"Has Damon processed the transaction of 1.25 million to Sister Cath in New York yet?"

"Just a second my Luna," Leila walked to the bed and bowed down to view the laptop screen. She took a moment to reply. "It's done my Luna. It's in need of her signature before she can access the check though."

"Can you please have my phone brought from my bedside?"

"Of course my Luna." Her ruffled knee high skirt brushed my arm before she could hand me the phone. The black of her full sleeve body suit with baby pink ruffled skirt really enhanced her petite figure and help draw attention to those curves she was finally caring for from my consist disapproval of self negligence. I really did adore those pencil heels of hers with those singular tied bow in the back. Sadly I was left with ordinary flats due to Damon's and Ryan's scolding, as if my ankles were as frail as tracing paper.

We lived in the ever glorious mansion, or as Damon called Romano's Faith Villa, closet to the SilverRose Pack borders. Personally requesting that she move in, Leila obligated joyfully and knowingly it meant going away from her new found family. She acted as if it was nothing better than serving her Luna but truth be told she was no longer ranked Omega and under no obligation to serve me as such being a sister of the Head Beta.

Heck, ranks had no better respect that the trash now thanks to Damon. Entitlements withered away shortly after, therefore creating the mess Damon was working days to resolve while spending nights in bed with me. Those so accustomed to freely exercising their right over their property, females, and power demanded to be compensated in thousands and millions for their 'losses.'

Of course Damon -being Alpha and gifted a lower anger tolerance by the Moon Goddess, saw the only fitting response he deemed necessary. I couldn't even begin to list the number of times I thought I started my period in the shower by seeing the dried blood in between the cracks run down the drain before it'd hit me, I was pregnant and period free for 9 months.

Being newly pregnant reminds me, I had a baby shower, or babies showers in this case to attend. The girls and I decided to cut the weekly hassle of having each baby shower individually. As of right now, we were in the SilverRose Pack and at my of family's farmhouse where in minutes, we were due to hold the shower for the future generation of Alphas, regardless of sex.

Sending the instructions to access the money, I send a long text to Sister Cath hoping it could help brightening some young minds to pursue what keeps their heart ticking without the worry of others. Amen.

After putting both the phone and my most current read The Cruel Prince -Cardan, oh my goodness, -down I decided it was time to get dressed.

I was being dressed in my baby shower gown with Leila's assistance, an off shoulder maroon dress sweeping the floor and floral woven tiara with roses, ivories, and angelic white orchids resting atop my crown with my curled hair parted and swept down my sides. Although I had no visible bum unlike the three, I couldn't help but rub my stomach in the mirror and smile all goofy.

Leila smiled in the back warmly, unable to keep the sadness of being Mateless from showing in her twinkling eyes. My ears perked to the sound of footsteps with a whiff of same old pine cones hurrying to the door. Holding the door, in came padding a happy looking Siberian husky with radiant black transitioning down to white fur and those dreamy glassy blue eyes that could've rendered me to my knees in seconds if it weren't for his flopping tongue hanging out, following a very shy someone.

"Awe, doggy! Oh Damon, how..?" I fall to my knees, stroking the fur and allowing him to lick my face. I hadn't wore makeup except for dark lipstick, eyeliner and neutral eyeshadow. "I just love him."

Dressed in a tuxedo matching to the husky's fur, Damon gave a weak grin and combed his hair boyishly. "I see you two have a soft part for one another."

I gave a blush, itching a spot behind his ear.

"His name's Ollie," Damon bent to the ground, ruffling the fur as Ollie sat wagging his tongue, "His existence wasn't for anyone to know about except for me. He's been here for me when I wasn't myself, but now I'd feel better assured if he were around you Nora to protect you when I can't be. If not for your brothers and me then Kaden would be your prime person to protect you, but if not him then Hunter or Carter. Leila even volunteered but if all fails, Ollie won't."

Two weeks. Took Damon two weeks to finally clean himself up and begin to act like a gentleman; amending his own invented laws, returning lost land taken by deception, restoring female liberty even if it meant defending and arguing countless hours on the phone or FaceTime with his Committee Heads. The handful that did support change were no surprise; Hunter, Kaden, and by my surprise Carter. What was more dumbfounding, was the fact Stephanie -being born a female for what we knew- supported against with Jace and Antanio warped around her finger.

The hurt etched on Damon's face when he learned of this news was saddening, it was as if he had lost a part of himself but it only made him more determine to make his stand. I couldn't help but smirk in the moment. Now was my turn to stand besides Damon as he rose from the embers and not that dumb bimbo's.

