The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 138: Chapter 138

Third Person POV
The reaction around the table from Ethan’s declaration of war varied. The women were worried, but the men seemed to be chomping at the bit for a fight. Ethan explained to his father what he wanted to do and Arthur was so proud of his son. He was going to make an amazing Alpha.
“Go ahead and get those orders out, son. I think it is time for you to take more charge of the pack. I think you are ready.” Arthur said.
Ethan was shocked that his father thought he was ready to take more responsibility of the pack. He has been helping out where he can, but he didn’t think he was ready for that much responsibility. He wouldn’t tell his father that though. He will just have to work extra hard to make his father proud of him. “Thank you dad.” He said.
Ethan took that moment to mind link the scouts and trackers and give them their orders. He then sent out a mass link to the pack’s warriors. ‘There will be a mandatory meeting this morning at the packhouse. You are required to be here. If you are on border patrol be sure to keep your links open so that you will not miss out on the meeting.’
‘Yes, Alpha Ethan.’ The warriors responded back.
With that being done, Ethan turned his attention back to the table. Lupus took this opportunity to say, “The lycans will need to be transported here. They are all well trained. Just the young pups and elderly will have to be put in a safe place. Is there a way to get more than just a handful of us to this realm at a time?”
“Yes, Beth will be able to open up a portal and with Sandra’s help they should be able to have it opened long enough to get everyone through in one go.” Alexander said.
“I will send word to my men and have them prepare and come here as well.” Roman said as he stood up and walked away from the table with his phone already to his ear barking orders out on the other line.
“Mom, I want you and Jess to gather up enough supplies for the bunkers and make sure they are well stocked. Erica and Sandra, do you think you ladies would be able to go to the hospital and see if they have enough supplies to accommodate triage for war time?” Ethan said to the women at the table.
The ladies all agreed and left to do just that. Beth was watching everything happen around her. She was there listening, but she wasn’t using her full focus on what was going on around her. She was too busy thinking about what Zeus said about Timberlink fighting his guardian. What does that even mean? She thinks to herself. She was brought out of her daze by Alexi saying her name, “Beth?”
“Huh? Did you ask me something?” Beth said feeling a little embarrassed that she did that.
“Ethan asked if you were ready to attend some training.” Alexi said.
“Yeah. I think that would be a good idea. Get my mind on something other than my missing pup.” Beth said, trying to hide the trembling of her lips. Trying so desperately hard not to start crying again. Crying isn’t going to help her son. Getting stronger will. She needs to practice her fighting and her magic. She needs to have some defensive and offensive spells ready to protect herself and pack.
Meanwhile back at the rogue encampment
Timberlink had just woken up in a strange place. He sat up and looked around the room. The moment he saw a man was with him in the room he growled and allowed his claws to come forward. He would not let himself get hurt like that again. He has to protect his mom and sister and Fate said this was how he had to do it.
Felix held his hands up in a placating gesture. He didn’t want the kid to jump him. He was astounded that the child had shifted at such a young age. Timberlink c****d his head to the side a little as he got a better look at the stranger’s face. The more he looked at the man he could see similar features to his Daddy Ethan and Grandpa Arthur. Is this the bad guy trying to hurt my family?
“Hi Timberlink. My name is Felix. I am told I am your uncle. Your daddy Ethan is my nephew. Fate said you would be coming here and I would need to protect you. Do you remember what happened to you? How did you get here?” Felix whispered out. He wanted to make sure the pup heard him, but he didn’t want to speak too loud for anyone to hear them. At the mention of Fate Timberlink calmed down. If he knew Fate that must mean he is his guardian. He let his claws retract and said, “I followed what Fate told me to do. She said that I needed to sneak out of my pack and get caught. Not sure what else I need to do though now that I am here. She didn’t really explain that to me. Just to get caught. She needed me to be here so that the bad lady would leave. Those bad men in the woods grabbed me. One punched me in the face while another held me still. I don’t remember much after I was hit. Next thing I know I woke up here.”
“Well I do know that Fate wants me to play along with my brother Baxter and this Eris. Probably the same bad lady you are talking about. We need to get her to leave the compound. After that we can get ourselves out of here. So if you see me acting strange when he is around you will know it is just a trick. I can’t let them know that I am not under their control.” Felix explained.
“So. What now?” Timberlink asked.
“That is a good question, kid. One I don’t know the answer to. We will just have to play this by ear.” Felix said. The next moment the door slammed open and the woman Timberlink saw in his home came into the room.
When Eris heard that the boy was captured she couldn’t believe her ears at their luck. She just had to go and see for herself. When she slammed the door open she saw the little brat on the bed. She also saw her little puppet standing in front of the child as much as he could. This is good. Baxter was right. The man is protective of this pup already. HA! Just the fortune they needed right now.
She looked at them for a few minutes and then said, “You will care for the boy while he is here. He is your responsibility.” Then turned on her heel and left the room as giddy as a kid on Christmas.
