Female Novel
Chapter 57
Chapter 0057
The moment the wolves charge into the clubhouse, Rik pushes me behind him and shifts attacking two
almost immediately. I only have a moment to appreciate the quickness of his shift before I’m faced with
my own wolves.
Artemis pushes forward, about to shift, when Alpha Anders shouts to get those that can’t fight to safety
and for warriors to protect them. As I look around, I realize I need to stay in human form for now and
help get those that need help to safety.
Artemis stays forward, using her claws to slice through any of the rogues that get in our way. We begin
moving mothers, pups and the elderly to the safe zone. I see my father wheeling his way over to where
the non–fighters will be. He will handle the perimeter set up.
I see a pup cowering on the floor, alone and crying. A rogue goes for her but Artemis slices into his side
from neck to flank. The wolf yelps and falls before she rips his throat out. I grab the pup and begin to
head to the safe zone. Another wolf jumps at me. I push the pup behind me before slashing the throat
out of this one as well. I grab the pup and get her behind the line of warriors my father is setting up. He
is barking orders at them, getting them into formation when he calls my name.
I take out another wolf as I move toward him. “Cara! Stay with Alpha Rik. That is your job. Protect the
future Alpha.” I nod once to acknowledge him as a howl echos from outside.
The rogues all begin to pull back and I see Kai jumping out of the building through one of the many
holes made by the rogues. I let Artemis forward to shift and I follow after Rik.
When I get outside, I see the sheer number of wolves that have the building surrounded. Artemis lifts
her head and howls a warning to those inside. Our warriors can take them, but they need to be
prepared, and I don’t think anyone knew there were this many rogues working together to attack our
pack. Alpha Anders links me and I let him know of the large number of rogues outside and that I’m
going after Rik,
I catch his scent and begin to follow after him. He has taken off on his own. I don’t have time to wonder
why he would do that, as I am under constant attack by the rogues. I take them down one after anothernovelbin
and continue to follow Rik and
Kai’s
scent.

As I come up to a group of bushes, I can smell the scent of many wolves, but also Rik’s scent. It smells
off. ‘Wolfsbane.‘ Artemis tells me. ‘I can’t hear Kai. They must have captured them.”
‘So, it’s a trap?‘ I ask her.
‘Most likely.‘
I reach out via mindlink to my father. “Dad, it seems that Alpha Rik has been captured by the rogues.
I’m going after him, but it seems to be a trap. I’ll let you know more when I can.” Before he can
respond, I close the link and jump through the bushes.
When I’m clear of the bushes, I see a man holding Rik by the hair, a knife to his throat. Rik is naked
except for the handcuffs and shackles on him. He’s on his knees, his throat exposed because of the
way the leader is yanking his head back. The leader is a giant of a man. He smells like a wolf, but he is
built like a bear shifter. His skin is the color of dark chocolate, his black hair trimmed close to his head.
He has a thin mustache that follows the curve of his generous upper lip. His body is ripped, his chest
looks like boulders on top of a trim 8–pack. His biceps are larger than my thighs and so ripped they
look like they could cut diamonds.
I look around, slowly walking in a circle. There are at least 20, probably closer to 25 wolves surrounding
me. One makes the mistake of coming too close and Artemis rips his throat out.
“Guardian!” The leader yells to get my attention. I turn back to him, watching as Rik struggles against
his restraints. Without Kai, there is little chance that he will be able to get away.
I shift back to my human form. It’s the only way for me to find out what this guy wants. Rik snarls as I
stand fully naked in front of so many men. The leader takes his time looking over my body. I don’t care,
it’s just skin and flesh.
“Guardian.” Now his voice sounds like a purr. He tosses me a shirt. It reeks of garbage, but I put it on
anyway.
“You seem to know who I am, which means you should know my purpose. You have my Alpha, so you
are either stupid or crazy.” I cock my head to the side. ” Which is it?”
Ten darts hit my chest in rapid succession. Artemis snarls loudly as Rik yells and thrashes against the
leader.
I pull one out and smell it. “Wolfsbane? Really? Okay, you’re stupid. I’M A GUARDIAN BITCH! I’m
immune to wolfsbane.” I yell at him as I rip the other
nine darts out of my chest.
