It was another day without Luca and me almost rejecting my mate. Ididn't feel like getting out of bed- hell, I didn't feel like existing. I moved a little almost hit something and someone whined.

"Watch out", his little voice yawned and my eyes widened

"Luca?", I asked looked at him. He slept peacefully as if he'd never left

"It's too early, Alpha", he grumbled and I smiled. I pulled him close and he snuggled into me. In a distance, I heard women voice crying and cheering for the return of their children. Then in the office, two voice talked.

"Where is he?! Where's my brother?!", asked Jayden, who footsteps paced the floor

"Jay please, calm down and listen", Nate said calmly but she didn't seem to calm down "In order to save the children.... Hayden traded himself". My heart stopped and I couldn't breathe for those few minutes. Hayden's gone.....

Hayden's POV

Luca looked back at me for a moment then ran off to catch up with the other kids. As long as they're safe..... The rogues dragged me off to their cells, where I was locked up.

"Well well well", a familiar voice chimed and I looked up to see Helena and that other rogue Athena tortured "look have we here, always trying to be the hero"

"Fuck off!", I growled and a sharp pain stung my face "bitch!"

"You can torture him, but not too much", she told the other rogue, smiling "your father has plans for him, son"

Son?! Please don't tell me that all this time, she was a mother

Dude, she's a mother.... Well this is weird.

Hours later...

"We've been living in the shadows for too long!", someone yelled, waking me up instantly and took in my surroundings. I was outside again, it was night and the full moon was shining over the wide meadown. A crowd of rogues was in front of me and standing on a small stage was a man. He had a suit, minus the blazer, and his arm around Helen's waist. Ronan. He was the guy that sent the rogues to harm Jayden, burn down the pack house, and kidnapped the children.

"We will start with the murderer, Alpha Hayden!", he yelled and they all agreed in growls and howls
s. As I was tied to a pole, below me were logs of wood, paper, and other flammable things. Helen's son stood there with a lighter, flicking it off and on.

"Go ahead son", Ronan told the boy and the rogue walked towards me. In that second a quick breeze came pass, blowing out the flame in the lighter and a loud crack came from the kid. There was silence as everyone stood still. Ronan and Helen's kid stood still then his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

"No!!!", Helen ran to her dead child

Mate! Ares yelled and I looked towards the woods

Why would she come?! She rejected us! I asked shaking my head and he growled

Almost rejected us.... She's still our mate dumbass! He replied

"Poor little rogue", a voice chuckled and all the rogues growled "I mean I would help, but there's no way to reverse snapping someone's neck". A snapping sound came about and small flicker of light came from a lighter.

"I think I'll keep this lighter though", she added and I smiled "could come in handy one day"

"Who are you?!", Ronon yelled angrily and the voice laughed

"Just think of me as the devil, but ten times worse", she answered and she appeared up on top of a tree branch. The full moon bleaming on her smooth skin and red eyes made my wolf howl. Her hair was a greyish silver color, making her even more beautiful.

"You can give me back my mate or you can all die, your choice", she said smiling and my heart stopped for a beat- she said my mate....

"You really think you can take us all by yourself", he joked

"I mean I could, but that would take too long", she replied hopping down off the tree "Boys! Make sure you leave Helen to me". The wolves from my pack came from being the trees, growling and snarling.

"I want her head!", Ronan yelled and the rougues charged at them. As my wolves and the rogues clashed, Athena disappeared from view.

"Do you always have to get yourself into trouble where I have to come safe you?", someone asked from behind me and I smiled "try not to get yourself killed this time"

"Why did you come save me?", I asked looking back into her beautiful red eyes and she frowned

"Later, as you can see everyone is fighting and I have a crazy bitch to kill", she stated and ran off.

Athena's POV

"You killed my son!", Helen growled and I shrugged

"Thanks for stating the obvious", I replied sarcastically and I held the whip in my hand

"Why not fight in wolf form? Afraid you might lose?", she questioned smirking- she has no idea what I can do in wolf form

"Too much blood besides and I like using my toys", I commented, she growled and charged at me. I threw the whip and her, slashing one of her legs and making her fall to the ground

"Come on!", I growled and she got up. She came me again, when I threw my whip, she bite it and tugged it out my hand. I cracked my knuckles as she came for the last time. With one punch she flew back back, I wrapped my arms around her neck and squeezed. Snap! Just like that, she was dead.

"You okay?", Hayden asked and I nodded, in the corner of my eye I saw Ronan taking off

"Ronan!", I called and Ares ran with me after him. Passing through the trees, we caught up with him; I took a dagger from my pocket and flung it at his leg. He stumbled and fell into a tree. The grey wolf, slowly shifted into Ronan

"Oh you caught me", he chuckled breathlessly and leaned his head back "what're you gonna do Alphas?"

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!", I growled stepping forward but Ares grabbed my arm

"Whether you kill me or not, the war will come", he smiled and I narrowed my eyes on him "my rouges are coming Alphas! Every who is against us will die.... Just like your packs"

"What the fuck did you just say?!", Ares and I yelled, Ronan smiled evilly

"I'll just say I still remember the beautiful screams of your dream parents and pack", he whispered pointing at me then pointed at Ares "and it was my mistake for letting you and your sister escape"

"Athena, close your eyes", Ares spoke softly which surprised- he's supposed to be pissed "do it, please". I nodded and "closed" my eyes. I heard Ronan struggle, scream in pain, coughing on my own blood then a snapping sound. Ares bit into Ronan's neck and ripped his head off completely... He was still holding his head in his hands.

The bastard deserves it....

"Ares...", I said, my voice almost a whisper and he turned to me. Seeing the look on his face pained me, he looked so sad and tired.

"Let's go home...", he only said dropping Ronan's head and holding his clean hand out to me. I hesitated before taking it and followed him back to the others.
