Dawn of the Alpha (4 page)

XIII.

They packed up after the midday meal, deer steaks, and started south across the fields. It was slower going with the full wagons over the rough terrain but a few miles down they found the gravel grid roads. Anne had been right about the house and she took everyone in rotation to use the shower and toss all the spare clothes through the wash. They all felt a lot closer to normal, to human, now and with fresh meat and water the complaining stopped again.

It was only a matter of time, Roxanne knew, before the complaining would not be so easily silenced. They had to find safety, and they had to find it before the group splintered under the stress. She heard Damian shouting orders up at the front of the group as they all clambered up onto the gravel road and she smiled.

‘Let him be in charge,’
she thought.
‘Let him bark orders and silence the arguments. He’s good at it, they respect him. He’ll keep us safe and I’ll keep him safe from himself.’

They followed the grid roads west and south until sunset and all the while Anne was watching the people and the surroundings. An idea was forming in her mind but she had to find the perfect place or it would never work.

The Alphas: New Beginning

Ryan and Sean had never met before the war but their past experiences got them both named to Anne’s security team. After two weeks of trading off the night watch and standing guard together the two bachelors have become friends.

They stop in the middle of nowhere for the night and for the first time encounter another group of wandering refugees. Neither Ryan nor Sean had any family to look for but they mingle with this new group anyway, and in the process meet Pauline.

Pauline was quickly turning hard and cynical under the weight of simply surviving in the post-war world. Can her chance meeting with Ryan and Sean save her hardening heart? Can she trust any man enough to be saved?