Ollie gave a bark, snuggling closer to me and aiding me to my feet by nudging on my hand with his cutely shaped nose although I had 4 other arms enclosed around. His eyes though, I could not get enough of them. I was watching a sea of mystic teal waves crashing into one another and swirling with white reflects of the light.

"Since when have you had him?"

"Since I was born really, we pretty much grew together you know. Mom thought it'd be good moral support if I had a partner to grow old with while awaiting for my Mate. She wasnt lying when she'd told me he'd be the second best thing to happen to me."

I dazed down at Ollie going around and around my feet in circles, holding Damon's forearm. "The first best thing to happen was you Nora."

So this is Damon's secret of not going insane with loneliness all those years besides Stephanie. "Yeah yeah but where was he til now?"

"Mostly in a cottage by this creek side near the capital. He was also the reason you hardly saw me for days at a night," He whispered by my ear sending a shiver down I couldn't overlook. "I wasn't spending nights with any girl or Stephanie. I was with Ollie tending to his needs, talking about you and how you were growing on my senses and I couldn't seem to get you out of my head. He's probably the only one to witness why that place needs all the renovating it does now but that aside, he's your protector from today on."

Damon turned to where Ollie sat as a commander turns to his solider. "You're to be with her you hear that?"

Another singular bark. His enthusiasm received a mere nod from Damon before Damon gave a quick peck and was off to handle some Kaden matters. "My Luna, its time."

"Oh, right. Of course, lets go Ollie," I headed to the door, grinning with Ollie hurrying by my side with a bounce to his strides. Werewolves have always been close to dogs, as we were the different branches to one family tree after all.

Coming around the spiral staircase with my royally maroon court-styled train and into the luxurious parlor room, I awe upon the sight. Decorated with creme ivories, adorning rose petals scattered over table tops with refreshments and flowing curtains of satin, the room glowed with an aura of springtime with the hints of golden traces along the walls gleaming white reflects. It was hard to admire the room when every inch was crowded with werewolves Alpha-Omegas alike dressed in their finest. Some even paused to look as I came down.

Ollie as overwhelmed as me, snuggled closer for protection growling at those who stared longer than necessary. I had rolled my eyes at how familiar his gesture reminded me of another certain someone when I heard some loud laughter from a corner.

Lia was first to come to sight as I had maneuvered through the herd, greeting and thanking the Alphas of my brother's allies. Hair up in a messy bun and dressed in a black lace dress with a plunging V-neck spilling her cleavage and sexy long split, she ran a hand down Jordan's tux sipping her drink. Beside her, I could see Emma's tied back blond hair shaking her head, talking to another being adjacent lowly.

"Won't you look here, here comes the friend who decided to knocked up without telling her bestie about the mind blowing sex," Lia leered, drawing me in for a hug as Jordan choked on his drink.

"Girls seriously talk about that? I thought it happened in books and movies only," He coughed uncomfortably, requiring that Emma pat his back.

Emma's gown was exquisite. In the deepest shade of dark blue satin, the sleeveless blouse as well as the inside folds of her high low skirt both had intricate golden work spiraling upwards while giving the smallest sneak of her midriff. It was as striking as her winged emerald eyes.

"Katarine! Oh mon Dieu, tu es venu," I squeeze her next, rocking our bodies together. Amazing was an understatement. I always knew she had the body of a super model, with her messily layered inky hair, and her gown proved that nicely. Her golden beaded lace gown -as Lia's- exposed her cleavage up some more extent while splitting down a side, with minors cuts down the sides of her shrunken waist.

"Um Nor, you keep forgetting how we haven't all grown in a french household," Jordan injected as we pulled away.

"It's not our fault you keep failing French, it isn't that hard to stay awake if you decided to try," Lia pointed out, frowning at her empty glass.

"How are you Nor?" Emma asked, ignoring Jordan's bickering with Lia about how our school's education is flawed enough when the teacher's make it worse by not teaching properly.

"She actually means how is Damon?" Katarine smirked with a glass to her glossy lips, "She hasn't met him yet and wants to be the judge of his masculinity herself."

"What I mean Katerina Petrova, is does he treat you right Nora? I don't doubt he does to you since you are his Mate but as a friend I cant be sure without seeing myself. I heard about the mating and marking threat, what happened at the wedding and his kiss, and then the accident with the truck crashing into you on his turf, the attack during your Pack appearance where you were thrown off the house. Don't act as if you are clueless about that."

