"Everybody forgot about this place, but I didnt." Lily mumbles. "Everyone moved on, as if it never happened, but it did! My mother, their parents—"

She motions to the teens. "— all died in that fire, and for what!? So you could live your life after failing your mission!?"

"Lily..." William whispers as the omega lets tears stream down her cheeks.

"You thought saving me and letting your friend adopt me would save you," she sniffles and points a shaking hand at him, "but all you did was give me a chance to get even."

She moves her aim towards Max. Andy shouts in objection, and she looks at him. "Dont worry. It'll only hurt a lot."

Her finger grazes the trigger, ready to tug on it, when a sudden batch of screams bursts from her allies. She looks, and its as if things move in slow motion.

There, right there, is a determined Louis strutting into the clearing. His eyes are locked on Lily, but he fires and reloads his bow multiple times at the teens holding guns to his family, and disarms those that approach him before snapping their necks.

"You," he growls as he sinks his claws into the last young beta charging at him, "drop the damn gun."

Before she can speak, he detaches a knife from a body and tosses it. Within seconds, Lily shouts as it delivers a sharp cut to her hand and she instinctively lets the gun go.

"You think youre so smart?" Louis growls again. "You think that you could do all this, and get by with it!?"

She swallows, but stands her ground.

"Lou—" William coughs as they fall from the knees and lay down.

"I got this." He says cracks his knuckles and neck. "Your mother was a conniving bitch who used everyone for her own will. She was too much of a pussy to do things herself so she hired people out, even us who she claimed were like her sons. She took her safety for granted, spoiled herself in the success of death and rampage, and used us and everyone else as a means to do it!"

"Thats not true!"

"She was smart though." Louis ignores her, and Lily falls back a step when he gets too close. "She never showed her face to her targets. You, however, made that grave mistake."

"I—"

"I saved you when people wanted you dead, gave you a home, and you decimated everything!" Louis screams punching her in the face. "You want to be like your mother!? Fine! Get up, fight me, and end up six feet under like her!"

Lily stands, and Louis allows her a moment to do so properly. Both omegas put their hands up in defense, circling each other.

The first one to make a move was the younger omega, and she tries a fake out before throwing a low kick. Louis dodges swiftly, catching her foot and pulling her. His other hand instinctively catches her by her neck when she's forced forward, and he squeezes.

"You were trained," he mumbles disapprovingly, "and thats all you have? Weak shots?"

She smirks, and Louis gasps when he feels a sharp pain in his side. He pulls away from her, and looks down to see a knife sticking in him. He pulls it out with a grunt, panting.

"Consider that a gift." He looks at Lily, and bends backwards when she takes a swipe at him with yet another blade. He catches her hand, twists it, and elbows her jaw.

"As if I needed one." He uses the knife and slices her arm. She screams as she falls to one knee. "Wanna dance with knives, sweetheart? Youre looking at a pro."

Lily drops her blade, catching it in her free hand and stabbing his thigh. The older omega shouts before kicking her stomach.

"Dont play games," he hears William gasp out, "end her!"

Louis staggers back a little, clenching the knife in his hand as Lily stumbles to her feet. She glares at him, and he glares back.

"Come on, old dog," she chuckles darkly as she wipes the blood from her mouth, "lets see if you can keep up."

He charges for her and she charges for him, starting a clash between the two. Louis flips her to the ground, repeatedly punching her face, but she arches her back and kicks her long legs up and around his neck before dragging him down into the dirt. He sinks his teeth into her thigh, her screams echoing through the woods, and sinks his claw into whatever body part he could get to— her hip, and rib.

"Fuck!" She lets go, and Louis gets up. He doesnt, however, move away in time because Lily makes a desperate lunge and slices his face. He covers himself, feeling the pain near his eyes and he tries to blink away the blood that was pouring into his sight.

He was literally seeing red.

"Momma!" He hears his pups scream, and he weakly stumbles away from his opponent in a daze. That wasnt enough, though, because he feels a strong grip tossing him to the ground and a wet, cold piece of metal pressed to his neck.

He pants, eyes closed from the pain and blood, and hears her laugh. "I wanted you to watch, but if you have to go first..."

She clicks her tongue and presses the blade harder into his jugular. "Then so be it."

He gasps when he hears a loud bang, followed by the deathly silence of shock. He couldnt see it, but he feels Lily's body fall on top of him as the knife relaxes against his throat— no longer threatening him.

"No!!" Sophia screams, and Louis could tell the beta was yearning for whatever just happened to not be true. "Lily!!"

He feels his heart ache for her, because the bond must be burning and torturing her beyond his imagination— after all, losing your mate is losing half of you.

"I-I..." Louis hears Andy mumble, and he shakingly reaches up to wipe the blood from his eyes to see his young pup holding the gun Lily dropped. He must've crawled during the fight, and reached the weapon. Either way, the gun was aimed to where Lily was sitting over Louis and the wounded mother knew what happened— Andy shot Lily.

And that, my friends, is that. Not the end, but somebody's end for sure :)
