Her Mate, His Luna

Chapter 19

*Aliane POV*

    I woke up to the sound of sirens. I was scared and confused at first, and then it registered. That's the rouge alarm. While I was sitting up in bed, confused, Iván was already out of bed and getting dressed. 

"Iván, what's happing?"

"Rouges are invading our territory from the east side. The warriors are already there fighting. I need to get out there and help as alpha. It's my duty to fight, but you, Mariposa, need to get to the bunker where those who can't fight are hiding. When this is over, I'll come and get you. Do not leave the bunker until then. Come on; I'll take you there. We have to go now, Mariposa."

"Alright." 

    I got up from the bed and hurried to put on leggings. I went over to Iván and grabbed his hand. He lead me out of the room and downstairs. He went to the kitchen and then opened the pantry. We walked in, and he shut the pantry door. We walked to the back of the pantry, and Iván pulled open the hidden door in the wall. We walked in and went down the secret passage all the way to a secret office. He let go of my hand and rushed behind a desk to a safe that's covering part of the wall in the shape of a door. He enters the code and opens it. 

"Come on, Aliane, get in."

    I walk over to the open safe door and peer in. Behind the safe door is another room that looked like it was built with reinforced steel and was soundproofed. In the room, I see women, children, and the elderly hiding. I take a step in and then turn back to face Iván.

"Please be careful, my love." 

"I will, Mariposa. Now hurry and get in. Once I close this door, only me and Antonio I have the code to open it from the outside, but you can open it from the inside. Don't open it no matter what, please, Mariposa."

"I won't, Iván. Now go, I'll be alright. We all will"

    I took a step towards him and gave him a peck on the lips before turning around and walking into the secret room. I heard the door close and looked behind me. I let a tear fall before telling myself he would be alright that they all would.

"Aunty Aliane!"

    I turned back to look into the room to see which of my favorite twins called my name. I see Alexandro walking towards me from the back right corner of the room. I start to walk in that direction to see my little guy. I meet him halfway and pick him up. 

"Hi, Alexandro. How are you doing, sweetie?" I ask while walking over to Izzy and Alberto. 

"I am okay, Aunty. Are you going to come sit next to me, mommy and Alberto?"

"Well, of course, I am. I wouldn't sit anywhere other than next to my two favorite guys." I say, pinching his chubby little cheek. 

"Aunty, don't do that." Alexandro giggles 

"Alright, fine." I pout 

    Alexandro studies my face for a moment, trying to see if I'm really pouting. Of course, I don't give away that I'm faking it. After about thirty seconds, he gives a big huff.

"Fine, Aunty, you can do it but not in front of people; I am going to be a beta. I have to look tough," he whispers in my ear. I giggle and bounce him on my hip as a sign of victory, and he buries his face in my neck. 

    I finally reach the corner and sit next to Izzy, who is cradling a sleeping Alberto.

"Alexandro honey, it's time to go to sleep," Izzy says

"Aunty, can I go to sleep with you?" he mumbles into my neck.

"Of course you can. Just close your eyes and relax, my sweet boy. I got you." I whisper, and I start to rub his back in a soothing motion slightly. 

    Izzy and I wait about five minutes before we start talking to make sure Alexandro is really asleep. 

"Do you know what's happing, Aliane? Antonio didn't tell me anything."

    I sigh and look at Izzy.

"We are under attack from rouges. They came in from the east side. That's all I know, but I feel like something else is going on as well. Iván looked really worried and concerned."

"Maybe he was just worried about getting you here in time?" she said with a raised eyebrows. 

"No, there was something more. Something I can't explain. I know how an Alpha who cares deeply for his pack and a mate looks when under attack. Iván had the same looks, but something more was on his face as well. There is something that's not right out there." 

"I am sure it will be okay. Our mates and the pack warriors will let no harm happen to us. Let's get some sleep. I'm exhausted, and I'm sure you are too after all that magic you used." Izzy yawned

"Yeah, I guess I am pretty tired." 

    Izzy leaned her head on my left shoulder while cradling Alberto further into her. I adjusted Alexandro into a more comfortable position. He now had his head on my chest, and his body was cradled into my lap with my arms around him. I leaned my head on Izzy's and then started to drift off into a light sleep.

*Iván's POV*

    After I got Aliane into the safe room, I ran out of the packhouse and shifted. As I ran to the battle, I was shocked to see that my warriors were correct and not exaggerating. The rouges were coordinating while fighting us. They were working together just as well as a pack would. 

    That's when the reality of the situation hit me. These weren't just any normal rouges. These were the Rouge Kings wolves. The infamous Rouge King was attacking my pack, and I was scared but more pissed than anything. 

"Antonio, these are the Rouge Kings wolves. I want you to capture at least two, and we kill the rest. Inform the warriors." I mind Linked Antonio

"Yes, Alpha," he replied, and with that, I joined in to fight. 

    I ran up to one of the rogues who were sneaking up to one of my warriors from behind and bit down on one of his hind legs. I crushed his bone and let go while he let out a whimper. Then I went for his neck and ripped it out. 

    I continued like this for about an hour until three wolves started to gang up on me. There was a white wolf who was bigger than the other two. He had patches of fur missing and black dried blood all along his back and right side. One of the other wolves were dark grey with a chunk of his left ear missing. He had scared claw marks on his face and also had missing patches of fur. The last wolf was smaller than the other two and was aburn. He to had missing patches of fur, but he had a limp.

    They were circling me, playing with me. Trying to get me to cower with fear before one attacked me. I went down in my submissive stance, and then the white wolf lunged at me. I surprised him by rolling out of the way and then jumping on his back when he landed where I just was. I tore out this spine, and he dropped like a leaf. I got off him and then Growled at the other two, who then went to attack me at the same time. I moved at the last second again, and they collided with each other. I took their temporary predicament against them and lunged for the aburn one. I clawed out his stomach. I stepped away from him and looked at the grey wolf. He was winning and backing away from me. I snarled; how could he be so confident and then turn into a total p***y. The Rouge King needs better servents. I attacked the grey wolf. He didn't even struggle. He accepted his fate and let me rip out his throat.

    The fight continued for another four hours before the last of the rouges retreated, leaving us the victor of this battle. I ran to the tree line and turned back into my human form. I put on shorts from one of the stashes we have hidden and walked back out to the field.

"Take our prisoners to the basement, and the rest of you pile up the rouges and then burn their bodies off our land," I commanded in my alpha voice before turning from the field and walking to the packhouse to see my mate.