"What attack!" Jordan burst, glaring away from Lia.

"Nora what in hell did you could hide from me this time!" Lia scowled.

"Who died?" Katarine's smirk died to a thin serious frown.

"How'd you know about that Em?" I couldn't recall telling anyone about that. Only Damon, his Heads, my brother's and their Mates knew of what happened that night. Damon had been awfully vague when explaining how a deranged Alpha from a rival Pack attempted to kidnap me to gain leverage. "I never told anyone."

"I heard talk speculating about it happening, or something like that but you confirmed it just now," Emma shrugged, looking somewhat hurt.

"Em," I reach out to hold her hand, "I am so sorry you had to find out like that, I'm sorry to you all. I never intended you all to worry thinking I wasn't safe living with my Mate. Yes he was different at first, cold, detached but most of all hurting for something that happened long ago which he couldn't have changed. He's changed for the better but not completely past it all. We're working on it together and eventually things will have to become better. He's never hurt me physically if that's what's you're all concerned off."

"But emotionally?" Lia said raising an eyebrow.

"Psychologically?" Katarine added.

"Does he have a Christian Grey kink?" Lia gasped.

"Nora?" Jordan asked with worrisome eyes.

"It's different than before, trust me when I say I'm happy now. For real though, I'm pregnant of course I'll be happy!" I exclaim, unable to help myself from thinking am I? I didn't want to be another Aria, lying to herself when the facts were laid out before her to gawk at but chose to be blind too for too long. "And no, althought I did suspect he did at once."

"Geesh this generation I tell you. 16 and pregnant, what's next? Substance abuse? Illegal gang stripping? Alcohol drowning?" Lia rambled as her old self.

"Wall humping," Katarine suggested nonchalantly, winning an approval nod from Lia.

From below came a loud bark, reminding me I wasn't alone.

"Who is this little guy?" Jordan crouched to the ground, ruffling Ollie's fur when he lunged forward with a snarl, throwing Jordan off his feet and onto the ground.

"That is Damon 2.0, my guard buddy while he's away. Excuse him, he likes his meat raw if you know what I mean," I gaze helplessly down at my partner yelping at my feet. He barely made it to my knees and I was short. He was too adorable for his own good I swear.

The girls were laughing loudly at Jordan's baffled expression to notice my departure. Leila wasn't anywhere to been seen, well not until my eyes caught her by the entrance with Hunter and Kaden. Hunter was in a neatly done white dress shirt with matching black trousers and a blazer. Kaden was in a similar attire as Hunter except that his shirt was tighter, straining against his bulging arm muscles with a black striped tie tucked into his clinging vest and his blazer forgotten around his hand.

"Luna Nora, you look splendid!" Hunter awed, taking my hand to his lips like the gentleman he was.

"Pregnancy suits you," was all Kaden replied.

"I will be asking you that right after I puke my guts out on your million dollar Armani suit," I said rather plainly, turning back to an amused Hunter and giggling Leila.

"Who is this little guy?" Hunter asked.

"Oh Leila don't-" I was too late. Her skirt already swept to the ground when calling forward a leaping Ollie who ran into her embrace, licking her face affectionately as he had done to me. I couldn't help but smile at the sight. "Huh, he nearly bit Jordan's eye out like a piranha and now he's like a teddy bear to you. Really Ollie!"

"Jordan who?" Kaden asked, slipping his hands to his pockets and peering into the room as if he were expecting a person holding a banner directing him to them.

"Zayn's Beta stupid. You have left to meet them. Follow me," I sigh, feeling the effects of carrying two zygotes already. My lower back ached, and I had to ease the ache by holding it. Turning my heel I guide them around the bodies of people when I stumbled forward into the arms of another who catch me gracefully.

"Prudent petit. Tu es enceinte maintenant," Ryan's Beta, André scolded.

"Ne commence pas!" I groan tiredly, already regaining my footing before he could hold my sore back any longer.

"André. This is Kaden Damon's Beta, Hunter his brother and Damon's Delta, and Leila their sister," I introduce gesturing to each of them in English.

"Très belle," He drew Leila's hand forward for a peck without breaking their eye lock as Hunter had previously done with me. Something flickered within Hunter's pupils; was it hurt? Anger? Detest? Jealously?

"Où est Angès?" I asked, looking around to find her among the crowd.

"Où d'autre?" André sighed holding up a purple clutch gloomily. "Salle de bains."

