POV Craig
I woke up with a gasp and jumped out of bed. I threw on some clothes and ran towards Coltons room while I mind linked Patrick, Zeke, and Owen. I asked Owen to get Sally and told all of them to meet me at the Alpha's bedroom. Thankfully they all responded.
I banged on the door and a few moments later, a tired Colton opened the door. He looked at me in confusion.
"Craig? What's going on?" he asked as he rubbed his face.
I pushed my way inside.
"Hold on, we need to wait for the others." I answered.
I frantically paced as we waited, praying to the Goddess to keep Kitty, her family and my pack members safe.
POV KittyI awoke to chaos. Sammy was in my face. I looked around to see Locke and Cash frantically waking Tommy and my family."What's going on?" I asked in confusion."The council already met and just voted in Nick's favor. We think they did it in the middle of the night so that the Werewolves and the rest of the Vampire coven wouldn't hear about it until it was all done and he already had you with him. Luckily, Locke didn't trust them and stayed up to spy. We have to get you out of here now. Nick and the council are on their way." she spat out as I dressed."Make sure my family is safe." I cried as I rushed to get the spells. I grabbed the huge bag and handed som
POV KittyI tightened my grip on Neil's shoulders as he soared down the stairs. Suddenly, we heard a loud bang above us."Time to get out of the stairwell." Locke yelled.We ran through a door as we heard several more doors bang open and shut below us."Do you think they made it to the bottom floor?" I asked Locke referring to the group that contained my cousins, Uncles and Tommy."If not, they were close. The workers on the lower levels will help them get down to the last one. This isn't the only stairwell, it's just the only one that connects all the floors." he answered as we looked at the floor we were on. It was dark and quiet. I could barely see and I was glad
POV CraigI was pleasantly surprised that no one shoot at or attacked us in any way as we ran to the building. There seemed to be no defenses.{Where are the defenses?} I asked Colton, Zeke and Owen in the link as we ran.{Maybe they were shut off. I don't know but I'm glad} Colton replied and I agreed.We made it to the building just as a door opened. We all tensed but were shocked to see Tommy with a small girl clinging to him. He was followed by Stone holding one boy while another hung off his back. Cash and Vic followed each with a human man. They were quickly joined with Vampire warriors."Caden! Aiden! Nash!" Sally yelled and jumped off my back.
POV KittyAs we stepped through the door, I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. The guard stepped to the side and we all backed up to the wall. Saga spelled the door while I clung to Neil and stared. In front of us was a group of council warriors. They weren't facing us and that's not what had me speechless. In front of them, staring right at us was Craig with Sally. Tommy, Colton, Skye, Paul, Owen, Zeke, Stone, Cash and a bunch of Vampires were there. They all looked a bit roughed up but I was relieved to see them relatively unharmed. Just then, the council warriors started to turn towards us. That knocked me out of my stupor. I jumped off of Niel and started casting. I was throwing spells from my pockets and casting more that I didn't even know that I knew.
POV KittyI watched as Nick lost his last shred of sanity and humanity. I could literally see that light die in his eyes. I knew that I should be scared. I was standing in front of great evil. This vampire and his coven were powerful and worse than that, they had no morals or standards. They would rip us apart if we let them.I wasn't scared though. I felt as though everything in my life had led up to this moment. Every thing I had gone through in the woods, with the pack, losing my Dad, even losing my Mom. All of it led here. I knew then that this was what I was meant to do. This was bigger than Nick wanting me as his. This was about an evil council oppressing and harming the very Vampires they were supposed
POV CraigI took a deep breath and gripped Kitty's hand as Clay swung the door open. We silently walked in and looked around. We looked to be in a giant storage area. There were cabinets and drawers all over the walls and lining down the middle. I turned to look at Kitty in confusion. She shrugged with just as much confusion in her eyes.Tommy looked towards us and opened his mouth to speak when we heard a shuffling sound. Neil gestured for us to stay quiet as we crept towards the noise silently. We crept around another corner to see Nick frantically searching through drawers and throwing stuff around. We watched as he grabbed something and nodded. He threw that object into a gym bag that was on the floor next to him. Then he continued searching.Clay and I glance at each other but then I saw Nick freeze in my peripheral vision. My eyes snapped to him and I watched in horror as he took a deep breath and smirked."Kitty." he said and turne
POV KittyTrigger warningI watched in disbelief as Craig fell to the ground. Nick stood behind him with a syringe and an evil smile."What did you do?!!!" I screamed at him."Don't worry. I just knocked him out. He'll be fine. Well, he would be fine if I wasn't going to kill him." Nick smirked at me.Nick went to bend over Craig's body but Tommy to the chance to tackle him then. Nick fell with Tommy on top of him. Tommy stayed on him and began punching Nick in the face as hard as he could. Nick took a few good hits before he pushed Tommy off him and Tommy went flying into the wall. I watched as he slid to the ground, unconscious.I looked around the room to see all my friends on the ground. I was just glad that they were all alive still. I took a deep breath and glared at Nick."Now it's just you and I." Nick smirked and I narrowed my eyes at him."How did you do that?" I gestured toward
