I woke up and felt around the bed and frowned. Electra wasn't laying next to me. I hear movement over near her wardrobe "what are you doing?" I ask her. Grumbling that she wasn't still in bed with me

She walked out and looked at me "I'm just packing some stuff, I want to make sure I have everything" she shrugs her shoulders and goes back in

I get out of bed, walk over to the wardrobe and lean against the doorframe with my arms crossed. I watch her packing clothes into a bag "you do know we're only camping out for one night?" I chuckle at her

She continues to pack clothes "I just want to make sure I have everything I need" she says with a frown on her face

I watch her for a little while longer until she's packed everything she wants "alright done" she says as she finally looks at me "aren't you going to get ready?" She asks me

I smile at her "I'll just wear what I wore yesterday" I grin "we're only going for one night" I walk over to her "then when we come back I want to show you something" I say as I pull her her into a hug

She wraps her arms around me "you can't just do that, now I'm going to wonder what it is until we get back" she sighs

I kiss the top of her head "it will be worth the wait" I smile and kiss her on the head again "we should get going" I say as I let her go and put my clothes on that were sitting on the floor

The shirt still smelled of Electra, it filled me with comfort to have her smell surround me and I hummed content

She grabbed my hand, her bag in the other and we made our way outside where we were told to meet

We make our way outside and Electra lets go of my hand to go talk to her mum and dad. I make my way over to the two escorts who were coming with us

I smile as I approach them "hey Matt, didn't think you'd be on the team" I say as I shake his hand and I nod at the other guy that that was coming with us

"Hey Kyan! Yeah they asked who wanted to come along and I offered my services" he smiles "I knew you'd two be mates" he nods towards Electra "you two just seemed drawn to each other" he grins

I rub the back of my neck "I guess we were.." I smile

Cade's father calls us all over "alright, this is going to be a quick mission" he speaks confidently "you are to head to the cabin in the woods that I have marked on this map" he hands the map to the other guy who's with us

"It should take around 5 hours to get there at a fast pace with no breaks, you will have to camp overnight as you will not make it back here before nightfall" he speaks to all of us "I expect you all back here tomorrow, good luck"

He says as we all pick up our bags with bedding and a couple of tents

Electra comes to stand next to me and holds my hand. Then we head off

The first couple of hours are mostly uneventful, we just keep our silence once we leave our territory so we can listen out for anything nearby

It was strange due to the amount of rogues we had come into the pack lands that we had yet to see any. I hadn't even seen any the couple of days I was out here on my own

We kept walking, making small chatter as we went, we knew we were close when we came across a small clearing. It should only take just under an hour to get there from here

I could tell Electra was getting more anxious the closer we got and I placed my arm around her shoulders "you alright?" I ask her with concern

She nods her head "yeah, I just want to see it, the small piece of my past that's left" she snuggles into my side more

"Won't be long now..." I say as I see the other two stop ahead of us

"Hey Kyan?" Matt says as they both look around them "we have a problem" he says with his arms crossed

Electra and I catch up to the two "what's wrong?"

Matt sighs "there's a pack border here, it's not on the map though" he says as I watch the other guy looking at the map

"Could it be one of our neighbors expansions?" I ask, we know most of the neighboring packs and they wouldn't care if we went on their land

He shakes his head "no, it smells different and this ones fairly recent"

"Shit" I say as I contemplate what to do, we came out here for Electra and it should be her decision "Electra, I want to know what you want to do, we could head back or we can keep going?" I say as I let her go and look into her eyes

She looks around for a bit "we don't have far to go, maybe we can be in and out before we're seen" she says as she steps forward "let's go"

My little rebel

We travel another twenty minutes before we hear them, something moving in the woods all around us

Matt sniffs the air "they're not rogues... they must be part of this pack" he says as he surveys our surroundings

I make a quick decision "everyone, on your knees" we all get on our knees to show we are not a threat

A second later around ten men wearing camo gear and guns appear around us

One of them speaks up "what are you doing on our lands?" He asks aggressively

Being the ranking beta I had to speak to them "we're sorry for the intrusion, we were just wanting to visit a cabin on your land then be on our way" I say as calm as I can

The same guy speaks up again "you knew you were entering our lands" I can hear the accusation in his voice

"We didn't have any record of your land and therefore proceeded with caution as not to disturb you" I say as diplomatic as possible

The men started moving around us, getting closer to us. One of them coming up behind Electra and I "back off" I say aggressively, growling

The same guy speaks up "You see, we know the rules of packs and you're trespassing" the guy pauses "why should we let you go?" He says with a smirk as he leaves his hiding spot

I feel Electra move next to me "please" she says quietly "I just want to know where my mother left me when I was a baby" she pauses "then we will be on our way"

The same guy from before steps forward more and the guy behind us gets closer. I growl lowly and he stops

"What do you mean your mother?" The guy from before asks "that cabin has been empty for almost eighteen years" he says with intrigue

The guy from behind us gets too close to Electra and I lose my temper, jumping up and ready to attack him. I feel something hit me in the neck

I reach up to feel what it is before I feel myself become drowsy

I can hear Electra calling out my name

I was slowly falling

Darkness
