~Leo~ I was unsure of our situation. The things Gavin said made me worried. I doubted my son would be able to handle the heat he was trying to bring upon them. Honestly, we all thought he was dead, and seeing the damage he was about to cause, I wished we were right. Amelia's breathing had improved, which meant she would wake up soon. I wondered about the state Andrew and Kevin were in. Only time will tell. Had they been awake now, we would have been able to find something to do about the situation instead of sitting and waiting for the inevitable. I knew Gavin would kill us eventually. He just wanted to give me time to witness everything taken from me before he finished me off, and I doubted Tamia would be spared. The scary part of it all is that Sylvester won't know that Tamia is a target since all the activities are ongoing in the East. I didn't know how I would warn them. I felt helpless. With Black dormant, there wasn't much I could do. I had never been in a situation lik
~Leo~ Kevin stirred after a bit and then Andrew. They might have underdose Kevin too. I guess Gavin's isuess was with me and my family and Andrew was just a necessary casualty. I would never know but I was gald to sense their wolves. "Andrew," I linked my in-law. "Leo, thank goddess, we thought you were dead. Where are we? Who did this? There is a lot of heat on your sons for this shit," he said, rushing through his words, and I figured he wasn't disoriented. I explained everything to him, and he was silent for a bit. "I knew that fucker could not be trusted. Noah and Sebastien hated the guy, and it had nothing to do with Ashley," Kevin said, and I knew he had more issues with Moses than the rest of us. "It was Moses who asked me to join him in Bree to decide on something he planned to get Ashley. I didn't know I was going to fall into an ambush. One second, I want to shift; the next, I feel a prick on my neck, and everything goes dark. That bastard. I will show him when we leav
~Noah~ "Alpha, the outlands have been breached," a kappa reported, signalling the onset of battle. We were stationed at the borders of Hill Valley, prepared for the impending confrontation. We anticipated the attack from that direction. Our forces were ready, but we were outnumbered. Our success would hinge on our strength, speed, and agility, as well as the advantage provided by the silver immunity of some of us. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on my heart; facing seasoned alphas in combat was no small feat, especially when they were once our allies. "It's time," Justin announced to the assembled warriors, then turned to Sebastien, Ethan, and me. "As leaders of this territory, you will command this battle. Are you prepared to lead?" he inquired, to which we all affirmed our readiness. However, Ethan's demeanour hinted at inner turmoil. This situation felt inherently wrong; should we perish tonight, the Alberts' legacy would be lost. I glanced at Winter, who stoo
~Noah~ Amidst my kin, I felt the tension thick in the air as we clashed with the Eastern werewolf packs. Outnumbered though we were, hope still burned within us. Our strategy was clear: target the alphas, and victory would be within reach. "Focus your efforts on the alphas," I communicated through our link, sighting an imposing Alpha wolf amidst the fray. Their stature and agility made them easily discernible amidst the chaos. I silently thanked the moon for granting us this advantage; its wisdom proved invaluable in the heat of battle. Adrenaline surged through my veins as the scent of blood and sweat mingled with the earthy aroma of fur and soil. With a primal roar, I led the charge, my pack, comprised of both family and friends, rallying behind me. The clash was savage and relentless. Fangs bared and claws extended, we tore into the enemy ranks with ferocious abandon, taking down the Alphas. The ladies and kappas shot at the enemy from the forest, and I watched them fall like
~Gemma~ I waited impatiently at the clinic, not knowing what to hope for. If I hoped that no one was brought in, there was a possibility there were no survivors, and everyone was dead, and if I hoped people would be brought in, then there was a possibility that everyone would be injured or maybe Noah and Sebastian had yielded. My nerves were all over the place, and Doctor Marian could not help me. She couldn't give me anything for my nerves because of my condition. I sat on the couch in the doctor's office, my hand on my stomach, praying for everything to go well. I never knew we would ever have to fight in our lifetime. I believed our parents had done all the work. I guess I was wrong because a battle was ongoing right now. "We need to keep calm," My wolf said, and I knew I needed to relax for the sake of my baby. I was worried and decided to lie down. Sleep engulfed me after a few minutes. "Wake up, Gemma," I heard someone say, and I sat up. I was a bit disoriented, but wh
~Gemma~ Lucas looked peaceful as if he was sleeping, but his pale skin sent another message. He was burning up, and I had to look for ways to cool him down. Unfortunately, he was the only one that had adverse effects. I sat by Lucas to watch him, praying that he would open his eyes. Sebastian walked in, looking worried. I knew he was trying to compose himself. "She will be fine. I gave her the antidote," I said, not wanting him to be worried. "Summer is awake; I came to check on you and Lucas. Brandon is up, too. Hasn't he woken up?" he asked, and fear gripped me. If Summer and Brandon had been awake, then Lucas would have woken up by now unless the antidote had not worked. Did I not give him the right dose? "Gemma, are you okay?" I heard Sebastian say, but his voice was distant. I was panicking, and he could see it. While I was trying to compose myself, the electrocardiogram went off, and Lucas began to flatline. I became frantic. Medical practitioners rushed into the room, a
~Noah~ As the chaos settled, everyone regained their health in the hospital, and the dawn began to break. Winter, Sebastien, Summer, Ethan, and I trudged our weary bodies homeward, the weight of exhaustion and accomplishment heavy upon us. It was surreal to think that we had just faced a battle more perilous than anything we'd encountered before, yet here we were, battered but victorious. Sebastien, Ethan, and I shared a silent acknowledgement of the newfound pride that adorned our belts, a pride earned through blood, sweat, and sheer determination. This victory was not just a notch in our belts; it was a testament to our resilience, our unity, and our unyielding spirit in the face of adversity. Our achievements in the Grizlo case now seemed a mere shadow compared to the threat we had just overcome. But amidst the triumph, there lingered the sombre reminder of the lives lost in the skirmish, comrades who had fought alongside us and now lay silent in the wake of battle. Their sacr
~Sebastein~ As the chaos of battle engulfed us, despair threatened to consume me whole. We were a ragtag group, standing firm against a tide of enemies who seemed intent on our destruction. The odds were stacked against us, and every blow struck by our adversaries echoed with the weight of our impending defeat. The venomous hatred directed towards us, fueled by the alphas and their followers, cut deep into the core of our being. It was a stark reminder of the prejudices and grievances harboured by those who saw us as adversaries, as overprivileged and undeserving. But amidst the onslaught, amidst the despair, a glimmer of hope emerged. It was the voice of Uncle Alexei, resonating through the chaos like a beacon of salvation. I turned, my heart pounding with a mixture of disbelief and relief, to behold the reinforcements that had arrived with him. At that moment, I knew we weren't alone in this fight. They had braved the riots and defied the barriers erected by our enemies, all to
