Chapter 688
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.noveldrama
"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 his 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; heard their loved ones crying while Gammas struggled to @rag 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.
I hadn't noticed I was crying until Nan had her arms wrapped around me. I let myself crumble for 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.
