Chapter 5 - FIGHT!

Darrien's POV

I kiss Catherine's shoulder as I sneak out of the bedroom. I go to the spare bedroom to use the shower and get dressed. I want her to rest now that she is carrying my babies. Wow, it is going to be a big change to have not one but two babies. I left a quick note on my pillow, then walked to my office and opened my laptop. I go to my online baby store and start my cart. I order 2 cribs, 4 outfits, bids, strollers, and car seats. I know the pack hospital is within walking distance but I know Catherine's grandparents would love to see them. It will be arriving in 3 weeks due to our location. I started reading online about twin pregnancies so I am prepared. As I am getting enveloped in my reading I hear a cough. I look up to see my beta Frank staring at me. "Yes?"

"Alpha Darrien is there something I should know? I have been talking to you for 15 minutes and I haven't gotten any more than a grunt." Frank smiles with his bright white teeth at me, his blue eyes begging me to give him my secret. He towers over most wolves as he is 6'3 but I'm taller with my 6'5. "Frank you are like a brother to me. I have not got something to say yet. Now let's get back to for review of the pack issues. I am sorry I was not listening." I say with a humble tone. Frank is picking up something is going on but not clear as of yet. Frank runs his hand through his short black hair.

Catherine's POV

I roll over because the sun is peeking through the blinds and hinting at me in the eyes. I knew I should have pulled the blackout ones last night but I was too tired. My hand runs over Darrien's side and notices it is cold. He must have left a while ago. I get up and to the shower and get dressed. When I came back a maid came over and handed me a letter. "It was on the pillow. Sorry Luna we just saw it while cleaning." "Oh Laney no need to apologize I just got dressed and I did not see it. Thank you." I pat her shoulder and walk to my living room with a cup of tea.

The letter was so adorable.

"Caty and Athena,

I love you so much. Thank you for the 2 best gifts ever. I have a bunch of pack issues and will be late. Dinner for 8 pm.

XOXO

Darrien and Zeus.

PS

He has not settled down. I may need him to go for a run or walk with him."

I mind linking the kitchen to get lunch for both Alpha, Beta, and myself. I had to ask for no pickles the smell has been upsetting my stomach. Go figure my favorite snack and I can't stand it. They all say that pregnant women love pickles and I am not one of them. Just as the thought crosses my mind tears start to spill. "Athena I can not believe am crying over not eating pickles." As the tears run down my cheeks and ruin my makeup. "I agree but I think you need to invest in waterproofing your makeup," she says with a chuckle.

I walk to the kitchen to collect the lunches. When I do I hear the warning alarm. I stop and tell everyone in the dining room and kitchen. "Get to the safe room now. Warriors with me." I mind linking all pack members " " Attention all members, rouge has broken through the boards. Go to the safe room in your area and stay there until the alarm stops. If you are a warrior we are covering the ground to protect find your team leader or the beta, Delta, or Gamma." I knew Darrien would be busy so I took one thing off his list. I walk out of the pack house and see Darrien and Frank giving instructions to the warriors. I smile watching him in his element as a leader.

I see 5 dirty grey wolves running to the doorway of the pack house. "Kill them and go to the alpha afterward," I tell the warriors as I grab a baseball bat at the door.

Thankful one of the kids left it behind. I gripped the metal baseball bat as one grey wolf broke through. I do not think he saw the bat as he stalks up to me growling. "shift and tell me why you are hurting my members." I yell to the wolf. Nothing just growls and a lot of drool. Fine Athena, I need your strength to knock him out. She nods in my head. I lift the bat and as he runs towards me I hit him in the head. The metal ding sound rings out. He stops moving and lies there. I reach down he is still breathing. A warrior team run by " Warrior Jack. Take this one to the cell we will question him later." He nods and his team members grab him and drag him to the cells.

Just as I tell the warriors to join the alpha after eliminating the others, I see a flash to my right and then a bang.

"Darrien WATCH OUT!" I scream as I watch a bullet hit him in the head. Seeing the blood sprayed across Frank's face stunned me.
