I was losing my mind, two godforsaken days since I've last seen her walk by that window...yet, we still haven't made a move. What are we waiting for? We've spent the past two days training and strategizing our attack, needing to plan accordingly.
Rico wants little to no casualties when we strike, so we have to be both mentally and physically prepared to take on Marco's pack. Let's not forget Marco's been training them to be ruthless killers. Some of the guys from the Manzanares pack aren't cut out for war.
Being from such an enormous pack, some of the guys weren't raised as fighters. Royals have a chosen army of wolves raised specifically to fight. But, we knew we were going to need a hell of a lot more then fifty wolves to get Lise back.
"Again!" I shouted angrily pacing back and forth, staring at the line of wolves sparring in front of me. Each pair coming to a halt, they separated from one another only to prepare for attack once again. This earned me a few dirty glares, I'd be staring at myself the same way. I felt like an Army drill-sergeant. They've been going at it all morning, but it still doesn't seem good enough.
I had to give these guys credit though, they volunteered out of the kindness of their own hearts to help us get Lise back. Each of the fifty wolves before me pledged their loyalty to their Princess. We had a lot more offers, but a hundred wolves should be sufficient along with the rest of us.
As Alpha's Rico, Troy, and I stood in our human form observing the group. We trained them to the best of our ability, but deep down in the pit of my stomach I knew we would never be prepared for what lies ahead.
Alonso, Luke, and Andre were still perched up high on the mountain keeping watch over Marco's house. Having past experience dealing with rogues when we tried rescuing Mia, Axel, Jett, Gabe, and Jordan were giving the guys pointers on how to go in for the kill.
Marco's been training his wolves for the past couple years, these guys have only been at it for two days. It’s hardly enough time to learn more than just the basics, which is why I have to be extra hard on them. Can't let them think things will be sweet once we initiate our attack on Marco.
We planned on attacking right before dawn, hopefully they'll all still be asleep. We're almost positive Marco will suspect we'll attack at night like we did before...that is if he even has the slightest idea we're watching him at all.
"Let's give them a break. We'll pick up again after lunch for another hour, then they need to rest." Rico announced with a sigh. I know he's feeling the same exact way I am, stressed. Nothing will be good enough in our eyes. Lives without a doubt will be lost if they continue fighting the way they are...we need to avoid that at all costs. Lise will be devasted if anyone gets hurt trying to rescue her.
