Stronger in a pack

Intruders

Jasmine's pov

The number of the guards outside of the cells lowered, leaving the minimum number needed. Knowing that means that the marking ceremony is going to start. The hope of Josh and the other coming in time is lowered. I hear a groan coming from the cell beside me and notice that Eric is starting to wake up. "Hey are you ok?" I ask knowing he isn't ok physically.

"Getting there. How long was I out?" He asks sitting up.

"Not sure. Has to have been hours." I say. It's so dark down here we can't even tell if it's day or night, adding in the fact that I have been out for a bit myself.

"How about you?" He asks me looking over.

"I can move now. My ribs are still a bit sore but other than that I'm good." I say. Since my wolf has been resting while we were gone, she has lots of energy to heal my wounds. We sit there for a minute before we hear foot steps coming down the hall.

"Alex said we can switch out if you want to go watch." The newcomer says to the guard standing outside of our cells.

"Great. You know the drill those two don't get anything. If they act out tell Alex and he will punish them." The guard says.

"I know the drill. Go before you miss it." The other one says and goes to stand in the old ones place. Everything is quiet as we listen to the guard walking and then leaving through the door. In this section of the cells there are only three of them. Mine, Eric's and the other one which usually has two girls. They usually have two guards per cell but now there is only one in total.

"Ok lets go." The guard says coming over to my cell. He unlocks the cell and then moves onto Eric cell. "Hurry we don't have much time." The voice says.

"Greg?" I ask looking up at the new guard. I walk closer and confirm my question. I give him a big hug.

"Yes it me. Come on we need to help the others get the girls. Eric do you need help?" He asks turning to him.

"No help but I won't be able to fight if it comes down to it." He says standing up slowly.

"I can help." A voice comes from the cell closer to the door. We turn to see a women in the cell. She looks a little older than Summer.

"Sarah?" I ask looking for confirmation. Other than looking older she looks the same as the last time I was locked in Alex's cells.

"Yeah. I can help Eric. I know a little about magic and my mom is out there. Alex is making her cast the spell on Skylar's mark." She says and that's all it takes for Greg to unlock her cell as well.

"Ok lets go we need to stop the marking." I say as we all head to the exit, getting ready to fight the guard at the door. When we get to the door I expected to see another one of Alex's guard that was going to try to stop us but I smile when I see that it's Josh. I run over and give him a big hug.

"Are you ok?" He asks pulling me away from him. Looking over my body.

"Yeah. Come on we have to save our daughters from these people. I'm not willing to lose Summer again and not letting them take Skylar." I say grabbing his hand and pulling him.

"Hey you guys go ahead. I'm going to get Eric out of here. He isn't in the best condition." Greg says stopping us.

"Yeah. His mate needs him to be conscious when we get home. Take good care of him. He is very important to Summer." I say to him.

"Of course. I've never let you down before and I'm never going to let that happen. When you find the girls give them a hug for me." He says before he and Eric go off in the other direction. "Sarah you should go with them. Help them they are going to need it." He adds disappearing around a corner.

"Come on lets go." Josh says as we head out to the battle. We stop in the doorway and look as everyone is fighting each other. I recognize many people fighting and some I know are from Deans pack but don't actually know who they are. "Ready?" Josh asks looking at me.

"Ready lets kick some ass." I say before running into the mess. I end up taking out a rouge within a minute and work my way through the crowd ignoring the pain from my ribs. I want to find my daughters before anything else happens to them.

Summer's pov

The pain went on for a while before suddenly it stopped. "Hey are you ok?" Jamie asks holding my face. I never got the chance to answer before someone calls out.

"The border has been breeched we are under attack." Jamie looks out into the crowd and watches as some of his men are being killed.

"Jamie we need to get out of here." Alex says joining us on the ground below the stages. I lift my head to look around.

"Shoot. Come on we need to get you out of here." He says grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the woods. I don't have much energy from going through the pain and he ends up just picking me up.

Behind us I am hear the fighting going on and I hope that Skylar is ok. The screams behind us are getting quieter the farther we get from the stage area suddenly we stop.

"Where do you think your taking her?" I hear a voice say and I know that it's Zander.

"Get out of my way." Jamie says and steps around him only to be stopped again by Dominic.

"There is no where to run." He says and Jamie tightens his hold on me.

"Give me back my mate." I hear Dean say and I can feel my heart quicken. Jamie then sets me down but holds me against him with one arm. He then pulls something out of pocket and then holds it against my head. Since when did he have a gun? I think.

"Don't come any closer." Jamie yells at them. They all stop not willing to risk him shooting me. I can feel the tears flowing faster down my face.

Skylar's pov

After being dragged down the isle and up to the stage and we stop beside Jamie. "So any last words before you belong to me?" Jamie asks me.

"Nope. Because I know that it won't happen. I have a mate back home waiting for me to return so he can mark me himself." I say. I look out over the crowd to see if I can see anybody I know. However I don't get a chance to when Alex starts the meeting.

"We are gathered here today to witness the marking of Jamie and Skylar. Together they will be trained to take over this pack." Alex announces and everyone claps. "Jamie if you would get into position." He says and Jamie grabs onto me, holding me tight against his body. He then moves my hair to the side exposing the side of my neck.

"Hold still and it won't hurt as much." Jamie says to me. Nothing happens next because a loud scream interrupts us. We all look over to Summer who drops to the ground in front of her chair and was screaming in pain. There was this glow coming off her body and she was gripping herself trying to make it stop.

"Summer!" Jamie yells throwing me to the side. I fall onto the hard stages. When I sit up I notice that no one came to grab me because everyone was watching what was happening to Summer. Normally I would have tried to run but since she was my sister I just sat there and watch.

"Come on." Someone says gripping my arms and pulling me away from the stage.

"Let me go." I yell to the man but we just continue to walk away.

"Skylar." I hear another voice say, one that I know. I look up and see Jarrod. Once the first person lets go of my arm I run straight over to him. I wrap my arms around his neck and he hugs me back. "Did they hurt you?" He asks looking over me. There isn't a mark because I have healed from the mini beating they gave me. They only ended up knocking me out.

"I'm fine now. Are the others here?" I ask.

"Yes. Come on we have a few more people to save." He says and we head back to the stage. Once we get there we watch as many people are being killed. My mom is fighting a couple of people and I run over to help her. Once we kill the two rouges we look at each other.

"Come on we need to save Summer." Mom says and we run into the woods on the side of the stage. Jarrod and dad were following us along with a girl that I don't recognize but since dad is taking to her I know she is on our side.
