(Scarlet’s pov)

“come on Danny! Their coming, we need to move!” I said. “go on… without… me… it will… give you… time to run…” Danny said between pants. “im not leaving you! So move your butt!” I commanded. I grabbed his arm and toss it over my shoulder while my arm is supporting his weight. We wobbled quickly through the forest. We have another mile and a half before we are out of the forest.

As we were walking, there was a long howl. The sound dint come far. There catching up. Shit! Chances of us making it out to safety with a more than a mile and a bunch of running wolves is zero to none. “We wont make it out like this” he said straining his voice. “we will just keep moving” I said. How I really wish I had my wolf now.

The sound of paws thudding the soft round was getting louder. Growls filling the air. They couldn’t move fast enough. Soon we were surrounded. There was about nine of them, all blocking their way. There was no way out now. We were going to die or get dragged back.

I did my best to position myself in a defensive more, but you cant really do that when your holding a wounded wolf beside you. The head guy of this small group and beta if I recall correctly spoke “surrender now and come with us quietly or die”. I dint say anything. “very well…” he said. Brian stood at the back and watch, while his team slowly advance towards us.

“shit shit. Think Scarlet, think” I chanted to myself.  They were a couple of feet's away. There was no escape. I gripped Danny’s waist harder while he gripped my shoulder equally as hard.

 Now only 3 feet away, the men reach out their hands to grab us.

When suddenly, two wolves bust out of the bushes and landing beside us. The 8 men surrounding us jumped back quickly, some transforming in midair into wolves. Loud growls erupted everywhere. I was still dazed on what just happen but snapped out of it when I realize the two wolves we moving nearer to us. At first I was going to try and fend them off until I notice the familiarity of the two wolves. It was my mom and dad. My mom’s wolf is brown while my dad’s black.Oh thank the goddess.

It was a stand off, both sides were growling with their fur at the back standing up right. No one made a move.

Not yet…

 the growling at soften slightly when Brian spoke up. “Clarissa, Kayle, what are you doing?! Defending the rogues! You are betraying the pack!”. Kayle shifted back to human. He was nude but he dint care, they were going to hurt her daughter and mate. He dint protect her then but he’s not going to make the same mistake twice.

"tell your goons to back off now or we'll rip your heads off!" Kayle said. Kayle and Clarissa moved closer to us but with enough space to shift so the wont hurt us in the process. Their bodies crouched to a fighting position.


Shit, they cant fight them all. Its a losing match, two against eight and a beta. 


"your out numbered Kayle, look around you. You cant possibly take down all of us with the both of you. The other two beside you are practically sitting ducks." said Brian. "then we'll die trying, i wont make the same mistake twice" replied Kayle.


They started to advance towards them again. "hunny your father and i will jump on the two men on the left, they'll be knocked down. That's your window of escape ok. So take it! Do not stop for any reason understand me! We love you very much." my mom mind linked to me. "but i cant leave you mom! I just saw you both! Im fighting with you" i mind link back. 

The eight men were closing in. I dint have time to think. There was no time. 

“NOW!” my mom spoke in the mind link. She and dad shifted and pounced on to the two men.

Clarissa clamps down her jaws around his neck until she hears a satisfying cracking sound. Kayle was on top of the other man. he raise his giant paws and slashed across the man’s chest. His claws dug deep in to his wounds. By the time he wanted to scream, Kayle’s jaws were already around his neck.


Everything happened so fast, one minute we were surrounded then next I know and heard was, "RUN SCARLET! RUN!" Shouted my mother. Danny got a bit of his energy back, thank you fast healing.

 We were both pushing our legs as hard as we can. The sounds of bones cracking, flesh tearing apart, growling and whimpering was slowly fading as we exited the forest and on to the highway. 
We dint look back, we dint care that our bodies were screaming for us to stop and rest, we dint bother that our hearts were pumping  like a thousand beats per second with adrenaline . 
We just kept running back to town. I gave a silent prayer "moon goddess and the spirits, please protect my parents..."
