Just as I shook his hand to seal the promise, an older wolf burst into the room. He was panting and he looked truly horrified.

"Alpha Alpha," he panted. "The guards there's so many of them! They are attacking us! We ask them to leave and the guard just stabbed Tim! There is only 15 of them but they aren't royal guards. They're Rick Baylock's."

I rose from my chair and Sesame growled.

"This is my fight. Where are the unicorns," I growled.

"Out back and Scarlett be careful," he warned. "As for you, go get some more fighters and follow Scarlett and Cameron. I'll be there is a second,"

The male half-wolf nodded and peeled out from the office and we heard a howl from downstairs. I then looked from Sesame to Cameron. Cameron nodded and Sesame let out a short bark.

"Let's go," I smiled wickedly.

We raced down the steps and Toby was at the bottom wait for us.

"Toby! When the fights over you are coming with us! Do you understand," I called over to him.

"Sure whatevs. I got the unicorns out front for you," Toby said.

"Let's go then guys! Lets go kick some guard ass," I said loudly.

The people cheered and then they all shifted at once. I pushed the door opened and saw the unicorns out front just as Toby had said. I leaped up on Storm-Brooke, Cameron did the same with Sky-Ghost.

I pulled out a sword I had taken from Annabella's and handed it to Cameron. I nodded my good luck and pulled out my bow and arrows. I kicked the side of Storm-Brooke and we were off.

The wolves raced behind Cameron and I. I could hear the growls from the fight. I shrunk the supply wagon with a spell and levitated it into the saddle bag. Three short howls sounded close to us and Toby howled back.

We arrived at the battle within seconds and I saw a smaller wolf about to be killed by a guard. I lifted my bow, aimed it and let go of the string. The guard fell to the ground, the tip of the arrow sticking out his back.

I turned to see if any other of the wolves needed help and I saw Cameron struggling with two guards. I quickly shot both down. Cameron gave me the, I could have handled them, look. I smirk and turn away.

I saw Toby fighting side by side with a smaller red wolf. They were trying to take down two guards, both had armor on and I could see that the wolves were having trouble. I shot one of them it the neck and the other turned to see what had happened to his buddy.

Toby lunged at the guards neck and killed him with a quick shake.

"Haven fun watch them all die, Scarlett," a voice sounded behind me. I felt the cold metal of a sword pressed against my skin.

"How's Ari treating ya," I growled.

"I ask you a question Scarlett, better answer me," he spoke calmly but I could hear the anger bubbling up.

"Hate her don't cha? Everyone does. Why do you think I'm here? Huh? To kill people? I can see that you think that. I know you want to sink the sword into my neck too, but you can't. Can you? No don't answer that, she wants me alive," I sighed. "I'm not an idiot. I can tell you have a family. A little girl waiting for her daddy to come ho-"

"SHUT UP," he screamed. Not one wolf moved a muscle.

"Wizard too eh? If only you could teach your daughter your skills. I must say pretty impressive. But once she has me, do you think she'll spare your life," I asked.
