The Delta's Daughter Chapter 192

Day 21 of The Games

MIKE

We had arrived at the docks of Chegank, on the second continent in the country of Dre, yesterday. We had spent the whole night loading up a couple of transport trucks with supplies and weapons, I was eager to get to my King, but not so eager to leave Jonda.

I slipped my arms around her waist from behind and buried my nose into the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent. Her hands came up to cover mine and felt her lean back into me and sigh.

“I could still come with you,” She said hopefully.

I shook my head pulling her body more into mine “You are safer here, besides you will be here to greet our army and help organize them. I don’t want you near any fighting. I can’t even stand the thought of losing you, I only just found you.” I said honestly. I had only known Jonda for a little more than a few weeks, but since that night at the Inn when I first sunk into her, I couldn’t bear to be apart from her.

I know we are meant to wait for our mates, but I couldn’t. This woman… This feisty curvaceous beauty had already captured the heart of me and my wolf and something told us, like a gut feeling that she had to be with us.

“When I come back with our King, will you come to New Moon with me, Jonda Will you stay with me” This time it was me who was sounding hopeful and a little desperate. I think I was falling in love.

“Mike!” She exclaimed twirling in my arms to face me “But, what about…”

“No, shh. I want you and only you. No one else matters. I want to be with you Jonda, I want to see where this goes. If you will have me” I bent down and kissed her lips, lingering for a moment when her arms came up and circled my neck, pushing into me and kissing me with so much passion in a way I wanted to be kissed forever. The heat of the kiss spread warmth through me and when her tongue twined with mine, that heat found its way to my cock. I groaned and pulled away from the kiss “I have to go, and if you keep kissing me like that, we will only end up delaying everyone.” I smiled and packed her lips once more before removing her arms from my neck.

“That’s the idea Beta.” She winked. I groaned again and tilted my head back. I had to go but her womanly ways were making it so hard.

“When I get back here, I promise you, I will not go easy on you. I will have you pleading with me to stop giving you orgasms.” I half-joked, but really I meant every word of it. I was going to fuck this woman until her belly swelled with my pup. The thought made me smile and lick my lips as my eyes roamed over her lush curves, imagining her tummy swollen with our child.

Shit, I had it bad. I palmed my hard member through my pants, adjusting where it sat as it strained against the thin fabric. Willing him to go down and mentally telling myself: when I get back; when I get back after we have saved our King.

“Ok you go play hero, and I will wait here like the good girl, you know that I’m not.” Jeesh this woman was playing with me. She turned her back for a moment and rummaged through a bag in the back of her SUV, When she turned around she handed me a large brick-like-looking phone.

I looked at it curiously “What is this” I questioned her, still examining it.

“It’s called a satellite phone, where you are going there are no cell towers left. After the Humans died, this continent saw no need for them. There were not enough shifters to keep them working. We use these to communicate with our captains and carriers. You can connect to a landline or a cell phone with this, you can pretty much reach anyone all over the world.”

“Huh,” Was all I said, these would actually be handy back in our realm too.

After another long kiss goodbye, I hopped into the truck with Hunji and Tobias. Alpha John, Jonda’s brother had provided us with a few men until ours caught up with us. Also, a few local warriors from an allied pack of the Sea Dogs were accompanying us. It turns out they had had a Beta stolen from their territory around the same time and even if they were a small pack, they wanted their Beta back and were more than happy to provide us with some fighters.

According to Hunji, it was almost a two-day journey to Bhakhil. I had forgotten that he was from this continent and he had once mentioned that he traveled the realm, mostly this continent.

*Two days* I opened up a mind-link to Kellen and included Hunji

*We will be waiting brothers, and Hunji, it’s going to be a blood bath* Hunji didn’t say anything but I saw the tiniest hint of a smirk on his face.

*Hunji is looking forward to it* I said to him laughing, I know Hunji didn’t like to take a life unless it was necessary, but I have also seen how good he is at it. And in the throws of battle, I have seen his eye glimmer like his wolf enjoys the bloodshed. As if there is hidden darkness behind his wall of indifference and only peeks out when he is knee-deep in blood.

