Chapter 49: Book 1 : Chapter 49 Life Or Death

November 4th

"How are you still alive?!" Leo said, picking me up by the waist and pulling me into his chest, after scanning my body for injury.

"You have the Praesidium Deae Astra to thank for that," I said.

"You protected yourself?" Leo asked and I nodded.

"Don't sound so surprised," I said, hugging him again.

"Okay, celebration over, these people need leading," Leo said, looking to the chaos that had evolved around us.

"Hey, Christiano!" Leo called, beckoning a man over. "Inform the base of our victory and deploy the paramedics. There are a lot of casualties scattered throughout the territories."

The man nodded and scurried off.

"Alessandro," Leo said to another man. "Order your squadron to take Alpha Haden to the base prison. Ensure there is a doctor there to administer wolfsbane hourly. He must be kept weak."

"Alpha what should we do with the children?" The man asked that had helped save the kids. "They have no other family members."
