"We are to surrender. Accept our fate. Accept Rogue's control."

Indianna sighed and looked at the ground. She hated this.

*Bring the son out,* Indianna told Harry.

The Alpha looked relieved when Harry emerged from the tree line and pushed the Alpha's son forward.

"Isn't this fantastic!"

Indianna froze when she heard his voice.

It never failed to send chills down her spine.

"Well done, sister," Rogue called and she tensed when she heard him walk up behind her. His arm went over her shoulder. "I wanted a little more drama, but I can't really complain." Rogue stepped away from Indianna and walked up to the Alpha.

"Rogue," The Alpha growled.

"It's Jason, Alpha Rednap," Rogue said. "I expect you to be a little more polite from now on, am I clear?"

The Alpha nodded.

"Fantastic," Rogue smiled.

There was a sudden yell and one of the pack members ran forward. Charging a Rogue. "Go to hell, Rogue!" He shouted.

"Oh no, this won't do," Rogue tutted and he grabbed the pack member by the neck, easily blocking his attack. "You pathetic little thing, you can't harm me." Rogue thrust his hand into the pack members chest.

"No!" The Alpha cried.

Indianna gasped and covered her mouth when Rogue pulled the heart of out the pack members chest and dropped it to the ground. The pack member fell seconds after.

"Don't," Ace whispered. He came up on Indianna's other side and grabbed her army gently before she could step forward. "You can't do anything."

"I'm in charge! You've now seen what happens if you don't listen to me," Rogue said. "Now, I just have one more matter to attend to." Rogue approached the Alpha and placed his hand on his shoulder. "I know your type," Rogue said. "You're old. Stuck in your old ways. I could never truly believe that you've conceded. You're harder to control."

Indianna yelled out when Rogue snapped the Alpha's neck. There was a cry of horror from the pack members as their Alpha crumpled to the ground.

Dead.

Rogue sent Indianna a look, silencing her, and turned to the Alpha's son. "What is your name, boy?"

"Tyson," The Alpha's son said. He trembled. His eyes were on his fathers body and Indianna could tell he was holding back floods of tears.

"Tyson, are you going to listen to me? You're the Alpha now. Will you do as I say, or do you want me to kill the rest of your pack members? Maybe I'll move onto your mother next?"

"We'll do as you say!" Tyson spluttered. "I p-promise!"

Rogue smiled.

"Sister, take your pack and go," Rogue called. "Tyson and I need to have a little chat."

Ace and Oscar had to pull Indianna back into the woods and they waited until they were out of earshot to speak.

"Indie-"

"No," Indianna whispered. She closed her eyes. "Death is what I wanted to avoid!"

"You did as best you could," Ace said.

"Clearly it wasn't enough!" She cried and groaned angrily.

"Let's get back home," Oscar said gently. Their pack slowly gathered around them in wolf forms.

Indianna sighed and nodded. She let herself fall to her knees and her wolf took over. She ran ahead of her pack, not wanting to think about what had just happened.

They needed to think of a plan.

And soon.
