composure. She reached for her sword which never went too far away from her bed since the rogues started attacking and picked up her boots. The noise outside intensified and s

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. "Let me pass, I have orders to shout to the men out there by the Alpha", She told the guard at the door. He looked at her skeptically but then, the situation at hand did not need him to scrutinize any one amongst them too much.

The men had only seen her as one among the many soldiers fighting, they had been too engrossed with the task at hand to pay her close attention and see that she was not just one of their soldiers, but the daughter of the Alpha. 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
