There were two more days left to go until the Black Lotto Ceremony was set to take place. I heard from Sharry that my Mom was gearing up for a war with the Steel Armor Pack. That didn't surprise me because she was going to send hunters after me. Sharry did tell me that she broke her Oath to the Coven and she's a Solitary Witch now. She also told me about her plans to move to a different state and probably join another Coven from there. I wished her good luck and told her that she could visit the pack any time she wanted.
Tyler and I made sure that Justin was training the strongest warriors in the pack, getting them ready for battle. Tyler still wouldn't let me train regardless of the upcoming war. So instead I looked up the blueprints for the temple of the god named No Name. No Name is the god that the IronClad Coven worships. I remember the first time I found out what the god's name that the coven worships. I couldn't help but think what a dumb name that is for a god.
I mean seriously? Who the fuck worships a god who's name is No Name? One would think that a god with that type of a "name" would have no one worshiping him but he does.
Seeing that most of the attacks have happened on the borders that were by the IronClad Coven borders, we've concentrated most of the warriors there. But we didn't leave other areas of the pack lands unguarded.
I was in Tyler's office going over the blueprint for the temple that I was going to destroy. The plan is that once my best warriors breach enemy lines I would go and summon a gate and get to the temple. But before I would go to the temple I would have to capture Mom in order to drag her back to pack grounds so I can execute her once the temple has been destroyed.
If everything goes according to plan then the coven will be disbanded and every witch within the coven will be free to do whatever they wish to. I'm very happy for Sharry breaking her oath and now she's free as a bird.
"So what do we have so far?" Tyler asked.
"Hmm I'm thinking about placing warriors here, here and here," I said as I pointed at several different areas on the map.
He nodded in agreement. "We also need to make sure the women and children are guarded by the strongest warriors in the pack. I know we have a lot of them placed by the borders already but the safety of the women and children who can't fight for themselves is important."
I smiled. "Yes I totally agree with that. So that seems to be everything for the moment. I also have a couple of our people working on the bombs that will be transported with me to the temple once we breach enemy lines."
"Yup, and last time I checked the progress is going pretty fast so hopefully those bombs are good enough to destroy a whole temple," Tyler said.
I nodded but before I could say anything Theo burst into the room. He was clearly panicked about something.
"What is it Theo? What's wrong?" Tyler asked.
"There's an army waiting at the pack borders for the IronClad Coven!" Theo said.
Tyler and I exchanged a look of surprise and said, "What!"
Theo nodded. "Yes, they are there and Luna Trinity's Mom is in the front demanding that Luna Trinity come face her!"
I looked at Theo and then at Tyler. Tyler seemed to know exactly what I was thinking.
"Well tell Trinity's Mother that what she is demanding isn't possible for the moment. If she wants a war then she's going to get one!" Tyler ordered.
Theo bowed and left the room.
"Welp, it's time for us to get ready for war," I declared.

I sat down at my desk in my office finalizing the plans I had for the war I was getting ready to start. I had received orders from No Name to start planning this war. I couldn't help but smile because I was going to see Mary soon. I was going to see her and I wondered what she looked like now that she was a Luna of the Steel Armor Pack. I bet she's so much stronger than what she was the last time I saw her.
If I can beat a powerful witch like her, that means I can get bragging rights. However I do have some doubts about taking Mary on but I'm going to do it regardless of my doubts.
"Ma'am?" I heard my assistant named Tilly say.
I looked up at her. "Yes?"
"Are the plans ready to go? No Name's asking for them," Tilly said.
I nodded. I got up from my desk and handed a copy of the plans that I had for the war over to her. "They're ready to go. All we need to do now is declare war…"

{Andrew}
Spending time with my mate turned out to be quite an adventure. But the very next day after I went on a date with her I received word from the Steel Armor Pack that Trinity's Mom had declared war on the pack and were at their borders now.
I wanted to stay in bed with my mate but the fact that there was a war going on and it involved my daughter I had to go help. As a matter of fact, Selene was the one who encouraged me to go help and I got the go ahead from Dad to go help.
