I knew those eyes.
I missed those eyes.
I could feel tears run down my face as I stared back at her.
Bex was grinning.
“Rest,” she said. “You did good, Rox.”
With that, I felt my body shifting.
Bex shifted into her proper form as I came closer to look through her eyes.
I stared at the young girl, who was stunned but smiled.
“Luna,” she said with a bow.
Bex nodded.
“Let’s find mate,” she said.
Bex trotted through the forest with the young girl, who shifted back into her wolf and followed behind us. We weren’t that far from the clearing to the pack. We had no idea what we were getting into, but the stench of blood filled the air, which was not a good sign.
I knew I had to talk to Bex before we did anything.
“Bex,” I called out. “I missed you.”
Bex laughed. “I missed you too,” she said. “I must admit, I felt everything that b***h did to you.”
I looked at her.
“You felt it all?” I asked, more of a question than anything.
Bex didn’t say anything for a few seconds but sighed. “Rox,” she said. “I will be honest with you; I felt it all, but I wasn’t alone.”
I stared at her, but a frown formed.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well, I wasn’t alone,” she said, “I mean, the moon goddess was with me. She told me that I had to wait till you needed me; she told me that you needed to deal with the human as the human’s wolf asked for your help.”
The thought of Elle saddened me slightly, but knowing the moon goddess was there was something unheard of. She never interferes with anything that is regarding her wolves. Well, I mean, there have never been any sightings or stories we were told over the years.
“Rox,” she called out, pulling me back to her. “I got this now, but when we need to kill that alpha, we need mate. I mean, we need to be with him.”
Bex looked back at me as she slowed her pace and came to a stop.
I smiled.
“I want Lex,” I said. “I missed him too.”
Bex nodded, and her face softened. “I know,” she said. “I felt that too.”
Bex looked back and trotted to the clearing, and stopped.
I came closer and felt sick to my stomach as I stared out.
The pack grounds were covered with bodies of wolves, rogues, and pack members. It was hard to work out if there were alive or dead.
Our eyes scanned over what was happening, and Bex gave a low snarl.
Rogues were circling the remaining pack members, separating them into sections.
I noticed Alpha Frank, Alpha Dean, Nathan, and Alpha Gareth were in one circle, while all pack members were in a third with Jason and Sofia, trying to get through and get to the third circle.
I looked at the circle closest to me; more than eight men were holding one person.
My heart clenched as I knew who it was; he wasn’t in the other circles.
Lex.
My mate.
There was no time to think as Bex started to charge, as a man began to walk into the circle toward Lex.
Bex growls out.
We knew who it was.
I wanted that prick’s head for what he had done to my pack.
Bex sprinted toward the circle, and two rogues turned around as we got close, but we jumped over them all and landed right between Lex and Alpha Trevor, who had just shifted into his wolf.
Bex doesn’t think about it as we both know what to do as we attack his wolf, not giving him a second thought.
We needed to keep Alpha Trevor’s wolf busy so Lex could get free.
Alpha Trevor’s wolf snapped at us, but Bex went for him. She aimed for his legs and even jumped on him, digging her nails into his shoulder.
His wolf was strong, but we were too fast for him.
“Wear him out,” I shouted as she lunged at him once more and bit his hind leg.
A scent wafts toward us, which causes us to stop.
We look up and spot Lex, who just took out six of the rogues that held him down.
A shadow loomed over us, but as Bex went to turn around, Alpha Trevor’s mouth gripped onto her side, causing her to howl loudly.
The Alpha dog’s grip tightened as he lifted her, shook her hand, and threw Bex hurtling toward the side.
We landed with a huge thud.
I felt Bex shift back, whimpering. Pain radiated through me.
I was back in human form, trying to get up. I glanced to the side, where the stupid mutt gripped us, and there in its place was a lot of blood spilling out of my side.
I felt weak and could feel darkness sweep in harshly as I fell back, lying on the ground with my eyes beginning to close.
Darkness overcame me, but I turned my head and spotted Lex on top of Alpha Trevor’s wolf.
My eyes close, and I stare back as Bex’s eyes fall asleep. “Rest,” she murmurs before she falls into a deep sleep.
I could sense tiredness swooping in, and all I needed was to sleep.
LEX
I stare as Alpha Trevor’s wolf throws Bex like a ragdoll.
He stokes toward her.
Anger fills every fiber of my body, and Blaze growls out. “Mate,” he snarls.
Blaze comes forward once more, and we use all our strength to push off all the rogues. We used our speed and gripped each one that came at us, either squeezing the life out of them or ripping them apart.
I stare ahead as I only have one focus, and that’s getting to Bex before Alpha Trevor’s wolf decides to use her as a chew toy.
I watch as he stares at me. His wolf’s eyes focus on me, but he looks back at Bex and sniggers as he walks toward her.
Oh no, you don’t, I thought.
“Blaze,” I shouted. “Now.”
I pushed back and let Blaze take over, shifting into his form and ripping a rogue, shredding him apart with his claws.
We start to charge toward Alpha Trevor’s wolf, but two wolves jump in front of me. Blaze pushes off the ground and jumps, landing on Alpha Trevor’s wolf back.
Blaze sinks his teeth into his neck, and the big dog howls.
Blaze sinks deeper, placing his claws deeper into his back.
Blaze grips tighter, shaking the wolf hard. Blaze growls and snarls as the wolf tries to free himself, but nothing works.
“Blaze rip out his throat,” I yelled.
Blaze uses his other paw and grips his neck, claws sinking into his neck. Once his nails are in, Blaze rips his throat and drops the dog’s lifeless body.
Blaze roars, letting our alpha aura slip through to let everyone know that Alpha Trevor is dead.
Blaze growls loudly as he moves the dead body to the side and snarls as he stares back at the rogues.
Rogues stop and stare, fear rolling off every single one of them.
Blaze lets me take control, and I shift back into my human form.
