Asu P.O.V
As we chased after Anna I noticed from the corner of my eye that Kim was struggling with her dress
"you can rip it off you want" I suggested to her right what was important was to get to Anna
" Is not that, mom showed us how to fight with tighter dresses remember" she smirks " What's bothering me is that both you and she are mated to the royals and we will one day have to separate"
that stung my heart we haven't been far from each other since she came into my life " we might not" remembering how but he was with my rejection to his hug
"b***h you are luna and queen of the werewolves!" she gave a 'are you stupid' face
" he will reject me," I said bluntly it hurt a bit to say those words but I knew they were true Celene was silent " I will never reveal that I have a wolf, to him I am a mere human, one that the council will not approve off"
she gritted her teeth " that bastard does look like that kind of a jackass, but then again if it's up to council well I think you will be getting their okay"
I sighed and kept my eyes fixed on Anna ignoring her last comment " Right now she will need us, I don't know but that Jason guy doesn't look like he will leave her just like that"
"you saw him too? he looked like hell when she ran away" Kim revealed to me
"He did?" I questioned almost making me stop surprise " you know how she feels about a vampire and a wolf, that they don't mix"
she sighed "ANNA!!"
it was until she heard Kim and saw no one else following us she stopped right in front of the waterfall and began to shake we stopped letting go of my dress I walked and stood next to her in silence letting her cry as Kima and I watched the water ahead without saying a word, Kim she let her sister sob out her pain all we could do was silently suffer her agony as well.
"How can a wolf and a vampire even co-exist together?" she hissed as angry tears rolled down her face " with just one mistake... he could die of poison from my fangs!"
she fell to her knees and sobbed we follow suit " what if it doesn't work out!"
"then it just doesn't " Kim's voice was firm but I could see how much it was costing her to speak, Anna stopped and looked at her " but that will only mean that you both at least try, how can you say you won't work if you don't put any effort on it right now you are imagining it and crying over a fact that hasn't even happen do you know what he feels? did you even give him the chance to say something?"
"No" her lip quiver
" you say a vampire and wolf can't be together but then why did the moon goddess pair you both like that do you believe she made a mistake? to me, it seems like she made hope" I look at her and smile warmly at her fragile figure she was vulnerable as she looked at me it hasn't been long since she healed " hope for a change how many haven't felt like you and run away from it breaking away from the bond because they are too scared to see the unknown and how the hell do you know you will kill him? You are not that careless to mistakenly sink your fangs into him even if you decide to mate with him there are possible ways to keep him from dying, Kim is right you never gave the poor guy a chance to say I accept you or to say I reject you, the Anna that we know doesn't run away from anything"
she sniffed our words settling in her, eyes began to shine again.
" if he does reject you then oh well you gave yourself I chance to hear him out and don't worry you can always bit the s**t out of him and move the f**k on" Kim shrugged and lovingly wiped away the tears of her sister making her chuckle a bit
" Whatever happens at least you will have it clear that you gave it face and you were there to try will it hurt most likely from what I saw in George you will I don't know how it will affect vampires though it could be less, with him it was different he isn't well due to the poor choice's he made, you, on the other hand, are much different than that moron you have us and we will be there to mend you through the whole process but that is huge IF don't make assumptions before you even give up on hope"
her pain was lessening and was been replaced with a slight bud of hope.
" Sometimes words can pierce more than knives and arrows" she frowned " so be careful on how you speak to him, if you decide to reject him that is"
"Anna" Kim spoke" now get up and wipe the tears that don't suit that pretty face of yours come" Kim got up and held her hand to Anna " is time to face it sister"
Anna looked at us and I smiled getting up, holding my hand for her as well she laughed lightly the sound made us relax she was returning and grabbed both our hands " thank you sister"
Kim looked stunned and I was left in awe
"f*****g pinch me Asu" Kim managed to say with an echoey voice
I abide by her request feeling like a dream myself
"HOLY MOTHER OF NATURE" Kim yelled and rubbed the place I twisted "f**k that HURT!"
