the wet grass against my body. I know it is blood on the grass. What is happening why I am is so tired so weak. I look down and see three darts in my calf. Have I been silvered? No, this does not feel like silver.

This feels like a heavy heavy dose of what I was prescribed to keep me calm till the babies arrived. This must be a sedative and a very large dose of it. I feel my eyes shut and the last thing I see is a naked man over me. His face is kind of blurry, and I cannot make out who this man is.

I wake up on damp dirt. There is not a ton of light filing the room. Where am I? I take notice of my surroundings. I notice the silver bars in front of me. I am in a prison cell. The air smells of mold and of filth. I sit up and try to pull the bars, but they burn my hands. Yep, Silver just as I thought.

I hear footsteps walking down the corridor. Time to find out what kind of psycho would kidnap a pregnant she wolf. Then I see his face, it is Alpha Ryan. “Ahhh so you are awake dear Winter.” I scowl at him. “Why am I here? It surely is not for my protection.”

Alpha Ryan looks at me. “NO, you are correct. You are here for a few reasons. Which I will tell you but maybe you would like some clothes and some food. I mean it is apparent you are quite pregnant and well my dear you have looked better. Also, I will have a midwife come down and check on you and your pups. You should know better than to do what you were doing when we apprehended you.”

What are you kidding me he is trying to play mister hospitable while he has me locked in this prison? What is he playing at? I am going to rip him apart when I get the chance. Still, I am nervous about my pups. I know I was not supposed to not be fighting and shifting just that kind of excitement was exactly what I was supposed to avoid. So, I guess having a midwife check me out is a good idea.

I decide I need to keep my cool till the opportunity presents itself to escape. “Thank you Alpha Ryan I think cleaning up and food will probably make me feel better.” He nods and leaves. Shortly after a wash bucket and some soap is brought down along with the midwife.
