Immediately, Hallon reached out and grabbed my hand, saying, "Let's not panic. " He then led me to my father's side and inquired, "How many are there?" How far is it?" I watched in horror as we screamed, the men surrounded the ladies and children, and I checked on everyone to make sure they were okay before realizing that Father's help didn't have time to answer as he spewed up blood and collapsed to the ground. They've finally got us, man. As he changed into his gray wolf form, Hallon told the young warriors, "Go to your father, I'll protect the borders." Hallon then vanished with the other pack fighters. What I dreaded most happening tonight has arrived, and it's time to fight. We don't even get a day off. But, I cut in, "Hallon-" Not a but. I look forward to working with you. He leaned down for a kiss on the nose and added, "We have to protect our soon-to-be pack." Alright, so be sure to return, and I replied, "Promise?"" He scratched my head and laughed, "Of course, I'm strong enough." Only Hallon could keep his cool under pressure like that; I don't know how he does it. "Dad!Despite knowing the answer already, I called for my father. He stood behind me, having changed into his black fur, and gave me a mournful look before saying, "Protect everyone in my stead." I blinked, realizing what he was getting at, and said, "No, dad, I'm not going to let them attack us." Let's just send the weak packing. Trust me with this!" Following his instructions, I led the women and children to our hiding area." I took a second glance around our home, where we had made so many memories in such a short amount of time. Despite all of our moving around and changing addresses, this had always felt like the safest place. Will we all perish?beautiful playmate Lily asked. To reassure her—and myself—I let out a sigh and planted a kiss on her forehead. "No, my dad is there to protect us, now hide until we win, okay?"" I returned to my father, who was still fighting, after making sure they were all right, but he only stared at me. "What brought you back here? The kids have no one to turn to for help!" I said, "I'll help here," and I eliminated one foe. The scent told me it was the alpha twins, back to sow chaos. One of the twins said, "Surrender now, rogue leader." I clenched my teeth. Damn this twin. They know nothing except to kill. I heard the Midnight pack is nothing but vicious, and seeing how close they are to eradicating my entire family gives me the creeps. We all paused to listen as one of the twins accused us of stealing their family's food supply for a year. To paraphrase, "I mean, no hard feelings, but we're only taking back what's ours." We were looking for your money, criminal kingpin. If...you can hand over your daughter, then we can leave. I gritted my teeth and made my way to the front, declaring, "She's beautiful enough." Is this your soul mate?"" they questioned, holding Hallon's misshapen head in their arms as I gasped. I choked back tears as I thought about how they had just murdered my soul mate. Hallon, goodness, it seems like only yesterday that we were joking about and having a nice time. You....Why did you kill him?! All I could see was red. Because of my crazy wolf, I'm struggling for my sanity. My wolf was waging conflicts inside, and I was trembling with rage. Just desserts for the one who stole our food. I was going to launch an immediate attack on them if my father hadn't pulled me back with the command, "Leave here." I argued back, "No, they killed Hallon!" I saw rage in his eyes, but he swallowed it and said, "Just leave!" After looking at the twins, I yelled, "No, you surrender!" The identical twins poked fun of me, saying, "She's fierce. I like that." My father yelled, "Bethel, get back here!" and I obeyed. He then stood in front of us and said, "I will not let you get my daughter or any of my members." The identical twin responded, "I know you, you're the former beta of Alpha Rufus from the Shadow pack." "Why did you decide to leave?" My dad didn't even say anything before asking calmly, "What do you want exactly?" The couple shrugged and said, "Well, we finished our payment. Now, we'll avenge what you've done." My dad got it right away, looked stunned, and let out a sigh of relief. Let's find another approach to resolve this. We waited for years, and now we don't want to wait any longer." I turned to him and asked, "Dad, what did you do to them?" My father groaned and said, "I-It's a long story, dear. Whatever will happen, please take care of the pack." "Dad, no-" My dad had been on high alert, waiting to pick up the twins. Both of them tried to kill my dad. My father successfully attached himself to one twin and bit the other. The twin said, "You're old, but I must admit, you've got the energy." My father was prostrate on the ground from fighting until they stopped. With a gasp, I ran to his body and sobbed. The two little ones merely glanced at me as I yelled. I must exact revenge for their murders! I clinched my teeth and said under my breath, "You killed my father and my mate." I must control my temper. My father abandoned us, leaving me in charge of the pack after he died. Without the leader, I can see what they have in mind. Getting rid of us completely and leaving no survivors. I have to set aside my emotions and figure out clearly how to save the rest of them. I dried my eyes and made a decision in my thoughts. My pack heaved in surprise as I muttered, "Take me then," out loud. The speaker said, "Bethel, you can't-" I paid them no mind. "But in exchange, you must protect the lives of my pack." One of them c****d an eyebrow at my proposal, showing his interest. Good. The results of my plan have been positive so far. I need to hook them. "And what can you offer?" one of them questioned. I took a long breath in and let it out slowly, "Anything." I needed help badly. utterly desparate. I'm doing what I can to save the lives of those I care about. I am the answer you've been looking for. I shall also seek revenge for the deaths of my father and Hallon. I will make sure they died for something worthwhile. Saying, "Anything? Are you sure about that?" I gave my assent without so much as glancing at the other incensed wolves in the pack. The identicals snatched my hand and giggled, "That will be lovely; you'll be our slave then." As soon as they made contact with me, I went into action. At first, I was going to try to strike by biting off their hand, but then I shuddered when their hands touched mine. They looked at each other in disbelief and signaled. One of the twins said, "You're our mate?" with astonishment. They both gave me the "No way, a rogue's daughter?" look. They grabbed me and attempted to investigate further, but they let go as their eyes widened, their palms began to sweat, and their hearts began to race. With a gasp, I said. It can't be denied. My friends... My strategy to assault them was thwarted. Why will this occur? When did Hallon become my mate? Where have these two nefarious siblings gone?
