Korinna's Point Of View

I jolt awake hearing alarms blaring and Laura runs into my room. "Up, Kor! We have to protect you and your children. The evil rogues are on the attack! They're even coming from the crypts as the prophecy spoke of!" She says panicking.

"Take the children, I have to find my sister!" I say weakly hobbling to the door. Im greeted by Amelia and Grace.

"Let's go." Amelia says as Grace holds a brown haired boy with his face buried in her neck. Laura follows us with Brandon and Brookelynn in her arms. The doctor opens a secret passage that leads to a safehouse.

As we run along the passage ways, the torches behind us go dark. "Only Royals can light the torches." Laura explains in a soft whisper. We finally reach the end of the passage and go to step out of the passage when harsh whispers are heard echoing through the tunnel in front of us. Laura mindlinked an order into the walls to snuff the torches. I almost gag at the rancid smell.

"Rogues from the crypt. They always smell awful." Laura mindlinks not daring to speak. We heard one of the, hopefully, two sniff loudly before enitting a disgusting moan.

"They're in the passages." They hiss as the sound of clothes ripping flow through the chilly, damp air. The sound of untamed claws scratching along the ground echo closer and closer. I push everyone behind me and stand as brave as I can manage in my highly weakened state.

"There you bitches are!" One of them who didn't shift says with a yellowed smile that had maggots crawling around the gums. Laura turns to vomit at the sight. "Three queens, the to-be-crowned queen, and the heirs. All in one place. You did well my daughter." The man says as Grace thrusts the boy from her arms into Amelia's.

"Father, it was disgusting having to play the part of her mate. Can we make this quick so that I can return to my true mate." She says rolling her eyes. I glare at her as Amelia breaks down sobbing.

"Bring me the tiny princess. I'll kill her first. We'll start youngest to oldest." The disgusting creature before us sneers looking at Laura. Grace grabs Brookelynn from Laura forcefully before smirking at me.

"Im so glad I rejected you. You were always weak. You're weaker now from giving birth. Twas nice seeing you again." She says spitting in my face. A growl rumbles through my chest as I shift into my white and silver wolf and attack her father. With that cue, Amelia gives Laura the boy and grabs Brooke before slicing a claw through Grace's jugular. Snarls ripple through the air as the sounds of our guards fill the passage way. If I can just keep fighting, then they will take over for me. I let out a raged howl as he injects me with wolfsbane forcing me to shift human again. I stand before him purely naked then I recall that the prophecy spoke of a witch's child. I mumble a few instinctive words in an unknown tongue.

Andrea's Point Of View

I watch in amazement as Korinna begins to glow white and her hair flows around her as her eyes open pure white with no pupil or iris. "You are unworthy of being a werewolf let alone a queen. Grace, you are hereby banned from all of werewolf kind." The moon goddess says speaking through Korinna to a dying Grace before turning to Grace's father. "You will spend eternity in limbo and will forever be tortured. The things you did to others will rip through you mercilessly. You will pay."

I smile proudly as she gently lowers before panic hits when I see that she is unconscious.
