Bella POV I take a frantic look around. I don’t see Alex, but my wolf tells me he is here. Where is he? Is he the one who is injured? Wolves come rushing from all directions to the yard, and I follow them blindly. The sky above is dark, promising thunder. Then I see where they are all going. A few men were injured, and I recognized Kyle and Jeremy among them. Where is Alex, where is he…. My mind is racing, the question repeating like a prayer in my head. I stand in the middle of the commotion. “Quick!” someone shouts, “we have to get them inside. “ Claire runs past me, and I manage to catch her by the sleeve. “What is going on?” I ask, but I know the answer before she speaks the words out loud. “It was an ambush. Some of ours are injured.” “Alex?” “ Alex is injured as well.