Anna laughed and hugged Kim "Thank you"
Kim's eyes began to water she was bliss but the pain of separation was lingering with sadness that godmother wasn't here to witness this moment I crossed my arms when a mind-link hit me it was from dad
" even if she is human she is my mate and even if the court doesn't accept her they'll have to no one is above the royal family, not even that stupid court, she is a precious gift that the moon goddess has given me and I will not lose her for prejudice I will give anyone hell if they, even so, touch one hair on her head they won't live to see another day" He spoke using his alpha voice he looked ready to fight my dad and brother " I will protect her with my life"
I stumble surprise this was more than a mind-link this was... I could see what dad was showing me so vividly his eyes shifted to Jason and I quickly open my link to the girls feeling them tense up at what was happening
" and you Jason?"
" it doesn't matter to me if she is a vampire if I have to fight for her to stay with me I will do so she is my mate and I will not lose her to anyone even she chooses to stay away from me I will chase after her every time" through dad's eyes I could feel both their sincerity the link was cut off
they look at me speechless, two things we were for sure one was that this was something new to us we never imagine we could do this, we needed to figure out how to do that again, two our mates loved us and accept us for who we are they are willing to go to war with our pack to have us by their sides something in me moved, Celene even though she wasn't happy about been mated to royal alpha and who was silent was feeling immense relief at his reassuring words and slight happiness although her tail was wagging.
"They want us" she gasped in utter shock and relief in her words
Anna's face was streaming with new tears and a warm smile played on her lips "Come-"
A chilling sensation ran down my spine our bodies tense up at the smell of repugnant death and dirt lurked " Rogues"
"We need to run!" Kim grabbed my hand urging me
"We can't" It was too late they already had their eyes locked on us their malicious intent was contaminating the air around us
"We're surrounded " Anna spoke coldly her weak state was completely erased as she grabbed my other hand
"Diego will be here soon" Kim pulled us back slowly trying to retreat
"My, my what do we have here" the young boy snarled our eyes snap to the emerging figure, his hair was tangled and dirty, he was not only covered in dirt but dried blood his shorts completely shredded, his eyes linger greedily to us and a creepy smirk cross his face " A vampire and a witch who " he squinted and sniff " judging by the smell is also the mate of Alpha Diego," he sniffed once more resting his eyes on me "a wolfless girl"
there was laughter and his sickening gaze stayed on me " my what a prize"
"What right do you have to enter the Shadow pack?" I questioned
" The same right I have to take you three with me " he licked his lower lip " but what of it? who are you to question me!"
A warning hiss escape Anna, Celene bared her fangs at him
I was already pissed "right? I have all the rights you fucker" growls erupt from his side, Good I was happy that made them piss " I am the daughter of Alpha Mathew and younger sister of Alpha Diego"
his eyes widen " You can't possibly-" his eyes widen at my words but compose himself yet his pack weren't that fast some gave each other a questioning look while others became even tenser " it seems we didn't only cat a silly human girl but a prize"
Kim pulled me back my eyes still on him "leave this territory at once or face the consequences my brother doesn't like spilling our blood leave while we are been nice"
"Your bother is known to be the cruelest alpha next to the prince himself how exactly doesn't he like spilling our blood?" he questioned
"he only does so when needed" Kim, came into his defense "when people like you enter his territory only;y to destroy it"
"he laughed and his crew follows " Listen here little girl we do not care who you are or who you are related to or what reasons are behind his actions we only came because we are looking for someone but since we can't find them and you three happen to be here" he licked his disgusting dried lips " my fellas here have been having a rough time lately and you three seem perfect to relief that stress don't you think?"
they all snicker, I tighten my hold on the both of them " Go and call Diego here immediately"
they look at me like I had lost my mind " what the actual f**k are you saying?" Anna hissed
"killing them is easy just go" I repeated
they stood their ground and I gritted my teeth they won't leave and I couldn't risk using my powers here not when the pack is near " Anna create a line of fire big enough for us to escape Kimadd some fuel to the fire with your wind on the count of three"
"yes"
"one"
"two"
"THREE!"
Anna enlighted the forest with a stomp of her feet making a trail of fire that burned their feet
"f**k SHE IS A FIRE USER!"
"You dare trespass our lands and for that, you will pay" Kim used her Luna voice as the wind picked up sending some of them back as the flames burned higher making a wall between us but they were too many that were emerging from the shadows we turned on our heel and began to run as my vision began to get blurry I really needed to get sued to this damn contacts
"Hold on Asu," Kim said feeling my discomfort
but before we could get any further one of the rouges lounge at us separating us Anna and Kim quickly got up and came running to me we were surrounded as snarls and growls enclosed on us we had no choice now but to engage in battle as long as a brother can come as quickly as possible so that I won't be forced to use Celene...
