Recap:

I grab Jazz from behind with my teeth and toss her behind me to Raven and Casey. I hear the ripping sound of limbs being torn off and Jazz's screams. I chase after Cal, who has shifted into his wolf form. I leap at his neck when...

He stumbles and falls against the door to the basement. Oh my Moon Goddess. That's where Marcus has Abigayle and the boys. I need to keep Cal away from the basement. I hear shuffling down there and look to the door and then to Cal, hoping he didn't hear it too. His eyes are locked on the door. He looks to me and gives me a wolfy grin. He kicks the door in, snapping it in half and he runs down the steps. I am close on his tail and let out a sigh of relief when i see they aren't down here. The basement door is wide open though and both Cal and I sprint for the door. He makes it there first. I jump out of the doors and am hit with the cool breeze of the night. I look all around me for anyone. I see Marcus holding Rianna and Katlyn with Grantt and Garrett standing behind him holding on to his leg. I should have known she would call Clare and Miranda over. But where is she? Jace, Clare, Jaxon, Kylie, Raven, Miranda, Casey, and Cody are all standing in a group off to the side. The mixture of colors and different sized wolves is astonishing but where the hell is Abigayle? Someone clears their throat behind me. I whip around to see Cal holding Abigayle by her hair, which is held tightly in one hand. In his other hand is a knife and it is being held against her throat. "Looking for something Grayson?" He says with a sly smile.

I shift back to my human form and take a step towards him and Abi, holding a hand out to stop him. "Cal stop, please don't do this. Just let her go." I plead.

"Not a chance." He says. Two small, but loud growls are heard from the trees. I look to see Grantt and Garrett approaching us. Cal looks to the two small boys and his mouth falls open. He looks back to me, "You didn't tell me you had twins brother. How interesting." I take another step towards Abi and Cal brings the knife closer to her neck. The boys growl louder and do the most remarkable thing i have ever seen. They shift. A shift doesn't normally take place in wolves until they are 12 or 13. They are only 3. Everyone gasps at my boys. I smile and try holding back tears. They both are so small and their black and white coats are so fluffy. I can't help but chuckle when they move into an attackers stance. Cal drops the knife in disbelief and Abigayle kicks him in the groin before running to me. Cal drops to the ground in pain. Grantt and Garrett shift back and run to Abigayle and I. They wrap their arms around our legs. "How? How did they do that?" Cal squeaks out.

"Don't hurt our mommy!" Grantt yells at him.

"Or you'll be sorry!" Garrett adds.

"You little pieces of shi-" Cal starts, but is interrupted by a growl from Grantt. He starts to focus really hard on Cal, and doesn't take his eyes off of him. Then, Cal is being lifted into the air. He lets out a yell of surprise as his body is being brought higher and higher off of the ground. Grantt is still focusing on him and is now pointing at Cal. He begins moving his hand towards me. Cal's body follows the direction of Grantt's little hand. Grantt lowers his hand and Cal lands with a thud in front of me. "How did he do that? He has powers?" Cal asks in disbelief.

Garrett begins studying Cal's face, going over every little detail, when Cal screams out.

"I can't see anything! What happened?! Who did this? Give me my sight back! Ugh, my nose. Stop! Give me my scent back as well. This isn't funny. Make it stop!" He cries out.

"Garrett." Abi yells. My son takes his gaze off of Cal and looks up at Abigayle. Cal lets out a sigh and keeps mumbling thank you over and over again. Could Cal be right? Do the boys have powers? Powers wolves have never possessed?

Abigayle's P.O.V.

Ayle told me they'd be special. But special powers, special? I didn't expect this. I call both of the boys over to me and put them behind me. I mind-link Grayson. Do what you have to. I'm taking them away so they don't watch a man die.

I shouldn't be long. I am so sorry for everything, I-

We'll talk about it later. I say before picking the boys up. I place them on the back of Cody's blonde wolf. Marcus comes up behind me with Riana and Katlyn in his arms. Miranda and Clare are walking alongside us in their wolf forms as we retreat back to the house. A loud scream is heard throughout the woods. I know he is dead. I can feel it. I don't let the scream affect me, and walk home without acknowledging it. The boys are asleep by the time we get back to the house. I carry them to the couch and tuck them in. When that is finished, i slide to the floor in front of the armchair and begin to cry.

Happy tears. Confused tears. Sad tears. Angry tears. All of them. Ayle finally speaks up.

At least he's gone now, and won't be trying to track you down and kill you.

She has a point. I need to forget that he was a person too and just be happy for myself and my family. Cal is dead and we all are safe. Finally.
