  "No we have the packs organised into 3 groups, one to fight, one to watch the border and the other for backup when we need it"
 
  "Ok, we are going to leave now and get in place. Most of my men have already surrounded the place they are just waiting for us to get going. So be ready in say 15 minutes? I'll text when it's time"
 
  He hangs up and turns to Fay and he kisses her, everyone turns to their mate and they kiss them, we lower our head and nudge deacon, he smiles at us and rubs our head.
 
  "Come on don't be getting all soppy on me"
 
  I grin inside her head. He's right I ain't soppy. She licks his cheek and he kisses her nose then stands up and leads us down the steps to our pack resting his arm over our shoulder.
 
  "Are you all ready?"
 
  "Yes alpha"
 
  Rings throughout our pack. I decide to take a minute to link them all
 
  Me
  Hey, it's me. I just wanted to remind the newest members to never touch my fire. Be aware of all of our fires because it isn't normal, got it?"
 
  "Yes Luna"
 
  They answer out loud, I walk over to my side of the pack and nudge them all making sure the injured are fit to fight and thankfully they're all good to go. Arden tells us it's time to go so I go back to deacon's side, isla and Jake are there too. I nudge isla
 
  Me
  Bubble as skin now please
 
  She rolls her eyes but smiles and her bubble appears and she pulls it into her body like a second skin, I lick her cheek and she chuckles then we take off towards the border, the packs spread out into the groups Arden and aspen have arranged them in and we all take off like a very trained and put together army.
 
  As we pass our border it only takes a few minutes before we reach mine so I link Gemma.
 
  Me
  Ok Gemma it's go time, can you get everyone to the bunker?
 
  Gemma
  There is a guard inside
 
  Me
  Is he armed?
 
  Gemma
  No
 
  Me
  Can you take him? You and a few others?
 
  Gemma
  I can try
 
  Me
  Do it, we need you all safe in the bunker, find a knife jump on his back and stick it in his throat
 
  Gemma
  Ok. I can do this. I can do this.
 
  Me
  You can do this Gemma I know you can. I have faith in you
 
  The link goes quiet and after a few minutes I start to get nervous as we approach our border.
  —————
 
  Gemmas POV
 
  I can do this.. I can do this.. fuckity ballbags! I spot the knife across the room beside the sink so I casually get up and I walk towards it. He doesn't even notice. Too busy perving on the girls. I grab the knife and stick it up my sleeve, my heart hammers in my chest, as I turn around he hasn't even noticed I moved. My hands start to sweat around the knife and I start to lose my nerve that is until he grabs Ashley around the waist and slams her against the wall. She screams as he tries to rip her shirt off and confidence I didn't know I had fills me and I know what to do.
 
  I walk over and run my free hand up his back, he pulls away from Ashley and looks down at me.
 
  "Hey, wanna take a walk?"
 
  I ask him. He smiles down at me with his dirty teeth, I push the bile back down and I force a smile back.
 
  "Well why not?"
 
  "Can I have a piggyback ride? I love those"
 
  He smirks and lowers his back and I climb on. He's not that big or strong but I'm sure he can hold my weight. When I'm on I try to pump myself up but the confidence I once had disappears again until he grabs my ass. Sick fuck! That brings me right back to where I need to be. I hold onto him around the neck with my free arm and I pull the knife out of my sleeve. I rest my head on his left shoulder and smile at him while I get ready to stick the knife in his throat
 
  "So what's your name handsome?"
 
  The words are forced and painful to say but he doesn't seem to notice, he looks in my direction and smiles again. I work quickly and I shove the knife into his throat as hard as I possibly can and rip it upwards. His face is full of shock as he throws me off and grabs his throat but before he can touch me he starts to gurgle, blood poured down his body and he collapses. My hands are shaking as I stand to my feet. I'm in the hall and I see the doors right there so I run and bolt them closed then go straight into the classroom
 
  "Everyone get up, we need to go to the bunkers right now! Move move move!"
 
  They don't quiestion me, they just pick up the small kids and run. I grab a baby who's sleeping in the corner and we run down the hall. I open the large fake tile on the floor where the secret bunker is and everyone piles inside going to the steel door. When everyone is in I hear crying so I hand the baby over and I run back to the room. A little boy comes running towards me so I pick him up and run back.
 
  I climb down and pull the tile after me and I click it in place so it looks like a floor again, then I go to the door and close it tightly and finally I breathe. My body trembles and I sag to the ground and I cry.
 
  Gemma
  We are in Luna, I killed him, I killed a man.
  ———————-
  Ailms POV
 
  Me
  He was a bad man. I had to kill someone yesterday and it's scary but if I didn't do it they were going to hurt me.
 
