“Where is Kade?” The rogue chuckles before spitting blood at me.
“Fuck you" He spits at me. He couldn’t have been older than eighteen. Such a shame to see a rogue so young. Most eighteen-year-olds had the safety of a pack, so it made me wonder what he did to become a rogue.
“You don’t have long left; do you want to spend those few minutes in more agony? Tell me and I will make it quick,”
He doesn’t answer, I raise my hand letting my claws extend and wriggling them, just before I plunge them in his stomach he flinches. “Wait,” He says, and I drop my hand.
“Where is Kade?” I ask again. Beckett and Max growling behind me.
“I’m surprised you left your pack. We knew your scouts were tracking us. I didn’t think you would fall for it, come all the way out here leaving your pack without its Alpha,”
“Stop spilling nonsense and tell me where he is” I growl at him. He smiles and I see his wolf come forward, his eyes turning black and a sadistic smile on his face going from ear to ear.
“Kade isn’t the one you should be worried about right now, he is watching. Waiting. Bidding his time” Beckett and Max's eyes darting between the trees looking for any sign of him. My eyes not leaving his.
I plunge my hand into his stomach, and he screams in pain, blood dribbling from his mouth and down his chin before he regains himself and smiles again like a lunatic.
“If you’re here, who is protecting your precious Luna?” He says before laughing. My heart pounds in my chest at his words.
“Lily” I whisper. Her name got stuck in my throat. Spinning around, I look at Beckett and Max.
“Get to the pack it was a fucking trap” I scream to them, they look at me before taking off. Turning back to the rogue, he was nearly dead, his breathing shallow.
“What are they planning?” I tell him, shaking him trying to get him to answer. He chuckles and coughs on his blood.
“Estella said to tell you she said Hi” I plunged my hand in his chest and watched as he died before shifting and heading back to the car. I could feel eyes on me and knew Kade was close, but right now I needed to get to the pack. Getting back to Lily, driving at full speed I slow down and stop when I catch up to Beckett and Max they quickly jump in my car.
We had been driving for a few minutes when I saw something in the middle of the road. We were only a few minutes out with my driving from the Pack and so far, I couldn’t feel any distress indicating trouble with the Pack. More figures dart onto the road, but I have no intention of stopping as I plough through them, when suddenly I hear a loud popping noise and feel the car lose control and head into a ditch. It throws Max through the windscreen and Beckett slams into the dash. My head smashing into the steering wheel as the car crashes into a tree in the ditch.
Groaning, I look up and see wolves surrounding us.
Chapter 42
Lily POV
Damien had only been gone for around half an hour. I was busy helping Natalia clean up after breakfast and was about to go change into something more comfortable and suitable for painting. Walking upstairs, I duck into the walk-in and strip my clothes off. Pulling on a pair of shorts, I do the button up and bend down to pick up my shirt. When alarms started blaring loudly outside. Natalia's frantic voice downstairs screaming out to me. The roller shutters locking into place on the top windows.
Racing downstairs, I see Natalia by the door, when suddenly I hear screaming, both of us slipping out the door before the shutter locked in place. Running down the driveway, the entire place was in chaos, rogues and warriors fighting everywhere. I watch as Trey and Tatum race from Tabitha’s house, shifting mid run. Natalia grabs my arm, trying to pull me toward the car when I shake her arm off before taking off down the driveway.
Layla growling in my head when I see her. Standing amongst the chaos was a dark-haired woman unbothered by what was going on around her as she slowly walked towards me, a cruel smile on her lips. I recognised her instantly as we locked eyes, Estella Damien’s mother.
Layla growled, but it escaped my lips, more of a roar making everyone freeze. Even the rogues froze, looking back at me. My claws extended and my canines protruded. I felt kind of strange as I half shifted, and I could feel Layla push forward with me. Never have I felt so enraged as I did in this moment seeing that smug bitch’s face.
Everyone around us resumed fighting, but she never took her eyes from me, and I her. It felt weird not shifting, that Layla didn’t force the shift, and it made me wonder why, yet I could feel she was comfortable in this weird form and it felt right, more natural. More in control.
Estella stopped walking, folding her arms across her chest, her eyes sparkling an odd shade of red that I had never seen in a werewolf before, fangs protruded from her gums and I watched claws slip from her nail beds.
“Where is Kade, your mate?” I ask. She smiles.
“Oh he is around, always watching”
“I figured he was too much of a coward to show himself, could never do his own work and sent others to do it for him. But I am glad he is watching, at least he will witness your death” I spit at her. Estella laughs.
“You really are unhinged, aren’t you? And what do you think Damien will do when he finds out you killed his mother?”
“He knows what you have done, Estella” I tell her as we circle each other.
“He may, but I am still his mother and deep down he has always been mummy’s boy. I see it going two ways. I kill you then he helps us take down the Blood Moon Pack and option two, you kill me, and Damien will never forgive you. Probably even kill you himself before his father takes over the pack and takes down the Blood Moon Pack. Either way Lily, you end up dead and Kade gets revenge,”
