"Ali, I'm so glad you're okay. I heard that there were rogues and I thought you were dead or something ridiculous!" Lucas' voice exclaimed as arms wrapped around me. I winced in pain as the male crushed my open wounds.

He quickly pulled away, sensing my discomfort and I smiled weakly at him. Lucas looked down at me, studying me for injuries. Behind him, I saw Leon and Quo jogging towards us.

Quo's father was the head tracker of the pack, and Quo was following quickly in his father's footsteps even though he was still a trainer for the warriors. I saw his nostrils flare as he began to sniff at the air.

"Follow the scent before it fades in the wind! Go! Go!" Henry shouted, waving his hand. Several wolves, including Quo rushed off, tracking the scent of the rogues.

My mind was wild with thoughts as I watched everyone run around like headless chickens. No one was calm. Rogues had somehow made it into the territory without anyone noticing. It was almost impossible for it to happen.

With the amount of patrols around the borders and the amount of fantastic noses in the pack, intruders should almost never get into the pack.

"Are you okay? You're bleeding," Leon asked me as he rushed over. He ignored whoever was calling his name and grabbed my jaw, studying my face for injuries.

I felt weak. My whole body was crying in agony and I wanted to collapse. I felt my blood running down my legs and along my arms and torso.

"Liam, are you alright? I saw you—"

I heard a voice from behind me and I turned my head. I watched Veronica run up to Liam who had just pulled on a pair of shorts that he must've found in a tree. He ignored her and dodged her extended arm as she reached out to grab him.

My beast purred as he walked over to me. He didn't bother asking if we were alright, he grabbed me and pulled into a tight hug that hurt but felt good at the same time.

His torso was warm and I felt his anger seeping off him. He was still pissed, but I could feel it getting easier for him as he hugged me. My body seemed to ease of the pain only a little and I sighed into Liam's chest as I relaxed in his arms.

"Liam!" Henry yelled out. Liam's chest rumbled and he let out a low growl, a warning to Henry. But Henry wasn't taking it.

"Liam! Get over here now," Henry growled out deeply. Liam grunted and pulled away from me. He looked down at me and cupped my chin.

Liam kissed the top of my head and then walked away. He shot me a worrying look that told me he cared and didn't want to leave my side. I felt better already.

"I'll be with you the minute I can get away," Liam told me. I nodded my heavy head at him as I turned back to Lucas and Leon who were looking around.

The scent of the rogues was fading. The wind was sweeping it up and carrying it through the trees and out into the open air where we would eventually lose their complete trail.

They were all dead and that was the important thing.

My beast whined painfully. She didn't like that the rogues had just come through and caused such a big commotion. Their only purpose was to cause destruction and pain to everyone around them.

I let out a low growl as I kicked one's leg. Lucas grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the bodies on the ground. I let him tug me away as I knew that I needed to get back to the pack doctor.
