Chapter 7

*Chase's POV*

I ran and jump shifted into Ryder and let him run to the border. After the mind link from a warrior who's name I remembered as Tom vanished, I knew things were going horribly wrong out there. I was half way to the border when a piercing howl was let out signaling for rogue wolves to start attacking the pack. If I heard it, then my beta, Chris heard it to. And he did. "Chase what the hell is going on out there? The pack is on edge. They can feel your stress man. That howl... Chase tell me what to do you know I'm here for you." Chris mind linked me in a rush. He knew something was wrong there was no hiding this from the pack. So I mind linked him back. "Chris get all the pack into the rooms in the pack house as fast as you can. There is a attack on the pack. From what I know, there is a lot of rogue wolves. Once everyone is safely in, station three high ranked guards at the front door and 10 outside the house. Then gather up the rest of the warriors and haul ass out to the borders. That is an order." I use my alpha voice to let him know I am not joking. " Holy shit. I'm on it" He said in a rush. To make sure things go smoothly, I open the mind link for the whole pack and tell them to do as Beta Chris says.

*Between the pack border and pack houses(Woods)*

Half way to the border I ran into the rogues. There where at least twenty of them. I throw my head left and right signaling the warriors to fan out. They all looked sickly skinny and the scent on them is almost unbearable. I don't try to hide from them. They stop and sniff the air. They are looking for someone. I make my presence known by making my scent strong and dominant. They sniff again and growl in my direction. I snarl at them. "Why are u here on my territory rogues?" I force through the mind link in my alpha voice. They flinch slightly and growl. "We are looking for someone that is not you. They have something to die for. Move or be killed." They must be ignorant if they think they will attack my pack because they are looking for someone. "Over my dead body! You must be stupid if you think I will move a side and let you torment my pack because of your needs." I growl and cut the link. They charge towards me and I towards them. They pounce on me all at once. One had my left shoulder and I had it's left side in my mouth. I dug my teeth in until I get a rib and I bite down hard on it until it let go. I bit it's neck until I crushed the windpipe.

I took out five just in time for my back up to come in. I scowl at them. "Took you long enough." I say through our link. I was still strong but not strong enough to fight a huge number of rogues. Why are they on my land looking for someone? Who is that someone and why are they so important? I was knocked out of my thoughts by Chris talking in the link. "What did they want?" "It's not a what; it's a who." I said and started running farther towards the border.

We ran into more rogues but killed them. It became more difficult. They got stronger and I was growing weaker. Then again, I took most of them down. "Chase you can't take on that much more. Let us take over. You are hurt badly and I know you physically can't move forward like this. You should go call backup." Jacob my third in command said through the link. I couldn't leave them to fight alone. That shows I'm weak, and I, Chase Paul Jackson am not a weak Alpha. I growl and take on three more rogues that come from behind trees. "Chase stop being so fucking stubborn! Let us take over while you call for backup from another pack. If it wasn't clear already, there are way to many of these mutts for us to take on alone. We need help and I sure as hell know you know this too. If you die, then who the fuck will our Alpha..." I cut Chris off. "Alright I get it! Fight them as best as you can. Don't fucking die on me. Kill as many of those shits as you can." I say in my Alpha voice.

I ran to the pack house and shifted back into my human form and ran to my room and called Phil form the Lunar Pack. They are the pack next to mine. The Alpha is a good friend of Mom and Dad and so I'm sure he would send some of his best warriors to my pack to help out.

When Phil picks up I waste no time telling him what's happening. "Listen Phil, My pack is being attacked by Rogues. I know at least your scouts heard the howl. There are too many for my warriors to kill even with my help. I'm hurt and I don't know how long we can hold them off. Can you send some of your best warriors to my pack?" I say in a rush. His response kind of shocked me. He growls before responding."I'm joining this fight. It might be my last fight for a long time. We will be there in less than ten minutes. Hang in there kid." He said before hanging up. Thank goddess he is helping. I call the one person I know who will enjoy killing these mutts. I call her but start to panic when she doesn't pick up right away. Finally she picked up. I start rushing everything out. " Chase, slow down, who? Who is there?" She says louder. I slow my breathing down a little and say "Rogues." With that said she cursed then said "I'm on my way." I hung up.

I couldn't help but paste around my room despite the pain I was feeling throughout my whole body. Why can't I fight? Why am I not strong enough? This is my pack now I should be protecting them not the other way around. "Calm down Chase. We took on as many of those shitheads as we could. We are damn strong and you ever doubt us again. You are right, this is our pack and we protect it as much as we can and whenever we can just like the protect their Alpha when they can even if it means giving up a life. They are proving loyalty to us. Don't you ever forget that our pack is strong!" Ryder growls at me. He was right. I sometimes hated it when he was smarter than me. Our pack was strong and would lay down their lives to protect this pack. My heart swelled with pride.

Just then a howl came for the West side border meaning The Lunar Pack was here to help. Thank goddess they showed. I mind linked Chris to see what was happening out there. "How we looking out there Chris? What are our numbers?" "We lost 3 of our best and 10 of the others. We are trying the best we can but we do need a hell of a lot of help out here." I let out some colorful words before telling him that I called reinforcements. "The Lunar Pack just crossed the West side border and should be taking down the shit heads in their paths but I also called Cat and she should be here soon." I sighed out. "That's fine with me. But you, my dear Alpha need to stop thinking about us and focus on healing yourself so you can get back here. Don't try the "I have healed" bullshit because I know you haven't." Chris says seriously. "Damn I hate when you're right." I grumble through the link. I feel his satisfaction through our link before he cut it off.

I sigh and focus on healing until I hear a motorcycle outside. Cat was here. I tried to run downstairs to meet her. Keyword, tried. I was half way down the steps when I realized how much my body hurt. I got down them eventually and out the door.
