LittleAngel98 thank you for your votes on all my chapters so far. It means the world to me. I almost gave up on this story but you gave me some reason to continue.

All I ever wanted was a simple life, a loving husband and later on a child or two. With Rian, all those thoughts and yearning for what I wanted increased in tje beginning and with time I finally gave up on everything I ever dreamed of. I know now that with Alec I can start dreaming again and I know if we survive this war that he will be dreaming with me.

I woke up feeling loved and it felt good, I forgot what that felt like. I just hope that I am capable of returning the same amount of love for Alec, he deserves that and so much more. I am the luckiest woman alive to have a mate like him and I will destroy Rian for wanting to take him away for me.

My thoughts were interrupted when Em came rushing into my room, panic was written all over her face.

"Trace, come on, it's starting" she almost yelled.

She didn't have to tell me what it was that was starting, I knew it was THE day we were all waiting for anxiously.

"Where is Alec?" I couldn't help but ask. I hope he wasn't being reckless and went ahead without us.

"He's with Derek, giving out orders to the fighters and warriors." Emily said rushed.

"We are not ready, the Guardians were informed about this but those who agreed to help hasn't arrived yet." I could feel the panic rising but I held it down, now was not the time.

"Ready or not, Guardians or not, it started and now it has to be finished, we got you and your parents and my magic back in full swing" Emily said in a serious tone and she was right.

"We have to get the rest of the Pack to safety" I said, got dressed in a record time and hurried out the door.

Pregnant pack members and those with small cubs were instructed to go and hide in the tunnels below the pack house along with any cub younger than eighteen, which left us with twenty warriors, forty soldiers and twenty six pack members with a few skills that wanted ro join in this war, excluding my parents and myself, Em, Quinn and Alec.

When we got to the open field, everyone was on guard and looking anxiously towards the woods. Alec ran towards me and engulfed me into a tight hug, words were not needed. I could see the worry in his eyes but most importantly I could see his love for me, I could only hope that he could see the love I held for him in my eyes.

"I don't want you to fight." He said and held me tighter.

"Your not doing this without me, so lets focus on the fight ahead, and Alec, I love you more than my shoes so please don't die." I tried to lighten his mood a little even though I new this was serious.

"I love you too" he said and chuckled. And then Rian had to ruin the moment.

Rian came walking through the treeline like he owned the place, Alec went stiff as he let go of me only to push me behind him. His eyes scanned everyone and then locked on mine.

"Ah, my little naughty run-away wife" he said and Alec gave him a warning growl.

"And so you met your mate huh? Well atleast you were my bitch before you ran away like the little coward you are" he mocked and with that Alec launched and turned into Jax.

I was in awe, I have never seen his tiger before and he was beautiful, big and beautiful. And thats how the war began. I snapped out of my trance and looked around and just like I have never seen Alec's tiger, I also have never seen a damn Lycan before.

Lycans were coming out of the forest and they were frighteningly scary. All of them were as black as a moonless sky and almost 7 feet tall, they walked on their hinge legs and their claws looked like razors. They had long ugly snouts with huge sharp teeth and blood red eyes.

I saw Alec fighting a lycan which I assume was Rian, Quinn by his side. Emily was chanting and my parents were working together fighting another Lycan. I could already see some of our pack members lying lifeless, their blood soaking into the grass.

When I looked up a Lycan was headed towards me, I tried to remember everything I learned as fast as possible and just as it was about to grab me I lifted my hand and made him stop in his tracks, I tapped into more if my energy and with a swift motion of my hand I broke his neck.

I knew that this wouldn't kill him but it would buy some time to finish him off. I drained a lot of my energy on one Lycan and now I know what everyone meant about lycans being so hard to kill. One of the Warriors came running and sunk his teeth into the Lycans neck, ripping his neck from his shoulders. There wasn't time to look for Alec as another Lycan threw himself at the Warrior infront of me. I tapped into more energy and held my hands in his direction, making him fall back when my energy hit him. If I threw this much energy at a human they would have died and this Lycan only looked like he took a small hit with a tree trunk or something. Before he could stand up, Derek was behind him with a sword, and in one motion he swinged and the Lycan's head rolled to the side and his body fell limp on the ground.

Looking around again I felt bile rising in my throat, so many pack members lying lifeless. There were seven Lycan's dead and three to go and our fighting numbers were getting fewer. I looked around for Alec and saw him limping towards Rian, it looked like he was injured bad and Rian only had a few scrapes. Quinn was lying on the ground and Emily was standing beside him, still chanting.

I ran as fast as I could untill I reached Alec's side and he growled at me. He could growl all he wanted I was not leaving his side. Rian was just about to pounce us both when the Guardians showed up. I took the opportunity and placed my palms together, rubbing them and making a small orb full of energy. I threw the energy orb at him as hard as I could and it hit him on the head. He staggered and then turned his full attention to me, Alec jumped infront of me when Riand launched at me. He sunk is razor sharp nails into Alec's sides and was about to sink his teeth into Alec's neck when I heard myself scream.

This couldn't be happening, not to Alec, I needed him too much so I screamed, throwing the last raw energy I had left at Rian with my screaming. The last thing I remembered was the beast's blood red eyes looking at me, growing wide, then there was a bright white light before everything went dark.
