Pregnant With Four Alphas' Babies: A Reverse Harem Romance Chapter 98: Sandwiched Between Alphas

*Eli*

We are not in the greatest position. Not only do we have Alpha Stephen’s men in front of us, but Reece and I also have to worry about Alpha Kane. As some of our warriors poured in from their previous locations near the castle, they warned us that they had spotted the other pain in my ass creeping toward us from the north.

The last thing either one of us wanted to be was a nice juicy sandwich for the other two Alphas to devour.

“What are we going to do?” Reece asks as the two of us look at a map in a few moments of civility. We’ve managed to keep Alpha Stephen’s forces on the run, forcing them back away from the village where Rose grew up, but I have a feeling that’s not going to last forever. Some of my troops are on their way right now to take a look at Rose's parents’ house again.

During the last battle, we had some issues, and I swear I saw Alpha Stephen’s men sliding their way back toward the new mansion, but I wasn’t certain, and I was too busy ripping throats out of wolves to look more closely.

“We’re going to continue to drive Stephen backward, toward his own lands,” I say. “And as we go, we should be able to put some space between ourselves and fucking Kane.”

“Unless he stays glued to our asses,” Reece mutters.

I look at where Alpha Kane’s troops were last spotted on the map, and I understand why he is concerned. They are within a few miles of our current location.

Asshole….

“Let’s move the left flank of your warriors over here,” I tell Reece. “That will give them the top of this ridge to anchor against. Then, as long as they are able to hold onto the high ground, Alpha Kane will have to run uphill to get to them.”

“That makes sense,” Reece says, nodding his head. “I just hope we can get that division you sent into the village back soon. We’re going to need them over on the right. That seems to be where Stephen is amassing his reinforcements.”

Reece is right, and we don’t have the luxury of reinforcements. Unless we request warriors from Tristan or Mark’s packs, and at the moment, one of them is making sure that whatever the fuck had happened in the capital the other day was under control, and the other is still defending the castle from Alpha Kane’s lingering forces.

It seems like Alpha Kane is spread thin, but he may have other packs helping him.

Before I can answer Reece, I hear my sister’s voice in my head. “Eli , can you hear me?” she asks, using the mind-link.

I wanna say no because whatever it is that Kelly needs is going to serve as a distraction, I just know it. But I feel compelled to find out what’s going wrong. In my gut, I have a sharp pain that makes me wonder if something is wrong with Rose or our babies.

Giving Reece a sign that I’m using the mind-link, I try to keep my voice calm. “Yes, Kelly. What’s up?” I ask.

“Thank the Moon Goddess,” Kelly says. “Listen, this stupid bitch Luna that King Gene has prancing around the castle is almost as dangerous as Emily was. You need to get back here. I don’t know that we can handle her by ourselves.”

A wave of confusion washes over me as I try to process what she wants me to do. “Stupid bitch Luna?” I repeat.

“That’s right. Luna Barbara from Shore pack. She’s trying to seduce Alpha Tristan and Alpha Mark. She’s a nasty slut!” Kelly sounds exasperated.

My brow furrows as I try to think about this. “You want me to stop fighting Alpha Stephen and Alpha Kane because Alpha Mark and Alpha Tristan can’t keep it in their pants?”

“Yes! That, and I’m afraid this Luna is going to try to hurt Rose,” she adds, sounding almost as exasperated as I feel.

“Kelly, Reece and I are in the middle of a fucking war. We don’t have time to go back there to babysit the two Alphas who we sent back to babysit the pregnant lady. Tell those two motherfuckers they’d better keep their dicks in their pants, or when we get back, we’ll chop them off. As for Rose's safety, if they spend time with her instead of with Luna Barbara, she should be fine!”

“It’s not as easy as you’re making it seem!” Kelly whines in my head.

“It is as easy! It’s definitely easier than trying to fight two Alphas at once!” I shake my head in exasperation.

Reece asks, “What’s going on? Is everything okay in the castle?”

Tuning out Kelly’s pleas, I tell him what she’s told me. Once I conclude my recounting, he is just as pissed off as I am. “I have no doubt that Alpha Mark and Alpha Tristan can figure out how to keep Rose safe. If they take shifts, or one of them keeps an eye on Rose while the other one keeps an eye–from a distance–on Luna Barbara, they should be fine.”

“That’s what I told her, more or less,” I reiterate to my friend. “I don’t see the problem either. Even as much of a sex maniac as Tristan is, I wouldn’t expect him to cheat on Rose.” The idea of him hurting her makes me want to punch him in the balls, even though I’m pretty sure he’d never do that.

“Isn’t this Luna Barbara a prisoner? That’s the intel I got from my men, that she’d been arrested for starting that riot in the capital. So… if she’s a prisoner, why is she a threat?’

“Apparently, King Gene has given her free rein to walk around the castle,” I explain. “It sounds to me like this whole thing is just a damn setup with Gene.”

“Well, we can’t go back now. We have to finish off Stephen before Kane’s forces all end up on top of us,” Reece declares, which I already know and agree with.

“Eli!” Kelly screams in my head. “Answer me, damn it!”

At the same time, I hear howls in front of me and howls behind me.

We’ve got company coming from both sides.

“Kelly, just make it work. It’ll be fine. Tell those assholes to keep Rose as their main focus, and if they hurt her, I’ll castrate them with my own teeth!”

That seems to get my sister’s attention as Reece asks me, “Do you think I should pull my troops away from the line with Stephen and send them around behind us?”

I look at the map again as the sounds of howling turn to sounds of grunts and snarls. The battle is beginning again. We need to strip, shift, and get out here.

“I don’t think we should split our main forces apart,” I tell Reece. “Let’s stick together and see if we can beat Stephen back before we turn around to face Kane. Alpha Kane might have more men, but they’ve all been fighting recently, whereas Stephen’s smaller forces are mostly new to the field. Let’s continue to combine our forces against Stephen while the line we’ve got behind us holds off Kane, and then we can swivel around and send everything after Kane.”

Reece nods his agreement as we hear the battle drawing closer. In my head, I start to receive messages from my commanders.

Alpha Stephen’s warriors are about to descend upon us.

We exchange one more look before Reece and I each strip out of the shorts we’ve been wearing and shift into our wolf forms. He runs off in one direction, to the left, and I head off to the right, each of us going toward where the main body of our troops are located. He’s already given the orders we discussed for the warriors holding off Kane; I heard them moving into position while I was talking to Kelly. So even though we are in a precarious position, I think we can do this.

I think we are strong enough to defeat one Alpha and then the other, as long as Reece and I continue to work together.

The best way for us to make sure that everything goes smoothly for our sides is for Reece and me to tear out as many throats as possible. Both of us need to be killing machines.

That is, if we’re going to get out of here alive.
