My breathing was ragged, my head was spinning, and I had no idea where I was supposed to go. What had just happened... it'd sent me over the edge. I felt as if my hair was being ripped out by their roots, as if my body was being torn apart limb by limb. Seeing Imogen was great - fantastic, actually. But to think that I am the one who had caused her to be dragged under by demons, was horrifying. 

Thousands of thoughts were making their way through my brain, and I was struggling to decide what I had to do. I knew that I'd promised Imogen that I'd win, and winning is what I would do. However, it wasn't as if I could walk up to John and challenge him there and then. 

I had to make him believe that he was winning.

What he wants with me I'm unsure. Whether he wants me dead or alive, he still has to believe that he has the upper hand. When in reality, I have the upper hand.

A sly grin spread across my face as an idea began to inform in my head; for only two seconds later it faded. What was I supposed to say to Hale? Or my dad? They wouldn't let me do anything, that I know for sure. Heck, they'd both step in front of a bullet for me.

I ran my hand over my face in frustration, sighed, then walked away from the river. It'd only taken me ten minutes to get here, and it would take ten minutes to get back. 

Over this past week I've felt like I've had no time to myself. I haven't been able to make my own decisions without Hale or someone else interfering. And it was damn right beastly. In fact, it could be classed as sexist. 

Clenching my fists, my mind flashed back to when Hale had put me below him.

"I don't want them to fight for me. And technically I'm Alpha too, meaning I get to make decisions too." I glared up at Hale, watching as his eyes began to blacken. 

"No. You're Luna - I am the Alpha. I will always be Alpha; you'll always be Luna. Understand?" 

"Understand?" I barked loudly. "Hale, it should be our decision - not just yours. What happened to working as a team?" 

I was still pretty mad at him for that - as well as being mad at him for a bunch of other things. 

I know that I should confront him about it, but at the same time I didn't want to cause even more trouble. We're both going through a lot, and it's best if we stick together. 

By the time that I had reached the pack house gates everyone was awake, but no one was acting normally. The field was covered with both wolves and humans, fighting against each other - preparing for John and his pack coming. 

That was all it took for the blood to rush to my cheeks and for the stone wall to receive a punch. 

"Georgia?" A quiet, hush voice said. 

"Dad?" I turned around, frowning at him.

"Oh, it is you. Are you... are you alright?" He took a step forwards and placed a hand on my shoulder. 

"I'm fine, dad." I sighed, trying to calm my temper down. 

"No you're not." He stated. "What's wrong?"
