Wind Carved Names Into Silence by Zex Hollow 167

Alpha Nicholas 

I get to the opening of this hellhole and haul myself up to find around 20 of my men standing around the entire doorway protecting it while another 20 or so are waiting to help us move the women and children, and I’m instantly filled with pride. I doubt that most of the 

men even know why they are here, but it hasn’t stopped them from coming here and being ready to guard and fight. 

It then hits me that I can’t hear any fighting. The place is eerily quiet with just the hush of small voices talking, and it has me quickly scanning my surroundings. “They’re all down, Alpha. Well, everyone except for the Alpha of the pack. We managed to keep him alive, and he’s secure in the back of an SUV.” Ryan says as he comes to stand beside me. 

“Perfect!” I chime. Even though my instruction was to take everyone down, all of my men also knew that if the man/woman that was running this place could be captured rather than killed, then that was to be done. “I look forward to having a chat with him.” Ryan smiles as he nods before looking behind me at the open doorway. 

“What’s going on, Alpha? What are we protecting?” I look around once more, satisfied that there are no more of the enemy lurking, and clear my throat before calling out to my pack members and instantly getting their attention. “Firstly, good job here today! We will have a full briefing once we are back on our parklands, so for now, I’ll make this quick. 

Some of you may already be aware of what’s going on down in that hell hole, but for those of you who don’t, we have found around 50 children down there and around 20 women, some heavily pregnant. We need to get them out of there and to safety, now!” Angry snarls and growls blast through the air as my members share the same disgust as me as everyone makes their assumptions as to what has been 

going on here. 

“What do you need, Alpha?” Despite Ryan trying his best to keep his cool, he fails as he visibly shakes with barely controlled rage. “We already have enough SUVS to get them out of here. It will be a tight fit but we will make it work. They have just left the road that we parked ours on, and will be here any moment. We will take them to our pack and work out a plan from there.” 

“Are all the women willing to go?” He asks. “They are. I have already offered them to stay if they want to but none of them want to. Some of them wanted to stay because they were scared that they would slow the rescue down and risk the children being caught, but once we reassured them, they were more than happy to come with us. We have also given the heavily pregnant women a personal guard to help 

reassure them.” 

“Fuck!” He growls as he kicks the dirt underneath his feet. “How many of the women are pregnant?” If he’s pissed now, he’s going to be livid when I answer him, and rightly so. “All of them, Ryan. All of the women are pregnant and five of them are very heavily pregnant.” He lets out a loud growl as do several of my pack members who overheard the conversation. He takes a moment to gather himself before turning his attention back to me. 

“OK, let’s do this!” This is the reason the guy is one of my top warriors and one of my best friends, and if I didn’t have my brothers he would most defiantly be a higher–ranking wolf, and that’s not because he’s one of my best friends, but because he is one incredible fighter, fiercely loyal and holds incredible morals.
