Chapter 20

Colt -

It is Cameron who orders the fight; I get it; we lost our pack because we did not know how to defend ourselves. It would be wise if he negotiated with me or talked to me about this pack if it is mine, as he says. It is not his place to order me. I understand I am his youngest brother, but I was not raised by him.

It is understandable why my twin is so angry with Cameron and our brothers. They just take over your life and decision making without an idea of how they disrespect that individual's right to make their own decisions.

As I direct them to my pack this morning, I pray it is still there when they arrive. I also pray that the people I considered my parents are still alive. Cameron is having me fight in the third wave of wolves because he is unsure of my fighting skills. So, I couldn't venture out in the first two waves of fighters.

Cameron sends scouts out first to assess the situation as part of his routine. Then he sends out the first wave of warriors to break barriers and to create a path. The next wave of soldiers surround the pack, taking out rogues as they attack the rogues from behind the trees, leaving a level of surprise.

The third wave of warriors backs up the other two waves. If there is over one rogue on one wolf, we come in and even out the score. What I admire about Cameron is how organized he is in his fighting strategies. I really hope to be as competent as Alpha Cameron someday.

As the rogues die off, the rogue king disappears into the distance and the second in command has been captured, so he has now taken most of the rogues. It is for this reason that we are escorting him into the dungeons so that we can cross-examine him regarding the reason they attacked the peace pack. I do not know what exactly my parents did to provoke the rogues, but somehow they enraged them, and I do not know why.

Now, we are working in small groups of four, searching for survivors. When Cameron and I get there, most of the women, children, and elderly people are at the emergency shelter. My parents occupy the last room at the back of the building. The two of them are huddled together in a corner, snuggled together in proximity, crying together.

They deserve to be ashamed of what they did; they take us out of the tunnels first and then return to their pack, but instead of giving the pack hope, they take refuge in a corner and cry. In keeping with an old saying, it is as though I have been looking at them through rose-colored glasses. From a child's point of view, I never see them for who they really are.

Kneeling in front of the people, growing up, I believed were my parents. I shake my head in disgust. "Tell me father are you even an Alpha?" This is the first they look up and see me. My dad turns his head in disgrace, and shakes his head no, he is never an Alpha.

I look at him in shock. How could anyone not know he isn't an Alpha? Looking at them shaking my head, "I will talk to you two later. You are about to be put under house arrest for your crimes." Cameron must have heard what I said to them. Because he put his hands on my shoulders.

Cameron -

I feel terrible for my younger brother Colt, as it forced him to witness them in the most traumatic way possible. In the corner, the Alpha and Luna are hiding and crying. This is not helping their pack at all; I could feel the shame washing over him as he sees them.

There are many questions that are bothering me now. With the Alpha of this pack, how did he come to rule this group if he did not have Alpha blood? My mother and Luna Rosie were practically raised in the same pack for most of their lives. Regarding Rosie's role within the pack, I would like to ask my mother a question. Their daughter has Alpha blood, which raises even more suspicions against my brother's kidnappers. I refuse to refer to them as his parents.

When we find more pack members, we provide vans and let them know we will provide accommodations for them while their pack is rebuilt. So many children have been orphaned, and it breaks my heart. I have notified the orphanage that we have many more children coming and that we will open another building for them.

Almost everyone looked drained and defeated.

It pains me that the people who claimed to be their Alpha, and supposedly their Luna, abandoned them in so many ways in every way possible. The pack is family, and the people who claimed to be their Alpha abandoned their family. Rosie and her mate would most likely have received the death penalty if it weren't for the promise that I made to my newfound brother. It was ultimately their failure to help their pack on their mission, which resulted in the death of so many of their pack members. Ultimately, they kidnapped my brother.

The moment I come to know Cameron's capabilities as an Alpha and his ability to lead his pack and warriors, I am very impressed with him. The more I think about it, the more I realize I must continue my education if I wish to be a member of the Alpha Order. While watching Cameron, I realize I don't have a clue about what it meant to be an Alpha.

Although I feel like I am betraying the people I used to call my parents, I also feel disgusted by them at the same time. Sadly, it is sad to note that, so they have brutally killed many of our pack members where their throats have been ripped out, some of them young pups. How could they be hiding and not fighting alongside our warriors?
