Chapter 640

We got into Sampson's car and drove back to the pack... or what was left of the pack. They weren't joking; the entire pack was in ruins. The only thing left was the packhouse, which was surprisingly untouched. I spotted Gavin's gamma patrolling the area, and Greggor jumped out to join them. There were a couple of Sampson's gammas as well, and I feared that was all that was left.

My heart thudded against my chest, breaking with each thud. I had to choke back a sob as I looked at it all; it might have been a small pack, but it was a gorgeous

one.

Because there was no pack, the planes that Taylor sent to us didn't bother using the launch pad at the air station. They landed directly in the center of the pack grounds, waiting for us to board.

We pulled into the packhouse and got out. Gavin was already on the phone with Taylor as we entered the packhouse. There was a group of packmates, most I recognized from my couple of weeks here. They all looked so sad and miserable. They were crying and hanging onto each other like their lives depended, because maybe it did.

Lucy went to join them, despite her own turmoil; she was trying hard to keep them calm and give them reassuring words. I admired her for that; she was a great Luna, and Sampson was lucky to have her by his side.

Gavin returned a few minutes later after he ended the phone call with Taylor.

"Let's get everyone on the planes," he told Sampson, who nodded in agreement.

"I need to pack some stuff," Lucy said, wrapping her arms around her body. Sampson nodded.

"Me too; we'll go upstairs together. I don't want you out of my sight," he told her.

He took her hand and together, they disappeared up the spiral staircase to their bedroom.

I looked at Gavin, who was checking something on his phone, with a crease between his brows.

"Is everything okay?" I asked him, my voice coming out a bit weaker than intended.

"Rogues have been spotted outside of the Silver Crescent pack," he told me, making my heart drop into my stomach. "There's no attack yet, but there might be in the near future. Rogue spotting is a rarity in our region, and it has everyone on edge."

T.n

I thought about my own family and friends suffering the way that this pack had suffered, and a sense of dread felt upon me. I placed my hand on my belly; a protective instinct argued with the gamma in me. I wanted to do what I could to I protect my friends and family, but I would also do anything to protect my baby.

"Is it safe to go back?" I asked.

“It's safer there than it is here for right now," he told me, putting a hand on my shoulder. "I'm not going to let anything happen to my pack, or to you, Judy. You don't need to worry about anything."

I nodded, though, that didn't ease the dread that I felt.

Within the hour, Lucy and Sampson were walking down the stairs with their bags, their gammas quickly taking them and bringing them to the planes, which were almost completely boarded with packmates and Gammas.

"I can't believe we are leaving the only home we've ever known," she whispered. "What's going to happen to us?"

I looked at Gavin, wondering if he had a solution, and the calmness that played on his face showed me that he did have a solution.

"Actually, it was something I wanted to talk to Sampson about," Gavin said, his eyes finding Sampson. "But we have a pack that is in need of an Alpha. Their last Alpha passed away a few years ago, and I've been the active Alpha since. We've basically combined my home pack with this pack."

"It hasn't had an Alpha in a few years?" Sampson asked, his brows furrowed.

I thought it was strange as well that

Gavin never appointed another

Alpha. Of course, there had been candidates and Alphas all over who didn't@lready have packs and Rad gone to Gavin, requesting a chance to take over the Redmoon pack. He entertains them for a bit, but at the end of the day, they get rejected. Ethan was the longest one he's entertained, and that was only because Ethan was engaged to Irene.

Nobody seemed good enough to be the sole Alpha of the Redmoon pack, so Gavin combined the two packs, making the Redmoon pack part of the Silver Crescent pack.

I looked up at Gavin as he nodded at Sampson.noveldrama

"I haven't had anyone worthy of being one of my Alphas," he explained "Until now. What do you say? I know it's not a replacement for what you had lost, but it's a start. If you pledge yourself to me and break ties with Alpha Levi, you are more than welcome to come to the Redmoon pack and be their Alpha."
