Alpha Loren

'The protection of the Star Goddess'

"So you're fighting?" I asked as Leo drove fast towards the base.

"My army is preparing as we speak, what kind of Alpha would I be if I didn't join them?" he replied.

I sighed and leant my head against the window and looking out into the forest. The sun had fully risen yet a darkness hung low from the charcoal clouds rolling in above.

"Try not to be too worried," he replied taking my hand. "With any luck, we'll fight them off before they even get past the border. My pack is stronger than Alpha Haden's and we should be able to win this as few casualties as possible."

"Just...be careful, okay?" I said.

He nodded and the rest of the journey was in silence.

Leo soon pulled up into the road leading down to the army base. There were trucks everywhere some carrying supplies, others groups of men. Soldiers dressed in full uniform, armed to their teeth were flooding in and out of the buildings and tents and various pop-up stations. 

Only amongst all this did I realise how serious the situation was.

Leo took my hand and lead me forward. The men all naturally cleared a path for their Alpha and I felt all their stares fall on me as we passed.

"Leo, why am I here?" I asked looking around.
