Chapter 47: Rogues

Reign

As we walked back to the pack house, we could hear the guys hooting and hollering. We continued our walk back, when we got close to the house, we heard warning howls fill the air. Spencer and Spyder had been following us along with a few other guards. They quickly herded us like cattle. “Let’s go NOW!” Spyder yelled pushing us to a safehouse that was just a few feet away from us. “King Damien’s ORDERS! To the safehouse.” “What! No, we need to get to the pack house!” I yelled as panic took over. “Your Majesty, I’m sorry but…” Spyder said as he picked me up and carried to the safe house. I was kicking, yelling, hitting, and punching his back. I could hear the girls yelling for me to calm down. Spencer opened the door to the safe house and ushered us and the other pack members into the room. “Everybody, please try and stay calm.” Jazlyn said trying to soothe the crying and sobbing pups and young ones. “Lock it up NOW! Rogues are heading this way. Mason and Raz have masked scents they are going to stay out there with the others.” Spencer said rushing in helping to secure all the doors.

“Where did they come in at? How many are there? Do we have any casualties?” I know I was rambling which seems to be happening a lot lately. “Your Majesty please calm down.” Spyder said putting his hands on my shoulders. “King Damien will fill you in later right now it's my and Spencer’s responsibility to keep you and the others safe.” He said. I nodded my head. “Right, I'm sorry. It's okay, it can be very unnerving if it's your first time.” Spencer told me. “I wish there was not a first time. I don't know how you do this.” I sighed. “What really sucks is that I know Luther and his dad are behind this.” I admitted. “That is probably true, but we will know more when they give the give all clear. Until then, just try to relax and keep as quiet as possible.” Spyder said looking around the room. “You can help by trying to occupy the pups.” “Yep, on it.” I breathed out, calmed myself and turned towards all the little ones. “Okay, I know ya'll are scared, and actually, so am I,” I started, “this is the first time I am going through this also, so, if you want to, we talk about it or just sit and play 20 questions. You can ask me any questions.” They all got excited, we sat and talked. They shot question after question at me. Some of them will make great journalists when they get older.

We were already going on 3 hours, the pups settled in and most of them fell asleep. We still had no word, no update, no nothing I was pacing back and forth. “Reign, please sit down.” Cloie asked. “You need to relax.” Jaz said hugging me. “I'm scared I can't lose him I can't lose any of them any of you.” I whispered. “You're not going to lose any of us our guys will be back here before you know it.” She said helping me sit down. “Yeah, there is no way that any of them would miss welcoming their pups into this crazy world.” Jen said. “We are in this together, no matter what happens.” She assured. “Excuse me your Majesty.” A sweet little voice calls to me. I look for the voice, “Here you should eat something and drink some juice.” She told me. “Please all of you need to eat, we must take care of our future Royals.” The little girl smiled. My jaw dropped we haven't announced the news. We can smell the new little ones, your scent is different and carries a new scent. She explained. “I had no idea that was possible.” I said more to myself. The little one handed each of us a juice and snacks. I tried to stay calm, but I hadn't heard from anyone. Dyanera hadn't able to contact Ayres either we were all worried eventually I drifted off to sleep. “Wake up.” I heard. “Come on we can go back to the pack house.” I opened my eyes. “Wakey, wakey your highness.” I heard someone chuckling as they helped me sit up. I looked around and saw that everyone was being escorted out of the safe room. “Where’s Damien.” I asked getting to my feet quickly making me dizzy. “Hey, hey, slow down, if anything happens to you, Damien will kill me.” Jyden grinned at me.

“How's everybody? Grams, gramps, mom, and dad? Oh, my Lord what about Mac, Bea, and D?” I panicked. “Calm down they’re all fine. They got to safety. Bea is a little freaked out but she's good.” He told me helping me out of the out of the safe house. I could hear the quiet sobs as we made our way to the pack house. People were scurrying around helping to find those that were missing or injured. Warriors were removing and counting bodies in human and animal forms. “Did we lose anyone?” I quietly asked. “No lives lost for us just some minor injuries. All lives lost are from the rogues.” “Dammitt.” I said under my breath, “I know they’re rogues but I don't want any lives lost rogue or not.” I sighed. Jyden frowned at me. “Do you really want our kind to start to decline?” I asked. “Like this, fighting with each other?” “Reign, once a wolf goes rogue and is out there alone long enough there's no saving them. They lose all sense of themselves all good that they once had is gone,” he explained, “there is no longer any humanity left in them.” “I don't know much about rogues.” I admitted. “I know and I understand how you feel but once a rogue, if you can't reach them in time...” he said wrapping his arm around me, “...there’s no saving them.” “Where’s Damien?” I asked trying to fight off tears I needed to see him.

