The Alpha Is Her Mate

the windows that led up to their room upstairs. Audrey was running with her hand resting on the hilt of her sword. She would draw the sword at the slightest opportunity and she would use it just as she had learned and practiced. She was soon by the door. It had been bolted and there were two guards standing watch. She lowered her head as she reached them and spoke huskily.

They would be in trouble if she was hurt and none of them wanted that, but now, the Beta had seen her amidst the chaos and had recognized her. Or perhaps, it was Because the rogues where retreating and the battle was becoming less fiercer. "I am here fighting
