The car ride back was silent. No one spoke a word and the only sound was coming from the radio. It was tense and emotional between everyone in the car. We had all lost someone important because of the rogues.

I gulped nervously as the car pulled up to the house. The other car had beaten us back and Blu and Hannah had already jumped out the car and were rushing towards their mates who were out towards the back of the house.

"They didn't cause any trouble. We don't have anything to worry about, right?" I asked before we all got out the car. Lila and Hallie got out the car, and Darcy sat in the front seat rubbing her head.

"Rogues this close to the territory is always dangerous. They're never around for fun. They only want to cause trouble," Darcy told me. We got out the car and I walked alongside her to ensure she was alright.

She looked pale and stressed. I could imagine why. She had lost one of her sons to rogues, she had lost a daughter in-law too. She'd been through hell and back.

Seeing rogues probably set off a variety of emotions that made her on edge. I hoped that Al was around so he could comfort her. She needed it.

The snow crunched beneath my feet. I walked cautiously, watching the adults huddle together in a group. The oldest of the three brothers was Nicolas, and he noticeably towered over the group of adults standing around him.

As I walked towards where Liam was standing with Leon and Cass, I noticed the stressed look on Liam's face. He looked uncomfortable and uneasy. His beast was close, on edge.

I felt the wind get knocked out of me as I flew through the air and landed hard on the snow. A furry body landed on top of me and I wheezed out.

Lucas' wolf was standing over me, a playful look on his stupid face. I grinned and coughed. My body ached, but the pain eased quickly.

"I think you broke my back!" I laughed at him. His beast looked proud that he had taken me down.

Lucas suddenly flew to the side and tumbled hard on the ground. I turned my head and saw Liam's elevated foot. He had kicked Lucas away.

"What's wrong with you, moron? You could've hurt her," Liam scolded him. He had a fresh bruise on his jaw, a bruised and cut eyebrow and a cut on his cheekbone. He must have been sparring earlier.

Liam grabbed me and helped me to my feet, wiping the snow off my clothes. I smiled at him.

"It's fine Liam. I'll get him back. He won't be expecting it," I said, looking back to Lucas who got up from the snow and shook out his fur. He huffed at me.

"I still owe him the ass beating that I promised," Liam growled out before he lunged away from me and shifted. He landed right in front of Lucas and they immediately began to fight each other.

I knew that Liam was just being playful, but there was definitely a side to him that was serious. He took me serious.

I rolled my eyes at the two of them and walked over to where the adults were speaking. The three brothers looked incredibly stressed and in deep thought.

Al looked pissed and Darcy had her own irritated expression on her face. They were all bothered by the presence of the rogues.

"You don't think they're making their way here, do you?" Nicolas questioned. I looked to him, and noticed his eyes were fixed on me. He was asking me.