“Babygirl.” I heard my name. “Damien.” I saw him walking out of the forest darkness before I knew it, I was running to him and flung myself into his open arms. “I thought I lost you.” I whispered. “No way, not a chance, no rogue is going to keep me from you, we have three little ones on the way. There's no way I'm going to miss that.” He said hugging me. I felt him lifting me off my feet. I buried my face into the crook of his neck. “Let's get you inside, our moms are waiting for you. They're sitting with a few young ones whose parents can't be located yet.” All I could do was hold on to him as tight as I could. He lifted me off the ground my feet dangled as he turned to walk to the pack house, and I wrap my legs around his waist.

 
Damien

We were chasing after Jonah after his comments it wouldn't have been so bad if he had said it a different way, we were surrounded by five pregnant and hormonal females. We need to watch what the hell we say. He always seemed to forget that what can I say, he can be an idiot. My beautiful mate is carrying triplets. I knew twins were an absolute but triplets. Wow! I'm a little worried, Aunt Ebbie was right when she pointed out that Reign is so much smaller than the average she-wolf. She wants her to stay off her feet and not stress, yeah her not stress that’s not going to happen. As we walked back to the pack house, my ears perked up or should I say that Ayres’ ears perked up.

“Did you hear that?” He said partially surfacing. “Someone there, I smell rogues. Where is mate?” He asked. “She's with the girls on the way here.” I told him. “No keep her away. She needs to get to safe room!” He growled at me. “Spencer, Spyder take all the girls to the closest safe house. Rogues are attacking.” I yelled through our link. “Warriors! To battle, protect your kingdom!” I ordered. “Get our women, elderly and children to safety.” Everyone knew their roles and assignments; they all sprang into action. “We find little mate!” Ayres roared at me. “No, we can’t! We have to protect our people and the castle. She’s safe with Spencer and Spyder, they have her in one of the safe houses.” I told him. “Need her!” He growled. “I know but we need to rid the land of these rogues.” I repeated dodging punches and snapping necks. “You said she needed to stay away from here and needs to be safe, but you want her by our side? You can't have it both ways!” I told him. “Let’s get this done so we can find her. Get your head outta your ass. She will bring us back from death only to kill us if anything happens to us.” I yelled at him. “Bro! Where the fuck did, they come from?” Jyden yelled. “Where are the girls?” Noah grunted between punches. “They’re safe, Spencer and Spyder are with them along with their other guards. Let’s get this done, I know they are worried, especially Reign, she’s never been through this before and she’s pregnant. I don’t want the stress to hurt her or the babies.” I grunted. We continued fighting those dirty rogues, it went on for two hours when we finally were able to get them under control, we were also able to take a few of them prisoner. “Take them to the dungeons!” I ordered. “Make sure the castle is secure along with the surrounding lands, once the borders are secure, open the doors to the safe houses. We have families to reunite.” I bellowed.

Two weeks later

It’s been two weeks since we found out that we are having triplets and since we were attacked. Reign’s Uncle Martin was able to help us during the battle, he wasn’t able to shift but he was able to fight and defend in his human form. He guarded the pack house, where the majority of our women, elderly, children, and his parents were sheltering. He didn’t want to lose his mother because of his mistakes. He’s one tough son of a bitch in his human form, makes me wonder what his wolf looks like. While Martin, gramps, and dad along with a handful of warriors protected the pack house, the rest of us battled the rogues coming out of the darkness of the forest. Once things were under control, the warriors gathered the dead rogues to dispose of and the pack members were allowed to reunite with their loved ones. We were going to have our work cut out for us, a lot of homes were burned to the ground. Alphas from packs around the kingdom sent extra warriors and supplies to help us rebuild the lost homes. Those that lost their homes were given rooms in the pack house until their home was rebuilt. Since the attack, we have kept all our girls together, none of them are left alone without at least two of us plus four personal guards each. Reign was the one we were all worried about, she was going on four weeks along and was sporting the cutest little bump I have ever seen, then again, I am a little biased, she is my mate and my love. Getting around was starting to get difficult for her. She was frustrated but she didn’t argue with me as much anymore. We tried to keep them all on the Alpha floor during the day, they all moved into the pack house and had their designated floors. We decided to expand the upper five floors to accommodate our growing families. We went downstairs for breakfast and dinner with the pack and outside for a least a couple of hours or so. We implemented a lot of new security measures along the borders and the perimeters where the village begins. We decided to rebuild the homes closer to the pack house and fortified the barriers and walls.

