Leah
The last 24 hours have been a whirlwind. No one has come to terms with the fact that I will be the main target for Max, but it did comfort them to know that I wasn’t planning on doing it alone. I just knew that I would be his main focus and if I can maintain that focus long enough, his arrogance would be his downfall.
“Move those bunks to the far wall and start assembling, we need at least a hundred more done by tonight.” Jess is shouting over the din of noise going on in the packhouse dry storage area we are converting into a shelter.
“Leah, Leah! Come and look!” Someone is shouting from across the room. It’s Elyse and Danielle and they are smiling like idiots.
Miss LThank you for reading. Any constructive comments are always welcome and gems are appreciated.

Leah‘EVERYONE TO THEIR STATIONS! GET ALL OUR VULNERABLE TO THE NEAREST BUNKER AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PACK SAFE HOUSE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL OUR OUTER BARRIERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!’ I scream through the mindlink.I feel a punch to my gut but I am nowhere near anyone who would harm me. When I close my eyes as I feel it again, I notice red flares across my mind. I can see where attacks are happening!“Damien! I can see the attacks!” I grab his hand tightly keeping my eyes closed. “We need a team to the Blood Moon territory, the Night Fang territory and Silver Mist. Can you do that? I need to hit the war room and let Elyse and Danielle know, maybe I can prevent too many casualties.”“Okay, babe, be safe.” He kisses me hard and deep like he’s putting every ounce of his affection for me in this kiss. And it hits me, he might be saying goodbye. I grab his face and pull him in tighter.“You be safe too, check in regularly, please. I will let you know if I move from the war room.” I look up at hi

72 Damien The rumbling in the ground started with the growls from the other side of our outer barrier, but as the vibrations grew I knew something else was happening. “Fall back, something is coming from underground!” I shout through the mindlink. Just as I had the thought, all of the areas where we have spelled elements linking our outer barrier explode into the air and I feel a whoosh of air as the protection spell vanishes. The roar of growls, hissing and other angry noises overwhelmed me like a tidal wave. Masses of angry, demonic looking wolves charged our way. “Brace for impact” Ellinore, whispers through the link and then she jumps her fiery ass into the fray. She was magnificent, grabbing at anything that looked remotely hostile. She tore through limbs and tossed many rogues aside like rag dolls. Titan and Onyx look at each other and realize they are missing out on all the fighting, staring at Flare. All of these females really have shown how strong they are, and hav

Damien We keep taking down these wolves, but they won’t stay down. Whatever is possessing them is making them less vulnerable to our fighters. Even the ones on fire only stop when they finally die from the flames. “They just keep coming. What are we supposed to do?” Trent asks as he and his wolf, Carmine, take a swipe with their paw at one rogue while grabbing the throat of another and pinning her to the ground. “Leah said not to kill them, but I don’t think we are going to have a choice.” “That was probably intentional. I bet Max was banking on us being unwilling to kill innocent wolves. He sees it as a weakness and is exploiting it. Either we kill them or someone comes up with a plan to contain them.” Taylor says ripping the throat out of another rogue. He and I have no problems taking out anyone who threatens our pack and our mates' safety. He has kids to think about now, so does Demitri. The future of our pack depends on us being able to protect our members, but the wrath

Leah Nyx is running toward the Red Claw territory. Where could Ellinore be? She’s already disappeared once because of Max’s magic. What happened to her this time? As we run through the territory I can see injured and deceased people everywhere. My heart is going out to all of them and I am becoming more angry. “Danielle, we need healers here now. There are so many people down.” “I have them on the way now, I couldn’t send them while Ellinore was lighting everything on fire.” Danielle responds, panting. “Why do you sound out of breath?” We are heading to you as well, you didn't think we would let you go out and fight all by yourself did you? Even Taylor says we need to be together. You know it’s serious if he’s letting Renee out of her safety hole.” She gives a little chuckle. “I’m almost there.” Nyx’s legs burn from the force of running and we are exhausted trying to hold our emotions in. So many people have already been hurt and it’s only going to get worse. I can feel the

Leah “INCOMING!!!” Is all that I hear before a flaming fireball with legs comes barreling through the forest knocking down rogues left and right. “Grab these f**kers and lets get a move on, I don’t know how long this will last.” Ellinore’s somewhat crazy laugh whoops through the mindlink. Elyse and Renee stay together, Jessica closely watching them while the rest of us toss the possessed rogues into the trench. “We need to get to the other fights too, Elyse try to do the ground opening thing from here, Niobe said to focus on a specific point and have Leah boost you. Leah, can you pinpoint the fighting and direct her? I’m going to go knock these tools around a bit more. Have that hole open for me when I get there.” She cackles again before blasting off towards another part of the territory.. “You need to explain how you know all of this.” Danielle huffs through the link. “Later, babe, I’m on fire right now!” “You are an idiot” Danielle sighs, “You’re my idiot, but still an id

Leah As the barrier breaks a gust of wind rushes through the grounds whipping my hair around and almost knocking me down. I could feel the power radiating in the breeze and absorbing into my skin, reenergizing my whole body. “Whoa! Did you feel that?” Nyx asks me. “Yeah, that was amazing.” “Our children, listen closely.” A loud chorus of voices booms through my skull, vibrating every bone in my body. I grab my head and wince in pain. I look around and realize that I am not the only one. All of us, even the guys are grabbing our heads. “Trust the magic and let us in. Your pack will not survive without our help.” “Alphas, we are here.” Someone shouts from behind me. “The packhouse has our protection.” a roar of approval rises after the statement. “Let your members serve their purpose, just as you all will serve yours.” I gasp a breath in and try to open my mind to what is happening to me. I feel like I am burning up inside, but I can feel my strength grow. I look around a

Leah “What?” I question as I can feel the light of life go out in my head and my heart. “What’s wrong?” “Leah, babe, just get up and come with me, there’s nothing we can do right now.” Damien is grabbing at my arms to get me out from under the dead wolf, and trying to usher me away. “Wait, why do we have to go, we have to try and help…” “We can’t help him now, we need to go.” Damien cut me off. “I know you, you’ll dwell on it. We have to keep our eyes on Max, he’s starting to move.” Damien is tugging on my arms now. I can’t help it, I feel compelled to stay with this wolf, who literally died on top of me. I wrenched my hand out of his. “No, I need to see who it is.” I turned back to the wolf and my whole world halted. “No.” It was a whisper as my breathing became shallow and I struggled to remain upright. Damien caught me around the waist and eased me to the ground. This was the first person since Jason that I have seen killed because of me, and this was the worst part ab

Jess Oh my goddess there is blood and people everywhere. I was so not made for this kind of thing. This foul smelling swamp demon is after me and I have no idea how to really fight. Trent is working so hard to keep me protected and I just feel like a burden and distraction that keeps getting in the way. “Jess, look out!” I hear as another wave of water is thrown my way. I duck and roll, much more agile than I expected. I run over to Trent who is lying on the ground soaked to the bone and the slimy residue seems to be affecting him, slowing him down. “Help me!” I cry out not sure if anyone can actually hear me. There is so much fighting all around me, the sound almost deafening. “Silence, child, you are more than capable of handling this. You were made to handle all of this. Do not let your abysmal upbringing make you underestimate your worth. You represent the wood element. Strong and steadfast, a sturdy beacon of home for your pack. Remember what your element does, your
