The Vanguard project was never sanctioned by the council, so it was all volunteer based. 'I didn't deliberately keep it from you, to be honest I forgot all about them. 'Baby, please calm down, you'll make yourself sick.' Ryuu released her and Meryn collapsed into Aiden's arms. She glared at him for two seconds before bursting into tears.Īiden moved forward, waving his hands around his mate, not knowing what to do. Manpower is so scarce I had to restructure your entire training system just to get rookie trainees distributed to speed up the training process and you mean to tell me you have hundreds, fucking hundreds of trained unit warriors around the country that you haven't told me about?' Meryn gasped for air. 'You want an explanation? Fine! How about this for an explanation? Lycaonia is slowly being invaded by ferals we've been attacked not once, but twice. 'Can someone please explain?' Aiden boomed. 'We would never knowingly upset either of you my love.' 'You all can't be that thick?' Beth demanded, turning an angry look to her mate. 'Meryn, you need to calm down and tell us why you're so upset!' Aiden said, concern etched over every inch of his face. 'I'm going to fucking stab you!'Īiden jumped back as Ryuu brought his arms up under Meryn to keep her from stabbing her mate. 'Aiden!' Meryn turned back to Aiden and picked up a fork. 'More than that, at least one per state, for sure.' 'So like, maybe, I don't know, five or ten squads?' Meryn asked. 'Yes, I've heard them talk about many different cities.' 'You say they're all across the country?' Meryn prompted. 'You said your brothers are part of this Vanguard squad?' she asked. 'Understand me? Understand me!' Meryn yelled jumping to her feet again. 'I never understand you,' his voice was muffled by the table.
