Don't judge me, Till you know me

Chapter 18 - What the Hell!

Heey guys!!!

Okay so. Since I love you all sooooo much (No joke) and I feel bad about making you wait so long for chapter 17, I thought I would be awesome and update this next one very quickly. But! Then school decided to be a pain in the butt and gave me so much homework and study for mocks so now that I have a spare moment I felt like a month is long enough for you guys to wait. Sorry it has been a little long.

So, without further ado or blabbing on my part: On with the show!!! (Or story in this case hehe)

Chapter 18 - What the Hell!

(Ruby's P.O.V)

My shoulders tense as the battle cry rings throughout the freakishly silent forest. I glance around the room and notice that I am not the only one looking tense.

Annie is coiled, ready to pounce on anyone or anything that happens to cross her path and Ian look like he would jump in front of a bullet to save her. And me, I guess, because I was his queen but his mate comes first and I respect that.

We all move in sync unconsciously as we make our way over to the window of the tree hut to watch as the battle goes down. Even though some part of me was not sure if I wanted to watch the aftermath that so many years of barely controlled hate spill into one piece of land with over one hundred soldiers fighting for their lives.

Oh, and the men fighting against most of the hate filled rogues were fighting for me. They were fighting for their true queen and Alpha female. Some would be fighting for their close friend or family member, others just under the order of their Alpha, my mate.

The people on the hate crazed side were fighting for the throne, fighting for the title that would mean that they would have everyone attend to their every need, wait on them every waking and sleeping moment and so that they could be so powerful and so scary that people would cower and cringe at their very names, knowing to never cross them or there would be severe punishment.

These people were out for blood and if the hate filled rogues so much had a chance, they would be out for the best blood of all. Royal blood. Lily's blood. Jacks blood. Ross' blood. My blood. And if our blood wont work or its not enough or they cant get to it, they will go to the next best thing. Friends, colleagues, classmates, anything with a connection to their main target.

Can you notice a pattern here? A main theme, a main target? Yeah, a royal bloodline is what you are all thinking but think more specific, they want to cut the operation off and to do this they will start with its heart and its leader and that means only one thing.

Me.

I mean, it does not appear that killing just my parents and most of my original pack was enough. They now want to destroy my life even further than they already did by not letting me grow up with the people who created me and loved me from the moment they conceived me.

No, I am not trying to sound like a selfish brat who hates the people who adopted her and wished she could just run away. No, I love them to bits. I'm not mad that they never got around to telling me that I was adopted until my cousin came around and told me the whole story. I always knew that she was my cousin but I never knew, after my eventful 16th, that she was my real cousin.

"Okay men. On my mark we will go. We have the place surrounded and we have the element of surprise on our side. Just know that if any of you, and I mean any of you, if you see Ruby you have to get her the hell out of here. I do not care what else you are doing, she is and will always be our first priority." Zayn's voice carried out and around the trees and up into my ears and I couldn't help it, I froze and nearly ran to his arms but Ian and Brittany held me back.
