It was nearing lunchtime when Thane came into the room, opening Cole's curtains then pulling the covers off us, as bright light suddenly streamed into the room. I lifted my head, blinking at him sleepily, and noticed the stern look on his face. "What's happened?" I asked, which only seemed to make him look even more frustrated. "Happened?" he repeated brusquely, "It's almost noon and the two of you are still lazing in bed. For a Beta and a future Luna, it's not a good look." Finn and I both sat up slowly, though with plenty of grumbling on his part, and Thane glared at him, before turning to me. "We'll soon be planning for your ceremony, it would be nice if you'd actually join us for it," he said, and I nodded. Finn sighed deeply as he stood up to stretch, seeming very unaffected by Thane's stern demeanor. "I'd ask who pissed in your cereal this morning," Finn said, sounding mildly annoyed, "but we both already know the answer to that. What the fuck does he want this time?"I stood u

"Me?" I asked, surprised, and Luca nodded, looking between Thane and I, seeming uncertain. I looked at Thane, whose face had darkened with anger, but he looked back at me, as though it were my decision. "Why is she asking for me?" I asked Luca, and he shrugged, looking uncomfortable. "I don't know, she just keeps slamming her face on the bars, screaming for you. Cole has been stuck down there with her for a while, trying to calm her." Thane and I both sighed softly, exchanging a quick glance, before heading for the door. We clearly both knew that this needed our attention, but having him on the same page felt good, and I couldn't help but feel a small flutter of warmth for him as we reacted in sync. Luca moved aside, and Thane pulled the office door closed behind him, locking it, then taking my hand as we followed Luca downstairs, side by side. A few people smiled or gave us small waves as we headed down, but most stayed clear as they saw the stormy look on Thane's face. We headed d

Elyanna nodded, turning towards Cole, who was still standing in front of the door, "Open it quietly, and remain silent, I will need to act before she is aware of my presence." She looked over her shoulder at me then, adding, "You can talk to her, distract her, but do not get close. Any of you. If that is what she wants, you can be certain it will go badly for you." I nodded, and Cole moved aside, opening the door quietly, and Elsie's shrieks grew louder. They remained near the door, while I moved to the hallway that ran across, lined with cells ether side, still staying well back from her cell. "Elsie?" I called to her, and her screams paused for a moment, "Dorian is on his way, okay? He's going to look you over, so we can talk." She began shrieking again, her voice beginning to sound hoarse from the constant abuse on her vocal chords, "COOOME CLOOOSER!" she screamed, and the thudding started again. "I told you in not going to do that yet, Elsie," I answered, and she began repeating

I bowed my head with respect, and she squeezed my arm gently, before turning towards Thane and Cole. "I will go now, if one of you will allow me," she said, and they nodded, Cole coming over to take her upstairs and open the door for her. I gave him a sympathetic smile as I noticed the harrowed look on his face, and went over to see if I could be of any help to Dorian and Thane. "Oh, goddess!" I gasped loudly as I reached the open cell door, noticing Elsie on the floor, a horribly bloody mess. Her cell was in a similar state, with smears of blood all over the place, clearly from her many wounds - most of them around her head. Dorian was shining in a torch in one eye, then the other, holding the eyelids open gently with his thumb, then sighed softly. "She's out, but responsive to stimuli," he said quietly, "We won't know how bad it is unless we can take her to the hospital." I looked up at Thane then, wondering if he'd allow it, and he sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair,

The awkward silence that followed was broken shortly after, as Cole came back down the stairs carrying an empty stretcher, two nurses following him close behind. "Ah, Marian, and Camille, thank you," he said addressing the elder one, then the younger. They both gave me small smiles in greeting, and bowed their heads sightly towards Thane, before following Dorian into Elsie's cell. Cole came over to put his arms around me from behind, resting his head on my shoulder as we waited for them to carefully move and secure her. It was only a few minutes until they came out again, the two nurses carrying the stretcher, with Elsie on it, still unconscious. They both seemed concerned for her, and eager to get her back to hospital, and Cole kissed me on the cheek before heading quickly back up the stairs to let them and Dorian out again. The heavy door thudded closed, and Thane and I met each other's eyes, and he pulled me against him tightly, resting his head on mine. Our moment of solace was

The rest of the short walk to the pack hospital was more pleasant. Still plagued with concern, of course, but with no more unwanted interruptions, and it felt good to be close to Thane as we walked. The hospital was fairly quiet as we entered, and the two admins at the main desk looked up in surprise. I gave them a brief, friendly smile as Thane led me past, turning down a long, quiet corridor that let towards the South. I noticed that this end of the building seemed more dated, not as clean and modern as the rest, and Thane noticed my gaze. "The rest of the hospital is updated regularly, but this wing hasn't really been used for decades. There's not been any need," he said, a touch of guilt in his voice. I tilted my head up towards him, with a small smile, "The fact you haven't needed it shows good leadership," I said quietly, "I'm sure your pack is grateful for that." He nodded, but also sighed softly, "Haven't needed it until now, anyway," he muttered sadly, as we turned down ano

