Sebastian's POV

" You said you wanted to talk. Get to it." I tell my former flame the moment I step into her cell.

Satin gets up from the chair she'd been sitting on and tries to approach me.

" Seb! Am so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you."
I stop her with a raise of my hand.

"My well-being shouldn't be of any concern to you. Now what did you want to tell me. And it better be good."

She swallows hard and runs a hand through her hair. It had a strong semblance to a bird's nest honestly. She looked like she'd been through a tornado, with mud in her hair and... Was that a twig?
Her clothes were no exception, they had mud stains all over. In general, she was piteous to the eye.

" Don't you even care for me one bit? I know you still do Seb. I know you still feel something for me, you're just confused." Satin says as she takes cautious steps towards me.

" If you don't start acting useful am going to let my mate come in here and trust me you don't want him to do that."

The mere mention of my mate seems to frighten her because she halts her steps before swiftly heading to the chair and plopping back down, eyes glaring daggers at me. If looks could kill, I'd be wiped off the face of this earth.
My mate must have scared her shitless when he single handedly took down her goons during the fight.

" Fine. I'll tell you all I know. Just don't unleash your 'mate' on me."

She spits the word mate out with so much venom but I could care less. All I needed from her was information. Her attitude wasn't affecting me one bit.

" You don't have much time. According to Elliot, the MOVEMENT was already advancing south. Which is why he desperately wanted to end your 'mate'. Weakening you would have made it much easier to attack the pack. The fact that Elliot hasn't succeeded in his task isn't going to slow them down. Infact I can assure you that they will descend on this pack with everything they've got. They will not back down. " She says in a matter of fact tone.

" And what did you intend to gain from all this?" I ask genuinely curious.

" You of course. You'd be vulnerable after that- mate of yours was out of the picture. And I'd be your shoulder to cry on. What better way to win you over than that? I'd all planned it out you know. Stupid thing just couldn't die!" She finishes through gritted teeth.

I feel my anger build as I watch her take dirt out of her finger nails. The fact that she was acting so cool after saying that was making me more angry. If I didn't leave this room I'd end up truly wringing her neck.
I turn and storm out of her cell my mind already at work.

" Don't I get a reward for my cooperation?" I hear her say.

I just keep walking. If there is any truth to what she said, then we didn't have much time. The war was coming to our door step and the most we had to prepare was a week.

Goddess help us.

I could already feel an incoming headache caused by the stress from what I'd just heard. I step out into the hot sun and see my mate talking to Nate and Casper. They seemed to be deep in conversation. Nate was wearing a deep frown which only meant one thing. Something was up.
Blair notices me before I even reach and he turns to me, smiling brightly. His smile was too bright for my liking. It didn't even reach his eyes.

" Did she say anything?" He asks after I peck him on the lips in greeting.
I give Nate a nod which he returns before focusing on my mate again.

" She said a few things."

" By that look am guessing whatever she said was depressing." Casper speaks.

" You could say that. She says the MOVEMENT is moving south. In simple terms, we have a war on our hands. And little time to prepare. At most a week." I elaborate.

" We may not have that much time brother." Nate says, looking absolutely worried.

" Why? What's going on?" I ask.
It's my mate who responds.

" Nate received word that The Red moon pack just got hit. Thousands massacred. A few survivors."

" Shit!" I curse.
" Alpha Rodriguez?" I Inquire, already dreading the answer.

" Dead. Together with his luna and children."

This wasn't good. The Red Moon pack was our nearest neighbor and closest ally. Alpha Rodriguez was like a father to me. I feel a painful pang in my chest and I breathe in deeply to ease it away. If they were attacked, that only meant one thing. And we all knew it.

We had less than two days before the storm hit. Our packs were close in location. It wouldn't be long before- I couldn't even bring myself to finish that thought.

" We are fucked." Casper voices all our thoughts.

" Well I say let them come. Am damn sure we can take those bastards. And if we can't, we will die trying. Am not going down without a fight. So let's stop focusing on how unprepared we are and actually do some preparation. Better late than never." my mate says with conviction.

" I love how you think." Nate remarks.

" Let's get our defenses ready then." I say before getting in the car. Blair follows and I drive off towards the center of town.
Casper rides with Nate and they follow right behind us.

I grip the steering wheel tight, my knuckles turning white as I focus on the road ahead. I just couldn't believe anyone could be so ruthless to kill innocent people. Innocent children. I drop my right hand on my lap and clench my fist. I feel Blair's soft touch on my hand and he slowly takes my hand in his, threading our fingers.

" It's going to be okay. We won't let shit happen to our pack. I won't let some fucked up Hitler impersonators mess with us. We'll fight, and I can assure you we'll come out on the other side victorious. I never lose. Trust me." He speaks firmly, eyes filled with determination.

" I have your back and you have mine. Together we are a force to recorn with." he adds.

" Me and you till the end." I say softly, tightening my hold on his hand.

" Exactly. We gonna fuck them up so bad they'll wish death upon themselves."

I look over at my mate and smile, feeling his optimism rubbing off on me before turning back to the road.

" Yes babe. We gonna fuck them all up. With you by my side, we'll be sure to bring hell upon them." I say.

He goes quiet for a moment, his expression becoming serious.
I watch from the corner of my eye as he bites his finger nails. A nervous habit of his I'd come to learn.

" There's something I need you to do for me first." he finally speaks.

"Anything." I say encouragingly. And I meant it. I told him once before that I'd do anything for him. Fight for him, kill for him and even die for him. I'd gladly do it all.

" I want to see your other form. Show me your Huxembeast."
