Melissa's POV

We are going over tactical approaches to how we will penetrate the enemy line. I am not foolish. I know that planning is important, but Nikola is not going to wait peacefully for Riley to decide on the best route forwards. We had a plan. Several. She is wasting time with the micro-managing and over-explaining.

We were ready. Sammy and I were more powerful than ever and Quaahir and Zain only strengthen our position. Let's not forget the very humble lions that are leading our attack.

I could tell Riley was worried. I imagine it had something to do with the fact that Nik was overpowered. But God or not – I know better than anyone that my wife is not always as alert as she should be. It was probably a surprise attack. That was the only explanation. What we are doing is simply overkill.
