Dare walked along the quarters slowly, not wanting to wake anyone, it was close to four a.m. and he didn't (well couldn't) sleep. Dayla was in his mind again. Her beautiful smile, her laughter, her playfulness gone…all because he –he froze hearing sound.

His wolf grinned, thankful for something to do to get his mind of his shame. Dare silently crept along the quarters until he could see someone standing in the entrance of the White Zone. His wolf hungered for combat, blood, sex, anything to keep him busy and unable to think. His claws threatened to come but then he saw the identity of the man who was standing in the entrance. Judd Lauren.

What in the world was he doing up this early? He stayed quiet and hidden as Judd looked around him, did he come to meet someone? No, mates didn't cheat on each other, it was impossible, beside Judd loved Bren, it was easy to see it once you took a closer look at when he looks at her, but then who or what did he come here to meet.

"Dare," Judd stated without turning, startling him. "You know it's considered rude to spy on people?"

A growl reverberated through his throat. "I wasn't exactly sure what you were engaging in." he answered.

"I'm not exactly sure why it`s any business of yours." Judd said turning to him.

"Suspicious activity." Dare fired through clenched teeth. That seemed to piss Judd off more than the spying did, but before either of them could get their fists out the pack alarm sounded.

They were off to the pack meeting place like rockets. They were there just as Riley, Brenna and Drew arrived, one by one all the lieutenants gathered around firing questions at Hawke as soon as he was in sight.

Hawke raised a hand and all got silent. "I don`t know how the alarm was triggered." He stated flat and angry.

A gasp and everyone turned to Indigo, who stated "The alarm stopped."

Eyes widened all around as they all realized the alarm had shut off without their notice.

"That alarm," Hawke gritted out. "As you all dam well know, is in my office and it is impossible to trigger it without me knowing. It was checked yesterday now someone better dam well explain to me how it went off!"

It was easy so see Hawke was beyond pissed and ready to rip someone apart.

"Hawke, none of us would touch that alarm! Even the juveniles are scared crapless that you`ll tear off their hand if they even go near—"

She was interrupted by the shrill of a phone. Hawke, looking surprised, picked his phone out of his pocket and out it to his ear. "Hello?" he answered, knowing that his lieutenants had such amazing hearing that they could easily hear the whole conversation.

"Did you evacuate the children?" answered a female voice. "I activated that alarm for a reason."

Silence for a moment around his circle then all gazes directed at him. He felt uneasy talking to an unknown female but for some reason he had a feeling or instinct that she really was telling the truth. "Why would we evacuate our children?" he asked the unknown female.

"Tonight," the female started after a slight pause." There will be a tk raid trying to see how they can destroy you and DarkRiver`s numbers and strength so they`re planning to take your children your young."

Again silence but it was almost immediately followed by gasps and exclamations like "Oh my gawd!" and every four letter word in the swear book.

Riley narrowed his eyes and asked "How do we know we can trust her? She may be one of them!"

"You don`t." the unknown female answered. "I`m trying to save your pack, but if you chose not to listen my information that's on you, not on me."

The answer was obviously nothing of what Riley had anticipated because he grew quiet and paled slightly before his eyes slid to Hawke showing him that he`d leave the decision to him.

"I say what the hell." Dare chimed in, at least the kids will think of it as an adventure and plus if they come we`ll get to get our revenge and maybe some info finally." Dare looked honestly ready to kick some butt.

And so slowly the lieutenants all agreed with Dare. "All right." Hawke said. "Let`s get all of the children into the evacuation cellars."

"One question." Drew Kincaid said stepping over and carefully extracting the phone from Hawke`s grip. "Why are you doing this for us?" he asked the female.

"Because I owe you." She answered. "And if the Laurens or Sascha Duncan are listening tell them that we`re even." Then she hung up. All eyes went to Judd who was as always expressionless. He shook his head, telling them he had no idea what the female was talking about.

Hawke made a mental note to ask the rest of the Laurens and Sascha about this female.

That night, with soldiers placed at every child`s place, the SnowDancers were ready, so when a quadrant of unsuspecting Psy sporting tranquilizer guns and blades teleported into the equation, they were ready. The Psy didn't stand a chance. A few managed to teleport and flee but the rest were either killed or taken captive. It was a victory belonging totally to the SnowDancers.

And Cascada watched them rejoice she felt something in her stomach spread, a warm emotion….pride. She reveled in it…just this one time. Then tomorrow she`d return to her old emotionless self, into the destructive machine she knew she was.
