Chapter 124
Chapter 124 Georgia And Talon
**Georgia’s POV
The frozen dim light of day caused small puffs of white clouds to escape my lips as I ran. There was no stopping now. The tracks I had made through the forest towards the small village ahead were for a purpose.
Cuts and scrapes from the branches and fallen trees lined my skin, but it was worth it to lead the roques right where I wanted them.
Their fiery hunger echoed through the forest in a mixture of growls and snarls that caused my stomach to twist in anticipation
“Sh*t.” The word escaped me as I stumbled over a dip in the ground, running my shoulder into a nearby tree.
*That’s going to hurt later,” I muttered, however, stopping at this moment wasn’t an option.
I had to get there-I had to reach the hideout.
Breaking the tree line, my feet moved faster towards a nearby village with smoke filled air. I couldn’t wait to lure the rogues into it. They did not know what was awaiting them.
Scrambling towards a nearby building, I turned a corner, leaning my back against the wall to take a moment to catch my breath.
The adrenaline coursing through my veins caused my heart to race.
Somewhere within this village was the safety outlet I was seeking. The only problem was making sure that I could get to it before the rogues got to me.
Bait. That’s what I was, and that’s what I had to be for this mission.
“Come out, come out wherever you are,” a taunting voice called from near the edge of the village. A smirk formed across my face as I listened.
Stepping around the corner of the building, I faced the deep red eyes of a tall, slender brunette, her gaze upon me murderous and full of hate.
“Oh, you finally caught up,” I replied with a grin as I watched six more rogues appear in their wolf forms at her side.
“You’re brave for a wolf that’s about to meet her end,” she snapped, her brows furrowed in anger.
“Yeah, yeah. So you said before,” I grinned, my breath still coming out in shallow pants. “But as I told you before,
You lost yourself when you became a rogue, and now your soul is rotten to the
core.”
A growl rippled from the woman’s throat as the rogues at her side snapped and growled in the air. “You will die for what you did.”
I knew exactly what she meant. She was pissed I had killed her mate, and that wasn’t entirely my fault. He shouldn’t have tried to kill me.
“You know it’s not my fault your mate wanted me. Perhaps you should have kept a better leash on him.” I shrugged as I watched the anger grow within her.
*F*ck you!” she screamed as a roar escaped her again, and she shifted once more into her beast.
*F*ck… time to go.” 1 piped up, spinning on my heels, and taking off once more.
Running. Always running, I was really going to have to get in better shape.
His crystal blue eyes beamed with amusement because of what he had done.
“You scared the sh*t out of me,” i whispered when he removed his hand from my mouth.
“It was funny,” he replied, trying to keep a straight face. “Wait till this is over and I tell Blake,”
“Oh, shut up. Get your sh*t together. There are murderous rogues trying to kill me.” I rolled my eyes as I turned to peer through the broken boards of the hut.
“Let them come.” He shrugged, “We are ready for them.”
There was no doubt they were ready. I had seen the warriors that James and my brother trained, but it was nothing compared to what laid within the north.
The thunder of paws against the cold earth sounded to my right.
Grabbing my blade from its sheath, I prepared for what was about to happen.
The wolves moved past the door of my hiding place, and a voice yelled out in the distance, “Attack!”
Jace and I pushed forth from our hiding place, and the battle began. We were numbered in the hundreds, and even when more rogues moved from the tree line to help their quickly fallen brethren, it was useless.
Our numbers were great, and they had all fallen into my trap.
One by one, they fell to the earth, their blood soaking the ground beneath them just as the blood of their victims had once done.
The rogue leader was going to quickly learn that no matter how hard he tried, the north would always prevail. We refused to fall at his feet and admit defeat.
“Georgia!” Blake called from behind me, causing me to turn with a small smile.
.
“Oh, thank god you’re alright,” I replied, panting, as I threw my arms around him, giving him a brotherly hug. “So, did you kick some *ss then?”
“Hill yeah, I did,” he chuckled, causing me to shake my head before turning back to an approaching Jace.
“They are all dead,” he replied flatly. “One did escape, but the general said to allow him to go. He can tell the other rogue leaders what happened here today.”
I had hoped none would escape, but the leaders of the north would decide what they wanted to do.
“Very well. Time for phase two.” :
I pulled out the letter I had tucked away in my jacket and handed it to Blake. He shoved it into the inside of his own jacket, nodded to Jace and I, and took off in a sprint.
“We should head back,” Jace patted my shoulder and said, “He will be fine.”
“I know he will. I just wonder when Talon and Vicky will get it.”

**Talon’s POV
“This is ridiculous!” a voice shouted from across the table.
Once again, I was privy to watching the chaos unfold in the war room. Everyone was at their wits’ end with the situations befalling the kingdom. This seemed to happen whenever Ethan was not around.
Rogues to the north. Kal to the west.
Our soldiers were spread thin, and James was growing more irritated by the second.
“With us having cut off the supply route in the west, Kal had been losing. We should take advantage to get Kal out of our land, forever!” one Alpha cried out, causing a few others to join in the agreement.
“But our people are suffering day and night in the north!” a grey-haired leader replied with a snort. “With Alpha Ethan at the frontline, everything has been under control. So right now is the perfect time for us to gather some troops and kill off the rogues in the north!”
The first Alpha immediately disagreed. “If we move our masses from the west, Kal will push in on us again, then all of the effort we made would be wasted!”
“So you’re just going to watch our people die every day in the northern tier?!”
“Quiet!” Walter, King James’s advisor, pressed down the arguments in the room and turned to the king for a decision. “What would you like us to do, Your Majesty? Our men are spread thin as it is.”
“I’m aware,” King James replied flatly, pinching the bridge of his nose.
The chaos was overwhelming, and I knew the king was growing impatient with the way each of these other small leaders tried to express their opinion.
“How much time would Ethan need in the frontline? Did he say anything before he left?” James looked toward me. I knew he was hoping Ethan would be here. “We need to do something for the civilians up north.”
“Your Majesty, unfortunately, Alpha Ethan didn’t give me any specific instruction before he headed to the frontline….”
“Report!!” A scout I had sent to the north rushed into the war room and drew everyone’s attention. He was panting. Obviously, he had just arrived from his long journey from the northern tier.
My heart sank. We couldn’t afford any other losses in the north. I knew how important it was to get Kal kicked out from our land and win the war with the West Kingdom, but if the situation in the north worsened, the king might have to pull our troops back from the coast to send reinforcement to the north.
Soren must have known that as well. That’s why the rogue attacks had been more fierce lately. He was applying pressure to Ethan….
However, the scout caught up with his breath and burst out, “Great news, Your Majesty!!”
King James shot up from his chair and rushed to the scout to pull him up from his kneeling position. He urged, “What is it?”
“Your Majesty! We regained three villages up north, and one of the rogue leaders was killed!”
