Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 213 I owe this to your mother
Gunfire and shrieks rang in Emily’s ears, and as she looked at the confused scene before her, images of past memories flashed through her mind like lightning.
The deja vu images tell Emily that she has experienced the same thing before.
Emily’s headache began to ache again. The more she tried to remember the images, the worse the headache felt.
" Emily, run." Dolly called out to Emily. Emily could not move her feet, they seemed fixed in place.
A cannonball fell across the dark night sky in Emily’s direction. " Emily!" Dolly screamed and tried to rush forward, when one of the fleeing men knocked Dolly to the ground.
" Look out." Alpha Robert lunged at Emily at the critical moment, shielding her with his body.
With a loud bang, the shell landed not far from them. Emily was on the ground, and she could distinctly feel it shaking violently. A wave of heat followed and wrapped her in it.
A mixture of smoke and dust filled Emily’s nose and eyes in a moment. She closed her eyes and coughed violently.
Alpha Robert’s body was like a mountain protecting Emily. When the firing stopped, Emily tried to move her body. But Alpha Robert remained motionless, his heavy body pressed against Emily’s, and a strong smell of blood hung about her.
" Alpha, Alpha. " Emily turned her head and yelled at the man behind her," Are you okay?"
Alpha Robert did not respond, and his breathing grew faint. Emily was uneasy, but she did not dare to move, lest she might injure Alpha Robert twice. He must have been injured.
He must have been hurt, Emily thought, he was hurt trying to save me.
At last the enemy fire ceased, and Dolly, rising from the ground, stumbled over to Emily and carefully removed Alpha Robert’s body from her side. Emily sees that Alpha Robert’s body has been removed from Emily’s.
Emily saw that Alpha Robert’s body had been wounded by the shot, and that the fabric of his clothes was in shreds. Blood continued to ooze from his wounds, leaving a blinding trail of red on the dusty ground.
"He’s hurt, we need to get him to a shelter. " Emily’s voice trembled as she quickly knelt down and joined Dolly in helping Alpha Robert to his feet. Then they took a hard step in the direction of the shelter.
By the time they finally reached the shelter, many of the wounded were already on the ground, and the cramped space resounded with groans and cries of pain. Emily gritted her teeth, and Dolly slowly pressed Alpha Robert’s body against the wall.
Alpha Robert’s face was pale and his lips trembled as if he was trying to say something." We have to find a way to save him." Emily’s eyes scanned every corner of the shelter, trying to find a first aid kit or something.
A muffled sound came from Alpha Robert’s lips, and Dolly hastily knelt down and put her ear close to Alpha Robert’s lips to try and hear what he was saying.
Dolly looked up to Emily and said, " Emily, he’s calling you."
" I’m here." Emily immediately crouched down, and she moved closer to Alpha Robert.
"Emily." Alpha Robert’s faint voice reaches Emily’s ears, " I dreamed about your mother. She told me to take care of you."
Alpha Robert paused for a moment and said in a broken voice, "The Wolf King of the West... He tried to buy me off... But I refused him. Emily. Remember...Southerners...Never betray our country."
" Yes, I remember. " Emily gripped Alpha Robert’s rough hand tightly," You need to hold on."
Alpha Robert was breathing more and more feebly. After a while, as if with all his strength, he said, " I love your mother, but I’m really sorry for you and your mother. I’m sorry."
As Alpha Robert finished these words, his eyes gradually lost their lustre, the once deep, determined gaze became hollow and lifeless, and the hand that held Emily slowly slipped from his grasp and dropped to the blood-stained ground.
Emily’s mind was a blank, and grief and pain mingled and surged to her heart. At that moment the bitterness between her and the man had vanished with his death. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Emily’s vision was blurred with tears, which fell down her cheeks to the floor. Her throat felt as if it were being strangled by an unseen hand, and every breath she drew was accompanied by a sob.
The people around her bowed their heads in silence as they saw Alpha Robert pass. There was an air of sadness and distress about the shelter. It was an atmosphere so heavy that one could scarcely breathe, like a thick cloud pressing down upon every heart.
" Alpha is dead, what do we do now?" The voice of a woman with a baby in her arms trembled, and her eyes were full of despair.
" Alpha Robert has no heir, who will lead us now?" asked a man, covering his wounded shoulder.
Emily slowly got up from the floor, she looked at everyone and then said to them, " Me."
" But you are not Alpha Robert’s heir." questioned the man, in a low voice.
" I am a princess, and it is my duty to guard my people." Emily looked up, her eyes burning with anger and determination. The tears were still on her cheeks, but the sadness had given place to a greater strength.
" The North stopped their artillery attacks and soon they will attack our pack. We must unite against them, we must fight to keep our home." Emily said to the group in a firm voice, " Now, who wants to fight with me?"
People began to whisper, then a young warrior stepped forward, "I will fight with you!" Immediately, more responded, fists clenched, the fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.
" Now, we must reorganize our defense. We had to use our familiarity with the land to counterattack. We’re going to make the Northern Army pay!" Emily began to give orders, " Dolly, you go and check if the communication equipment is working and must report our situation to Adam. Also, Contact the Alphas in the other packs for immediate support."
Emily looks to the young warrior from earlier, " You gather the other warriors here immediately, we need to deploy a battle plan."
"Yes, Your Highness. " The young warrior immediately complied.
Emily looked toward the ruins outside the shelter, her eyes full of hatred.
