My bare feet pounded against the ground and I squeezed my eyes shut as feet pounded against the ground behind me. "Aspen!" Ryder squealed like a child as I giggled, his sweatpants held hostage in my arms. "Don't you dare do it!" He squawked.

I burst through the front doors and hurried down my front steps, biting my lip and smiling. I threw his sweats into the snow then using my power, dumped the snow on top of them, soaking them in the icy substance. "Take that!" I squealed and jumped as his arms came around me, and lifted me in the air.

My back was pressed to his front as he breathed in my ear making me shiver, "You little minx." he bit my ear lobe making me turn to a puddle of puddy in his hands.

"You deserved it." I moaned when he started tickling me. Suddenly Ryder was both shoved, we gasped as we fell face down into the snow. I was under Ryder, his hands gripping my arms as we rolled quickly. "Oh my god!" I squealed when Carson stood over us, a relieved sigh burst from my mouth, "You fucking scared the shit outa me!" I turned into Ryder's chest, sighing at the warmth radiating from him.

Carson reached out a hand and gripped Ryder's hand, pulling him off the floor and therefore pulling me off the ground. I was trapped between them as they embraced tightly, and I giggled as they kissed each other with fever. "Why did you push us?" Ry whined and rubbed his cold face into my hair, I tried wiggling out of their hold but I was stuck.

Carson sighed loudly, "You guys ran out without me!" he grumbled, his wolf shone in his eyes. The mate bond between us swimming with our emotions. We had one last step to complete the bond between us, which was sex, we hand't talked about it yet, but I could feel the yearning through the bond to finish. We had our tattooed marks on our bodies, Ryder's mark on my left side and Carson's on my right, and they were beautiful. But our wolves were growing more clingy by the seconds, which caused us to be extremely possessive and territorial. We would have to finish the bond soon, or our wolves would do it for us.

"What are you thinking?" Carson hummed curiosity and pinched my nose. I stuck my tongue out and tried to lick his hand causing Ryder to laugh.

"If you wanted to lick something Baby, all you had to do was ask," Ry hummed and grinded his hips into my ass. "I have a few places in mind." He added and licked my neck, I arched and moaned into Carson's chest as he watched the two of us.

All of our eyes glowing with lust, Carson gripped Ryder's hair, pulling his head up as Ry continued moving his hips over my ass and I started moving my body in time with his, he shoved and I pushed, then I shoved and he pushed. Blood boiling, I trailed my hands down Carson's front, "Holy shit!" Carson yowled and shoved Ryder and I both to the ground before dropping himself down next to us.

"What the hell!" I gasped out, Ryder at my back, both of us ready to tear out Carson's hair, the mood was ruined and I was pissed, but as I went to stand, I heard screaming. "What?" I whispered and spun looking out and into the forest. My eyes went wide and terror filled my body, I stumbled in my squat as fire flew around the forest.

Nothing was on fire but there were waves of fire, blowing then not, in bursts and it was moving, moving towards us. "We-we should probably run." Ryder started out at the trees, his eyes wide with shock.

Carson gripped my arm and pulled me off the ground, turning to run into the house but stopped short, there in front of the house stood three people, two men and a woman and in their hands, was the torn piece of felt, the blood soaked felt. I gasped and stumbled into Carson's side, it was that blanket, the one from the rouges, the one I found in my locker.

"Oh god." I whispered. "Damn, damn," I clutched my hair in my hands, "Holy god."

Ryder and Carson both tensed, their muscles tight in anticipation, "Who are you and what do you want?" Carson growled, his wolf speaking with him in his voice. We were all ready, ready to fight, ready to attack as the rouge wolves stepped closer and closer to where we stood. Peeking behind us I saw the fire, it was getting closer.

This was bad, this was fucking bad.

The rogues said nothing, they just kept getting closer and closer, my body getting tenser with each step and slowly the girl pointed to me, from where I stood behind my mates, her nails were covered in dirt and blood. Her finger moved to Ryder then to Carson, telling us without words that we were basically fucked.

Growling, the rogues lunged, and faster than I could blink, my two mates jumped right back. Carson buzzed with electricity and Ryder squeezed his fists, a wooden spear growing in his hands. My hands grew cold as ice as they engaged in battle, I was yanked backwards by a strong hand and drew back, spinning around as a blood hand came down on my shoulder, and dug into my skin.

An angry growl burst from my mouth as I put my hands on the rogue wolf's shoulders, and pushed the cold from my magic into his body. His eyes went wide as he tried to step away, but there was nothing he could do as I followed his steps. His lips turned blue, his teeth chattering as he wobbled, his knees buckling. I followed him to the ground, freezing him from the inside out and I didn't stop until the ice was in his eyes and his chest did not rise with any breaths.

"Stupid fucking rouge," I spat on his body, "You can't hurt me anymore." I whispered angrily. An arm wrapped around my waist, and I knew that this arm didn't belong to one of my mates. Adrenaline shot through my body as I immediately went limp in the woman's arms, becoming dead weight. She gasped and dropped to the ground but didn't release me, her dirty hands clutching my arms in a bruising grip.

"You little bitch!" She growled, shoving me under her in the snow. I struggled in her hands, pushing at her grip, I drew up my knee and bucked my hips as he clawed at me. Finally my magic snapped into action, and I immediately started freezing her blood. Reaching inside her body to tear her apart from the inside. She scowled and fell off my body, I pushed her the rest the way and clutched her neck in my hands.

Her eyes bulged out of her head at the same time I felt a pulse of power behind me and a sudden wave of heat smashed into my back. I screamed, the fire burning through spots in my clothes and burning into my flesh like acid. My body reacted before logic could and I curled into myself, falling into the snow and panting, the burns eating my flesh.

"Oh god, holy shit!" I moaned, and forced my body to slowly stand. I rose to my feet, my legs shaking and my body trembling in pain as my eyes landed on the cause of the fire. Two boys stood in front of us, they were twins, they had to be. I gasped as the bodies of the rogues burned, both the dead ones and the living ones, the screams following me as I stumbled backwards, looking for my mates without my eyes leaving the boys.

Hands landed in mine, and I knew they were both there, trembling with pain and rage and confusion just as I was. "What the hell..." Carson breathed as the bodies turned to nothing but ash and the twin brothers' hands slowly stopped burning. I leaned into Ryder's body, he took my weight without a problem, my legs shook and my back burned with pain.

"We are like you," One of the twins shouted, his hand clenching at his side as his brother's body trembled much like mine did, "And we need your help!" he declared. I looked up at Carson, then at Ryder, our eyes meeting and doubt swirling in them. We looked at the twins at once, what were we going to do?
