Chapter Thirty Eight

My mouth still hung open as Ryder asked a million questions.

"When?"

"We just found out, the guards were killed." Katherina answered him since Max eyes were still looking into mine. So many words and emotions were running through us right now. Fear, worry, anger. "That's not all Ry." Katherina said softly worried about Ryder's reaction.

"What?" Ryder demanded.

"Charity's gone."

Ryders growl snapped me and Max out of our gaze and thoughts, sending chills down my body.

"One of the other men pulling guard duty saw her helping Bret out of territory land."

Ryder completely went into Alpha mood. He took my hand and walked towards the cage Bret was kept in. His fury radiated off his body when he saw the guards dead. I gasped when I saw bestie lying there with his throat ripped out. A tear threatened to drip from my eye, I couldn't believe Bret did this, and I couldn't believe Charity turned on this pack. This was my entire fault; every last thing that has happened because I chose to leave Bret and be with my mate is my entire fault. My selfishness cause pain for others and lose for this pack. After Ryder was done snapping orders he turned to me and griped my arms. He knew everything I have just thought and he was not happy about it.

"This is not your fault Katherina." He said sternly using my full name. "He is the monster." He growled out. After seeing my scared face he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He opened his eyes and stared into mine and softly spoke; "You chose life K, you chose love. Nothing that has happened has been because of you. He did this and he won't stop K. Do not blame yourself." I nodded unable to find my words. "I love you." He said into my head.

"I love you to." I said to him in his mind.

Katherina, Max, Ryder and I all slept on the couches in the living room; we were all to worry about one another to leave each other's side. It was four in the morning when my hearing woke me, hearing paws coming at the house fast and I mean Bret fast.

"Wake up." I demanded. Without hesitation Ryder jumped up pushing me behind him standing at a crouch ready to protect me from anything and anyone. Awe, he loved me. Max was in the same stance as Ryder but he was right next to Ryder and Katherina was right next to me.

I heard his steps growing louder and louder and with ever step slamming on the ground my heart pounded just as loud and just as fast. I heard a dangerous growl and I instantly took my place in between Ryder and Max, refusing to be behind them as they fought to protect me and Katherina being just like us she was now on the other side of Max. We shared a look and nodded our heads. Like it was on queue we all changed into our wolves and growls fiercely at Bret as he was now a minute from the house. We stood their patently as we waited for Bret to come in and fight. We all had our snouts pulled back, Max and I in our devil forms, when we heard the paws stop in front of the door. It only took a few seconds but when we realized he wasn't coming in we went out ready to kill him. Right when we reached the door, I heard a sick snicker, but when Katherina changed to open the door no one was out there. The forest was untouched and the night was silent.

"Um . . . K?" Max said now in human form.

I looked up at him and saw him looking down to the ground, I slowly followed his gaze, worried I would see a dead body or a bomb or something but instead there was a white box. I changed into human form as well as Ryder, bent down and I picked up the box. The first thing I noticed was the red leaking out of the bottom. I gulped and looked over at Max who was looking at me. He nodded his head slightly and turned his attention back to the box. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the box.

I lifted one side and then the other, we all gasped as we saw the heart in the white box and pinned to the heart was a note:

I would say to my pets but since you abjured me I guess I shall say:

To Paul, Max, Katherina:

You shouldn't play with fire.

You thought you could imprison me, cage me and kill me you thought wrong my creations . . . . Oh, so very wrong.

Looks like you failed.

But don't panic just yet, everything will be ok. I do want you to know one thing and I will be sure you three remember it: Pay backs a bitch.

Let me tell you this little ones; I will get back to my original state and I will come for you. I will come for blood and I will come for revenge. I will destroy you but not before you watch me rip apart your mates.

See you soon

Always will be

Your maker