It was hot, so fucking hot! I was missing the deep green forest at this point like I never had before. I was even missing the damn Ocean and being on a boat. At least then I was with Jonda and it was cooler. I opened up another bottle of water and chugged half of it down. Then passed a cold one from the cooler to Tobias, who was now driving.

We had been on the road for a day now, Hunji and Tobias had for once, taken sides and yelled at me to shut up because I kept complaining about how hot it was here. Like seriously, I have heard the expression so hot you could fry an egg, but I had never really given it too much thought until now. You could literally crack an egg on any surface of this truck and have an instant fried egg.

“Tell me again why we just couldn’t run in wolf form” I ask Hunji, who turns around to face me in the back seat giving me a look that says ‘what the fuck’

“Mike, your Wolf’s paws would burn on the sand and dirt, plus there is nowhere for you to stop and drink and hardly any wildlife to hunt. Trust me we are better off driving.” He said demolishing my idea, he then turned around and I guess he wasn’t finished because he swung his shoulders around again to face me “And stop complaining! Until you have spent a week in the desert with no food or water, half dead, then you can complain to me.”

That’s right, It’s TOO FUCKING HOT!

Tobias chuckled, “Fuck, when did you two become besties” I jeered, hating being the one they were making fun of. I liked it much better when Hunji and I were making fun of Tobias.

“Don’t be jealous Mikey,” Tobias laughed “We will get your bestie back too. Besides, I have mad respect for Hunji after he dropped me on my ass.” He winked at Hunji “Kinda liked it, Wolfman” He teased the Asiarian Queens Knight who just gave him a low growl.

Tobias was forever cracking gay jokes at Hunji, convinced he was gay because no one ever saw him with a woman. But that was by choice, according to Lamia, who said, according to Tawny, Hunji was defiantly into women.

I looked out the window, It was going to take us until tomorrow to reach the kingdom of Bhakhil, Once we were close, Hunji would alert Kellen and he would direct us where to station ourselves until the time was right. I was hoping our troops would make their presence before Kellen made his move. I liked the idea of stability in numbers, especially as we didn’t have a count on the number of this Alpha Vargr’s army.

The land we traveled through was vast but boring. Miles and miles of bland flat land and sandy dirt surrounded us and I wondered how any pack could live out here. I closed my eyes and listened to the thrum of the engine as we bounced along the dirt path they called a road, Jonda in my thoughts as I tried to get some rest.

However, I have faith in my best friend, our King. If he said he had a plan, I trusted in it. If he said he trusted this future Alpha, I trusted his judgment. I also knew he would do anything to get the future Queen of our kingdom out of there safely. I was excited to meet who the goddess had paired Kellen with, she had to be someone pretty darn special. I could feel it.

KELLEN

Cameron and Jasper had snuck me back to the Gladiator Barracks, leaving me once I had entered the worn and dark building. I hated to be parted from Tala any longer than necessary, but, this is what needed to happen if we were going to tear apart Vargr from the inside. I need my Gladiators in order for this to work.

When I slipped in last night the first person I went looking for was Rogue. I found him sitting alone in Teal’s area. His head in his hands and elbows resting on his knees as he perched on his cot.

“Rogue,” I simply said in a hushed whisper. He shook his head like was trying to get something out of his mind. “Rogue,” I said again louder. This time his head lifted and a look of disbelief was plastered on his face.

As soon as he realized it was really me and I was truly standing in front of him alive and well, he rose to his feet and in two big strides he crossed the small space and brought me in for a tight embrace and clapped my back.

*How is this possible, I watched him die.* I pulled back stunned, my eyes searching his face. It was now me who stood there dumbfounded and not understanding.

Did he, did Rogue just speak to me through a mind-link “Rogue did you… How did you mind-link me” Rogue looked at me confused.

I concentrated and opened a link *Did you mind-link me, can you hear me* I asked him, not feeling any resistance to my attempt at a telepathic conversation.