" I hope you realize that you just signed your death with this," I said not looking at him
" you expect them to be able to fight my pack? they may be a witch and a vampire but they are not enough for my men"
Kim pull me back her eyes sharp
"make sure not to hurt that one she may be human but she does have some value " his voice was greedy and disgusting I look at him and his voice match his eyes
" I may be a witch but I am not fragile nor weak I won't let you nor your pack of mutts trespass any further than this and harm any of my pack members as the Luna of this pack I will protect it and I will protect what my mate holds dear so do not think about touching a hair on her head because that will be the last thing you do we gave you a chance but you fail to take it, prepare for the consequences then"
I look at Anna who was looking at her sister with awe, Kim has always been straightforward and stubborn she may act like a child at times but now I can't seem to see that in her this is a new side of her, Kim she changes she is...
My train of thought was cut short when another wolf tried to attack I pushed Anna out of the way and pull kim with me falling in the process and tumbling a bit I scanned the area for a sharp object grabbing a sharp branch that was near me breaking it in half it was sturdy enough to pentreate flesh I glanced to my side and saw a wolf charging towards me I waited for the right time to attack when he was close enough I slide to the right and pierced his side with both of them he wailed in pain using this moment I jump on top him using the branches as handles pulling them off him he whimpers and growled as blood ooze out of him sensing me on top of him he shook violently but that only fasten his death time I look over at his alph twirling one branch stabbing him with enough force that broke through his skull his whimpers and wails came to an end, the apha's eyes were blazing at the sight of his pack member flopping down lifeless, my strenght wouldn't cause a problem I may smell human to them but I do have alpha blood in me
"YOU b***h!" he yelled "GET HER TO ME!!"
I smirk " we did give you a warning" I grab the dead wolf's body and threw it to the one's who were charging towards me hearing loud cracks and whimpers from them
" make sure to get out of this unscathed!" I order them if something were to happen to Kim my brother will... I clench my fist,
"Yes!" they both yelled as the fight commence.

Alpha Harry P.O.V
"Not so fast Harry" Diego stopped me his eyes blazing as he watched me
" I do not have time for this Diego I need to go after my mate " I brush his hand off me but he placed it on my shoulder
" do I have to remind you that she is my sister" he pressed
"who is my mate, your future Luna" I spoke through my teeth
" she is not your MATE!" the one name George yelled
I turn to him angrily and punch him right on the mouth he grunted and fell back " Jason let's go" I roared
sensing no movement from him I turn to see him and saw his eyes lost and hurt " Jason?" my annoyance and anger still in my voice.
" Don't bother he is hurting the one who ran was his mate" Diego pointed out
I look at him in shock " the vampire?"
" Your highness, you may be my alpha but that vampire you speak of is my mate I do ask for you to please respect her " he threatened
Apollo wasn't happy about this he was treating his alpha and that was intolerable "calm down Apollo or you make matters worse he is whurt just like you and me" he huffed angrily " I mean no harm in my words Jason there is no need for your threat"
his eyes flashed guilt but his eyes widen and I sensed George getting ready to punch me I move to my side and made him stumble " f**k!" I was getting tired of this s**t if it wasn't because Will was here I would have already killed this damn bastard
" listen mutt I do not kill you because you are part of Diego's pack but do not press me I am in no mood to deal with you!" I growled and he glared at me getting up wiping away the blood from the previous punch.
" Asu is my mate!" there was pain with anger in his voice his eyes were full of hatred and longing.
"YOU LITTLE-
"ENOUGH!" Alpha Mathew stepped in between us
" you stopped been her mate the moment you rejected her!" Diego spat back angrily " she is no mate of yours!"
I froze in place trembling with anger Apollo growling ferociously at him my eyes blacken " he what?"
" Diego I did wrong it was a mistake-
" A mistake that is done and there is no turning back she is mated to me now you decided to reject the precious gift that the moon goddess bestowed you but I won't be that stupid to do that, only a fool does that, get it straight into your thick head that she is my mate now and that you weren't worthy of her but I will whether her family stands between us or not she is my mate and belongs at my side!" I yelled my possessiveness coming to the surface, " drill in into that empty head of yours before I snap your neck mutt!"
