Aria's P.O.V

I tensed as I recognised that horrible gross smell as a rouges scents. "What's wrong Aria?" Chase asked. "Rouges, at least 4 or 5 of them." I said before I took off running at full speed and Chase wasn't far behind. We met Andrew and Justin at the lake. "Drew, do you smell that." I asked. "Smell wha-" he stopped mid sentence when the wind blew towards us again. "Yeah, I smell it." He said through gritted teeth. "I smell it too." Justin said. "I can smell about 4 or 5 of rouges at best. Whether there warriors or not, I'm not close enough to tell." I said as I sniffed the air again. "Call Declan, tell him we'll meet him where the rouges are!" I said sternly.

Andrew nodded and see him concentrate on the mind link. "Well?" I asked once he look like he was finished. "Declan said that they knew about the rouges already and didn't want to disturb us." Drew answered me. "What is it going to take to get it in his thick skull that he can asked for anything he needs!" I said while rubbing my forehead. "I know, but he did say that they found where the rouges are. They're in human form, which is making it impossible to tell if their warriors or not. I said we'll be right over." He said. "Well let's go." I said. "Aria.... Do you think you should wait at the pack house? I don't want you near any rouges that could take you away from me!" Chase pleaded. I looked at Andrew, then at Chase, "Did you not see the size of her wolf! The rouges wouldn't stand a chance at the size of her or the training she has!" Drew practically yelled at Chase.

I put my hand on Andrew's arm. "Andrew calm down. I don't need another fight on my hands." I said in a soothing manner. Andrew calmed down after a few moments. I looked at Chase and he gave me a grateful look. "C'on, we've got some rouges to find." I said. "Declan said there at least 50 leagues inside the western border." Andrew said. "And we're at the north border." Justin said, and I nodded. We headed off to the western border, but not before shifting into our wolves first.

We ran for 15 to 20 minutes until we see Declan, Mathew, and Ian at the edge of a tree line. There in front of us 4 rouges, 2 standing, 2 lying down and looked badly injured, while the other 2 looked like they took a beating. I'm guessing that there all siblings because because they all look alike. 1n male and female where standing, guarding over the others and occasionally looking at the others in worry. 'We're going to surround them and ambush them. The 2 on the ground won't be a problem.' Matthew said to us and we did as he said. I got into the direction that wind was facing. When the wind blew in my face, I smelled their scents again and their scents made my blood ran hot.

The only other time my blood did that was when another rouge came onto Declan's territory and he turned out to be.... 'WAIT!' I screamed through mind link. 'What is it Aria?' Ian said. I didn't say anything, just walked out into the rouges line of eye sight. 'ARIA!! ARE YOU NUTS!' Declan screamed in my head. The male standing shifted quickly and took a defensive stance in front of the other 3. Declan, Matthew, Ian, Justin, Andrew and Chase bolted out of the tree line and took defensive stance in front of me and growled a warning at the rouges, and I growled at them to shut their yap. They did and looked at me in surprise.

I stepped forward slowly. The male rouge growled a warning at me and Andrew, Declan and the others returned it. I turn back to face them and growled at them. I turned back to a surprised male rouge. I took another two steps forward and show him my mark. He looked at it, then at me, then at my mark again. That's when something clicked within him. I howled to him. He howled back to me. When I find descendants of my ancestors pack members, my always blood runs hot and I howl at them and they should howl back in response.

'Aria!? What are doing?' Asked a nervous Declan. I ignored him. I looked back at the two rouges on the ground and whine at the male rouge standing. He whined back and went off behind a tree, shifted and came back out. While he's doing so I did the same thing and surprisingly I came out first. The female rouge looked at me with relief. When the male rouge came back out behind a tree he said the one word that confused Justin and Chase, but gave the others answers. "Luna."
