"I have to go!" I shout as I go to sprint to the woods, I need to find cover, I need to get as far away from here as I possibly can before she gets here."Wait!" He grabs a hold of my wrist, stopping me. I turn to look at him as he goes to say something else but then his facial expression drops and pales as he looks over his shoulder, the sound of a speeding car in the distance reaches our ears and panic erupts from both of us. "GO!" He barks, suddenly changing his tune and letting go of me, "RUN!" He shouts pointing in the direction I was heading. I run, not looking back behind me, as I reach the tree line I hear the screeching sound of rubber on tarmac and them the sound of a car speeding over uneven ground and then the vehicle squealing to a stop by the van. Followed by raised voices, shouting angrily, "What's going on? Where is Bock?" A woman's voice bellows, "Where's the girl?" Then, "find her! She can't of gotten far, especially in her condition!" In my cond
"Chilli, what do you mean 'now"? What happened? Lets wait untill the baby is born...""But that will be months," she complains,"But it will give us time to build our strength, our forces,""Elias no! Our child is being born in our home,""Home is where ever we are,""in our territory then," she adds,"Chilli, please," I plead. "No! I am not letting them have our house our pack, no!""We have no pack, no army" I try to tell her,"You have the winter pack," erin says,"Yeah," Leroy adds, "they are still loyal to your family Elias, its just they are scared, they need a leader.""But my father, mother,""Were defeated. I'm sorry to say," Erin interjects, "they need you to stand up and fight for them, they need an alpha."Weez POV "GO! RUN!!," I bark, letting go of her, realising what I want is not important, she needs to leave now. I can see and sence how fearful she is of that woman. I want to go with her, to sta
Bea POV "What about him?" The useless man asks pointing at the body lying in a pool of it's own blood."Leave him," I say, wiping the blood from my fingers on his shirt, "I need to get back to Logan now," I tell him walking back to the car and climbing back into the backseats. "Hurry up, lets go!" I bark at him, "we need to inform the alpha that his daughter has killed again. "Yes marm." Elias POV "Chilli you need to rest," I suggest as I pull off my hoodie and hand it to her so she isn't completely naked."No I don't! Will everyone stop telling me that, stop telling me what I need!" She snaps, pulling the garment on over her head, her long, blondish hair stays tucked inside, making it look like her hair is short like a bob, framing her face beautifully."Hormones," Leroy says elbowing Erin who is standing next to him as Chilli growls at him, less than impressed."Leroy!" Erin snaps at him also not amused by his comment.
As I hold a sleeping Chilli in my arms, there is a gentle knock on the door and a head appears from behind it. "Shhh," I whisper, touching a finger to my lips and them pointing down at the sleeping she wolf. Erin mouths the word 'sorry,' to me as I open a mind-link with her.'It's okay,''Sorry, I just wanted to see how she was,''Sleeping at last,''I can see that,' she goes to leave but before she does Erin adds, 'did she say anything about what happened to her?''A little,' I feel my face somber, 'she was on about someone called Beatrice or Bea? I'm not sure, Erin, do you know her?' I ask as her face pales and drops.'Bea? Are you sure that's what she said?''Yes, Pauline's cousin I think she said, she was rambling a bit. Why?''Oh, goddess... did she get her hands on her?' She asks as she perches on the arm of the chair.'I don't think so, not directly, why? Who is she?'"Erin?" Leroy's booming voice carries into the room.'S
Chill POV The sounds of screams from my loved ones, my people deafen me, filling my mind, body and soul. I can feel their pain, their suffering like it is my own, they are crying out for help, for us, for anyone to help them, but no one answers, no one comes and it brakes my heart. I feel powerless and unable to help them. My body feels wet with sweat like I am drenched in it, but no, this isn't sweat, it's ... blood, their blood, and I feel like I am drowning in it as I suffercate on their misery. I gasp for air but nothing comes, nothing reaches my lungs only hurt, as my heart pounds in my chest, swelling in the confined space as the pressure from the red liquid surrounds me and constricts in on me, whilst panic and fear over running my mind. 'Stop it! Get a grip! You need to be strong and pull yourself together. You are Charlotte Winters! You are a red wolf and a future luna of the winter pack, now act like it!' A voice that sounds like my own scolds me, making me see reason. I s
The bright sunlight hurts my eyes as I emerge from the shadows, 'where am I?' I think to myself just before it becomes abundantly clear. I'm home, oh, it feels so amazing to be back where I belong, I finally feel at peace within myself as flashes of happy memories flicker before my eyes. Memories of joyest times with Erin, Leroy and Elias playing or training in the courtyard in the cool sunshine of spring. Of the love beating within these walls, of... I gasp feeling all the air rush from my lungs, 'what ... what have they done?' I stagger looking around me at the place I once called home. 'What happened?' I can't help but wonder. My home, it... it's suddenly... it is cold? Empty and emotionless. The joy and warmth vanishes like someone has flicked a switch to reveal the horror of reality. Everything pales and dulls as the colour fades away taking away the ... hope, hope for the future, for live and love, the hope and faith in ... us! Is ... dying.It freezes me to my core and breaks m
Chilli POV I wake up in the morning with my mind still racing with what was said in the middle of the night, and excitement at the prospects of going home, even though it's not going to be easy, far from it. But also dred from my dreams and the fear for how real or close to reality it could be.Elias yawns and stretches his arms as he climbs out of the bed, whilst I feel hot under the skin from the nights adventure,"So?" I ask inpatiently, unable to wait a second more and wanting to keep my mind from wondering about into that dream, but he just chuckles at me as he heads towards the door."So... what?" He asks in a teasing way, "Elias!" I can't help but bark at him, this is no joking matter, "you said you agreed with me! That we were going to go back and ...""Yes, I did, and I also said we'd talk about it in the morning," he interrupts me very calmly."Well it's morning, so, whats the plan?" I ask, sitting upright in the bed like a student e
Elias POV Why is she feeling guilty all of a sudden? The weight of it hurts my heart, what is she thinking about? I reach out under the table and squeeze her hand tightly on instinct, trying to ground her and bring her back to me. I go to whisper in her mind when Erin's stern voice pulls my attention,"Elias!" I turn to see the both of them staring at me, "Yo, dude, you with us?" Leroy asks,"Yes, what? Sorry," I stumble over my words in response to them, having no clue what they are talking about."Food, we need to go up at get what we want. Hey, Chilli, you..." I wave my free hand at Erin to cut her off as I interrupt her by saying, "No, don't, leave her be. I'll grab her something." Erin gives us a worrying look, then nods and pushes her chair back to get up from the table as Leroy follows suit. I gently let go of Chilli's hand but as my fingertips brush over her skin as they leave her hand, she turns and looks at me with glass eyes, clearly l
