Chapter 8:

Emery's POV-

A few days have past and things have seemed to have settled down. They don't really seem to be trying to train as hard as they can and that's what really seems to be pissing me off. I mean they called us asking for help but don't even try.

That's what brings us to right now...

"IF YOU DONT WANT TO DIE THEN YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TRY!!! IF YOUR NOT GOING TO TRY NOW HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE WHEN A REAL FIGHT COMES!?"

Right after I finish yelling there's a scream from the forest. Me and my pack take off onto the forest to see a rogue on top of a little boy with blond hair, no older than 6.

I jump, shifting midway, and knocked the rogue off the boy. I rip out its throat and look toward the boy. Taylor is kneeling over him checking his wounds.

"his cuts don't look deep and he just passed out from shock." she tells me picking him up.

'bring him to the pack doctor, while I take care of the rest of training. tell me as soon as he wakes up' I tell her through mind-link. she nods and we start making our way back me still in wolf form. as we get to the lining of the trees, I go behind a hollowed out one and grab my extra clothes I stashed. after changing I go back to my old pack to see them whispering about what just happened.

"you see this is why you need to start taking this seriously. what if that was your little brother or your sister. maybe next time its one of your parent or maybe even your mate. how do you expect to protect them when you can't even protect yourselves? I have my own kids and pack to take care of, I don't need to risk their lives for people who don't even want my help. I might as well pack up now cause at this rate you guys are better off dead. you either give it your all tomorrow or don't come at all because I'm not going to train someone whose just going to waste my time when there's someone who actually wants to save their selves and their families."

They were silent as I walked away.

"you don't think that was a little to much?" Scarlett asked

"nope I think I actually got it through their heads how important this is" I tell her, walking into a guest bedroom, where Taylor's scent leads. she's sitting in a chair looking at the little boy. I go and sit on her lap, laying my head against her chest watching the little boy sleep as Taylor starts running her fingers through my hair.

My wolf keeps telling me to protect the little blond boy as if he's our own.

"why does my wolf want to protect this little boy so much" Taylor asks, breaking the silence. I look up at her

"my wolfs telling me the same thing, she telling me to protect him like our own" I say turning to face her.

She kisses my lips then turns back to the boy as he stirs. he slowly opens his eye and sees us. he sits up and and moves to the head board bring. his knees to his chest looking scared.

"please don't hurt me" he whispers. I slowly stand up making my way to the bed.

"were not going to hurt, we just want to know your name and where your parents are" I say sitting on the edge of the bed. " my names Emery and this is my girlfriend Taylor" he slowly shakes my hand.

"my names Ashton and my parents are dead. we were attacked while on a picnic a few days ago but I ran and got away." he says quietly.

"well Ashton how would you like to stay with us?" Taylor asked. Ashton looked hesitant but nodded.

"I would really like that" he answers.

"well why don't you get some rest and we'll eat dinner when you wake up" I say getting him settled into bed. he nodded already dosing off. me and Taylor both. kissed his head and left, leaving him to rest.
