(I have committment issues I'm sorry...)

"We prepare our soldiers, our strongest and most powerful soldiers to the forefront and we attack in three days. We cannot wait any longer" I urged.

"Are you fucking kidding me? She will overpower us! She has a larger force!" Marco exclaimed, banging his fists against the desk.

"AND WE HAVE A MORE POWERFUL FORCE!!!" I roared, standing up and slamming both palms on the desk causing both Nicholas and Marco to shake slightly.

"Alpha I just think you should reconsider-"

"I fear there is no point in arguing with Alpha Kaiden, it seems his mind is made up and who are we to deny our Alpha his wishes, we are here to serve him. I will inform our troop leaders and general of our plan, and act swiftly," Nicholas interjected as he bowed his head before placing his hand on Marco's chest.

"Thank you Nicholas, away with both of you I need to think," I growled, placing my hand over my head as a constant ring began to invade my mind, more of an annoyance and less of a pain.

Nicholas left the room, leaving Marco and I in a deadly silence, I knew he wasn't going to leave so easily but he just couldn't understand that I can't let her die.

"Marco I can't let her die, going to the council is not a option," I sighed, the ringing in my ears becoming more apparent.

"So risk the safety and lives of the members in your pack for one woman? Is this really the best way to go about this?" He asked, looking at me with such a displeased expression.

"You know damn well she isn't just one woman, if she dies then I die and what will make of the pack? What will everything my family ever worked end up as? If I need to sacrifice a few lives in this pack to put that woman in her place but also keep her safe then so be it, they will be dying for the greater good," I closed my eyes as the ringing became deafening.

Then all of a sudden silence, an eerie silence.

Something was wrong.

A cold shiver went down my spine at the same time Marco shuddered in disgust.

"You felt that too?" I asked as I looked over at him.

"Yeah, what was that?" He asked.

"I'm not sure but something doesn't feel right, it almost as if it felt like something snapped. Like a connection was snipped in my head," I explained.

Something in my head was telling me to check on Azia, something felt off and it had something to do with her, I knew she didn't want anything to do with me but until I found out what was wrong I wasn't going to leave her alone.

"Azia," I tried sending into her mind but all it felt like was an empty thought, an empty thought that traveled nowhere.

"Call for Azia," I demanded Marco.

He gave an empty stare for a second and then looked up at me with slight fear and confusion in his eyes.

"Something is wrong, I can't reach her. I tried calling for her but something feels weird," He said as he stepped forward.

"Follow me, something has to be wrong," I said swiftly, walking towards the door trying not to panic.

What if somehow she got to her? What could she have done to her? She didn't kill her, I would have known if she was dead but then what was going on?

"Alpha is Azia okay? What's happening?" Marco asked as he tried to keep up with my long strides as we zipped through the pack house, eagerly waiting to get outside.

"I don't know but something isn't right, I don't care if she doesn't want to see me, I need to make sure she's fine," I asked, nearly sprinting towards her house across the pack, desperately wanting to reach her.

She was my baby sister after all.

It felt as though it took an eternity to reach her house, every step closer seem to be in slow motion as her house came into my view, every leaf crunch under my foot warning me of a sight I wouldn't be pleased with. The shudders got worse, my anxiety grew, sweat began to bead my forehead and before I knew it I was right in front of her door.

"Azia?" I called out loud as my fist slammed against the door, only for the door to force open at my touch revealing a mess.

"Roman!" Marco said out loud as he pushed his way past me, darting towards an unconscious figure out the ground surrounded by a pol of blood.

The entire living area was a mess, feather scattered everywhere from the pillows, furniture broken up and smashed, scratches and rips in the wall paper around the room.

Please don't tell me this was her doing.

"Kaiden he's alive but he's pretty badly beaten, he needs to go to the hospital immediately," Marco said as he bent down to check for Roman's pulse.

"Where is Azia?" I said out loud as my eyes surveyed the room before finally landing on her motionless figure in the corner of the room.

"AZIA!!" I shouted as I jetted across the room, kneeling in front of her to examine her.

"Marco call for hospital transport immediately," I shouted, pressing my fingers against her temples to feel for a pulse.

There was a faint one.

"Azia come on wake up," I said as I looked at her carefully.

It look as though her arm was broken and her shoulder joint popped out of place, her clothes tattered, making the scars and scratches in her face. What was strangest of all was that her pupils were a milky white color as she stared ahead with a vacant expression and her mouth slightly agape.

"Alpha what happened to her eyes? Who did this to them?" Marco asked as he bent down beside me, examining Azia.

"We both know who did this, Roman is a strong wolf and Azia is still a Alpha female despite not having much training, the question is why," I sighed, staring into the absent gaze of my sister one final time.

"She does this around the time we have no healer, and she manages to enter our territory without being detected, you have to admit she is ahead of us and we can't do this alone," Marco pleaded.

I was tired, tired of being underestimated, tired of being told to take the weaker choice, tired of his endless talk, refusing to respect me.

I sighed.

Swiftly I grabbed Marco by his face and slammed his head into the floor, breaking the floor boards around him, he needed discipline, he needed to understand that we were no longer teenagers and he could day anything towards me.

He needed to understand that I was the Alpha.

"Make sure when the medical team gets here they update me on Roman and Azia's wellbeing. Let this he a lesson to you Marco that I am the Alpha. I growled as I stood up, watching him gasp for air as he attempted to pull himself through the floor.

'Isis when I catch you, you'll be begging for me to put you out of your misery, how dare you go after my family,'

I was greeted with silence as usual as I tried to push that into her mind but she was true to her word.

If we wanted to play that game then I think it might be time to pay a visit to the Divine Celeste pack.

'Nicolas, order me a car to the Divine Celeste pack,' I sent through the mind link.

'Alpha?' I heard him question in my mind.

'Don't question me, just do it and I will be back in a few days. See to it that Roman, Azia and Marco receive medical attention,' I sent back.
