The house was on fire. Nothing around them was safe. Alpha Michael Night has a choice to make. Save his daughter or his mate. The thought of a possible traitor within his pack wasn't even on his mind right now. All he could hear was his pounding heart, he could feel the burning of his flesh that came with an awful scent.

"Save her..." Luna Victoria Night choked out. Her lungs were full of unwanted smoke, making it hard to breathe. She couldn't move, the flames had burnt her body too much. "Save Odette."

"What about you?" Alpha Michael questioned, pain and fear in his voice that he didn't even try to conceal. He knew the answer, he didn't want to hear it.

"I'll be fine." Luna Victoria Night lied, Alpha Michael Night shook his head but his mate gave him a pointed look and shot her eyes towards their young five-year-old daughter who had already fallen unconscious due to the smoke and flames.

Rushing over to the young girl he picked her up gently, pulling his daughter closer to his body for further protection.
Alpha Michael Night took one last glance at his mate who looked at him with sad eyes, silently saying goodbye.

--¦--¦--¦--¦--

"Ahh, there you are my precious boy?" Luna Veronica Grey smiled affectionately towards her son, her large pregnant belly sticking out as she leans down to embrace her son.

"Veronica be careful!" Her mate, Alpha Martin Grey whines at his mate.

"I'll be fine, just fine." Luna Veronica Grey brushes off her mate's words.

"You could give birth any day now, you should not be wandering around, by yourself." Alpha Martin Grey demands his protective side which is mostly led by his wolf showing clearly.

"I'm okay Martin." Luna Veronica Grey sighs.

"Mom, maybe you should sit down." Asher Grey, the 14-year-old child of Alpha Martin Grey and Luna Veronica Grey, suggests.

"I think that's a splendid idea, why don't you join me?" Luna Veronica Grey suggests. She knew what she was doing as did her mate. Their son was the only one oblivious to his mother's motives.

"He can't Veronica, he has training and schooling." Alpha Martin Grey protests.
For as long as Asher can remember his parents had been this way. His mother would always argue that his father was pushing him too hard. While his father thought he wasn't working hard enough. His father had never been proud of him. Asher hoped one day that would change.

"I will not be sitting without my son." Luna Veronica Grey demands, with a sigh Alpha Martin Grey reluctantly agrees.

Asher helps his mother over to a small bench, not far from where he and his father had been walking. They sit and talk for hours until his mother's face turns to one of shock and pain.

"Asher the baby's coming..." Luna Veronica Grey exclaims. Asher mind-links his father and the pack doctor, they quickly arrive and take his mother away to give birth to the newest members of the pack.

Hours later and Asher is still sat outside his mother's delivery room. He hadn't heard anything about his mother's condition or the condition of the babies, even without his wolf hearing that he hadn't yet acquired he could still hear his mother screams and protests.