"Continuez," The grin just appeared itself as I went around him with the others trailing behind.

"Now I realize how you must have felt back in our Pack my Luna," Leila blushed again, brushing some strands of her hair behind her ear. "With us always chattering away in Italian."

"Please Leila, tonight it's Nora to you."

Our Pack. Maybe it was now ours.

For some odd reason as we walked on and closer, I heard two simultaneous growls boom from behind. Twirling around the best I could without tripping on my train, Hunter's and Kaden's eyes both lustered with obsidian. Leila was halted in her tracks just behind them, regarding the ground with dazed eyes as she mouthed the word Mate.

Before I could even the mouth the words to ask, Kaden growled again as Lia swept past by me as a blur and leaped into his arms like a flying toad. Jordan took his launch next at enfolding Leila in his arms, gasping with relief as her knees bucked holding onto her Mate with glassy eyes. Unfortunately, Hunter hadn't even taken a step forward to his Mate with his hands outstretched when Katarine pushed herself past his arms and around to grab another fluke from a passing waiter. Disappointed and whimpering from denial, Hunter stared helplessly as the Mate of his dreams, in her golden gown, stalk away without regarding a glance.

"Hunter?" I call lowly, trying to ignore the fact that all my best friends were giving their Mates sloppy wet smooches. His face appeared to be contoured with thinking as to what had gone wrong. "Hey, give her some time okay? I'll be back."

His eyes drifted to off where his Mate had disappeared into the crowd, not bothering to acknowledge my gesture of squeezing his shoulder hopefully.

It wasn't hard trying to locate that bitch, here was only oh-so many places a bitch could be at my baby shower. This is not what I expected of her.

"Toi! DEHORS MAINTENANT," I snarl angrily in French at the male seated on the outdoor bar stool next to Katarine. He was smart to scurry away as if he were to hung up by his ears.

"Nora, Nora, pourquoi ne pas me laisser profiter?" Katarine gulped her wine boredly, spinning her stool around, feet crossed and pencil strapped heels sticking out.

"Cut the crap, what was that back here huh? You hurt him," I fume.

"And I hurt him and his wolf yes, yes I know Nor."

"Why though! He isnt despicable or rude or stinks, I can vouch for that personally. Don't you want a loving Mate to care for you or hold you when you're feeling low? Don't you want to experience the miracles of the bond between you both? Because you'd be lying if you didn't."

"Nor really. I appreciate you standing up for him, I never assumed he was despicable or rude or stinks. It is not him, it's me. I can't hold relationships for long you know. I've never been attached to any male longer than necessary and having a Mate changes that. I grew up alone in a house of 4 walls with no windows and now I want to live without clipping myself. Nor, I want this to work that's why I'm stepping away," She reached out to hold my hand sadly.

"So you're rejecting him?" I frown.

"Heavens no. I'm still the same selfish me as back in high school." She grinned warmly, taking the now filled glass to her rosy lips.

"So let me get this straight. You want him to remain after you as you catch and bed other males? Katarine what is wrong with you! You weren't this cruel before! What happened to the girl who'd be caught day dreaming of her Mate in Biology or the girl who could be found with condoms in her binder for if she met her Mate? He doesn't deserve that from you or anyone, he's too frail and caring for that. It'll break him beyond repair. You're right, you're a selfish bitch to ask for that of him and expect him to be alright with what you choose." My voice reverberated getting the attention of those around us. I continued to glare at her for some human to surface until my disgust became to much too bare and I left her sad ass to her margarita.

Stomping away, I was coming out of the outdoor patio and inside to where the gang was when two new bodies decided to show up. "Jace, Carter. Don't you two have an appointment grooming Stephanie's nails today?"

"My Luna," they both chided automatically with a bow until, like Hunter and Kaden had, their eyes sparked pitch black with a thundering growl. I turn from their ravenous glare to the sight of my best friend Emma staring at them both with frightfully wide eyes and a gaping mouth full of sweets.

"You have to be seriously fucking me," I curse curling my fist.

"I haven't even began, where do I start?" Damon purred by my ear, stroking my neck with his face and a hand wrapped around my waist and another in his pant's pockets. I had to smack his face for him to see the scene unfolding before us. "Looks like someone has duo Mates."

"What in the hell is that?" Lia asked, coming around with a smug looking Kaden pressing her to his side protectively. Damon rose an eyebrow curiously at Kaden when he gestured to Damon's arm on my lower back with his eyes, pulling Lia closer than she was already. Boys I tell you...