He held me for a long while, gently stroking my hair and soothing me with his presence, and it felt like barely any time has passed at all by the time the others returned, wheeling Elsie back into her room. As they passed us, I noticed that she was secured to the reinforced bed frame with heavy iron shackles, not unlike the ones her family had used to restrain me. I felt a pang of guilt then, feeling sympathy for her despite everything they'd done. I sighed sadly, and Cole tilted my face up towards him, kissing my lips softly and resting his forehead against mine. "We'll find a way to stop it, I promise you," he whispered low enough for only my ears to hear. I gave him a small smile, still feeling both guilty and unconvinced, then rested my head back on his chest for a moment longer. He rested his head gently on top of mine, holding me closer, and I breathed him in, his warmth and his scent soothing me. Thane came out of the room again a moment later, and I looked up at him expecte

I laughed softly, enjoying his playful nature, and rose up onto my tiptoes, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him again. He growled softly, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist, pulling me close enough to feel his arousal through his pants. I pulled back slightly, blushing and smiling at him, and he grinned again, taking my hand and leading me through the West Wing of the hospital, to a large empty consulting room, with huge windows and an incredible view. He closed the door behind us, locking it, and coming over behind me as I stood staring out the window. I felt his warm breath on my neck as he began trailing soft kisses over the sensitive skin there, making me sigh softly, my eyes fluttering closed as I enjoyed the sensation. They shot open a moment later as I heard Thane's voice, mind-linking me, "Later, you two. I need you back here." Finn groaned, a sound of disappointment that mirrored my own, and I realised Thane had sent it to both of us. We both sighed and

After that, everything else began to happen all at once. A blurry, chaotic, storm of events, as attacks began, from their side, and then ours, as our patrols began to hit their more isolated groups, using the terrain they knew so well to take them by surprise. We weakened them quickly there, while our sentries weakened those who dared attack our home, the few who broke through meeting Tyson and his teams, and finding themselves overwhelmingly outmatched. As the sun went down, they only grew more desperate and disorganised, the attacking groups growing smaller, weaker, and far less confident. Within a few hours, Marcus had his original patrols hunting down the remnants of Yannick's pack. Yannick himself was captured as he tried to flee, and his Beta, Sean, was killed as he led a dismal final attempt to attack our home. It was almost dawn again when Yannick was brought before us, greatly wounded in both pride and body. Cole, Finn, and I stared down at him with disdain, while we awaite

Dorian reached up to wipe my tears with his thumbs, a look of sorrow-filled sympathy on his face, "I promise you, we'll help him as best we can," he said softly, "but your pack still needs you, you need to help them." I stared at him wide eyed, not feeling like I could help anyone right now, but he cupped my cheeks gently, giving me an encouraging nod. "I.. but.." I stammered, looking around and seeing so many uncertain faces looking right back at me, and I knew that it was me who needed to give them certainty again. He stepped back, organising for Thane to be taken to the hospital, and I shook my head sadly, taking several long deep breaths and closing my eyes for a moment, before speaking again. "I need reports," I said more firmly, "I need to know what's happening with the incursions, and.." I paused for a moment again, trying to clear my head enough to focus. "The sentries, they need to report to Finn now," I said, looking up at him. His face was pale, so very pale, and shocked,

Samantha seemed to find some determination from somewhere though, straightening her posture even as her companion fell forward, his face hitting the ground with a soft thud. She suddenly dropped her hand, allowing the metal piece to move towards her, before suddenly raising both, trying to thrust it towards me with everything she had. I screamed wordlessly, letting that rage rush through me again, wildly, as I raised both hands, thrusting them towards her. I could see the fear in her eyes as the object raced towards her, and unable to stop it, she ducked, and it shot right past her, barely missing her companions, and out of sight. She turned to me as she straightened again, but her eyes were drawn to the same thing that had caught my own attention. From Thane's slowly stirring body, a dark figure had formed, leaving his body and hovering above it. "What are you doing?!" Samantha screamed at it, sounding hysterical, "She's right there! Take her!" She pointed at me, but nothing rushed