As soon as I arrived at the Steel Armor Packs gates a couple of Tyler and Trinity's warriors greeted me. I noticed that the pack looked like a ghost town now and I'm going to assume that the women and children who can't defend themselves were in the safe house.
I was escorted into Tyler's office and Trinity was there along with him and they looked like they were deep in thought planning things down to a T. I knocked on the door even though it was open. They turned their attention to me. Trinity ran up to me and hugged me. "Dad!"
I chuckled, "I'm here, so what have you guys got planned yet?"
Trinity went back to the desk and motioned for me to look at the map she and Tyler had set up. "Well we already have our warriors in place in certain areas of concern and on the front lines."
Tyler nodded. "Not to mention we have some of our people making bombs that Trinity can use to destroy the temple and once that's done we'll move in to capture the leader who is Trinity's mother. And once we kill her and Trinity breaks her oath to the coven, the coven will be disbanded and it's game over. That is, if everything goes according to plan of course."

"Okay first of all Trinity, are you nuts? You're pregnant, you can't-" I started.
"First of all don't ask me if I'm nuts because I think you already know the answer to that question," Trinity cut me off. "Second, did you forget that I'm a Celestial so the babies will do everything they can to protect me?"
"Yeah no, even if that's the case my pregnant daughter isn't going to blow up a temple! no way!" I said.
"But Dad, this is something I need to-" Trinity said.
I shook my head. "No buts young lady! Okay how about this, I'll go to destroy the temple. I'll drag your mother here and you can execute her then. I'll just need two of your best warriors to cover me when we breach enemy lines."
Trinity groaned, "Are you sure you want to do that? You don't have babies in your belly protecting you."
I rolled my eyes. "Do you really think I've never been in a battle or something? I've been in several battles thank you very much and a couple of them with near death experiences. So I'll be fine. Just trust me on this, okay?"
Trinity sighed, "Okay Dad, I trust you."
I nodded. "Alright, I'm headed to the front lines now."
Trinity hugged me and Tyler hugged me next.
"Stay safe," Tyler said. "I would go with you but-"
"I know you're protecting your mate and your pups," I said. "You stay safe as well. If anyone gets in here, you'll probably be the best protector ever!"
With that, I headed out to the front lines where the battle was already taking place.
***
Once I got to the front lines there was a rather horrific sight! Quite a few of the Steel Armor Pack's warriors and their allies' warriors were dead but there were three times as many witches that were dead on the battlefield.
This war was caused by the most hateful and spiteful woman ever. Trinity's mother has a lot of blood on her hands now and I'm not going to let her get away with this. I'm going to capture her and drag her back to the pack so Trinity could kill her.
Uh Dad? Trinity thought through the mindlink.
Yes? I responded.
Can you do me a favor and instruct the remaining warriors to capture the remaining witches alive. There's something important that needs to be done after this war. Trinity thought.
I did as Trinity asked of me to and the two best warriors that had been sent with me covered my back. Their names were Nina and Troy.
As I was running and killing as many witches as I could, I paused when I heard three arrows coming towards me. I pulled my sword out so fast Nina and Troy didn't have time to blink. I managed to slice the arrows in half and Nina and Troy paused with their fighting and looked at me in awe.
I rolled my eyes. "Don't stand there and gawk at me! Keep fighting! We're not going to make it past enemy lines if we don't keep going!"
They nodded and did as they were told. When I got towards the enemy's front lines I shifted into Nick and he ran as fast as he could. He didn't mean to but he left the two warriors who were covering us behind because of how fast he was running.
Once Nick got to the temple he paused and looked around. Where do you think she would be?
I don't know. I thought. I didn't have to go very far when I saw her.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my ex-mate Prince Andrew!" She growled.
Nick snarled when he saw her.
"Oh that's right!" Alice said with a snide look on her face. "You can't talk when you're in your wolf form. It's a shame we can't use the mindlink anymore. I felt the mate bond completely break a few years ago. It's an even bigger shame that I didn't know you were a Prince! If I'd known I probably would've stayed with you!" She paused and gave me an evil smirk. "Now why don't you shift so we can talk and catch up for old times sake?"
Nick growled and his hackles went up as roared at her. There's no way in hell I'm letting that gross woman see you naked! Nope, it's not happening!
