"Nara! You can't do this!" Sunghoon's voice echoes through the open space, the boy wildly thrashing against the hands that held him in place. Nara squeezes her eyes shut as she faces the witch in front of her, a single tear rolling down her cheek.

Missing
Nara groans as she blinks her eyes open, using her hand to shield her from the harsh sunlight that seems to be shining only in her eyes. She props herself up on her elbows to see Jay sitting a short distance away, the boy sending her a small wave when he notices that she's awake. He looks as tired as Nara feels, the boy rolling his neck as though he were sore.
Vague memories start coming back, flashes of the woods around the pack house causing Nara to frown. Normally, she would only get flashes of outside the house, but now she was seeing the room where the vampires had hidden with Dalila and the twins. Another Alpha. Sunghoon protecting him.
"He needs your help." Sunghoon's voice echoes through the girls confused mind, the relaxed look in his eyes simply confusing her more. Why would he protect an invading Alpha?
"Have you been awake for long?" Nara asks, Jay pulling her to her feet. He shakes his head, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I just woke up too, I'm not sure where Jake is." Jay says, following his sister as they make their way back to the Pack House. It was strange that the blonde wasn't with them.
"There you are, we have some visitors." Dalila says as soon as the twins come to the front of the house, Sunghoon turning his head. Their eyes meet and he sends her a small smile before turning back to Sunoo, the two boys talking quietly about something.
"Are you as tired as I am?" Jake asks as he approaches, massaging his shoulder with his hand. Nara nods, nodding her head at Dalila.
"Who are the visitors?" She asks, earning a shrug from the witch.
"I can only tell that they're wolves." Dalila says, wrapping her shawl around her shoulders. Nara nods, running her fingers through her hair. She didn't have the energy to deal with an invasion, if that's what this was.
"Are we under attack?" Jake asks, tensing. Nara shakes her head, patting the boy on the shoulder.
"If we were under attack then they wouldn't be patiently waiting at the front gate." She says, making her way over to where Sunghoon and Sunoo are standing.
"Sunghoon, can you come with me?" Nara taps the back of her knuckles on his arm, the boy nodding as he turns to face her. Sunghoon bumps his fist with Sunoo's before following Nara, the two of them making their way down the dirt path that leads to the edge of their territory.
