214 Some Arrangements
[Mona’s P.O.V.]
Once everyone was present, Edward began to explain what had happened this morning, as well as my premonition. Everyone looked focused and solemn.
Once he was done explaining, he began to give everyone their final tasks.
“Mom and Dad, I need you to take Felix to a safe place,” said he.
Luna Taylor picked my son up from his crib and returned to Alpha Leon’s side. They didn’t ask any questions as they gave me a reassuring look that told me they would protect him with their lives.
“Beta Patrick, make sure all the warriors are armed and ready for an undercover battle. After sunset, the strength and number of patrols need to be increased at least threefold. Dylan will assist you.” He looked at the clock on the wall which read that it was three o’clock in the afternoon.
“No problem, Alpha,” said Patrick and Dylan.
“Gamma Ad, tell all pack members to prepare their bunkers and that they need to stay hidden until sunrise the next morning.”
“Do I need to tell them the truth?” asked Ad.
“Not for the time being. Tell them that this is a high-level and rigorous exercise for safety. It must not be treated as child’s play. Also, make sure that everyone can meet the standard of safety precautions,” said Edward as Ad lowered his head obediently.
“Gamma Jane, are your team members ready?” asked Edward.
“Yes, Alpha. They are outstanding female warriors of the pack who have undergone focused training during this period of time.”
When Jane said this, I looked at her in admiration. She was the most outstanding she-wolf warrior of Sunset Pack who had been protecting the pack since she was a teenager. She had even been involved in battles before. She was very valiant.
“Very good. If Nicholas has reinforcements, they might split up to look for the target they want, the female Werewolf of Chaos. If that time comes, I will need some of your female warriors to act as bait, just like our previous plan. We can’t rule out the possibility that Nicholas might have the idea of taking hostages to attack or retreat. They need to ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.”
“Okay, Alpha.” Jane lowered her head.
“Dr. Baldwin, I need you to make sure that the pack hospital has everything they need to treat vampire bites or combat injuries, just in case.” Dr. Baldwin nodded and willingly obliged, even though he was not a person who knew the whole story.
“Can I do anything for the pack? Diana’s eyes shone with earnestness and determination as Patrick held her hand tightly.
“Beta Diana, because you’re a human and don’t have your own wolf, you need to focus on protecting yourself,” said Edward, and I saw a sense of loss in her eyes.
“You can also help Patrick and Dylan check all the public shelters in the pack to make sure they work properly.”
“Yes, sir!” Diana saluted Edward, which eased the tension a little.
Soon, everyone left the room, leaving only Edward and me. Luna Taylor left with some essential baby supplies and reserved breast milk in the mini-fridge.
“Are you feeling better?” asked he while letting me sit on his lap. I nodded.
“I’ve already reported to the Council of Elders. They will make preparations every night, including tonight. You have to believe that once that d*mned blood-sucking trash pounces on Emily and brings her back with them, the Council of Elders will gather their most elite forces and go to him to catch him in the act.”
“Are you still determined to participate in this operation, Alpha?” asked I to him.
“This is what I should do. I have no reason to back down, unless I can’t go to the place where he’s staying because of policy reasons. We will capture him and come back safely. I promise you.”He took my hand and kissed it.
“Yes, I believe you,” said I because I knew that it was useless to say more.
“Baby, if the battle starts tonight, I need you to find a safe place to hide and don’t use your ability. This will only send a beacon to Nicholas who will then discover your existence.”
“I will work hard.” He didn’t know that this was a pun.