POV CraigI woke to the sound of a scream. Not just any scream, it was Kitty's scream. The sound had me jumping to my feet. As I stood, Clay looked over to me. He looked like he was just getting up as well. I looked around to see Neil standing looking in horror around the room. Abby and Tommy were still on the ground but I could see them breathing.I could hear a voice talking and even laughing faintly. Clay, Neil and I all exchanged a look and crept towards the noise. Just as we were about to turn the corner we heard a sound that I never want to hear again. It was Kitty screaming but it was such a raw and primal sound, full of heartbreak and fear but yet resilience and bravery too. It was bittersweet and made my eyes tear up.A bright light appeared and we rushed towards it. We were shocked to see that it was Kitty. She was literally radiating light. It washed over us and I felt a calmness in my soul. When it faded along with her scream, I was
5 Years LaterPOV KittyI nervously paced the room for a moment as I thought back to all the little moments that brought me here. I smiled as I looked out the window. It was a bright November day. The air was just beginning to turn into the crisp fall air I loved but it was still warm and lovely. It was a perfect day.My grinned turned even bigger as I watched the pack set up the chairs and aisle in the back yard. They all worked together and soon everything looked to be done.The pack had grown so rapidly in these past few years. News got out about the pack that accepted everyone including Humans and soon Supernaturals and Humans were arriving at our doorstep in droves. The Supernatural Council even visited a few years ago. We were all nervous that they would order us to disband but we were pleasantly surprised to find that they were completely supportive of us.It didn't hurt that we h
POV KittyThe next morning I awoke in Craig's arms. I looked up to see him already awake and staring at me with a smile."Creeper." I teased and he chuckled in his raspy morning voice."Only for you, Darlin'" he replied and I blushed and tried to hide my face."Aww. I love that blush and I work hard for it. Don't hide it from me." he teased back."Stttooopp" I whined blushing even more. "Alright, alright. Are you hungry, still tired? What do you want or need?" he asked seriously.That's when it hit me that today was my Grandmother's funeral. I could feel my face fall and Craig must have noticed it too."Don't do that, baby. I know that today will be difficult for you but I'll be by your side the entire time. So will the whole pack. You aren't alone anymore. You will never be alone again, alright?" he said as he looked deep into my eyes.I nodded and he stared at me for a second."I'm so sorry tha
POV CraigAfter the joining oath ended, Kitty rushed off to see her family. I watched her but didn't join them right away. I wanted her to have a bit of time with her family and I didn't want to suffocate her. In reality though, I wanted nothing more than to go pick her up and lock her in our room with me. My wolf and I were still trying to calm down from the recent events and it was taking all my willpower not to act like the caveman I really was. Clay and Luna came up to me and I smiled at their joined hands. Clay introduced me to Luna and I smiled warmly at her and shook her hand. She returned my smile. I looked back over to check on Kitty and Clay followed my gaze."Bro, is this killing you? I didn't think you'd let her leave your side. At least not yet." he teased.I scoffed but cringed internally knowing that he understood that this was torture for me."She seems so sweet and lovely." Luna chimed in with a calming voice and
POV KittyWhen we got back to the pack house. Colton ordered everyone to go rest and to regroup that evening for a huge dinner. "Will everyone have a bed?" I asked Craig and he smiled at me as he carried me up to our room."Darlin' we don't even use half of the rooms in this place. Everyone will be fine." he assured me.He walked into our room and I took a deep breath. "I can't believe that I'm finally here again. I've missed this place so much." I sighed as he set me on the bed."Sally helped me set your alter back up and I was sure to bring all your things back and put them away." Craig said as he opened the cupboard to show me the alter."Thank you so much! I was worried about my Mother's book." I smiled at him."Like I would leave something so important to you." he scoffed."I'm gonna take a shower. I feel gross." I stated as I stood up."Can I join you, Darlin'?" he asked.I looked u
POV CraigWe raced after Kitty into the hallway. The group that was originally there was gone but I didn't have time to think about it as Kitty ripped open the door on the left side of the hall. This was the door that Sally, Paul, Sammy, Zeke, Kitty's Grandmother and Sammy had gone in. The room looked similar to the one we found Nick in but it was all but destroyed. Drawers and shelves were scattered on the floor. We could hear crying and screaming. My blood chilled as we made our way to the sound. I tried to grab Kitty back when we saw what was happening but she was too fast and ran towards the chaos.In the center of the room stood Nick's mother. She was holding Kitty's Grandmother who was obviously dead. Saga and Sally were crying and screaming as Paul, Zeke and Sammy looked on in disbelief."She's dead. You are all next. I will take your power just as I've take hers." Nicks mother laughed.Kitty slipped in between her Aunts an