"When someone is gifted with two Mates instead of one by the Moon Goddess herself, its extremely rare but they say it's a sign of good luck." Leila filled in with a puppy-looking Jordan admiring her and her every word as he held her waist from behind.

"So if one happens to dies for some reason or no reason at all, the other can take his spot and fulfill the duties of producing heirs," Ryan smiled innocently, appearing alone and earning a kick to his knees from Emma despite her flowing gown and ten inch heels, landing him to his knees and a seriously neck cracking headlock.

"Is she..?" -Damon whispered alarmingly, as they all gathered closer.

"Well duh! How else Id survive with 3 brothers Monsieur Alpha?" I cry outrageously, struggling to get out of his threatening embrace.

"I have one of my own, an Alpha as well like the Xavier sort. It's like trying to survive on those T.V survival show, but inside your house." Emma rolled her eyes, releasing a paled Ryan rendered to his feet, heaving, as Emma swatted herself away from the bickering boys to go to the lady's room.

"Get your own shrink asshole, she is mine!"

"She aint going with a vomited eyed weasel like yourself!"

"Unlike you at least God took his time creating me. Besides Im better equipped to satisfy her needs being Head Gamma."

"You want to go for a try out in the back!"

"What is a backyard for if not for fighting?" Kaden snorted.

"Can this day get any worse?" I question myself messaging my temple.

"Hey," Damon had twirled me around to face him while the rest chatted among themselves and the two males kept throwing empty threats of starting a fight. "What is it mio amore? Does your head hurt, do you need your bed?"

"Yes but no thank you. This is my baby shower too Damon, I cant bail."

"We can host another if you want to rest now. Here, allow me," He laces our finger together, drawing me awfully close to his face to the point I could feel his breathe warming mine with our eyes only centimeters apart. With his lips lingering against my forehead for awhile, I feel his warmth easing the tension building in my temple.

My breathe held. My heart shuddered, I was feeling lighter than I had in a while. The moment was too perfect to be true. To prove it, it was not long before the sound of shattering glass and loud warning roars stirred the crowd. "Attaque!"

Rogues. We were under attack by rouges in strange masks by what Dylan informed June and I. Actually all Dylan said was we were under attack. June filled the rest herself. Damon covered me with his body as we fled to prevent me from getting harmed. Reaching a safe spot he instantly took his coat off to cover my back with it once we were behind a solid pillar. "Damon?"

"Are you hurt in any way?" He panted as if he were trying to contain Dylan. I knew he was referring to our to-be children inside me.

"N-no, but please Damon, Dylan," I clutch his chest, looking hard at him with worry. "Be careful. I need you both."

"Stay with Ollie, don't leave here!" Was all I could hear before he darted to where the shouts could be heard from. With a back pressed to the pillar, I close my eyes and inhale the last few breathes of Damon's sickly sweet scent before I could tell it was gone. Ollie was restless, going around in every way as if he were on full alert and guard duty.

1 minute. 3 minutes. 5 minutes. The screams didn't end, neither did the exchanges of growls. No one responded to my mind links, no one ran by where I was. There were footsteps hurrying but no one near me. I had straighten myself when June caught a few dozen pairs of footsteps directed to me from behind where I stood. Ollie snarled, baring his teeth.

I sucked my breathe, clutching my dress, and praying to the Moon Goddess when the bundle of bed messy dark hair now armed with a black bow notched with a single golden feathered arrow came around the corner.

"What are you doing here?" I manage to say after each body came into sight from around Hunter's.

"Certainly not taking you for brunch." Kaden beat a bloody Carter, who stood opposite of murderous Jace.

"B-but your Mates?" I stutter hopelessly and rather stupidly. I could've sworn I saw Hunter grimace from the corner of my eyes."Where is Damon?"

"Handling the problem as always darling," Kaden replied sharply.

"Nora, overthinking and stressing isn't something someone in your condition should do," Dr. O'Brien said, sharing a more concerned look with an indifferent Antonio who murmur in return. Ollie growled more so at him.

"Go to him! He can't do this alone."

"He isn't alone Nora," Hunter assured softly, "He has your brothers with him. Your sister-in-laws are safe and we're taking you to them on his behalf. He'd want you safe first."

"Nora Lia's awaiting for you. Let's go," Jordan brought me to his arms, allowing me to lean myself against him as I walked. I hadn't even known I was trembling until I pressed myself to his steady figure.

Just as I had taken the first step, Ollie growled and charges to sink his canines into the leg of Antonio. "Cazzo this damn mutt!"

