The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride (Evelyn and Alexander) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534 Another Rogue Attack

Judy’s POV

Everything happened so fast; the gunshots sounded, and the screaming began. I could see the smoke from the gunfire in my peripheral and before I could even comprehend what was happening, Gavin was grabbing my arm and pulling me behind him in a show of defense and protection.

“Everybody, get down!!” He barked, his Lycan aura powerful. Nobody could resist his order, and soon, everybody fell to the ground. Screams continued as the gunshots grew louder. I heard growling and then suddenly it hit me… the scent.

“Rogues…” I whispered.

“We need to get everybody to the packhouse,” Gavin told me, keeping himself posted in front of me.

Gammas all over were already prepared for an attack; some of them were shifting into their wolf forms, others were readying their weapons and waiting for the rogues to storm the packhouse grounds.

It didn’t take long for the first rogue to appear; he was in his wolf form and was followed by others also in their wolf forms. Some gammas were already working on getting the women and children to the packhouse by the time the rogues had arrived. My eyes were wide when I saw others running in our direction with guns and armor.

“How did they get gear?” I asked. “Rogues aren’t allowed weapons and armor like that.”

Gavin’s lips were pressed together as a snarl escaped his throat.

“They were given supplies,” he said through his teeth.

He turned to look at me; his eyes glowing yellow as his wolf fought to take control and protect is territory.

“Get the packhouse with the others,” he said, his voice coming out gruff. He was more wolf than man.

I shook my head.

“Let me stay and help. I’m a good fighter; you know I’m an asset and can help,” I told him.

The guns continued to go off, and I heard someone screaming… this time in pain.

It drew our attention to the bloodied scene that lay out in front of us. Packmates were getting

hit and shot now; I heard their loved ones crying while Gammas struggled to drag them away and to safety.

“I can’t leave him!!!!” One woman cried as her husband went down.

My heart shattered when I saw that he was lying unconscious, blood seeping out from around him.

“Can’t stay here… It’s too dangerous,” the gammas told her, dragging her away and towards the packhouse.

I looked around, trying to get a glimpse of my own friends and family, my heart hammering against my chest.

“Judy, you need to leave… NOW,” Gavin growled, his eyes turning back in my direction.

“What about you?” I asked him, looking up at him, tears filling my eyes. “I can’t leave you.”

I felt a hand wrap around my wrist, and I turned to see Gamma Derek standing beside me. Gavin must have mindlinked him, and I glared at Gavin in disbelief.

Gavin, noticing Derek’s hand on me, immediately glowered at him, but kept himself under control, knowing that Derek was only doing his job..

“Get her back to the packhouse safely,” he bit out.

“Yes, Alpha,” Derek said, pulling me along with him.

At first, I struggled, but the nearby gunshots and my vision turning blurry for the rattled feeling of the earth and the gun powder, made me lose my fight.

“Judy!” I heard Nan yelling as she and Chester rushed towards me. We were almost at the packhouse entrance. Gammas were swarming the place, keeping it protected.

hadn’t noticed I was crying until Nan had her arms wrapped around me. I let myself crumble or a moment as I was pulled into the chaos of the packhouse. It was mainly filled with women, children, and the elderly. There were a few men, those who couldn’t fight or didn’t want to lift a finger. There were a ton of Gammas inside, just as there were outside as well. There were way more gammas fighting alongside Gavin, though, which brought me a sense of ease, though I didn’t like the fact that I had no idea where my mate was now,

My wolf was desperate to keep her eyes on him and ensure his safety, but I knew there was no way they’d let me leave here.

“I need to see Gavin…” I said, my voice raspy from consuming the gunpowder.

“Sorry, future Luna, but I have orders to keep you in the packhouse,” Derek said, looking a bit sheepish.

“Judy!” I heard my mother’s voice, and I felt relieved that she was okay.

She ran towards me, tears in her eyes, as she wrapped me in her arms. “It’s your father… he’s been injured.”

My heart shattered in an instant.

“What?” I gasped, looking at her through my own tear-filled eyes. “What do you mean ht’s hurt?”

“They are taking him to the hospital,” she cried. “He was shot. The bullets are laced with silver. They won’t let me go with him. They ordered that I stay here where it’s safe.”

My lip trembled as a sob escaped me.

“How bad was it? Where was he shot?” I asked, panic consuming me.

“In the stomach,” she replied, covering her mouth as she sobbed. “I don’t know what to do. This family had gone through so much. We can’t lose him.”

gammas.

“What are we supposed to do?” I heard a woman asking. “What if we lose this battle and the rogues take over?”

“That’s not going to happen…” another woman said confidently. “Alpha Landry would never let that happen, and he’s the strongest Lycan in the world.”

“It’s true, another said. “He’ll keep us safe… He has to keep us safe.”

“I don’t understand why the rogues are attacking the pack,” Irene said, standing beside me. It was the first time. “Its almost like they knew we were here somehow. Did someone tip them off?”

The thought leftumespiraling into worry. She was right; why would the rogues attack here? It was like when theyatttukallithe Redcliff pack? Now that the Redcliff pack is here, they are attacking here. Is that puck being followed somehow?

Pain shot through my stomach, and I let out a screech as I fell to the ground. I vaguely remember hearing Theme suruming my name and a pair of cold hands on my back as I collapsed to the ground. My wision grew hazy, and I had to fight to keep consciousness. My stomach was aching so badly, and my wolf was whimpering.

For a second, I thought it wasslhecause (Gavin was hurt, but no… this was different.

My wolf’s thoughts were coming through loud and clear, and my heart rate started to grow faster.

“Judy,” I heard my mother crying harlhands on my head as they turned me over to lie on my back. “What is it, baby? Talk to me…”

She brushed my hair out of my face, and I realized how badly I was sweating; when did I get a fever? The second my hair was outt off my face and behind my shoulder, my mouth let out a gasp.

“Is that a mating mark?” She asked!.

“Holy shit,” Nan said. “Did Judy and Alpha Gavin officially mate?”

Irene let out a sob.

“Is it my dad?” Irene asked. “Is that why youlike in pain? Is this happening to him as well? Is he hurt??”

She was firing off so many questions that I couldnt keep up with her. I could barely get the words out of my mouth. My vision started to retuumslightly, and I looked up to see her panicked face. I tried to reassure her that it wasnittharffather, but I couldn’t force the words out of my mouth.

“We need to get her to a hospital,” my mother said, moitioning for a Gamma who had finally taken notice of me. His face went pale as he rushed towards me.

“Holy fuck, what happened?” he asked. “Her legs are bilding…”

I didn’t need to look to where he was looking; had blblbnwton my legs, I could feel the warmth of it, and my heart shattered. My wolf whimpered with worry.

My mother’s brows furrowed with worry, and I met her eyes.

“Please…” I managed; my vision grew hazy once again, and my breathing shallow as I went limp in her arms. “Protect my baby…”
