"Don't you apologize to me. I should be the one apologizing. I will spend the rest of eternity making up to you." Clayton growled and kissed her forehead.
"I missed you." Kate gasped and Clayton groaned hugging her tighter.
"I missed you too." He said and looked down at her. They leaned close to each other, about to kiss by the looks of it. I tried to look away but it was one of those times when you just couldn't break your gaze.
A scream rang out and they pulled away from each other. Everyone looked around in confusion; a woman ran towards us. She pointed towards the horizon. My gaze followed her finger and I was shocked to see many lights coming towards us. Then I saw something that chilled me to the bone.
A fucking tank.
The humans found us. How the hell did they find us?
Everyone scattered until Clayton called for everyone to go into the pack house. No one wasted time with objecting and soon everyone was packed inside.
I guided them through the halls and put the children and mothers in the safe room. Of course the others with me wanted to fight and I sighed.
I stared at the large number of wolves gazing at me and bit me lip. At moments like this I was glad I wasn't alpha; so many wolves waiting for your say-so was absolutely nerve wracking.
"Fine." I growled and we all hurried to the exit.
Once we made it outside we all froze. In front of the small army of humans armed with guns, grenades and two tanks, stood three white she-wolves, a black wolf, a ebony wolf, and a gray wolf. Beside them stood three vampires, they all stood in front of the house in a protective line.
A tank aimed its barrel at the living barrier.
My breath caught in my throat as no one flinched. Who knew war would start so soon? And with such a stalemate? Who would make the first move?
Well it's getting heated guys.
Ole humans done ran up with the big guns.
Who would stand in front of a tank to save the people that depend on them? Hell, I would.
It is our beasts that can push us, but it is our humanity that makes us strong.
I will update again soon!
Peace,
Kayla

•Katlyn's P. O. V.
I looked at the army in front of us. Hundreds of humans. Guns all drawn and at their sides waiting for command to fire.
I looked at the tank aimed at us and gulped.
Just because we apparently couldn't die didn't mean this wouldn't hurt like hell. Plus would being immortal even count if we were blown to bits? The thought made me shudder. I didn't want to test that theory out.
Why the hell did we jump in front of a goddam tank? I growled in my head.
Guys I agree with Kate this was a fucked up idea. Let's run around and play "Catch The Live Grenade" next. Nathan's critical and sarcastic voice said through the link.
Well what was your grand idea Nate? Xavier's voice growled.
Shut up old man. Alex's calm teasing voice said. How was she calm?!
I'm only twenty-four, I'm not that old! Xavier snarled desperately.
Oh Goddess, stop fucking arguing we have bigger problems; like hmm, I don't know, maybe the big ass tank about to shoot us! Clayton growled and everyone quieted.
I heard a growl behind us and I glanced back to see a whole militia of wolves with Lisa at the lead. They all stood in front of the house.
Looks like we were going to fight tonight...
I growled darkly and bared my fangs. The others growled as well and we got ready to attack.
Unknown P. O. V.
I stood beside my comrades. My heart thudded in my chest. Beads of sweat dripped down my forehead into my eyes. My breath was a little ragged but not from the long march.
I looked past the heads of my squadron and took in the wolves. They were huge and honestly really intimidating. They'd formed a line in front of this giant house that pretty much every other person had fled into.
Three people stood beside the wolves. They glared at us with a look of pure distaste. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
Abruptly the doors to the house opened again and out poured a lot of people. They looked determined. They looked ready for war.
My throat clogged with something I can't really put my finger on.
Heaven knows I didn't want to be here. I was with my family when I received call for my leave. It was disheartening really... especially when this was the reason for my departure.
Maybe they'll put this in the history books as the Second Civil War. Maybe they'll try to sweep it under the rug. Who knows...
But I didn't want to be a part of this. This was not serving my country. This felt like murder. Going against unarmed people? Sure they could shift into wolves but so what? They were still people.
Hell, they were civilians.
Shit, we were about to kill our own civilians. I couldn't do it. I looked at the people around me anxiously waiting for orders and frowned.
I looked back to the wolves. They stood as one and didn't back down.
How were they different from us? Why we're we even doing this?
I bit my lip softly as I felt indignation rise up in me. I wasn't going to slaughter innocent people. That wasn't how I was raised.
I was a soldier not a butcher.
Katlyn's P. O. V.
My paws twitched as I got ready to pounce.
"Wait!" A yell rang out and I looked up to see a soldier maneuvering through the crowd of people. They paused beside the tank. Their hand went up and the gun at their hip jostled.
"This isn't right you can't just shoot them." I could tell from the voice it was a woman. She removed her helmet and black hair fell past her shoulders.
"Soldier get back in line." Someone ordered but the woman held her ground.
"Why are we even doing this? I should be home with my family not out here killing another." She huffed and murmurs of agreement were audible.
"Back in line!" The same voice yelled. It was coming from the tank.
"There are children in there. Families just like ours... why are we out here?" The soldier countered.
A gun was drawn and pointed at her by a man close to her but she didn't flinch instead she spat, "So now I'm the enemy?"
Suddenly two other soldiers, men, stepped forward and pointed their guns to the man.
"Put the goddam gun down. Or I'll blow your head off." One man said harshly and the guy slowly lowered his weapon. The woman huffed and walked toward us.
"Get back here!" A yell said and the soldier laughed.