“Damien.” Reign called out to me. “I need help getting up.” She huffed as she wiggled on the bed trying to sit up. I chuckled at her. “What’s so funny?” She scowled at me. “You know this is your fault.” She snapped.” Awe babygirl, you’re just so cute and my fault?” I shook my head at her. “I’m not cute! I feel like a beached whale and yes, your fault, you have like super sperm!” She growled. “Babygirl, it wasn’t just me.” I said helping her sit up and dangle her feet over the edge of the bed. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. She sighed. “I know, I’m sorry. It’s just…they make it hard to get any sleep.” She winced. “What happened? You, okay?” I kneeled down in front of her cupping her cheek, she still instinctively leans into my touch. “Yeah, your little Alphas are just scuffling.” She laughed lightly. “One of them just dropped kicked my butt bone.” She rubbed her beautiful round plump ass. “Hey, don’t get any ideas.” She shook her head. I gently caressed her bulging little belly. “Hey you three.” I whispered to them. “You need to go easy on your mum. She needs to be able to sit up and get around and you three little peanuts are not helping, so you need to ease up her. That’s an order.” I playfully growled at them. She laughed. “They are going to be difficult, but they seem to only listen to you.” She said as I pulled her up to her feet and helped her to the bathroom. “D?” she lowly whined, I looked down at her. “I can’t see my feet.” She sobbed. “Awe babygirl, it’s okay.” I hugged her, her hormones have been off the charts these last couple of weeks and it’s just the start. “C’mon, let me help you shower and then we can go down for breakfast.” I told her turning on the water, helping her undress and into the shower. “Want mate.” Ayres hissed. “Behave, she’s not having a good morning.” I scolded him. “We help make feel better.” He growled at me. “Ayres, STOP!” I scolded him as disappeared into the shadows of my mind. She perked an eyebrow at me. “Sorry, Ayres is being a horny bastard.” I snorted. “It’s okay, I know how he feels.” Her eyes flashing black then back to grey. “It’s just…I’m so tired.” She leaned her back onto my chest. “Let’s get you cleaned up, fed, get a walk and a nap and maybe you’ll feel better.” I suggested to her. “You don’t love me anymore, do you?” She frowned at me. “You find me fat and disgusting.” She started crying and pushed away from my embrace wrapping a towel around herself and walked into her closet. “Babygirl.” “Don’t call me that!” She scowled at me softly crying. “You make little mate cry, jackass!” Ayres grumbled at me. “I didn’t mean to.” I told him. “You’re not helping either, you know.” “Make it better, NOW!” He bellowed giving me a headache. “Reign my love, I will never stop loving you. You’re my Queen, my mate, my love, my sun and moon, my wife, and the mother of my pups. You’re not fat and/or disgusting.” I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. “You haven’t…you know since we found out I’m pregnant.” She whispered. “I…the others said that they can’t keep their hands off each other but you…” she trailed off. I leaned into the crook of her neck and kissed my mark, inhaling her scent deeply sending a shiver down her spine and mine. “I’m sorry babygirl, I didn’t…I don’t want to hurt you, carrying three pups and Alpha pups for that matter is not easy. Believe me, I want to enjoy you but I’m…I don’t want to hurt you or our little ones.” Her sobs slowed to hiccup sniffles. “Tell ya what, we can spend the whole evening up here all alone. I will threaten everyone with loss of life and/or limb if they interrupt us without good cause.” I wiggled my brows. She giggled and relaxed in my arms. I had her lift her arms and slid a sun dress over her head and helped her put on her sandals. “Ready? Yup,” she smiled, and I brushed a kiss across her lips. As we walked out of our room, we were met with Spencer and Spyder. “You’re lucky that I’m too tired, hungry and pregnant otherwise I would argue.” She frowned and walked on. The three of us chuckled as we followed behind her. She was barely a month along and she was starting to waddle, and she looked like she was around three months along. I moved up to walk next to her, I took her hand in mine and gently guided her down the hall when we got to the stairs, I picked her up bridal style and carefully carried her down the stairs.

“Good morning your majesties.” The kitchen staff greeted. “Good mor’ning.” She drawled out, it’s that Texas in her. Gotta love it. “Hey Reign, Da.” Our family all chimed in as we walked in with my Queen still in my arms. “Are you doing okay this morning?” Mum asked walking over to where I sat down with Reign in my lap. “Yeah, these three decided to start training with each other and one of them dropped kicked my butt bone.” She chuckled rubbing her belly bump. “Hahaha, Damien used to do the same thing.” Mom snorted lightly. “And then the other two, Dear Goddess, they are still fighting with each other.” She laughed. “Like I told D, they’re going to be difficult.” Reign smirked at me. “I guess they are all bonding somehow.” Jenny said. “Seems that all these pups have been very active.” She said as Shadow rubbed her belly. Jenny hasn’t started showing yet, but all these pups are causing their mom’s all sorts of problems. “Good morning.” Aunt Ebbie sing-songed as she walked into the dining hall. “How are all my mumma’s doing this morning?” All the girls lightly moaned; Ebbie chuckled. “Okay, let’s get all of you to my office in an hour, see what’s going on.” “Thanks, Ebbie.” They all said in unison.