Yeah all this woman wants is power and I'm glad I didn't tell her that I'm a Prince! I saw her true colors the very moment she cheated on me! I thought.
"What's the matter?" She mocked, "Wolf got your tongue?"
Okay that's it! Nick snarled and he lunged at Alice and she dogged his attack with ease.
She snickered. "Oh come on, I know you can do better than that! What kind of-"
Nick didn't wait for her to finish her taunts when he lunged at her again and this time he pulled out his sword. She started casting spells and a lot of the spells she casted I remembered how to get out of. Thank goodness I trained with a Solitary Witch who knew a lot about dark magic and the type of magic the IronClad Coven uses. I did that as soon as I found out that Alice was my mate and what coven she was from.
Nick was able to use our sword to deflect most of Alice's attacks and if I didn't know any better I'd say he was actually enjoying the fight. Finally right when it seemed like we were evenly matched Nick got the upper hand and threw our sword at Alice and it pierced her side. Before she could get a chance to recover he used the butt of our sword to knock Alice out.
Once he knocked Alice out we picked her up and carried her back to the Steel Armor pack. I captured the IronClad Coven's leader so I say that this war is over with.

It was a good thing that I had managed to get all seventy-one spirits out of me and shut down the prison that I had them in before the war started. If that hadn't happened I would be in some deep trouble! Now I'm just waiting for triplets to be born.
I hope that Dad was doing alright on the battlefield and that the temple would be destroyed soon.
"Don't worry," Tyler said, trying his best to console me, "Your Dad's fine I just know it."
I nodded but that didn't keep my anxiety and fear away. It wasn't until I heard three loud booms! I looked out the window to see smoke coming from the IronClad Covens borders and that signaled to me that the temple had been destroyed. Even if the leader hadn't been captured yet the temple being destroyed signals the war was over.
"Well at least the war is over now," I said.
As soon as I said that, Theo came into the room and he looked excited about something. "Your Dad has captured the leader of the IronClad Coven! He's bringing her to the dungeons now! And he'll probably need a change of clothing when he gets back."
Tyler nodded. "Send a couple of servants to the dungeons to give him a change of clothing and now that the war is over with, send the Omegas to collect the dead bodies from our pack and our allies. Have them leave the witches' bodies out on the battlefield."
"Yes Alpha!" Theo said and he hurried out the room.
I turned to Tyler and raised an eyebrow. "Leave the dead witches' bodies out on the battlefield? Why?"
"Because it's a custom in our pack to leave the dead enemy's bodies out on the battlefield," Tyler explained. "If there is any left after the funeral services for our fallen warriors the fallen warriors family's can either choose to avenge them or leave them alone. A lot of times avenging the fallen warriors' family involves cooking the dead enemies' body and eating them or killing the enemy if they're still alive. Sometimes a fallen warrior's family will choose not to eat a dead enemies' body and they go after the next of kin and kill them instead."
"Oh," I said. I looked away when I felt the tears build up in my eyes and I started crying.
Tyler pulled me into his arms again and I could hear him sobbing. We shared our heartbreak for our fallen warriors with each other. I couldn't stop crying and Tyler couldn't stop crying either. After time seemed to stretch on forever we finally stopped crying and pulled ourselves together.
There was a knock on the door. Tyler cleared his throat and croaked, "Come in!"
Theo came in with a somber look on his face. He bowed his head. "Alpha, Trinity's Dad is at the dungeons; he has the leader of the IronClad Coven, secured and in silver chains."
Tyler nodded. "Okay tell him I'm on my way." He turned his attention to me. "Do you wanna come with me?"
I nodded. "Sure, there's no way I'm gonna miss out on torturing her! She's the reason this whole war started. She's too much blood on her hands to be able to see the light of day ever again."
"Okay Theo, tell him that Trinity and I are on our way," Tyler said.
Theo bowed his head. "Yes, Alpha."
As soon as Theo left, Tyler and I followed suit. I can't speak for Tyler but I couldn't wait to get my hands on my mother and punish her for her evil actions. She needs to pay and the sooner she does the better.