  She doesn't answer and my heart sinks for her. I open a link to all the kids in the pack.
 
  Me
  Hey kids, it's your Luna. We are coming for you, we are a few minutes away but until we can kill everyone I need you all to hide. If you can get to a bunker do it, if you can't lock yourself in a bathroom and put a chair against the door and climb into the bath. Do not open the door unless someone on the other side gives you the password jiminy cricket. I need you to be strong for just a little while longer
 
  I keep the link open but no one answers. I sigh sadly and say a silent prayer that they can do as I ask. As we approach the border Arden holds his hand in the air, my heart thumps in our chest but ifreann is calm. She turns to deacon and licks his face, he leans over and holds our face up against his.
 
  "I love you doll"
 
  My heart stops and we smile. We lick his face and I decide that I should answer him.
 
  Me
  We love you too
 
  He grins and kisses my nose and I take a few steps away from him and I ignite my fire. I look down the line and see everyone has their fire and bubbles up with the exception of Caden who is surrounded in Baylees bubble.
 
  Arden lowers his hand and we run, we take off throughout the trees. the rogues patrolling my land immediately jump into action. I run straight for one of them who changes his mind and runs in the other direction. I chuckle at his fear jumping through the air and catching his shoulder and flipping him to the ground. He screams as my fire surrounds him and I rip his throat out. I turn and see that deacon is breaking a neck and isla rips another's throat out.
 
  We move in together, our packs attack and kill all the patrols, alerted by the screams. More rogues come through the trees and I attack the first, catching his head in my mouth and I kick with my back legs hitting another in the chest. He screams as he is hit by my fire. I break the first ones neck and just as I go to finish the other off deacon does it for me but I jump over his body and tumble to the ground as another tries to sneak up on OUR deacon.
 
  I rip a lump from his side and growl into his face before I rip his face off. I turn back to check on deacon. He's smirking at me and ifreann prances past him with her head in the air trying to play it cool.
 
  Me
  Oh you big flirt
 
  Ifreann
  Am not, have to play it cool
 
  I roll my eyes and jump back into the action killing another 2 with deacons help. Isla moves with Jake never leaving her side. I hear a gunshot go off and suddenly everything is in slow motion as I watch it head straight for deacon. I jump in front of him letting the bullet hit me, then another and another. I growl and take off towards the rogue. He continues to shoot me as I approach and he realises his mistake but it's too late so I jump over his body and I stalk him. He retreats backwards slowly against a tree. Ifreann grabs his leg and he screams as our fire hits him. Instead of killing him she rolls on him letting our fire completely engulf his body until he turns to dust.
 
  We get up and I run straight back to deacon when I see he's surrounded, I jump in and land on one while grabbing the other with my teeth and yanking him backwards giving deacon a chance to kill the other 2. I finish them off and rip their throats out.
 
  As I turn I see another row of rogues coming straight for us and we jump in killing as many as possible, isla let's of a direct scream knocking the wind out of most of them, giving our pack enough time to kill them. We fight our way through and there is a constant row of rogues coming layer after layer, they are organised and it's obvious they have been training but they are no match for us.
 
  After around 30minutes we make it to the clearing where our training field is. The place looks like a dump, in only 24 hours they have managed to ruin everything my parents have built and it pissed me the fuck off. Isla growled beside me, she obviously felt the same.
 
  Me- isla, deacon and Jake.
  Me and isla need to find the queen
 
  We work together and kill a few more rogues until deacon answers
 
  Deacon- everyone
  Let's just make our way there slowly
 
  We all silently agree as more rogues come from houses and join the fight. They were not kidding when they said there were thousands of them. I run straight for one skidding and grabbing his leg and pulling him to the ground then I rip out his throat as I roll onto my back and kick the rogue coming straight for me with a knife. He goes flying and I tell my fire to spread and kill him. It obeys as always and suddenly I have an idea. As the next row of rogues come for us I let ifreann howl at them. It's like a fire extinguisher spraying my fire over the group of rogues. Once it hits them I tell it to spread throughout their bodies and kill them.
 
  "That was so cool"
 
  Deacon and Jake say at the same time, isla rolls her eyes with a smirk on her face
 
  "Show off"
 
  Me and ifreann chuckle at her then we move in closer to the house. I growl as I see someone shooting from the top window in the packhouse
 
  Me-everyone
  Be careful they have someone shooting from the packhouse
 
  Isla steps forward and shouts
 
  "Cover your ears"
 
  I watch as she drags the souls of the rogues around her then she screams, directing it at the packhouse, the man grabs his ears and stumbles forward and falls out the window dropping to the ground dead.
 
