Seeing blood trickle down Dereks leg while the knife is slowly pulled out sends a new wave of rage through my core. Then watching the hunter turn to me with a sadistic smile and the bloody knife in hand had me teetering on the edge of my control.

"Watch closely mutt, I think I need to even his legs out... what do you think?" The hunter chuckled after another two rogues grabbed me from behind.

"Lay one finger on him again and I promise you'll wish you killed me." I says deadly calm and serious after retracting my claws.

My wolf and I are furious at all this man has done. Both on the edge of losing the little control we have, fighting the urge to rip them to shreds.

"Well, you did just kill one of my mutts. Perhaps I should kill someone of yours, Patrick here seems to be yours now..." he says walking towards him.

Patrick is fighting against the rogue but failing, given their size difference. I quickly look over to Derek to see his bleeding has slowed down, he looks weak but his wolf is doing what he should.

"It's funny that you have sided with this bìťćh and it's going to cost you your life, you traitorous mutt!" The hunter snarls.

"If she gets out then I dont care! You've taken everything from me anyway!" Patrick growls back at him.

"Oh, you mean that dear brother of yours? The one that got you in this mess?" The hunter chuckles.

"Yes. The only family I had that you killed!" Patricks got tears in his eyes but he's not sad, he's angry.

The hunter walks up to him, knife in hand still. Leaning closer to his face, gliding the knife over his cheek.

"We never killed your brother, the bìťćh you're trying to protect did. Believe me, he was too good to kill." The hunter sneers, taking a few steps back.

Patricks face just pales before looking over at me, shock clear on his face.

"You killed him?" He whispers painfully.

"Yes she did!" The hunter pipes in first, "Remember that mission we told you he died on? Three of our men dead by her hand, your brother being one of them!" He yells while pointing at me.

"You tell him that, like it was my mission to find and kill them! They came to our territory and attacked me when I was alone, I didn't even know him!" I yell at the hunter.

Patrick just looks at me with so much hurt on his face that it rips me apart. He always knew his brother had died but to find out it was by my hand during that attack, he must hate me.

"I'm so sorry, Patrick... If it wasn't life or death, I wouldn't have." I tell him truthfully.

"He was still a teenager Mila... He had so much still to live for... Atleast if this pŕìćķ kills me, I'll be with him again." Patrick says slouching, giving up on the fight.

We can hear fighting outside, what I'm assuming is rogues and Dereks main force fighting each other. Between growls, gun shots and yelling my brain is going into over load with what's going on.

Wait, he said teenager! My wolf chimes in while I'm working out a game plan.

I look up to see the hunter go towards Derek again, seeming happy with Patricks misery.

"Wait!" Everyone looks over to me.

"If he's who I think he is, your brother is alive." I say looking Patrick in the eye to show I'm serious.

He just mutters a quiet "sure", clearly not believing me.

"Look at me Patrick." I plead. He turns his head to face me slightly.