He jumped back a step in surprise and I knew my voice had filled his head. *You, you can hear me*

I smiled like a Cheshire cat, I had no idea how this was possible, but I was fucking elated. *Your voice sounds nothing like I imagined it would* I laughed at him still conversing telepathically. *How did this happen* I asked him.

*When you died, I felt it.* He looked down in sadness *They Killed Teal, one of the guards told us.*

*Yes, I know* I replied just as sad but with more bitterness mixed into my tone.

*Something else happened when you died that night.* Rogue said looking a little wary.

“What is it” I furrowed my brows, “What else happened Rogue” I spoke out loud this time while he of course used our connection to converse.

*It’s better if I show you,* He said, stepping back and removing his shorts and to my surprise, his body began to shift, his bones quickly rearranging, and in 3 seconds a large and very, very dark brown wolf stood in front of me.

“Holy shit!” I chuckled loudly and then covered my mouth, afraid someone would hear us. “How the fuck is this possible” I whisper and hissed.

‘When we died, he was already pack. When we died, his connection broke to Vargr when we lived our connection lived.’ Conri told me as he stirred and peered through my eyes at Rogues' large wolf form. He was nowhere close to as big as mine, but he was larger than most, Pack Beta size. Only just a bit smaller than Mike's wolf, Duke.

Rogue shifted back into his skin form and put his shorts back on, smiling at me. *My name is Fergus O’Brien, and my wolf is Keltar* Rogue went down on a knee and placed a closed fist over his heart *We live to serve you my King*

I wasn’t sure what to say, if I should be all noble and shit, or just brush it off because in truth I was still trying to hold back a laugh at his name. “Okay Fergus,” I drew his name out with a small chuckle and his head shot up to look at me, a scowl on his face.

“I’m sorry; I just wasn’t expecting that kind of, old realmy name, you know, after calling you Rogue for months.” I apologized. “Let’s get Corey in here and see if giving him my blood does the same thing, if it does, I want to initiate everyone tonight. Either way, in two moons I plan to take over the castle and need my Gladiators in order to make that happen.”

*I am with you King Kellen, no matter what, you will have my support. My wolf and I have pledged our life to you.* He gave me a curt nod and stepped out of the room to go fetch Corey.

Now today was the 21st day of the games, Vargr had of course not canceled anything and things would progress as usual. I was half tempted to walk out there myself to just see the look on his face. But all day I kept telling myself: Just one more day.

Tomorrow night come hell or high water we would take Vargr down.

I had eighteen Gladiators that I was able to initiate last night, and I’ll be damned but each one that became pack was able to link with me. Their chips were still active, so they couldn’t shift, but whatever loophole granted us to be able to communicate mentally, I was thankful for. I didn’t have to understand it; I just had to accept it. This made shit a whole heck of a lot easier.

Two Gladiators went into the ring and only one came out. The one that died was not a great loss. It happened to be one of the men who tried to violate Rogue, one that I had not initiated and had no intentions to.

That night I sat with the Gladiators I had made pack and we went over everyone’s roles, and who would go where. I would be splitting us up into three groups once we reached the palace and sending an allied guard who knew the palace, with them.

The idea was to sneak in and take out anyone in our way until Jasper and I reached Vargr and his Beta. Cameron would be at the front gates with warriors ready to let Mike, Hunji, Tobias, and any other men they bought with him in through the front door.

Once Vargr was disposed of, Jasper would become Alpha and this Kingdom would be his.

Tala would stay hidden with Eloise in the female slave barracks until the battle was over. There was no way neither Jasper nor I wanted them involved in this fight with them not having much training or experience. Eloise was his future Luna and Tala was my Queen.

I wasn’t too worried about Oliver, at this moment, but I wouldn’t hesitate to kill him if I came across him. In fact, I was hoping to finally take my revenge on that piece of shit, for Lamia, for Travis.

I was just disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to rip Jack's head off. I was still a little surprised that it was Oliver who had killed him and jealousy reared its ugly head every time I thought about how it was Oliver who saved my mate.
