Shiloh -

Use his weaknesses against him. Easier said than done.

I know his weakness. His son, his mate, his pack, his ability to run his pack. All these are things to use against him. But he's smart. So how to use those things against him are even harder to work out.

Luckily for me, I'm also smart.

In wolf form, I crawl back into the territory. Trying my best to keep my scent low and maybe I won't be found. All I need is a little boy who wasn't paying enough attention to what he was doing. I know he wanders into the woods when no one watches him.

Chocolate brown curls, emerald green eyes, and dimples just like his father.

I just need to get lucky and catch him out here, alone.

I know these woods like the back of my paw. I've grown up here, running around with every young boy that wanted me when I was younger. Luckily, I managed to get smart enough to charge boys for my services. Not always by cash, but by special favors and ranking within the pack.

"...and I'll be a big brother. Daddy says mama's baby is in her tummy, too! That's why she's gettin' so fat." That voice is unmistakable and that faint hint of Harry's scent mixed with that of Dylan's mother fills the air.

I've found my opportunity. And in good timing too. I need to take advantage of this chance before I'm unable to do anything about where I am.

"...and daddy's says he thinks it's gonna be a girl, but I think...hello?" No freeze, afraid that I've been spotted by the four year old who stands up and looks in my direction.

The fear that crosses his face says it all. He's seen me.

And I'm not going to let this possibly last chance for me slip through my fingers.

I leap from my cover and land on the ground harshly, knocking down the now screaming kid to the woodland floor, successfully covering us both with mud.

"Daddy!! Help!" He screams and thrashes around, buts it's useless. No ways he getting away from me. Not this time.

I bite the back of his shirt and drag him along with me as I make a mad rush for the territory border. But even then, I'll have to run until I'm safe. Then it'll be bluffing and a bit of death threatening.

But I'm suddenly knocked to the ground, still keeping my teeth locked into the young boy's shirt, keeping him in my possession. I jerk around to see a white and tan marked wolf snarling at me and growling loudly. I don't need to be told who this she-wolf is.

Lily.

Even in wolf form, it's obvious to see she's pregnant. Not very far along, though.

She lunges at me, clamping down on my throat and I let go of Dylan and flip around until I've got Lily pinned to the ground.

End her. End this all. Kill. Kill her.

I go to rip her own throat out when I shoved once again to the ground. I'm flipped over and my eyes widen to see Harry. I'm human form, hate in his eyes and a large knife in his hand, holding it threateningly over me.

Huge mistake.

I snap his arm between my teeth before he had the chance to lower the blade and he screams out in pain. The strong metallic taste of blood fills my mouth, and I shake and thrash my head around, causing blood to spill faster and a couple bones in his arm to snap loudly.

Dylan's screaming and crying fills the air along with Harry's shouts of pain.

Lily shakily stands, her legs seemingly weak and she lunges at me only to miss and fall over herself, whimpering quietly.

But a whimper escapes me when a sharp pain races up through my left leg and I release my grip on Harry and I jump away. He falls to the ground with a pained groan and blood continues to rush from his bitten and broken arm.

I look down to see that he's still managed to cut me and blood pools from the Delgado he's created.

I jerk my head back up when Harry starts to move again, this time, rushing over to where Dylan is crying hysterically and shaking like a leaf. Lily attempts to limp over, but gives up and resorts to laying down. Harry then rushes over to her and gently petting her fur before glaring over at me.

"You..." He growls and stands tall, walking towards me.

I shift and also stand tall, wanting nothing more than to end all this misery he's ever caused me.

"You've hurt my family for the last time." He says before pulling the knife once again and holding it against my throat, the green in his eyes almost gone and the hate and darkness nearly filling his eyes completely.

"Go ahead. Kill me." I growl.

But suddenly, he pulls the knife away from me. Looking at me with even mate hate if that's possible.

"You stupid idiot." He growls.

"You absolutely, f-cking, moron!!" He shouts so loud it echoes through the trees.

"Kill me!" I shout, angrily.

"I can't kill you. Not like this." He says, the green slowly coming back into his eyes.

"You I could kill. Without batting an eye, I would happily kill you." He growls angrily, while running his hands through his long hair.

"But I refuse to only because I'm not going to kill that innocent, unborn baby you're carrying."
