Stepping outside, my body instantly wants to recoil back after feeling the cold air nip at me. But powering through the icy wind I turn to my right following the smell's of my mate and friends that continues into the eerie woods.

As I got closer I could faintly hear shouts and arguing and started to pick up my pace. Finally reaching a clearing and looking at the scene ahead of me with a jolt in my heart.

There my friends and mate stood back's tense and feet spread, ready for a fight, staring at the tree line as I furrow my eyebrows and enhance my sight to try and see what they're looking at, then with a tense surprise do I notice the copious amount of glowing eyes staring back at them that were hidden behind the brush.

I rush to my friends landing at Killian's side to see him dazed and confused as he looked on. "Killian?" I question, worried, as he finally turns to me.

"I mindlinked the Starlight pack since they still owe us that debt of warriors, they'll be arriving soon to help." He reassures as I look back at the glowing eyes staring back at us, unblinking.

One of the pair of eyes starts coming forward revealing Olivia as she steps out in the moonlight the playful smile still stuck on her face. "I figured you both would be too selfish to stay away from each other so I brought a little back up myself." She states as the wolves come out all varying sizes and colors but showing the same nasty snarl on their face. "Looks like your dad wasn't the only one who could put together a band of rogues." She teases coming closer to us, every step she took making my heart beat louder, my skin become colder and my fists clench tighter in anticipation.

"I guess it takes a special type of psychotic to do that." I spit out as she stops, about a foot in front of me, teasing me, as if daring me to run up to her. But I wouldn't, because I knew if I let my anger get the best of me I'd die and I couldn't because I had a promise to keep.

"Yeah that and persuasion. You see that rogue that you killed the other day was a long time friend of these rogues." The grin that starts to form on her face almost makes me take a step back as it keeps growing, the skin wrinkling around it as it came up to her eyes the tips of the grin brushing against her eyelashes, mimicking the grinch. "So I told them as long as they kill all of you they will get vengeance and a pack with me as their Alpha." She finishes winking at me as I furrow my eyebrows in distaste. "So they told their friends, and their friends told their friends and here we are, me with hundreds of wolves and you and your little friends looking back at me in fear."

"Don't mistake our silence for fear." A voice suddenly says shocking me  as my alerts were on high. I recognize it as Catherine correcting Olivia as we all turn to her. "We are the Ornus pack and we don't fear the enemy." She says with a straight face as I hold back a smile of pride.

The unnatural grin that was plastered on Olivia's face immediately falls as she stares at the tough blonde, "Fear this." She states before two wolves rush from the tree line heading straight for Catherine as she stumbles trying to brace herself for the impact we all go suddenly to push her out of the way or stand in front of her but before we can a wolf charges through us making Adam fall to the ground as we stare shocked when it catches one of the wolves by the neck mid sprint as he bites down sharply quickly stopping the wolfs movements and landing with a tumble and throwing it on the floor as it's body twitches.

Then suddenly wolves start darting past us bumping and shoving against us and mimicking a mirror the rogue wolves come rushing out as they meet in the middle of the field finally, as an eruption of snarls, teeth snapping and cracks as necks and bones are being broken sound through the air I lose sight of my friends in the chaos of the battle.

I abruptly am pushed to the ground a white and brown wolf with patches of fur stripped off its hide showing it was old was on top of me as it snaps at me with my forearm nestled under its neck trying to keep it away from my face but my strength was going down.

It stayed pinning me down as I tried to shove it off, its razor sharp teeth inching closer and closer to my face, its breath reeking of blood and heat as it was all I could feel and smell making my anger grow.

Suddenly the wolf on me was now on the floor with an enormous brown wolf standing over it as it whines from the grip around its neck before its finally silenced with a quick jolt from the wolf pulling its neck away from the rest of its body.

The enormous wolf then turns to me and rushes towards me as I stumble back before I catch its eyes and feel the familiar pull of the mate bond.

Killian.

He approaches me licking my face and using his snout to push me up off the ground. I stand up hurriedly placing my hand on his head in reassurance looking out onto the field spotting Adam jump through the air shifting and landing on a copper wolf who's mouth was sunken into my brothers arm.

Blood rushes through my ears as I run towards them but a copper wolf steps in front of me charging towards me as I feel my nails elongate and as if on instinct I dodge its charging figure and in one swift movement I wrap my arm around its neck trapping it in the crook of my elbow and grab its snout abruptly turning it awkwardly to the right until I hear a pop indicating I snapped its neck with a muffled crack as it falls to the ground me on top as I hurriedly shuffle standing up and notice Catherine near me struggling with two wolves as I tackle one extending my claws and in a graceful move slit its throat and move look to the other to watch as she pushes it to the ground stepping on its ribcage roughly as various cracks are heard and the wolf whines before silencing.

I look towards her and give her a nod and turn away to be met with blonde hair whipping through the air fighting a group of rogues circling her and Killian, across the field.

A jolt of surprise went through me when the blonde woman turned to reveal Catherine. I quickly turn back around to be met with Catherine her eyes glowing golden, my eyes widen in confusion and fear stumbling backwards before looking down at the wolf she had killed recognizing it didn't smell of a rogue but of a starlight pack member.

The world around me suddenly freezes as the Catherine in front of me, walks towards me  every step she took bringing goosebumps to a different section of my cold sweat covered skin as her platinum blonde hair started to bleed away revealing brown hair as her face blurs as it takes the shape of Olivia's a wicked grin spreading across her face, "Surprise." she spits as my mouth falls open.
