The Werewolf's Kitten

Chapter 4: The Rogue Attack

Kate POV

Ryder immediately shifted into his lion. I just stood up. I was wearing shoes so I was happy I didn't wear heels. I would probably trip and eat dirt if I was wearing heals. I know how to fight really well. I can take down my brother. And he was the one to teach me. We got ready.

You are not fighting. Go back to the house. Ryder ordered me using mind link. You cannot tell me what to do. I will stay and help. I told him. I was mad. I hated when people ordered me around. I felt like their maid or slave. I know he was just trying to protect me though. Don't be silly. You don't even have weapons. He told me. You're right. I'll be right back with my crossbow. Be right back. I told him.

I sprinted off. There were two wolves in my way. I just kicked one in the head and punched the other wolf in the temple causing it to be knocked out. That's what they get for getting in my way. And it's self defense. I sprinted back to the cabin and ran to my room and grabbed my crossbow and arrows. My arrows were specially made. They were made by me. I am the only ones who can make these kind of arrows. I am the only one who can shoot them too. They are made with my blood mixed with a liquid that burns whoever is shot from the inside out. My bow is from my mom. She taught me how to use a bow and arrow. I don't want to brag but I am super skilled in it and I never miss.

I quickly ran back out of the cabin to the fighting spot. Good thing everyone else at the cabin was asleep. I used my cat skills to jump into a tree nearby the fighting. I had my bow and arrows ready.

I waited until Xavier and Ryder needed my help.

Xavier POV

We were surrounded by rogues. Ryder shifted into a lion. I'm guessing Ryder and Kate are cat shifters. I'll ask her about it later. A wolf almost killed her. Kate quickly ran off. There were two wolves in her way and she just knocked one out and kicked the other one. I was shocked. My little mate is a fighter. At least I know she can take care of herself if anything happens to her. But nothing will happen to her because I'm here.

There were at least fifteen rogues. I knew there was some more wolves hidden in the trees somewhere. Ryder and I tried to fend ourselves off. I wondered if Kate got to the cabin safely or if she was dead. At the thought of her being dead, Blaze whimpered. That gave the rogues an advantage. About three attacked me at once. I whimpered as one of them clawed at my stomach. I heard a mewl. I looked and saw Ryder with a cut on his side. There were five wolves surrounded him and often one of them would swipe at him. There were only the eight wolves. The others either were dead or they ran away. Cowards. One of the wolves lunged for my neck. Right before he bit me, an arrow whizzed by and hit the wolf. He immediately dropped to the ground and started writhing around and whimpering.

Ryder looked all around as if searching for something or someone. Who shot that arrow? I would probably have to thank that person. Another few arrows were shot and all the wolves around Ryder were gone. There were only two more wolves. Ryder and I couldn't fight them because I had a deep gash in my stomach and Ryder had a cut on his side. Just as the wolves were getting ready to lunge at us, two arrows whizzed by and killed them. Ryder just layed there on his good side. I tried to lie down but the cut on my stomach hurt like hell. I knew it would heal fast, but I would need my mate to make it heal before it has a possibility of being infected. But at the moment I didn't even know where my mate was.

A little black kitten with white paws jumped out of a tree. It ran over to Ryder and started licking his wounds. The little kitten smelled like Kate. Ryder's cut started to heal slowly. He licked the kitten's cheek. The kitten playfully pawed at his Ryder's head.

The kitten came bounding over to me. I was losing blood. I looked at the kitten's eyes. It was the same color as Kate's eyes. The kitten started licking at my wound. My cut stung. Is the cat Kate? I think she was. If Ryder can shift into a cat, wouldn't Kate be too. I mean they are siblings. The kitten kept licking my wound. My cut started healing. In a few seconds, it was completely healed. I now knew she was my mate. If your mate licks a cut, it heals almost right away. I licked her face. She licked my face with her tiny tongue. I could feel the little barbs on her tongue brushing my fur.