Little did he know, the pain crippling him to duck had saved his head from being decapitated by metallic razor like talons. Carter being in close proximity swung his feet as the face, his feet smashing teeth.

Drawing me closer and shielding my side with his own body, Jordan didn't wait for Kaden to tell him to run. Hunter was notching arrows faster than he could aim while Carter and Jace were both in combat with the same altered rogue.

Jordan rushed me as Dr.O'Brien covered my other side, Kaden bringing up the rear as he gulped the final gulp of his amber concoction before hurling the glass at the face of other rogue who began trailing. With a limping bloody knee, Antonio was also helplessly following him with a madly wagging Ollie behind his tail.

A wolf emerged through the door we hurried towards. Halting, Jordan leaped and shifted midair, his finery bursting into shreds as he attempted to distract the wolf by making false attempts of attack and drawing him further away from the entrance.

Running the best I could -which wasn't good enough, Dr.O'Brien extended his talons and tore through the fabric of my train. "Thank you."

"You're welcome but just don't mention it to your Mate," he helped me up the last few steps. I paused to look back and regretted it instantaneously. My stomach churned with how badly the room was trashed; scarlet blood wetted the white marble floor, bloody handprints stamped the flowing curtains while the breeze blew, bodies torn open with their intestines spewing in plain sight.

The stench of silver didn't help either. I retched before I could realize and luckily for me, Dr.O'Brien was by my side holding my hair from mixing with the strangely coloured vomit. "I was hoping you'd not turn around."

"You think our princess could resist?" Kaden drawled, sprinting up the steps with a flask.

"Say another word and you're the next target for whatever comes out of my mouth," I snap, holding a hand to my head breathlessly. My world was spinning on its axis and to say my throat was parched was an understatement.

"What is it Nora?" Dr.O'Brien furrowed his brows at the sight of me heaving for breathe.

"I'd rather we not have this discussion here among genetically altered wolfs as baits," Kaden said, drawing Dr.O'Brien's attention to who surrounded us. To his prove his words, we were being encircled by murderous looking rogues with blood dripping from their teeth.

Kaden and Dr.O'Brien covered me from all 360, not launching into attack mode until a few dozen wolfs were taken down by some glinting arrows with golden feathers.

I stood helplessly watching them kill and trying not to be killed. When I saw the window of opportunity to book it -when Kaden had shifted to wolf and Dr.O'Brien was using a metal candle stick to blind his opponents, I hitch my skirt and run out the doors to the open.

I knew the boys could care for themselves. Even Dr.O'Brien who would spent more time in a hospital than gym. Everyone in the SilverRose Pack is required and subjected to at least two years in battle combat in both human and wolf form but again it varied to occupation.

I was in the midst of the forest when my ears heard the crunching of footsteps enter the land. Intuitively June was suppose to take control for our safety but for some reason she left it in my hands to flee for our life.

From the other side a bush rattled. I grab the closest stick as a stake, arming myself as I take cover by a tree's bark. "Please don't let me fuck this up." I whisper to the Moon Goddess.

I count 4 wolfs and unveil myself with a spin, aiming for under the front feet to where the heart laid in the square of the chest or the vulnerable pressure points such as the neck, eyes, and so on.

They struck but not before I could aim every blow. As I staked the heart of one, another took the advantage to swipe at my unprotected belly.

The move was unsuccessful by Ollie snarling and digging his teeth into the arm. His black white fur was streaked down with blood as if he had a roll in a blood bath. Despite being hardly up to my knees, he encircled and fought the fully grown wolf like a predator, taking one rogue of my mind. Bless his soul.

Being so caught up with watching for Ollie, I trip over an outgrown tree root and fall to my knees.

The final rogue's darkened eyes met mine.

My ankle stung when I tried to rise, and I collapsed to the earthen ground once more. If expressions could be deciphered in words, he looked smug about a Luna fallen before him. As if he were to take his time to kill.

I watch helplessly as he does so. There was no twig, stone or even a few pebbles I could use to defend myself with. Ollie wasn't around either, another old similarity to his owner.

"Are you going to murder me or what you dumb son of a bitch," I seethe, gripping the grass below with a tight fist.

He growled, ready to take his bite when something slice the air from past my ear. There was a faint whiz before I could see the golden tipped arrow bury itself in the heart of his chest. The rogue dropped dead just as I felt my name being called from behind. I was on the verge of turning my head but it was too late anyway, I was knocked unconscious from behind.

...
