Chapter 0276
When I get back to the packhouse, I call the leaders of each safe room. “Are we ready ? Is there anything at all that is still needed? War is imminent.”
After making sure that we are set, the leaders of each room and I begin going around to make sure that all pack members know that the rooms are open. Anyone that may need some extra time to get to their safe room or bunker can head over now and get themselves set up.
We have one she–wolf that is on the verge of delivering her pup. I have assigned a doctor to the safe room where she will be. We have also made sure that other pack members that may need medical assistance during the war are in this same
room.

I’m just finishing up and getting the older, slower pack members settled in the safe rooms when I get the mind link from Liam. “Angel, where are you?”
“I’m finishing getting the elderly and pregnant into the safe rooms.”
“They are coming. They will be here at dark tonight. I’m headed back. Start getting ready. I’m about to send out the pack link to let everyone know to be prepared.”
A moment later, Liam sends out the pack link, letting the entire pack know to begin preparations for the battle, war is here.
I go upstairs to change into clothes durable enough for fighting. On my way back downstairs, I go to Sarah’s room and realizing she’s not there, I lift my nose in the air and sniff her out. I don’t have to go far, she’s in Dustin’s room. I knock and it only takes her a moment to open the door.
“It’s time.” I tell her. “Grab your bag and I’ll make sure you get settled.”
Her eyes go wide. “Let’s go, we don’t have time to wait.” I tell her.
She nods, grabs her bag and begins to follow me.
“Luna!” Dustin’s panicked voice links me.
“I’ve got her Dustin. I’m getting her into the bunker.
“Make sure she has her knives. It’ll make her feel safer.”
I turn to Sarah. “Dustin wants to know if you have your knives.”
She smiles. “I have them.”

I relay that to Dustin and when we get to the bunker, I set Sarah up at the front with a clipboard with the names of all of the individuals due to enter. “We have a few hours, but we need to make sure everyone is inside before the doors are closed and locked.”
“I got this. Go!” She says.
Pack members were pouring into the packhouse. Pups were clinging to their mothers or grandparents as they began finding their way to their assigned safe rooms. I assist where I am needed and try to help calm pack members who are scared or crying.
I watch as loved ones kiss, holding each other in case it is the last time they will see each other. As I turn to head outside and begin making my way toward the canyon, I see Dustin run in. He runs straight up to Sarah. I watch as she jumps into his arms holding him tightly. I’m thankful he came to see her. We don’t know which of us will return, but I do know that not every one will.
I take a moment to look around, wishing things were different, but knowing that this battle must happen. Liam is right, these vampires will keep coming and now it’s not just about me, Cara and Clint. We have Sarah to think about too, and any other human mates that may be out there. My role as Luna is to stand beside Liam and protect this pack, every member of the pack. Our alliance means we also stand together to protect Rik and Cara’s pack. Even if we didn’t have the alliance with them, Alessia’s relationship with Artemis would mean that I would always fight for her and by association, Rik and their pack.
I watch as Dustin kisses Sarah passionately enough to leave her breathless before. jogging over to me. “Ready Luna?”
I nod. “Let’s go.”
As we run toward the canyon, I see some warriors running off in other directions. “Where are they going?” I ask Dustin.
“Liam set up some warriors to reinforce our weak spots and make sure no one. gets to the bunkers and safe houses.”
It makes sense. Liam would want to make sure that if they send any vampires to try to take hostages, that they wouldn’t be successful. As we come up to the place where the other warriors are, Dustin grabs my arm, stopping me.
