Christian finally stopped after we made it to edge of town. The vampires weren't chasing us. Something told me they dared not to challenge Christian. He was not an easy target like me. I climbed from piggybacking Christian facing his direction as I glanced around, cautiously.

Christian kept immobile giving me a new concern to face. "Why have we stopped?"

"I smell blood. Human blood." His expression grimaced enough to let me know there was more he wasn't telling me. He looked at me and I somehow knew what that look meant.

Mckayla was close. "We have to go to her." If Christian did not come I would go alone regardless of being scared.

Automatically, we headed to the scent, I following close behind Christian. I did not know what to expect in seeing her. My wolf yearned to see Mckayla. To smell her into my lungs like an extra supply of pure oxygen. I loved Mckayla and no other woman could supply me with that kind of love. I did not need space from Mckayla to figure that out though the space had made it all more true.

Christian tapped my shoulder and I stopped. We were at a corner, our backs to the wall of some small building. Peeking his head out he turned back to me a few seconds later. "They're a few blocks down. I do not recommend approaching."

Why wouldn't we. They were so close. He saw the blatant confusion cross my face. "Mckayla does not feel the same."

That made me further confused. "Explain."

"Her minds shifted to thoughts that would be unimaginable to you. She has been consumed with more than enough human blood."

"Mckayla would never harm a human."

"I agree. Not if she was in control."

I grieved for emotions that would soon eat at Mckayla, I pressed the back of my head into the building trying to think of what I should do.

Christian moved swiftly, me behind him right as two vampires approached with guns in their hands.

A second later the woman who held Mckayla and Elena captive came into view, Elena than Mckayla right behind.

My eyes held long to Mckayla taking in the appearance of her. It seemed in the last week she'd adapted to a toner look.  Anger flared in Mckayla's, quite the same when first seeing her at Jace's, but far harsher.

"Mckayla..." I whispered her name absent-minded by the circumstances.

"So cute." Blair chuckled.

"Blair," Christian sneered in a warning, as she tried taking a step toward us.

She snickered shifting to Mckayla. "Is this the wolf who hurt you those terrible years ago, Kayla?" Blair's fangs were out long and proud as I watched her closely.

I tried not to show her my fear but it was hard to do. I was submissive.

Mckayla looked at me as if I'd been some bad memory she wouldn't mind getting rid of. "I'm bored...and hungry. You can talk while I go hunt."

"You hunting human's again?" My voice was slithered in fear but I somehow managed to be heard.

"I give into my hybrids needs. That's how it should always be."

"And who believes that. The Mckayla who's a coward or the woman I love?"

Heat simmered in Mckayla's eyes as her hybrid snarled out. Her hands balled into fist as Elena whispered from pain unseen. "Blair only wants to control you."

"And you don't?" Mckayla said hotly.

"Have I ever--"

Blair sneered exaggeratedly. "You two can argue later."

Mckayla grabbed onto Blair's arm jerking her around. "I can leave at any moment. Don't ever tell me what to do. It will only cause a reaction out of me you do not want."

Blair grunted. "You do know I still have your pack and little family lives in my hand."

Mckayla smiled and I watched as every word formed out her mouth. "Then go and kill them." Mckayla said that as a challenge. A challenge that baffled me. "You wanted the malice and rogue Kayla back. You got her. And I don't give a fuck about anyone."

I was submissive but I could still hold firm and face my enemies. And this version of Mckayla who would one day regret her own words, was risking our pack lives. "Your weak." My statement was made toward Mckayla who ignored me. I continued taking one step forward no matter how shaky it was. "You desire so much but too weak to own up to it. You're father would hate this view of you. Your daughters." I looked away, darkness flare into Mckayla's eyes. I was brave enough to keep talking. "I...hate the sight of who you're trying to be. Coward."

Mckayla snarled, rushing my way and I leaped back as Blair caught a hold of Mckayla. Christian stood blocking Mckayla from me. Mckayla had never come at me in that manner before. If I thought we would ever get back together, that surely dimmed. I loved Mckayla and I knew this Kayla in front of me was not her. This was pure animal. Like every drop of humanity in her devoured by her wolf. Nor her hybrid.

"You don't know anything about me. What I went through because of that man you loved." Mckayla pointed her finger at me. "You no nothing."

"He was your father and I know he loved--"

"I don't give a fuck who he loved. I don't care who you love. That part of me is dead and will never rise again." Mckayla's voice sounded sure of that but my words were a sure knowing as if I stamped and put into legal documentation of our future.

"We'll see about that."

Blair clapped excitedly, pulling our eyes back to her. "I see a challenge in those words." She ran her hand down Mckayla's back which I chose to ignore. "Elena will be nothing but trouble. Always trying to control you." I noticed her eyes scan Mckayla's body purposely trying to annoy me. "How about we make a trade. Elena for this submissive wolf." Blair looked at me. "What's your name again? I always forget the woman who tore Kayla's heart a part. Making her this beautiful rogue before us."

"That's not going to happen." Christian stood more protective of me.

My mind began to think of the possibilities with time being taken. I'd be with Mckayla. I wasn't desperate to be with her. Definitely, not this version of her. But, I knew deep in my heart I could bring her back.

I knew now Elena was not my enemy nor my threat. I was, to myself. My insecurities were like big bright lights bulbs in dark streets. All my fears and self doubts stood out to everyone and it was not a quality to keep any person I wanted. "I'll take the offer."

Everyone, including Mckayla looked at me with astonishment. I stared into Christian's eyes first and somehow he understood. He stepped to the side.

"You can not risk yourself like that," Elena said. "If anything happens to you Mckayla would never forgive herself once she shakes out of this path."

At this moment I saw the support I was avoiding to see. At the end of the day, Elena only wanted what was best for Mckayla. "My life, will be in my hands." I stood slightly straighter.

Mckayla's eyes watched me in silence.
I couldn't tell what she was thinking.
I only knew that this next chapter in my life; in McKayla's and my future would shift to a path unclear. I needed to do this. There was no way I could ever go back to my pack and family with Mckayla beside me.

Holding my ground, I challenged further staring straight at Mckayla.

Christian stepped completely out my way. "Elena..." She looked up to Christian and back at Mckayla.

Slowly Elena walked up toward Christian as I walked toward Blair.

We met in the middle exchanging looks and Elena whispered. "She has never stopped loving you. And loves even in her misery. Bring her back."

I nodded walking completely over and before I could say anything I was swept up by the vampires, gone with Mckayla within my grasp. If I could predict any possibilities for the future, I only knew one thing. Mckayla would be by my side.
