Benjamin's POV
We rush into the kingdom taking out as many of their border patrols as possible. One rogue howls setting off a chain reaction of alerts until the alarms go off letting everyone know of our presence.
My group is taking out rogues left and right with very little effort, either the Rogue King has his weakest fighters as the frontline or he is not very good at training. Either way it works in our favor.
As we near the main buildings a larger group comes at us. I rip through the first few with just a few swipes of my claws. As I keep making my way forward a very strong rogue pounces on me as if he came from nowhere. Then three more surround me thinking they can over power me. They snap their teeth and growl at me like they are trying to intimidate me but it won't work. I'm a Beta for a reason. As I throw the one that pounced on me off, another tries to charge me from the right and one from behind. I anticipate their moves so I move in such a way that they collide into one another nocking each other off balance. The one in front moves quickly but I'm faster, just as he thinks he's going to land I pivot and am able to lock my jaw around his neck, I clamp down hard shaking him from side to side then throw his limp body to the side. The first wolf regains his footing and comes after me again, this time I duck out the way allowing him to fly over me and collide with the other two. I spin back around baring my teeth, the blood from their buddy still dripping down my fangs. All three of them regroup and charge at me again. This time I leap directly towards them. My claws swiping at the side of one, my fangs biting into another while I use my body weight to crush the third and break its neck. The kills are quick and efficient. I continue to run towards the main hall, fighting and attacking any rogue warriors in my path.
Once we get to the main hall, I notice a group of rogues fleeing and chase after them, I will not let anyone get away that is not a she-wolf or child, these poor excuses of men do not deserve to escape the repercussions of kidnapping and harming women. I link my warriors letting them know what I am doing.
Shortly after I link them, I am told the few surrounding the main hall have surrendered and that they heard from Lottie, apparently the badass that she is killed a few rogues herself found a path for some victims to escape and some warriors to help protect them as they did. Honestly I am not surprised since she is the best Gamma in the region but we can't celebrate yet. I am still tracking down the few that escaped and even though I am a good tracker I lost their scent and I am pissed.
I circle back to where everyone is gathered. The kingdom is destroyed, bodies are everywhere and there are very few survivors not including the she-wolves and children. The Alpha in charge gives each group assignments. Some are in charge of gathering all the bodies, some are in charge of clean up and some are in charge of getting answers from the rogues in custody. I had suggested that the female warriors talk to the she-wolves and pups since there might be trust issues towards male wolves and the Alpha agreed.
As I am helping integrate the captured, I get a link that helps me and my wolf feel more at ease.
'Dipshit! Glad my plan worked!'
'Fuck! It is good to hear your voice but I am going to kill you, then bring you back to life so your brother can kill you too!'
'Hahaha! Love you too! I am just glad you came when you dis because I was a finger prick a way from being forced to mate that slime-ball rogue who called himself king! Please tell me you guys got that bastard!?
'I honestly don't know, a few rogues got away and we are currently interrogating a few of the captured.'
'Well shit, If I had to guess the bastard and a few of his top guys got away. As much as I hate to admit it, he was a smart son of bitch so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a good getaway strategy.'
'Unfortunately, I was thinking the same thing. Hey heard you saved some women, how they all holding up? Any in pain from losing their mates, I know we have a few that are being treated by the medic team, do we need to send more your way?'
'No, fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, none of the she-wolves that came with me were mated to anyone who was killed in battle, most were breeders or wives to the rogue king or to his top men, another reason I believe they are the ones that escaped. Even being forcefully marked and mated they would find some pain if the men died even if they aren't true mates.'
I growl hearing about the forcing of being mates and breeders, it goes against everything we believe as wolves and I can't imagine how many fated mates have been deprived of meeting because of this.
'We will find this Rogue King and his top men and kill them!' I growl through the link.
'We will, but first let's get the information we have back to the council and get the she-wolves the help they need and back to their families'
Lottie's POV
As soon as I get the last group to safety I heard that all the warriors from the Rogue King's kingdom were either captured or killed. We won this battle but I had a feeling that it's not over. When Benji confirmed that a small group got away I knew it was the Rogue King and his inner circle. We will have to hunt them all down to make sure they don't do this again.
As soon as I am done linking Benji, I turn to Amethyst and the other she-wolves and inform them of what's going on. I assured them that they would be protected until those filthy monsters are executed.
Once everything is settled at the former rogue kingdom we all head to the council headquarters. The council made sure all the she-wolves and pups had proper care, they had healers and witches take care of them. The prisoners were brought to the cells and more interrogations happened. The council even reunited some of the she-wolves with their families including Amethyst, the girl whose family started the search.
I was waiting for my turn to speak to the council when Amethyst came up to me. Wrapping her arms around my shoulders catching me off guard she spoke.
"Lottie, I don't know what I could ever do to thank you! After speaking to the council and everything you told me, I don't think I would have ever been reunited with my family if it wasn't for you!" She had tears in her eyes as she thanked me. I couldn't help but tear up a little myself.
"Amethyst, there is no need to thank me, I would do it for anyone, saving all of you was the least I could do. I am just so honored that I got to meet the one she-wolf whose family cared enough to alert the problem to the council so that my pack could participate in helping." I chuckle hugging her back. I am going to miss her greatly, there's still just something about her I can't put my finger on and I wish she didn't live across the country because I would want to hangout with her everyday.
"Please call me Ames or Amy, it's what all my friends do."
"Alright Ames, here, take my number, if you ever come to my neck of the woods I would love to show you around the pack and the town. You would love it." I hand her a pack business card from Benji with my personal number written on the back. "Sorry the card is my best friend and Beta's, so I guess you'll have his number too also the direct line to the Alpha offices. Obviously I don't have my own cards here."
"Thank you, I will be sure to keep in touch, and the same sentiment goes to you, I might not have the same access to the pack as you do but I would love to show you around the town, meet my other friends." Ames says. We finally let go of each other as her parents approach and we say one final
