~Damon's POV
"Get a few men," I said firmly, turning to one of the guards near the door. "Take the fastest horses and ride to the mountain. I want to know who lit that signal, and why."
The guard bowed quickly. "Yes, Alpha Damon."
"Be careful," I added
"Yes, Alpha." He saluted and ran off, shouting orders as he left.
No one dares declare war against us. They wouldn't stand a chance. But I want to be sure of what we're dealing with.
I stood there for a while, staring out into the darkness. The smoke was fading now, but my thoughts weren't.
War… no one in their right mind would challenge our pack. Not now, not ever. But still, things had been different lately.
Rowan wasn't fine. Kael too.
And I… I wasn't much better. We weren't in the right condition to fight anyone, let alone lead an army.
I ran a hand over my face and sighed deeply before heading to my brothers' quarters.
