From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 64

Asher nodded and straightened, his eyes glazing over from the link. His gaze refocused after a moment and he gave me a nod. "Ivy's ready. She'll be here in just a minute."

His eyes were filled with concern. I knew he was worried about her coming so soon after the attack, but she'd insisted. She felt responsible for Lili being taken, but it wasn't her fault. It was mine. I'd been the one to let her down. I'd failed to protect her.

A few minutes later, a quiet knock sounded at the door as Ivy entered, followed by two of our lead warriors waiting in the hallway. "Are we ready to go get our girl?" She said, pushing her chin higher as she tried to appear more confident than I knew she felt. I could sense her worry she was trying to hide.

"More than you know." I said with a tight smile. "Ok Ivy. So you know your part right? Just in case things go South."

She nodded and gave me a wink. "Yes Alpha. I'll get to the girls. Don't worry. I won't let you down."

I walked over and wrapped my hand around her shoulder, squeezing gently with a single nod before stepping through the doorway and out to the front of the pack house where the rest of our warriors were waiting. My hand absently checked for the gun holding silver bullets inside.

We'd prepared for everything we could, planning for the worst case of having to kill Cage and anyone else who would fight against releasing Lili and the girls. Ivy trotted up to stand in front of her group of she-wolves as Asher stopped and turned to stand in front of the warriors ahead of me. I gave them all a nod as they acknowledged our arrival, dipping their heads as they stood waiting for instructions.

Tension rolled off of Weston, and when I entered the house I could see why. Four large guards nearly matching my size stood just inside. They glared at us with arms crossed as we stopped inside the entry. I straightened and stepped forward, nodding to the four of them before speaking evenly. "We're here to speak with Alpha Dominic. He's been informed of our arrival. He should be expecting us."

The largest of the four looked at me with jet black eyes as he nodded, stepping to the side as his eyes glazed over, letting Dominic know of our arrival. "He is ready for you. Just in there." He pointed to the closed door on our right, a light shining from beneath it in the darkness of the hallway. Asher and Weston walked to follow behind but were blocked by the guards. "Just you." The largest barked.

I nodded to Asher and Weston and continued to stop in front of the door, gripping the door knob and taking a calming breath before settling my nerves and walking in. This had to work. He had to help us.
