Opposites Attract

Chapter Thirteen

Gamma's face softened. "Alpha..." She didn't know what to say.

I shook my head. "Gamma, I want you to know that without you, this pack would not be as strong as it is today. You know that I was raised with similar thoughts and opinions to my father. And your father and your thoughts and opinions are much the opposite. And that I am so thankful for.

"Without you, I would never question my action situation, I would never rethink plans so I can perfect them, I would never be the Alpha I am today. I know I can be a thorn in your paw, but I need you--this pack needs you." I insisted.

She made eye contact with me and I could see her confusion, anger, and surprise. So many emotions swirled in her eyes and she did not even try to hide them. But still she seemed unbelieving of my statement and she turned away from me.

"Blade," that brought her attention back to me, "I would never lie to you. You know that right?" She cast her eyes down. "I know that I am lying to Beta and Honey, but being honest, I trust you more than either of them."

She shook her head. "I am only your gamma."

I scoffed. "We have known each other for a lot longer and I have gone through more events with you than Beta or Honey. We spent our younger years together, Blade."

"Then stop getting so annoyed with me," she huffed at me.

I laughed. "I think you know me well enough that we annoy each other all the time."

She grinned at me, but then her face grew grim again. "Now I am still not going to agree with you on the decision to attack right away still." I nodded. "Then what are you planning on doing."

I eyed her, no doubt she wanted me to wait and she would not back down on that argument. "I think... you are right. We should plan carefully before we start our attack. And the pack should be prepared as well." I agreed, slightly reluctantly.

She nodded. "We should get back to Beta and Honey." I nodded and her and I found Ram and Honey discussing something while waiting.

They noticed us and straightened up. "I owe you both an apology." I started. "I have been a little on edge with everything going on and I have been letting my emotions get the best of me."

They nodded. "Alpha, we are all on edge. Are you sure this is not anything else?" Honey asked calmly.

I hesitated, but shook my head. "I am just getting very frustrated and angry with some of our pack members captured by that werewolf pack." I stated almost honestly. The two betas gave each other a look before giving me an understanding nod.

As we discussed war plans and different outcomes, my mind drifted to think about Siqiniq. It was harder to keep her out of my thoughts. I wanted to go to her right now and break her out of wherever they are holding her.

However, I can not go after her, no matter how much I want to. It would be a rash decision to try to get to her and I can not fight so many werewolves at once. I would definitely be killed and Siqiniq would want me to be smart.

I only want to keep her safe. And I cannot even do that. She is just out of my grasp. If only we had decided which pack we would stay with as mates then we could have been together. We should not have waited. Blade was right about that too.

"Well, it is obvious that the Frozen Storms Pack is against the Raw Power Pack. We maybe could figure out a way to communicate with the werewolf pack." Blade said and before any of us could say anything, she continued, "I know this could be dangerous, but they could be a good ally. This is a war we are fighting. We should take every opportunity we can."
