"I understand but Katlyn needs to hear about this." Harper said from behind me and Carly shook her head. She flipped off the safety.

"Shut up you filthy creature or your mate there will take a bullet." Richard growled and walked over to Carly and lowered her arm.

"Lets just go Carly... there's too many of them, we'll come back later." He whispered urgently and Katlyn's mother just huffed and put the gun away.

"I'll find you. Talk and I'll find you." Carly spat before hurrying out of the place with Richard hot on her heels. It wasn't long before there was the roaring of an engine and Harper and I looked at each other.

"That was..." she said and I nodded.

"A lot? Yeah." I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck.

"How are we going to tell her?... she's both Hunter and wolf... that's bad right?" Harper said and I managed a nod.

"She hasn't shown any signs though. She's been like any other Luna, plus she's a Pure White... that's gotta mean something, right?" I said and Harper nodded.

"Maybe she'll be okay then, but the Reversion?" She said and I grimaced.

"It's where you break the wolf from a werewolf... turn the host fully human once again. I haven't heard of it working, but apparently it has." I sighed and Harper's eyes widened.

"We have to tell her... but how they're her parents... How did no one else notice this?" Harper said in bewilderment. I shrugged.

"Well they're outside... I can go get them?" I said to her questioningly and before I could move Harper jumped in my arms and hugged me to her.

"Don't ever do that again." She breathed and I frowned.

"I was just supposed to stand there while she pointed a gun at you?" I growled and wrapped my arms around her.

"You could've got yourself killed." She said softly and I nodded.

"I know." I sighed and she kissed my lips before pulling away.

"Let's get this over with." Harper breathed and we started toward the door.

The words played in my head as we made our way through the house... This wasn't a conversation I ever thought I'd be part of.

What do you think about that?

Crazy right?

Youth - by Daughter ���

This song kept playing in my head while I wrote this.

WARNING: this chapter holds graphic scenes. Viewer discretion is advised.

I watched my parents drive away with a frown. They sure were in a rush... they didn't even really acknowledge me.

"Katlyn." I turned my head to see Harper and Ace standing at the door.

"We have to tell you something..." Ace began as Clay and I walked toward them.

*****

I stared at them in shock. This couldn't be.

"Hunters? My parents?" I asked and the two nodded. We were in Clayton's office just me, Clay, and Harper and Ace.

Clayton growled, "How did I not see it?" He paced around the room.

"Why didn't they tell me?" I thought aloud and Clayton growled.

"Would you have joined them?" He said giving me a stern look and I frowned.

"I'd like to think not." I said and Ace cut in.

"You're not connected with your Hunter side, but if it were to awaken... You probably would. Especially if they do a Reversion." He said and shook his head sadly.

"We'll do what we can to protect you Kate, but there's still a war at our doorstep." Harper said and I nodded.

"This can wait. Right now focus on the big priority." I said and everything calmed some.

"Run dammit!" Nathan snarled barreling into a young wolf and pushing him out of the way of a tank shell. Dirt and debris flew up in an eruption as the shell only made contact with the earth. My ears rang at the sound.

This was the fifteenth battle in ten months. The humans were relentless. Luckily we'd had no casualties on our side.

"Watch it!" A bark rang out as I tore into some soldiers neck. He slumped down at my paws and I flung his dead body away.

"My people back up!" I ordered before lightning struck from above and fire raged through the humans defensive lines.

"Shoot them down!" I heard a yell and then many guns going off. I hissed in pain as one grazed me.

"The bullets have wolfsbane!" I called out and snarled as I saw wolves dropping to the ground.

My eyes scanned around and my heart started racing.

"Where's Clayton?" I howled and Xavier looked over as he ripped a man's head off. He dropped the head and looked around before pausing.

I followed his gaze and froze when I saw a black wolf struggling to stand only to fall and shift. Clayton.

I practicality flew over to him and my eyes clouded with tears as I saw blood oozing from a bullet wound in his chest. I shifted.

Yeah we were both naked. Who gives two fucks? Nudity didn't matter in this situation... I just wanted my Clayton to be okay.

"I'm not going to make it." He gasped and I frowned. My heart cracked a bit.

"We're immortal." I said desperately. He shook his head.

"Wolfsbane to the heart... everything has a catch." He wheezed and managed a smile. My heart clenched. I shook my head.

"No you're gonna be okay." I whimpered and he sighed. Tears flooded down my cheeks.

His hand went up to cup my cheek and he looked into my eyes, "To pretty to cry..." he sighed and his hand fell. His golden eyes looked into mine as fought for breath... then he just stopped. His eyes lost their glow.

"No..." I whimpered and cupped his face. My head shook back and forth.

"Clay?" I whispered feeling tears run down heavy. His skin cooled.

"Clayton." I cried. My heart twisted and I clutched his shoulders and cried against his chest. I looked up at the sky.
