"At least you two got to attack her first hand. Had to let all that anger out" Anita and Ramya were at Jafari's house getting healed and patched up from the biggest war they've ever been in. He wiped their faces off with towels and wrapped a few bandages around pretty bad parts. Anita was more hurt, she had all sorts of deep cuts and gashes on her face, arms and back. But they were going away pretty fast.

"What just happened is going to keep me up all night forever. I don't think I'll be able to sleep. I don't understand how they just swept us off our feet like that" Anita felt horrible and the scene kept playing in her head. Ramya hugged her tightly "You know they wouldn't do anything if it weren't for Loba. They're too scared to fight without having a leader, even Jamie is scared. They can't even take care of themselves. That's why, soon in no time, we're gonna have her skull on the mantle back at home". She laughed afterwards.

Anita nodded and got off Jafari's couch "Thank you. I'll take care of myself. But tomorrow remember we gotta get rid of those Rogues that we captured. Right when day breaks" she told him. Jafari clasped his hands together and nodded. Every time they find a Rogue or maybe even a human lurking around their land they capture them, and hang them for everyone in Upward to see. It was a big show.

As they walked outside the house, they saw their daughter watching all the teens and kids throwing knives at the Rogues they captured. She tried to make them stop because among them was Derek, they ended up catching him before he could escape. Since he could've cut off Anita's head, he got stripped away along with 5 others that tormented and beat Rami and Anita.

"Hey, you guys can stop now, go home it's late" Anita said, walking up to them. They all stopped instantly and looked up at her. A few of them left, afraid, but some stayed to see what would happen. Before Anita could speak, Kelani got on her knees and sweetly talked to them. After she was done, they ran off. She stood back up and looked at her moms "You just have to be nice to them sometimes". She looked back at Derek who didn't look too good after what happened. He knew that this day would come, he was going to get kidnapped by this specific pack. He looked up at Kelani and the two other females. She turned away from him and walked away leaving him heart broken. She was only doing this so it didn't seem like she was into him around her moms. But the look on Ramya's face was different. She looked worried for him and wanted him out of the chains he had on, but there was no way she was about to fight with Anita over this.

The man in charge of watching them finally came from a shed they kept all the chains and torture devices at. He had more chains to put on them but Rami stopped him.

"That's enough. They're gonna die tomorrow anyways so let's not spoil it" she ran up to him and grabbed his arm. He listened to her and tossed the chains on the ground. She then looked at Derek who was on his knees with his head down. She walked over to him and whispered in his ear "I saw what you were doing, I know you didn't want anything to do with what was happening. I'll try my hardest to get you out of this". He lifted his head up and looked at her. He smiled but then Anita walked over and kicked him and forced him on the ground. Ramya backed up away from her and let her do what she wanted to do to him. She scratched at him and punched him in the gut. The people that were around clapped and cheered.

"How does it feel? Since I can't kill your mom, I'll...no that would be boring" She wiped his blood that was on her face and stood up to walk over near her luna "It's home time". Ramya agreed and nodded and walked with her alpha along with 5 other guards to protect them more because of what happened. Rami did look back at him, but they couldn't make eye contact since he was on the ground with his face turned the other way.

Once home, everywhere they looked around every corner there was a man or woman, all there to protect them, even in the house itself.

"You wanted 20 so I got 20" Shuri told the two. Anita smiled at her but Kelani and Rami didn't like the extra company. She ignored everyone in the room and pulled her daughter to her room.
