Alley Pov:While the others were tucked away in bed the rest of us stayed awake with the trackers and warriors who patrolled the borders waiting to see if anyone showed up. "The first sign of trouble within any pack we sound the alarms and make sure all the women and children are safe." Stephen said as he sat on the couch. "Part of me wants to do it now. The children would sleep through it all at least." I replied pacing around the room. "If something were to happen we don't want them to be asleep when it does. They need to be able to get away." Emma said. That is true, but even so if something happens in the middle of the night they would have to wake them all up and get them to the cellar in time. "I guess I'm just over thinking, I just want to make sure everyone who is not fighting is safe." I replied. "When do y'all think he will try to strike?" Jasmine asked. "Sometime tonight, if anyone feels something get through the shields we need to move everyone right then." Josh said. I sw
Alley POV: I looked up to the women we were trusting with the children, "Keep them safe. You won't like me when I am angry." I stated, they bowed their heads in respect, Stephen and I turned around to see Ember in front of the door. "May the goddess be with you both. Be safe and clear minded and know we will protect the children." Ember said, looking at us. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her. "Thank you Ember. You be safe as well." I replied. "Keep them in good spirits Ember, we will see you all soon enough." Stephen said as he patted Ember's side. We walked out of the cellar and closed the door hiding them away from harm. "Rose it's almost time." I said hoping she would wake up, she has been quiet lately. "I am aware, do not forget that at some point we will merge. Listen to me if I say something or if you are injured I am taking over." Rose replied. I didn't plan on arguing with her, at least not this time. "They've just entered our pack as well as Chloes pack." Ja
Alley POV: For a moment, time stood still. "Are you ready?" Stephen asked. "I'm always ready, it's time to open a section of the shield." I replied not taking my eyes off of Bosch. I heard rustling in the trees before a bag flew out from the branches exploding next to Bosch. The vampires around him screeched and backed away, when the smoke cleared Bosch was nothing but stone. "Open the shield now! We have a few hours tops!" Pythia screamed out. Stephens eyes started swirling like a raging storm before they became the clear blue I have missed so much, that told me the shields were down. "Jeremy, now!" I yelled out, in a split second growls in every direction erupted and I knew he told the rogues to attack. Now it was our turn, everyone came out of hiding and latched on to the first enemy they could. We darted forward and I set my eyes on a wild looking vampire, he must be a newly changed one with the way he looks. I willed my legs to move faster the second he was nearing arms lengt
Alley POV: "Are you hurt?" I asked scanning over her to see she had a cut under her eye and scratch marks down her arm, "For now no." She replied, trying to catch her breath. The witch I threw got back to her feet and at her side was another woman who looked very similar to her. "You bitch! You'll pay for that." She spat, "Sorry I don't pay people like you." I retorted and watched her face twist in anger, she scanned her eyes around us and I knew what she was about to do. The moment her eyes locked on mine I jumped in front of Cassandra throwing her backwards just as the witch appeared in front of me delivering her fist directly into my jawline so hard I stumbled backwards into the other woman who drove her knee into my back. I hit the ground face first knocking the wind out of me, one jumped on me and I guarded my face and body with each fist she drove down at me. I caught her right arm with mine yanking her down towards me as I drove my head straight into her nose. Blood gushed out
Alley POV: I kept my hand on Jack's chest feeling his breath become shorter and shorter, "Where is Pythia?!" I screamed out. "I'm here!" Pythia replied as she ran up to us. "What is wrong with him? Sammie said something was thrown at them but it hit him." I said looking down at Jack who was now turning pale. "Yes, I am aware, we made an antidote but we need the blood of an alpha to complete it." Pythia said, grabbing Jack by the face. "Fine take mine, hell I'll cut my own hand tell me what to do." I replied, snatching Jack away from her. "Let's go take my hand." Pythia said, extending her hand to me, I didn't hesitate I grasped on to her hand and before I knew it we were outside of the fighting that was going on. "Quickly give me your hand." Pythia said, grabbing a knife out of her boot. I watched as she sliced the palm of my hand open and held it above a bowl that was handed to her. After a few seconds she handed the bowl off to a woman who moved quickly grinding herbs and other
Alley POV: "Alley! Help him please!" Diane pleaded as I got closer, I hit my knees and looked him over, I didn't see any visible cuts or wounds. I placed my hands on his chest and could feel him breathing normally. "I think he is just knocked out for now. We need to get him inside." I said looking at Diane who had tears in her eyes. "I'll take him." She said before she disappeared. I jumped to my feet and looked around, it looked like a war movie with the amount of dirt being blown out of the ground. I need to get back to Stephen and Sammie. I darted towards them and I could see they were having a standoff with dark witches, I could feel the rage push through me, they have taken Jack and now Pierce. I wouldn't let them have Stephen or Sammie, the closer I got the better I could see them and I noticed one of them had a bag in her hand. She pulled her arm back ready to throw the bag, in the blink of an eye I appeared behind her snapping her neck before she could turn around. I grabbed
Alley POV: Rose quickly gave me back control, just as I shifted the ground started to shake harder and piece by piece stone fell to the ground. Everyone stopped and stared at what was going on, Denver and Sammie stood beside me not taking their eyes off of Bosch. "Get everyone to safety now!" I yelled as the last few pieces fell. Bosch looked wild and crazed, "You little bitch!" He roared, throwing his hands forward to have boulders pulled from the ground and launched them towards us. "Denver move!" I yelled and pushed him out of the way. We rolled on the ground a few feet before I lifted my head. Denver was back on his feet madder than I had ever seen him. I looked over to see Sammie face first on the ground. I just to my feet and grabbed Denver by the face. "Get out of here! Sammie is hurt, she needs you! Get her to safety!" I yelled forcing him to look at Sammie, his eyes went wide and he let out a growl. "Don't start with me, we knew this would happen. Denver please. Save her.
Alley POV: He jumped back up, appearing behind me, before he had the chance to lay a hand on me I swung my hand backwards sending him to the ground. Before I could hold him down I was shoved backwards by his wind element. I landed on the ground face first but this time I hardly felt the pain from it. We both got back to our feet at the same time and met in the middle, our fists flying at each other neither of us bowing to the other. He delivered an uppercut strong enough to lift me off the ground before he sent his foot directly into my stomach. A growl ripped through me and I was tired of playing his game. When he got close enough I grabbed him by the throat extending my claws and felt the blood run out from under my claws. He slapped at my hands and tried to push me back but nothing in the world would get me to release him. "Your days of murder are over." I spat in his face. Just as I was about to extend my claws further I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and my body tensed immediat