"Kiss my ass I'm not fighting for you today." She said and suddenly others came out of the crowd all armed and stood beside us. About fifty armed soldiers now stood with us.Almost as one they drew their guns up and aimed at the army. At their people."Mutiny!" Someone said and a soldier scoffed."If that's what it takes then yeah." He said loading his gun."They're people too." Someone else said and everyone just stood in place. A few more humans came over to our side.One person rushed right at a wolf and for a second I thought they were about to fight before the soldier leapt on the wolf and yelled happily, "Percy!" The wolf whined and licked her hand."You stupid mutt. I told you not to come out here!" The soldier cried and the wolf named Percy nuzzled his snout in her neck. I watched temporarily distracted by the little couple reintroduction.Apparently human and wolf mates weren't so uncommon..."You're betraying your own species." The voice from the tank chastised."We're doing
"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
"Clayton!" I wailed and screamed his name over and over as tears poured out of my eyes. This couldn't be happening. I can't loose him too."No..." I sobbed and hugged his lifeless body.I pulled away as a hand laid on my shoulder. I looked over to see Eli and Alex. They knelt beside me and hugged me as I cried for my mate. I looked over and saw Lexi sobbing against Michael and Dalton and Drew watched with sad eyes."It'll be-" Alex began but I pushed them away."Don't you dare say it'll be okay! Don't you dare! It's not okay! Clayton's dead!" I screamed and glared at the human army."Leave dammit! This war is over! If you don't leave now I sweat by everything holy I'll kill you!" I snarled and the army faltered. Some held sympathetic looks and some nodded but others frowned."Now hold on a second. You don't tell us what to do you-" General Hawkins started and I snarled and shifted. In the blink of an eye I lunged at him and tackled him to the ground. His screams fell on deaf ears as I
I let out a chocking sound and flung myself on him."It's okay." Clayton cooed and kissed my forehead."You died." I shuddered as I said it."I know." He sighed and pulled me closer."They left." I chocked out."I was right beside you the whole time. I know." Clayton said and ran his fingers through my hair. I sighed and laid my head against his chest."You couldn't see or hear me but I was there." Clay said and rubbed his hands down my back.I sobbed softly and clutched his shoulders as I cried joyfully into his chest."I thought I lost you." I pulled away from him and searched around for my heroine's white hair. My eyes momentarily rested on Percy and Anna and I smiled as I watched the soldier hugging her mate while Percy chuckled and ran his fingers through her hair."Alex! Thank you!" I yelled and everyone else joined in on the praise. The Moon Goddess smiled brightly and dipped her head."'Twas an honor." She said in a humble sweet voice and I smiled before kissing Clayton softly
"Kaden's right there." I said and Clayton smirked."He's asleep; besides he won't remember if he wakes up and... wait I've got a better idea." Clay growls softly and in moments there's a soft knock at our door."Come in." Clay said and the door opened to reveal Lexi. Her eyes gleamed with amusement and she raised an eyebrow."Yes?" She asked and Clayton pointed to the bed."You feel like watching Kade tonight? Katy is afraid we'll scar him." I smacked him softly at his words and he smirked."Kinky." He growled softly and I hit him harder earning a grunt of pain."You're gonna regret that Mrs. Ravenwolf." Clayton said in a husky voice that made my toes curl."Gross guys. At least let me get out of the room. Kaden's not the only one being scarred." Lexi said making a face. I scoffed."Says the girl who was trying to mate in the living room." I shot back and Lexi's face blushed and she immediately shut her mouth in embarrassment. Clayton snickered softly.I'd walked in on Mike and Lexi,
I hope not Fire... I hope. I responded and cried as Manik smashed the wolfsbane up and began plastering the mushy wet remains against my bleeding wounds.Firestorm and I howled in pain at the poison slipping into us. My back arched and I shook against the locks. I kicked the best that I could. I screamed. But nothing worked. The pain was too much.Manik was muttering something as she put the remaining wolfsbane in my mouth. I grimaced and tried to spit it out. Before I could her hand clamped over my mouth and I jerked as I tried to get it out somehow."Swallow." She ordered and I glared at her. But she was winning. The vile plant mush was slowly going to the back of my throat. I'd swallow it sooner or later. Then after a few moments of struggling I involuntarily swallowed it and groaned in pain and self frustration.The pain intensified and I cried in agony."It's okay." My father said petting my head and I gave him a deadly glare."It's not!" I wanted to scream but I still couldn't.
"Watch." My parents said and I looked at the bodies and was shocked to see the burning flesh and bone rearranging back into a wolf. Soon two wolves were turning to ash."Weird isn't it?" My father said and I nodded. Disgustingly weird."So are they actual wolves?" I asked and my parents looked at each other."I think they started as wolves but learned how to walk and act like humans? I'm not sure, only they know and well we don't socialize to find out." My mother said and the conversation was dropped.****It'd been a few months and Dad was helping me with a partner takedown.About twenty dummies, wolf and human were placed in front of us.I looked over at my father and watched with satisfaction as he picked up an axe. He played with the tool in his hands some before giving me a soft smile. I returned the smile and gave him a nod that I was ready.Not even a second after I gave the signal he hurled the axe and let it loose. The axe flew through the air with such force it sliced throug
I glanced out at the road as I drove and saw an African American woman walking down the sidewalk. Her ebony eyes caught mine and she seemed to gasp. I frowned and looked away from her.Is there something on my face? I thought to myself as I turned my attention back to the road. Jaxon's voice made me forget about the woman."Hmm at least eight-thirty. Wear something... extravagant." He said and I giggled at his words."Okay Jax." I said softly."See you then baby." He said and I hung up with a smile."So a date night with Jaxon?" My mom said with a grin and I nodded."Mom we live together of course... why are you looking at me like that?" I said and frowned at her smile. She shrugged and looked away.Jaxon was my boyfriend of four years. I'd met him during a hunt one night when we bumped into each other while purging a wolf den.*Flashback*I rushed through the house. My gun was clutched in my hand as I went down the hallways. I'd already killed three wolves tonight.Growls rumbled th
