As soon as Asher and I went inside, I put my things down on the table and I started making something to
eat.
Asher was standing to the back of the kitchen watching everything that I was doing, but I didn’t turn back
to look at him.
He knew that there was something weighing on my mind and he knew that I was worried about the whole situation, but I didn’t want to talk about it. I wanted to ignore it. I wanted to forget about it.
Not that they were ever going to let me forget about them.
The sirens started going off and I spun around to look at Asher. He was mind linking with someone and he looked straight up to look at me.
“Where?” I asked.
“They’re attacking the main entrance. Rogues.” He said.
“How many?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Guards are on their way here. I have to go.” He said.
“I know.” I said. So he kissed me and headed for the door.
“Don’t go outside. Stay in here and the guard will make sure that no one gets in.” He said rushing out the
door.
I walked around and I checked all the doors and windows downstairs, but just as I was about to go
upstairs I heard the floorboards creak.
I stopped where I was, knowing that there shouldn’t be anyone upstairs. The guards aren’t here yet, so no
one could be upstairs.
I tried to mind link Asher but I couldn’t get through. He was mind linking the warriors that were fighting, so
I couldn’t talk to him.
I backed away from the stairs and I was looking around the bottom floor of the house as I heard the
person upstairs start to walk down the stairs.
I knew that it couldn’t be my parents or Spencer. They wouldn’t have been able to get over the border.
I backed into the kitchen and I grabbed the biggest knife that I could find when the person finally reached
the bottom of the stairs.
They were walking deliberately slow and wanting to scare me. But as soon as they turned the corner to the
kitchen, I froze.
“Nicole.” I said.

“Surprise.” She smirked.
“What the f**k?” I asked.
“Did you really think I was going to sit back and let you be the new Luna of the pack?” She asked
“Do you really think Asher is going to let you live knowing that you tried to hurt me?” I asked,
“Asher’s never going to know.” She said.
“You really don’t know us that well, do you?” I asked.
“I know a lot more than you think I do. I know that you got your family banished for no reason. You lied about them and they now have nothing.” She said.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about.” I said.
“You are a lying b***h. And you’re going to pay for everything that you’ve done to your family. To Spencer.”
She said.
As soon as she mentioned Spencer, things finally clicked into place and I started laughing.
“You and Spencer? Really?” I asked.
“Yeah. I know who Spencer is and everything you said about him is bullshit. He would never treat anyone
like that. And those abortions, that’s bullshit.” She said.
“If you say so.” I said.
“You’re not even going to defend yourself?” She asked.
“Of course not. Why would I do that? I know the truth. You weren’t there. I don’t need to explain myself to
you.” I said.
“Well, since I’ve got the upper hand here, you do need to explain yourself.” She said.
“And how do you have the upper hand? It’s you against me. And I have a knife.” I said.
The door then opened and two warriors walked inside and I watched them very carefully as they nodded
at Nicole and then stood behind her.
I recognised these warriors. They both went to school with Spencer. They were his friends. So they
believed him over me.
That didn’t surprise me.
“You’re screwed. And Spencer is going to deal with you himself.” Nicole said.
I put my head down and slumped my shoulders as I started shaking my head.
One of the warriors started approaching me and I couldn’t fight. I knew that I wouldn’t win in a fight against these people.
So as soon as he was standing in front of me, he grabbed my arm and I raised my other arm really quickly

and stabbed him in the stomach and drew the knife upwards.

I knew that it wouldn’t kill him, but he dropped to the ground and it was going to take him a while to heal.
The other warrior lunged at me and pinned me against the counter behind me, grabbing my wrist and slamming in on the counter top until I dropped the knife.
He growled in my face as he had his hand around my neck.
I was finding it harder and harder to breathe before I finally raised my knee as hard as I could and I kneed him in the groin.
He let go of my neck and I slumped forward, coughing, trying to catch my breath.
Nicole was yelling at the warriors and I managed to grab another knife, a smaller one and I stabbed the warrior in the back and I left the knife in there.
I ran out of the kitchen but Nicole grabbed me by the hair and rammed my head into the doorframe.
I’d never been trained before, I didn’t know how to fight against werewolves. So I wasn’t a match for any of these bastards.
Nicole managed to knee me in the stomach and then knee me in the face and I fell back on the floor.
I saw her walking towards me as I was rolling on the ground trying to get up, but she lunged at me again and forced me to stay where I was.
She forced her foot on my chest so I couldn’t move and I tried to push her off of me, but that didn’t work. I wasn’t strong enough.
My claws extended and I slashed her across the calf of the leg, causing her to growl in pain but she still didn’t move her leg.
“If you had any idea how much I want to kill you…” She growled.
“Then what are you waiting for?” I asked.
“Becuase they want you alive. They are going to make you pay so much more than I ever could.” She said.
I suddenly felt the fear radiating through me. How the hell are they going to get to me? How is Nicole going to get me to them if there are warriors patrolling the whole border? It was almost impossible. But I knew that she wouldn’t have attacked me now if they didn’t have a plan.
Suddenly the door slammed open, catching Nicole by surprise and Gage ran in and tackled her to the ground forcing her away from me.
Gage knocked Nicole out cold and he ran over and helped me up off the floor before he looked around at the people in my house.
“What the f**k? These two?” Gage asked.
“They were friends with Spencer.” I said.
< CHAPTER 40
“We trusted them. We cleared them as the traitors.” Gage said.
“Well, they were better than you thought.” I said.
“Obviously.” He said.
+25 Points
Gage managed to subdue Nicole and the two warriors who were still alive but needed medical attention.
They weren’t going to get medical attention, because they would heal. It was just going to take a while.
Gage seemed impressed by the damage that I was able to do to them on my own. But I wasn’t in the
mood for anyone’s congratulations.
I looked at both of those assholes before I turned to look at Nicole.
I couldn’t help but wonder what the hell this was going to do to Arlo. He really loved Nicole. But she was in love with Spencer and she was helping him the whole time. She was a traitor and she was going to pay the ultimate price for that.
Not long after we managed to subdue them all with the wolfsbane that Gage brought with him, Asher came running through the door.
“The guards never got here.” I said.
“I just found them as I was running through the woods.” He said.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“These assholes killed them before they ever made it to the house.” Asher said. And I looked at him
shocked.
“How many?” I asked.
“6. They were killed one by one.” He said.
Six men were killed because they were sent here to protect me. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have
been killed.
Asher looked at me and the look on my face, knowing instantly that I was horrified and guilt ridden by their
deaths.
He pulled me into his arms, trying to reassure me that it wasn’t my fault.