  "That was so cool"
 
  The boys say to her
 
  Me
  Show off
 
  She chuckles at me but just as we make it to the back yard hundreds and I mean hundreds or rogues pile out and head straight for us. I hear someone say to watch their ears and then I hear it. Baylees screams and knocks the air out of nearly everyone, killing hundreds of rogues at a time.
 
  When she's done she steps back in line and covers her and caden with her bubble then we take off again. I hear a few screams here and there from my cousins and soon we make it to the house. Isla opens the door and I follow her in. Deacon, Jake, Baylee and Caden follow us in. I'm hit with a huge deja vu and I hold my whimper in. I can cry later, right now I need to find her and kill her. A rogue runs into the kitchen and freezes, isla grabs him and takes him by the throat
 
  "Where is your queen?"
 
  "She's not here"
 
  "Don't fucking lie to me"
 
  Isla ignites her fire on her left hand, increasing her hold around his neck on her right. His eyes goggle out slightly at the sight.
 
  "Your going to kill me anyway so why would I tell you"
 
  Isla laughs a crued crazy laugh making a shiver run up my spine
 
  "Yes I'm going to kill you but depending on how fast you take will depend if you die fast, if you talk slow.."
 
  She rolls her hand and bounces the ball of fire into the air and tiny particles rain down on the man. Pinpricks of her fire lands on him and he screams bloody murder. She stops it from falling and looks at him
 
  "Where is she?"
 
  "In the panic room"
 
  "She's not even fighting?"
 
  "No amber doesn't fight"
 
  Islas head snaps to mine and I growl and nod, I know she's asking permission for aspen. I trust her and she knows it but I'm very proud at how mature she has become. she turns to Baylee and caden
 
  "Tell Luca and aspen to get in here"
 
  "Already done"
 
  "How many are down there? Who else is down there?"
 
  "Her mate"
 
  I frown, none of this makes sense.
 
  Me-Baylee
  I think he's lying, can you command the truth from him
 
  Baylee and caden step forward and I can see her pull on her aura, it's strong as hell and even my teeth chatter
 
  "Where is the queen, who is the queen"
 
  His eyes water and he cries out as her aura hits him. Isla takes a step back probably avoiding the uncomfortable feeling of her aura washing over her to hit the rogue.
 
  "Heerrrrrrrr— her- name isss— biancaaa and she's—- in a room upstairs. She told us to say amber is the queen and she is a rogue woman we captured and tortured, she's in cuffs tied to the wall"
 
  Aspen and Luca run in through the door growling.
 
  "Where is she?"
 
  They ask together, baylee puts her finger up to keep them quiet for a moment so she can command the rogue
 
  "Who else is in the cellar, are they armed"
 
  "Yyyyyeeesssssss they have darts. There are a few but I'm not sure how many"
 
  Baylee looks at me so I link her. I was so glad uncle Caden taught us how to link everyone because we are hellhounds and it seemed to come easy to me.
 
  "Tell them to go and be careful, keep their bubbles up. The emergency code is 5942 and they can't change it"
 
  Baylee tells them what I said and they take off down the stairs with a few of their own warriors, then she looks to the rogue
 
  "Take us to your queen quietly"
 
  She lets his neck go and he takes a breath of air then leads us down the hall.
  ————
 
  Aspens POV
 
  I was so ready to kill this bitch, she tried to turn the pack against us, she tried to ruin the time I had left with Arthur and for that I could never forgive her. I could never let that go.
 
  "Let me and Luca go in first with our bubbles up so we can disarm them, stop anyone from leaving."
 
  They all nod agreeing to my whisper, I squeeze Lucas and smile then I type in the number and the door clicks open. I hear shuffling inside, I push the door open and stand to the side as darts come flying past my face, when they stop I peer in and see around 6 people reloading so we run for it.
 
  I ignite my hands and grab the first rogue, pulling him to the ground and using it to hit another breaking the gun. The first on the ground screaming tried to inject me with the dart but it can't puncture my bubble so I ripped it out of his hand and stuck it in his jugular. Then I break the neck of the second as Luca works quickly killing another. Left is a woman cowering in the corner and the other rogue puts his hands up in the air and drops to his knees with his hand behind his back. I smile and take him by the throat but the sneaky fucker has 3 darts hidden and he tries to stab me with them. I take all 3 out and stick them in his throat then instead of breaking his neck I break his back so he can die slowly. When that's done I turn my attention to Luca and amber and I growl. She shivers in fear in the corner. I take her by the hair and she tries to stab me with a knife, it melts in her hand and she screams.
 
  Luca grabs a few darts from the floor and hands me 2 and keeps 2 for himself.
 
