As I entered the living room Cammy and Jake were trying to calm both Dylan and Shawn, things had gotten really heated. I went over to Dylan to talk with him before I could speak a word, he begun lashing out at me. “You, you are supposed to be my sister, my best friend.” He shouted he was hurt and upset, “What are you talking about Dylan?” “You two, seriously. I am not stupid but both of you are acting as if I am, you both reek of each other, he comes crawling in at three thirty this morning smelling of you and now you both act like it is nothing.” “Listen Dylan, you need to get your wolf in check and think about this. We are family and I would never do anything to hurt you.” “Then if it was nothing tell me why he was with you at three in the morning?” “Dylan, I can not answer that right now.” He wouldn’t even let me finish, he then grabbed the necklace I made for him when we first met and ripped it off his neck and stormed off. My heart broke at what just happened, he was there for me when no one else was and has always stood beside me but being mates and having a strong possessiveness and jealousy gets the better of you. I hope I haven’t lost him forever. “Micaiah I am so sorry; he will not listen to me.” “It is okay Shawn; we will stick to the plan and then maybe it will knock some sense into him.” Shawn went after Dylan, and I just went out to train to work out some frustration in the training grounds. He is like my brother, and I know he isn’t thinking straight but his words hurt, him thinking I could ever betray him like that hurt. As I finished setting up a romantic lunch for Shawn and Dylan after training today in the far gardens I was walking back thinking of this morning. It is heartbreaking, my emotions are getting the best of me which is never good. At the same time those thoughts run through my head the alarm sounds, meaning rogue attack.
Without any second guesses Vee and I needed to blow off steam. We ran straight into battle. As we approached the field there were dozens of rogues facing our warriors, they were holding their own. We had some of our warriors wounded and needing medical attention quickly. Then I seen Shawn taking on three of his own rogues and Maverick four of his own. As his mate we wanted to jump to his aid, but I then saw Dylan against five rogues and was bleeding badly. Our blood was boiling no matter what happened this morning he was still my family, with that Vee took over my body.

Instantly my claws were out and with all the emotions running through myself and Ki we were looking for their blood. The rogue who had Dylan pinned on the ground was my first target. I ran straight to Dylan, grabbing the rogue by the scruff of his neck throwing him through the air and then I noticed several rogues were now surrounding myself and Dylan. I needed to act quickly he needed a doctor. Maverick and Shawn were unable to lend a hand they had rogue after rogue attacking, this was strategic and planned. I couldn’t focus on Maverick I needed to worry about the dirty mongers in front of us right now. As one of the rogues’ leaps trying to pin me, I dug my claws straight into his chest cutting as deep and far as I could. He landed in a thump, the second was quick to act. The second rogue went for my legs and the third went for my arms. The more they clawed and bit the more I was seeing red, I couldn’t hold back anymore.
I shifted causing the rogues to stare at us knowing we were rare and usually thought of as a myth. While they were in a daze, I used that as my chance, the rogue closest I took my claws across its throat deep, hearing the rogue gasp for air I knew he would be dead in a matter of seconds. The second rogue went for the attack, and I jumped landing on his back, biting at his neck feeling the bones breaking under my jaw, and the war metallic blood running down my chin and into my mouth, biting harder until the final crack of the neck causing the wolf to go limp in my grasp. As I threw the dead rogue to the ground and started stalking to the others, I noticed all the rogues have stopped and one came out of the background in human form. If you could picture what pure evil looked like it would be him. Standing at least six foot tall, semi long black hair, dark skin, brown eyes, and a scar going from his left eyebrow across the middle of his nose to his right ear lope. He was chuckling as he approached the field, looking straight into my eyes, causing Maverick to appear by my side and growl at the man across from us. “Easy there boy, your safe for now.” Maverick and I both looked at each other in confusion. “I want to thank you, now my Alpha will be very pleased at what we found.” I shifted back into Micaiah, giving her control.

What did he mean by that, after shifting he smiled even more? “You know little one, we were here for your mate but now I think our Alpha would rather have you instead. Until next time.” With that he and the other rogues disappeared into the woods. Instantly I looked to Dylan who was already being looked over by a doctor and bitching about it. “I am fine, chill the fuck out and let me go.” At least I know he is in the clear. Shawn took him off and hopefully Shawn goes through with the proposal. As they headed out I stared out to where the evil looking man was once standing, thinking if everything. Nothing made sense right now about what he said but even before, but how the hell did they get through the patrol, how did they know our strategies, they were way to prepared for us and only meant one thing and I needed to talk to Maverick privately about it. I turned and looked at Maverick, he could tell I wanted to talk to him. We entered his office and he stared at me knowing the situation before us and that things could not go without discussing the prior events. “Listen Maverick, someone is betraying you, they knew way too many of our strategies, and got passed way too many of our patrol to be a fluke.” He huffed out a large breath, “I agree, I just hate the idea because we have no clue who it could possibly be.” “I know but who was that guy?” “Micaiah, honestly I have no idea, I don’t even know who he works for, why he is after me, or why now he would be after you? This shit just isn’t making any sense.” “We will figure it out Maverick, I promise.” “Let’s head to the balcony and see if Shawn doesn’t wimp out on us and maybe we can fix that relationship between you and Dylan. Then tomorrow when Emma and EJ get back we will discuss everything, okay?” “Okay”. He smiled his pearly whites at me, and we headed to the balcony hoping the best for Shawn, I knew he was nervous and after today, probably even more nervous. From the distance we seen Shawn and Dylan approaching the romantic area we set for them. They sat and ate, and you could tell Dylan was at ease and not as frustrated as this morning. Suddenly, Shawn then got up from the table and got on one knee we knew what was happening and were hanging on edge trying to see his answer, we then seen Dylan jumping and screaming happily. We left the balcony to join them and celebrate their engagement, everyone was so happy for them. When we approached them, Dylan looked at me sadly, I didn’t know what to expect when he walked up to me. “Ki bear, I am so sorry for everything this morning. I should have never accused you; you are my sister; my best friend and you would never do that to me. I hope you can forgive me.” “Always Dilly bear.” We hugged it out and I would not let this come between us. “So, we got some planning to do.” I said to Dylan who was grinning like a boy on Christmas morning. I hugged Maverick and went to spend the rest of the afternoon with Dylan and Cammy to do our early planning. It really wasn’t far Jake, Maverick, and Shawn were in Mav’s office we were in the living room across the hall.
