Chapter 23

MILA

We come into the clearing, I wanted to finish what I was going to say to Nathaniel and tell him we are not mates. But the scene before us was gruesome. There were more than eighty rouges on the pack grounds and more seemed to be coming onto the territory

Nate gives the loudest roar and starts running towards three rouges that has one person surrounded. He growls and jumps, shifts into his large black wolf and bites down on the wolf he landed on and kills him. Dropping the wolfs lifeless body to the ground, he roars and gives off the Alpha aura, making pack members know he is there and also to kill every single one of the rouges.

“Mate might be an arse but he knows how to fight” Sapphire says sounding impressed as I feel her getting closer to the surface.

“Let’s work together, we can’t shift but we can help them.” I say “We need to think about what to do with mate, reject him and we can leave the whole town, start again” Sapphire says.

“I am all for it, let’s go kill some rouges first” I says as I started to run towards the pack house to help all the women and children into the house but I am staying to fight in human form, Sapphire and I emerge as one in human form, we are still tough and we know how to kill wolves due to the training we had with George

As I come closer to the pack house, I notice that the door is closed and bolted down tight. But I soon realize from the corner of my eye, two children crouched down in the corner of a wall covering, covering their ears and their eyes where shut. How the hell are they still out here.

I ran straight to them and bent down to make sure they were ok “Are you both ok” I ask as one of the boys opened his eyes, I recognized him straight away, the boy that I saved outside the cafe. “SAM”

He looks at me and luges into my arms. I hug him back. He looks up at me with a weak smile “No one came for us, we been hiding here. But they are coming closer. I'm scared Mila” he says with tears flowing down his cheeks.

I look down at him and the other boy “What’s your name?” I ask the other boy as I squeeze his knee “mmmyyyy nnammee isss Sssimonnn” with a shaking voice.

I look around and notice that there is a sliver knife lying on the ground. “Where did that come from” I ask the boys. They look at the knife and pointed to the dead rouge which I only now seen lying motionless on the ground “It’s his, he tried to kill a warrior but the warrior took a chunk of his neck out” says Sam, quietly. I pick it up and look down at the boys “I am going to protect you ok? You stay down, don’t move unless I tell you” I tell them. They nodded their heads.

I peak over the wall, Emily is running straight towards me, a rouge is right behind her. I jump over the wall and land just behind her, the rouge is taken back and looks at me, he licks his lips and runs straight towards me. I dodge him while sliding the knife through the side of his neck, he drops dead instantly. I am covered in his blood. I can feel Sapphire coming closer now in more form, she is growling in my head. I can see my claws appear but we are still in human form, I look up to see three rouges approaching but looking stunned, I know Sapphire is more closer and our eyes are glowing “Let’s play” she said to me with a huge grin on her face. I lunge at them as Sapphire takes each one down using the knife in one hand and claws.

Emily is now standing by the side of us, I also notice Sam and Simon standing against the wall right behind us, Emily must have moved them. One rouge decides to take a leap towards the boys but I move back to get in front of them till I can feel Emily’s power building up, with one swift of her hand, she lounges the rouge away, making it fly straight into the trees.

The fighting is all coming to an end; many of the wolves are running after the rouges that are trying to flee the fight.

“WARRIORS FOLLOW THEM MAKE SURE THEY DON’T GET FREE, KILL THEM” booms the Alpha’s voice.

I look back to see Emily in between Sam and Simon, holding their hands. “You saved me again Mila” Sam says letting go of Emily’s hand and runs into me, giving me a hug. “You are going to be covered in blood now, I am glad I was here” I say which I was happy to admit.

We start to walk and I notice a man running towards us, Nathaniel comes to a complete stop in front of us as Sam lets me go of my hand and runs straight into his arms “Brother, did you see what Emily did with her hands and Mila was amazing too” he says sounding so amazed.

I look up at him and he is staring back at me “Thank you for saving my younger brother.”

I look shocked but I smile back but that’s when I hear her voice “Baby, I was so worried about you” Alyssa says while running towards him, straight into Nate’s arms. She plants her lips on his. I turned away.

My smile goes; Sapphire is back growling and pacing in my head. He looks at her and then back at me. Sam stares at her but comes back to my side and holds my hand. He is shaking. “Pup is scared of her” Sapphire says, growling more intense.

Alyssa looks up from Nate but turns her attention towards me and Emily. She smirks.

Emily raps her arm around mine and glares back at her but Dane comes running over and wraps his arms around Emily’s waist and kisses her neck. I push Emily's arm off mine as I turn, Emily grabs my hand and makes me look at her. I know she can sense my pain and Sapphire’s hatred towards them. But Dane can see the look I am giving her “Mila, Please can you talk to me? I want to help you. I don’t like seeing you in pain” he says.

I look at him and Emily “We should tell him” Sapphire says as she is trying her best not to be so angry as she is realizing how it is affecting Emily. I realize that Sam and Simon are now gone.

“We can talk over there.” I say pointing to the tree clearing at the side. He nods and guides us there.