  "This one is for lying about being pregnant"
 
  He stabs her with it in the neck and immediately her heart starts to race as the others behind me cry out as their hearts begin to burst. I smile down at her.
 
  "That's for lying about us both"
 
  I stick one in the other side of the throat
 
  "This one is for hurting Arthur when he was already hurting to much"
 
  Luca growls
 
  "And this one is for trying to ruin what little time we had left with him"
 
  I stick the last one in as a pop sounds behind me. I look around and see that the men's hearts popped in their chest. I drag amber out of the safe room and up the stairs. I take a seat and push the bitch to the floor. There is a full on war going on outside, but I needed to watch her die. I needed this to be done with.
 
  We didn't have to wait long as she screams out and we hear a pop as her heart explodes in her chest. I grin and take a sigh of relief, happy she's finally dead.
 
  Ailm
  You better come see this upstairs, first floor third room on the right
 
  Me
  How the hell are you in my head
 
  Ailm
  Cause I can link anyone it's cool isn't it
 
  Me
  I thought only dad could do it
 
  Ailm
  Can we discuss this later please, we need you and Luca up here ASAP!
 
  ———————-
  Ailms POV
 
  I roll my eyes at my cousins then turn my attention back to the bitch. Baylee had her by the throat, she was trying to lie about her name but Isla and I recognised her straight away. It was Eva Arthur's mate.
 
  Me-Deacon
  Get me clothes out of the drawer
 
  He turns and pulls some out and follows me into the bathroom. I shift and he throws me the large T-shirt and shorts. I tucked them in and returned to the room so I could talk to her.
 
  "Why are you lying? I know your Eva, why change your name?"
 
  She looks at me a little shocked, but she recovers and growls
 
  "Because he would have come for me. This was always my plan only that bitch merged with Luca and their pack got too big. Here is perfect so I took what I wanted after I blackmailed a few witches. Even witches are afraid of your kind. It's ridiculous. But after a little kidnapping incident they were putty in my hands. Took me 10 years to get here but I managed to do it"
 
  "Why are you so calm what are you planning"
 
  Baylee throws her aura out at full capacity making everyone in the room stumble. Evas eyes roll to the back of her head.
 
  "Why cry over spilled milk, i knew you would come but I've proved to the world, to the rogues, to other packs that you're not indestructible. Now that they know they will rise up and kill you all."
 
  She spits at Baylee, Baylee takes her by the throat and squeezes it. Luca and Aspen rush into the room and both stumble as they see her.
 
  "Eva! You're the queen?"
 
  Luca says dumbfounded
 
  "Oh great, it's you"
 
  "Why, why did you reject him?"
 
  She scoffs and laughs at aspens question
 
  "You can't be serious? He was in love with you! You were in love with him. We knew that the moment we became mates! The only people who didn't know you were gay was you both! That's why Jenna left. You chose him everytime and I didn't even try. I could see straight through him. It would have never been me and him. It would have been you both and me on the sidelines just like it was for Jenna but I was smart enough to see that and I got out first. She came to me later and I helped her escape. Then amber came along and she was just annoying but she was a good way to get in and out unnoticed."
 
  "Thank the heavens you rejected him, you would have killed him in his sleep. Fucking coward"
 
  Aspen spits at her, Eva laughs at her and I ignore them all and ignite my hand and roll it. She watches me carefully as I play with my fire.
 
  "Where are my parents bodies"
 
  She laughs loudly
 
  "Did you not see it? We had to display our trophies after all. There outside young one"
 
  She winks at me so I turn the fire into a picture of Arthur, I show him holding a knife. I add more fire then isla joins in until Arthur is the size of us hovering on the ground. We give him a flaming sword. I look at Isla and she looks at me. We nod together and look back at Eva who looks genuinely terrified. I make Arthur swing the sword, cutting right through her neck. She screams as we cut straight through her jugular and she falls to the ground dead. I pull the fire back into my body then extinguish it.
 
  I watch as her blood soaks into the carpet, sad that it didn't make me feel any better. Isla hugs me and I lean into her as she hugs me back.
 
  "Someone needs to clear the house, check every room if there are kids hiding, tell them to stay hidden until we give them the password. We need to make sure they are all dead first, isla, Ailm I think we better go find their bodies."
 
  We nod silently and follow Baylee out of the room, deacon squeezes my hand, I use my other hand to squeeze Islas. We walk in silence terrified of what we will find. We open the front door and I collapse at the sight before me. Isla falls too. My legs won't move so I crawl further towards them. 4 posts stood outside the house. Each post held a member of my family, tied up like an ornament. Each had an apple in their mouth and wrote on their faces with marker was slut, hoe and other profanities. They had thrown mud all over them. Used them as target practice. The sight was horrific.
