The Alpha King's Heart - Chapter 85: Chapter 85

I was at the border with Mrs Khuna, a huge hospital was being built not far from the camps, the infrastructure wasn't as lavish as the ones in the city, but it was something.
" And the mortuary?" I asked.
" Already done, the funding you sent to my office helped us a lot," she smiled at me and I nodded.
" What about the medicine, and all we'll need?"
" Everything will be ready and, as you instructed, Doctor Chad and the other gentleman will be heading for it as they know better what is lacking," she told me, just as I saw Chad approach us. I smiled as he came to us, bowing to us.
" Luna," he said. " Long time, how have you been?"
" I've been well, and you?"
" We are alright here, and thank you for what you are doing," he said. Chad updated us about everything that was going on at the time, and I was impressed with the improvements that have happened in only two months. I also noticed that we didn't have a lot of sickly men and the severely injured were sent home for better care. After helping out as much as we could with everything, we took a tea break when my ears perked up, hearing distant growls from the camps, I got to my feet.
" Something is happening," I dashed out of the room I was in, but about five bulky soldiers were blocking my path.
" What is going on?"
" We are being attacked by dark wolves. Our men are fighting them off, but we are not at full capacity because some men went to help out a neighboring pack. However, backup is coming," their leader told us. Blood left the doctor's face and I knew she was worried.
" How can I help," I asked, and the man looked me up and down before an arrogant scoff left his chest.
" Nothing. Our men are strong enough to fight them off."
" But you said you didn't have enough men to -"
" Miss, we were instructed by one of the senators visiting to take all the doctors to safety," he said, sounding annoyed at me.
" Well, I'm not a doctor and I demand you let me through," I said in a smooth voice and he blinked.
" Listen, lady, I don't know where you are from, and I don't care, around here women don't fight or give orders," he growled, his eyes blazing.
" She's the king's mate," Mrs Khuna suddenly interrupted, the warrior in front of me swallowed audibly, and he took a step back, his facial expression instantly changed, and he bowed low to me.
" I'm- I'm sorry, my lady. I didn't know. Please forgive me."
" It's alright,"
I could hear the angry growls that resounded from the front and I wanted to help. I've been training for this.
" Take them to safety," I said, pointing at the others, but the men shook their heads.
" The king will have our heads if we let you fight," The men were adamant about not letting me go.
" Listen, I'm not asking, you will let me pass," my voice was soft, but it was an order they couldn't ignore. My gaze burned through every man, and they bowed, stepping away at once.
" I'm sure the warriors are getting injured. Let us help," Chad said, and I smiled at him. Indeed, he was right. I immediately shifted into my wolf and gasp erupted around me, but I didn't have time to waste to run to the fight. A wolf was running behind me, and Kira recognized him as Chad. Was he a fighter? I wanted to ask,
' I can connect to his wolf,' Kira said. I tried opening a mind link to him and I managed. I glanced back behind me and realized he is far behind me, as I'm so much faster than him.
' Don't fight when you get there, just shift and treat the warriors who need it,' I said through the now open link. Chad stumbled and fell on his side. I stopped to check on him, but he quickly got on his paws and started to run again. He was surprised that I mind-linked him, especially since I hadn't sworn into the pack yet.
I reached the front, and it was terrible. Wolves were fighting furiously and biting off each other, fur flew in the air and wolves were ripping each other apart. My presence silenced everyone for a second.
' I'm here to help,' I tried the massive mind link like Kira said, and they seemed surprised. Nevertheless, fighting continued.
' Is that a woman?'
' How did she do that?' The mind link was a buzz with so many questions.
Three dark wolves jumped at me at once, and I threw them away as they were smaller than me. I could tell the difference between the dark wolves and pack wolves from the color of their eyes. The dark wolves had red eyes and a symbol of lightning on their forehead.
I bit down on the one that attacked me again and threw its dead body against the tree. I was quicker than every warrior around, so I easily became a target for the dark wolves. Regardless, I was pleased that our warriors were looking out for me, killing every dark wolf who attempted to come a few paws at me as I fought.
I noticed that some of our warriors were injured too. I glanced at Chad, he was pulling the injured men to safety. Cain too came with small boxes and started helping the injured. They were being protected by some warriors while they worked. I didn't realize the dark wolves would be so many, and others were in their human forms, wearing all black as they threw wolfsbane daggers. They were good and protected by their fellow wolves.
I was large and agile, so I leaped forward, scattering them and giving room to our warriors to attack those who were in human form. I fought them right and left for what felt like hours.
' Your fighting skills are incredible,' I stopped for a second, hearing that mind link, and a wolf used this chance to tackle me to the ground.
