Ariel's POV

Once we're outside our rivals territory, our plan is put into action. We want the element of surprise. This fight is ours, we will win. I know it. I am an alpha. I lead my pack to victory, I will settle for nothing else.

My pack surrounds the area, and I slip off Justin's back. Slowly, the plan is put into play. My wolves attack their patrols, not letting anyone warn them of what's coming.

Well, that is until the warning goes off and wolves come out to meet ours. It starts to get heated very quickly. Wolves fly in all directs while I just make my way to Raphael. I can feel him. He's so close.

Anyone that dares come close to me is dead within seconds. My wolf with me as we power through anyone oncoming. We are here for our mate. Together we will get to him-

I freeze, my packs cries shooting through my head. I turn and watch my wolves. We weren't ready... they weren't ready. I can see it now, my wolves... they're hurt...

'Retreat.' I say in the link. Watching the damage. 'RETREAT!' I scream through the link. I watch them, tears in my eyes. We had a big pack, I trained them well. But they weren't ready for a real battle. They weren't...

But I am.

'Hold your ground at the territory line. Do not let them leave their territory.' I say and I disappear into the house.

I'm here for Raphael. I'm not leaving without him.

I throw people away from me. They're nothing compared to me and my wolf. We are the strongest wolves, because we know the pain of having your mate so close yet so far.

I can see Raphie... and he lifts his head, meeting my eye. I run to him but I'm thrown back by a force I was blind to in my quest for Raphael.

I land hard on my back but am quick to get back up.

"You can't escape silly girl. You should have retreated with your pack." It's not the alpha... Maybe Beta or their third...

Either way, no one is going to get between me and Raphael.

"Raphie," I whisper, looking at him and ignoring the man in front of me. "Raphael..."

"I'm over here woman." The beta or third whoever, whatever, growls.

I launch myself at him in rage. No one else understands my pain. No one else is as ruthless as a woman. Not even the strongest alpha. A woman has something a man doesn't have. A bravery? they don't possess. Bravery isn't the right word. Maybe it's a mother, daughter, wife, kind of instinct. Whatever it is, I know there's a man equivalent.

I'm riding a high on my instinct right now and this man can't hold up on his own.

Until I realize he's no longer alone.

I'm bombarded by men, strong men. Coming at me in all directions. A punch, a kick, a slap, a spit. I hold out as much as I can, but even a woman riding on an adrenaline high can be overpowered.

"Go Ariel." Raphael whispers. "Run. I know you'll come back to me."

His voice is hoarse, barely audible through my ongoing battle.
