As we approached the house, we seen a strange black car in the driveway, we went into the house and seen our mother putting EJ down in his bed, there was a man arguing with our father with a young boy about five years old sitting beside him on the couch. They were getting in an intense argument, so we moved closer listening.

“You know the deal Beta, now it is time for you to pay up.” The strange man said we could not see his face for his back was to us. “He is my son; I cannot just give him to you.” “You can and you will, or you see that little boy in the crib will die, and in seven years your daughter will be next.” EJ and I looked at each other how did he know I would have been born in seven more years. Mom gasped at his words and my dad grabbed her hand conflicted. The man than took the boy and walked him out of the house. As they walked past us, I turned and watched them, the little boy looked right at me and said, “Help me little sister, it is you who must save me.” Once the door closed, I saw Lacey crying “That is Alpha Gavin the one who took us all.”

I wrapped my arm around her comforting her when I heard our mother and father talking. “Do not worry my love we will get him back I swear to you I will not stop until I die to get our Malcolm back. I closed my eyes and wanted to return home and suddenly we were jerked back into the present. “Lacey what happened?”

“You two, your wolves forced us back I do not know why.” EJ and I shared a look and took off. There was no one in sight, we finally reached the front of the pack house what I saw made me drop to my knees, and my heart shatter at the sight before me. “Malcom.”

What I saw before me was gut wrenching, and heartbreaking. Two men I have never saw before standing before me, one chained and savagely beaten, the other standing over him covered in others blood. Behind him was Emma, Dylan, Maverick, and Shawn. They were on their knees covered in cuts, bruises, and blood. Dylan was in tears and from there I seen why. I seen Jake and Cammy lying on the forest floor, neither were moving. Jake was laying over top Cammy as if he were protecting her. I fell to my knees as well, two of my dearest friends dead and I was not there to protect them.

The man standing above everyone spoke. “I see your protector has found you, Hi Lacey, good to see you again.” Lacey snarled at his remarks, you could feel the hatred and rage flow from her as he spoke. I seen tears in her eyes as well looking at the man lying in front of the one speaking, could he be my brother Malcom. “You see, Micaiah you were not supposed to be born, but here you are. I know Lacey has told you some valuable information. You are probably wondering why? I got what I wanted, why would I come back all those years later and murder your parents?”

His admission caused my anger to rise within me. “You see Micaiah, I took their oldest son Malcolm because of a prophecy, and they were to never have anymore children. Then you came along, and that prophecy changed.” We all were puzzled by this information and I for one had no idea of what prophecy he was talking about. “Now we are at a standstill in this are we not? I will be taking my former Beta Malcolm back with me and you Micaiah will not follow and will live your little life here or he will die just like your friends.”

Another woman appeared from thin air smiled at Lacey and they all three vanished.

I got up and ran to Jake and Cammy, how could I have failed them? They were always there for me when I needed them, and I am the one that cause this disaster. Tears fell from my eyes as the rain began to fall from the sky, the others circled around us and so many emotions were swirling within me.

I did not care about our secret anymore I needed Akiva and she also needed to morn as I did. As I screamed in sorrow we shifted, not paying attention to the gasps around us Akiva howled at the loss of our warriors, friends, family.

We turned and seen that the others followed suit and howled along side us, Maverick and his wolf nudged us, and we knew what he was meaning, and he wanted me to lead. We took off running the border of the land in our own farewell to Cammy and Jake. Running as fast as we all could, Cammy and Jake were full of love and happiness.

I know they went the way they wanted, fighting and side by side but I still do not know how to live with this. If I was here, they would be alive because I would give my own to protect them, they may not have been blood, but they were my family. Tomorrow they would be buried and laid to rest, my mind was clouded and I felt numb, so much to take in and I did not know how to deal with it, I did not talk to anyone, I just went to my room and showered and laid down and cried, it is all I knew to do.

I wake with my eyes feeling so heavy and head pounding from all the crying I have done. I didn’t want to talk to anyone not even my mate, or my best friend who was also feeling this painful loss. I showered, letting the hot water flow down my skin as I try to regain my composure. No makeup was needed, my tears would just make a mess.

To remember my family as we lay them down to rest, I wore our old battle gear. As I looked into the mirror, I seen a picture of all four of us me on Dylan’s back Cammy on Jake’s with her kissing him on the cheek.

I stuck the picture in my jacket pocket and headed downstairs to start the process. Maverick, Ej, Dylan, Shawn, and Emma were in the foyer waiting for me. I did not have anything to say they just joined me, and we headed to the pack cemetery. In tradition mates were buried together, as were Cammy and Jake. She laid beside her mate, I kissed both Cammy and Jake on their forehead and asked for forgiveness.

I walked to the podium took a deep breath and begun my speech. “This is not something anyone wants to get used to, death is expected in battle, but it is not welcomed. These two we lay to their final rest today were not just my friends they were my family. They were always there whenever you needed them. they lived their lives to the fullest, full of so much happiness and love.

They were true mates, aways by each other’s side. They were warriors in this life and will be in the next, Goddess please watch over them in this journey.” With my final words tears were falling, I heard snarling coming from the forest line as they were covered in dirt. When I looked up I seen the man with the huge scar over his eye.

I then heard my mate faintly say uncle. Rage began to flow through me, he was standing with the ones who murdered my family. He caused my mate so much pain, aided in taking the ones I loved.

As a growl appeared from within me, he began to laugh, which caught me off guard. I saw the witch who was their aid in battle, then the scarred man disappeared. Suddenly he had me by my throat and grabbed the picture from my pocket and looked right at Maverick, “I see you got a feisty one as a mate, this should be fun”, and then suddenly he was gone again. This was war they wanted, and it was war they were going to get.