"Where?" asked Finn, and I frowned at him, "Right there, in the middle, Thane's walking over to her.." I stopped as he exchanged a look with Jess, both of them looking puzzled. "The young blonde kid?" Jess asked, and I stared at her in bewilderment, "What young blonde kid? I mean the black haired woman, standing in the middle of the group waiting for Thane." Finn stopped walking, grabbing my arm and turning me towards him, "You see a black haired woman standing there?" he asked, as he and Jess both frowned at me in confusion. "Yes.. don't you?" I asked, suddenly feeling uncertain, and they both shook their heads looking concerned. "No.." Jess began, looking thoughtful, "Do you think.. could she be masking herself somehow?" she asked, looking up at Finn. "I don't know.." he said, as he rubbed his chin, seeming to consider the idea, then lifted a brow, looking over behind us, "but I know someone who would," he added, and I turned, seeing Elyanna over at the edge of the green, closer t

As we reached the green, we noticed the tension in the air. Nerves were frayed, and some were frightened, knowing something was happening, but having no clear message of what. A few people stopped, staring at us, seeming to be waiting for something, and I sighed, looking up at Finn. "They need to know," I said gently, and he frowned, shaking his head, "Thane.." he began, and I gently put a hand on his arm. "Check with him," I said gently, "but he's not down here, he doesn't see their nervousness. They'd feel better if they knew, and knew it was being handled." He sighed, but nodded, his eyes going blank for a moment, before they came into focus again, "He still doesn't want to share much," he said, looking mildly disappointed, "but we can let them know a little." I nodded, giving him an encouraging smile, and he turned, making eye contact with those watching and waiting nervously, beckoning them over. When a small crowd had gathered around us, he lifted his head, raising his voice,

Josefine turned to him with an arched eyebrow and a stern look, before looking back to me, "Which one of you does the Fearmonger seek?" she asked. "They said it was me," I answered quietly. "Have you confirmed it?" she asked, and I frowned, asking her, "How would I do that?" She gave a brief nod, then turned to the others, who already seemed to be gathering some things up. "Leave it with us," Josefine said, as they all began heading for the door, and Elyanna ushered for us to follow, "We will do what we can," she said encouragingly, "For now, take care of your pack, defend them if need be. We'll find you when it's time," she continued, as we followed the others outside. "When it's time for what?" I asked, as she pulled her door closed behind us, locking it with a key on a ring full of others. My mind caught on that detail for some reason, it seeming odd, given her tiny cottage, for there to be so many. She smiled and reached over to touch my cheek gently, drawing my attention back t

"Just like Margrethe herself," Mathilde breathed softly, half to herself, and Anne stood, coming closer and peering over her friend's shoulder. "Truly!" she gasped, seeming just as surprised and impressed as Mathilde was. I frowned at them both, as Lisbet began to withdraw again, "Margrethe?" I asked, and they stared at me in mild disbelief."Queen Margrethe, of course!" Josefine said, sounding a little offended, and Anne turned to face her. "She is so young, you cannot expect her to remember a Queen long before her time," Anne said gently. Josefine tilted her chin up slightly, "She was also a werewolf, do they not teach the history of their own Royals?" she asked, and Elyanna sighed. "Whether they do or not, Laila had no control over what she herself was taught as a child," she said sternly, "Do not place the blame that belongs to the generations past on her shoulders."Anne nodded agreement, along with Sofie, and Josefine scowled. "It may be the fault of generations past, but will sh

Elyanna opened the door a moment later, with a small frown in her face. Seeing us, she stepped outside, rather than inviting us in, pulling the door closed behind her. "Finn, Laila," she said with a warm smile, though her forehead still held a small crease, "What's happened?" she asked. Finn and I exchanged a glance, and he gave her an apologetic smile, "This.. probably won't be a quick conversation," he said hesitantly, "Would you prefer to have it inside?" Her lips pursed together as she shifted uncomfortably, "Ah, at the moment, I have.. company," she said awkwardly, "That you may not wish to overhear?" she continued, her tone suggestive. He sighed, and nodded, "We hoped it might have been the kind of company that might have offered further insight," he said gently, "We've just had some ourselves." She raised an eyebrow, "You have learned something?" she asked, seeming surprised, and Finn shook his head, giving a short laugh. "No, I don't think so," he said, "It was Yannick, from

Marian looked stunned, the colour draining from her face, and she closed her eyes, rubbing her forehead, seeming to process what he'd just told her. "Okay," she said shakily, ".. okay, okay.." she took a couple of deep breaths, her eyes still closed as she calmed herself, before looking back at Finn and I. "Are we still trying to keep the South Wing clear?" she asked, sounding much more composed. Finn nodded, "Yes, if we can manage without it," she nodded again, seeming to have fully recovered from her shock as she took charge, and I had to admire her ability to react well under pressure. "We only have five patients at the moment, in wards One through Three," she said, seemingly half to herself. "Camille!" she called out, and the other nurse stuck her head out of one of the nearby wards, "Prepare ward Twelve for emergency triage, we might have a lot of incomings. Eleven too, just in case."Camille stared at her in disbelief for a moment, and Marian raised an eyebrow, "Now! Laila and