" that-"
" George I warn you before to stay away from my daughter but you disobey my words, again and again, you want to stomp on her happiness again? you decided to reject the blessing given to you and now that she was given a second chance you wish to stomp on it as well? it matters not whether you like it or not but is not up to you is up to her to decide" he turned to me " Harry you can relax no one will prevent you from talking to your mate there is no need to be defenseless"
My eyes widen and Apollo relax " then?"
"then it is up to my daughter, not us" his eyes sadden
"dad you don't plan to let her go" Diego frowned pain evident in his words and face " she can't go..."
" Diego I consider you more than a friend you are like a brother to me, I am aware that she is your sister and it might be hard for you to come to terms that you are going to separate from her but she is my mate for my mate I will fight even it means fighting you " I growled and his beta and gamma took his sides while Jason took mine my warriors ready for a fight " she belongs next to me I am sure you understand that" I remember seeing his mark on the witch his eyes tighten at my words and saw his jaw clench.
" Diego" his father called out to him and shook his head he looked away angrily " Alpha Harry I do not wish to bring this to a fight my daughter and Anna won't be thrilled with us if we end up killing their mates' "
growls erupted from the woods at his threat towards me my guards were fully ready for my command they will fight not only to protect me but to take their luna home where she belongs" is that a threat Alpha?" Jason tense up I knew he was controlling his wolf.
he shook his head and gave me a sad smile " no, child it is not"
I didn't relax there was something in his eyes and something hidden in his words " then?"
" tell me what will happen if your council rejects her?" I was about to speak but he stopped me lifting his hand to me as he looked up to the sky " or we try to stop you from taking her? will you think the same way and feel the same way towards her knowing that evil is lurking around us preparing itself to reap her from your side and us as well? Tell me Harry will you try your best to protect my daughter the last thing that Penelope left me with your life? even if it may lead to war?" his eyes shifted to me no trace of life in them only darkness and hatred, he wasn't joking.
I stood my ground facing him properly " even if she is human she is my mate and even if the court doesn't accept her they'll have to no one is above the royal family, not even that stupid court, she is a precious gift that the moon goddess has given me and I will not lose her for prejudice I will give anyone hell if they, even so, touch one hair on her head they won't live to see another day" I spoke firmly using my alpha voice " I will protect her with my life"
" and you Jason?" he turned to Jason the same emptiness in his eyes but something seemed odd
" it doesn't matter to me if she is a vampire if I have to fight for her to stay with me I will do so she is my mate and I will not lose her to anyone even she chooses to stay away from me I will chase after her every time" Jason stood tall and proud confidence radiating off him
" whether this darkness you speak off is literal or not I will fight even if I must go to war for her safety nothing matter's more to me than her life her existence is my motor in this life I will protect her not only because she is something precious, Aunt Penelope left but because she is my meaning to breathe I won't let anyone take that away" Apollo nodded his head baring his fangs out he agreed with my statement the moment our eyes met she became my everything
"our everything Harry, she is someone special not only to us but to this world she is someone we need to protect and prepare for what is coming " Apollo spoke but before I could ask the meaning of his words he quickly faded
" THIS IS BULLSHIT!" George yelled
"Alright, that is it!" I yelled getting ready to fight him but was beat by Diego who grabbed him by the collar of his shirt
" I have about enough out of-" his eyes clouded and his fist tightens his hold on his collar leaking out a menacing growl alerting us
"NO!" He yelled dropping him to the floor and turning to face the direction where my angel vanished the worst thought came into mind my heart began to beat erratically
"Son?" Alpha Mathew looked at me mirroring my pain as he looked at Diego
"Rogues have been spotted" my heart drop please don't say it, please " and are heading to where the girls are!"
Ice my blood turned to ice NO!
" WHAT?!"
His eyes clouded no doubt he was giving his orders
" All guards be ready to join this fight your Luna is in danger kill any rogue you see insight do not let any harm come near her protect her at all cost do you hear me!"
"YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!"
Diego looked at me and nodded giving me a hard stare but there was no time to lose we shifted in midair and ran as fast as we could please moon goddess protect my love please do not let anything ha[pen to her, Asu, my anger wait for me I coming! please just be safe!
