++++++Nico's POV++++++

The room grew silently colder by the minute. My exposed skin rose to goosebumbs. I shivered, forced to slip under the blankets. Remus has left the chamber already. The room is finely furnished, lacking nothing of any sort...except maybe kindness. I can't believe what I've heard. 'Is this true...dad? What about mom? Did she know? He's horrible! Remus...he's a murderer and fucked up phyco rapist.' I bit my lip. My body trembled. Something like this...is too much to be real. This has to be the sickest joke fate has ever played! I clenched my fist till my knuckles were white. 'Dad, why have you come? He'll rape you!' I shut my eyes closed. 'Dad please be okay...' They must've come to rescue me. If the Alpha and he is here then so maybe is Conall. 'Oh...Conall...what have I done?' Guilt and shame overcome me. 'It wasn't my choice! I had too!' I reasoned to myself. "Damnit..." I hissed. The woman snapped her head to the side to see something not truly there. But never really at me. I wonder if she's crossed eyes...but that can't be. Maybe lazy eyed?

I stared at the woman who was left to guard me. She was the poor woman a while ago, the one who was forced on her knees and had serviced the sick bastard. I tried speaking to her countless of times but she never even glanced towards my direction. She just stood there...frozen to bid as was ordered. Her gaze blank. "Hey!" I said to her. "Hello?" I spoke again. I kept insisting a conversation...persistently trying to get her attention. Not once did she make any sort of motion. She just stood vacant, unaware. I felt as if I didn't exist, a ghost. I tried one more time.

"Umm...hello? Miss...I...I just want to know what's going on around here. You said Lloyd and his sister have escaped? How? And what about Leo and his mate...do you know what happened to them?" I questioned her, searching for any sign of glance, even a breath. "Master Lloyd has escaped successfully through willing sources. Many people here wish the young master's well-being so is his sister." She paused, smacking her lips as if she was tasting her own words. "Leo has been punished for disobeying an order from our Master, our Alpha, along with his mate, Reika. Their punishment has been dealt with; therefore they must be in the special room about now." She closed her mouth - - - tilting her head sideways as if listening to an invisible command. "Is there something wrong?" I asked her. She didn't reply. I waved my hands at her. She's like a machine...a wound up puppet.

"A while ago...Remus mentioned something like Leo being his son...is that true? But Lloyd and his sister are his children too... How is that?" I asked. I have a bitter assumption but I want to know exactly. She tilted her head yet again. She blinked her eyes, her stare landing on me. "Master Lloyd is Master's lawful child, so is his sister, Lydia. Leo is...Master's foster child...but both of flesh and blood." She paused, her head snapping to the side. The woman creeps me out. She looks without seeing. "Master Lloyd is truly blessed. He's been raised more kindly than anyone here can ever dream of...or think of. Though he gets punished and goes through hard work...compared to others, he's living rather easily, comfortable." She almost seemed to smile. "But...he's been brought up well hasn't he? He's a fine good man now. His mother will be proud."

There was a moment of silence but I didn't dare break it. "Leo on the other hand...poor child...he's been living very badly. Just like us, he toils away, breaking day by day. Maybe much more cruel but if you look at it another way, maybe not. The world he knows is only what's in front of him right now. He hasn't in his life felt...warmth and kindness. But maybe that's how his been cooping so well, because he hasn't felt compassion yet. Such innocent feelings here will only betray you to your own down fall." The woman finally looked at me, her eyes showing a glint of life...a glint of memory. "Leo's mother was my sister. That's right." She spoke as if unsure of a distant memory.

"Master had taken her and had impregnated her. She had Leo,wrong choice of name if you ask me. What wolf on their right bark, name their pup a cat's name? She protected that boy to her last breath. She tried all she could for the small boy. Master was angry. Finally one day, when Leo has just barely been on proper age, 12, I think, Master started noticing him. His mother tried to cast his eyes elsewhere but she couldn't do no good. In trying to protect her son, she was dealt with a brutal punishment. She was put into torture, she was near death. No. She was already dead. Her pain was evident that's its slowly killing her. We had no other choice, we had her killed. The sad thing was, she died by Leo's own hands. He did the right thing, however the poor boy lost his mind. He was so sad...so very very hurt. He was never the same since. Remus didn't help either. Such a young age but Leo has already lost the innocence her mother tried to protect. The damned man, Remus...should've died..." Her eyes widen. She talked as if little by little she's regaining herself but...her eyes grew so ever cold once again. And this time stronger and more withdrawn.

"I've talked too much." She spoke. Her mouth was zipped tight. Her expression grim and vacant. "Can you please at least tell me you name?" I asked just one more time. "...I don't have a name. Master calls me whatever he pleases. But...yes...it's very distant...like a dream I used to have. I think he called me Joli. Yes...he sounded very sweet." Her voice was in a monotone pitch. As I watched her, I felt as if every last energy and memory of any sort was being drained out of her. It's like a motor slowly dying down. "Joli, thank you." I whispered. She smiled but...I think she's gone. I don't think I'll ever see anything close to remembering anything from her again, nor did I ever see her again. A man came and took me away to another room, I, still a naked body, bare and unclothed. The man scanned me...hungrily, licking his lips. "Where are we going?" I asked quietly. "Where else?" He replied. I looked at him blankly. 'You got to be kidding me!?' I thought miserable to myself.

We came upon a huge metal designed thick gate of a door. "I've got another one! Master wants him to go to the special service room." The steel door creaked hideously. He pushed me in. "You're not coming?" I spoke. "I wish I can pup, but unfortunately my cock isn't meant to touch a special service. If I could I would love to rape that pretty ass of yours but...rules are rules." He winked at me, showing a bump in his pants. "Sorry for asking." I bit through my teeth.

I walked inside timidly. The room was warm and slightly humid. The walls were white and bare. There were candles flickering everywhere as the only available light source of the spacious quarter. There were blankets here and there on the floor. There were also mattresses scattered. I heard a pair of engrossed moans and breathing. It echoed all over the walls. I gulped. 'This room...it's a sex room isn't it? Possibly contained with his other toys of slaves, I answered to myself.' I saw a woman on one of the mattresses. Her legs were wide open and a huge vibrating device occupied her womanly hole. She was tied in chains. Her body moved in a strange motion, trying to squirm the vibrating dildo deeper into her uterus. I looked away instantly. A large and thick amount of sweet aroma filled the room. It was overwhelming and dizzying. I had covered myself with a blanket that lay abandoned on the ground. There were other people in or another situation than the woman before. Some grouped together and started a cuming party while some kept to themselves and fucked their own partner.

As I got deeper into the room, the heavier the sex and need. There was a scent that kept lingering in my nostrils. I tried to cover up my nose but it is of no use. My heart thumped wildly. My lower section throbbed with a painful sensation. I scrambled to the far end of the corner and hid away there. No one pays attention to anyone around here. They just minded to their own sexual organs. I closed my eyes tightly, biting my lower lip in hopes to have my thing subdued. I took a deep breath to have myself calmed down but that was most likely a wrong decision. I caught whiff of a strong sweet perfume. My innocent dick sprang up so readily. I grunted in frustration. "Hora, hora...oi...princess, try not to molest the ground so much. Your rubbing onto the poor thing, might dig a hole from so much rubbing." A voice chuckled. By no means did I have to turn around to know it was him. "Leo..." I spoke. "...tsk...what do you want? ...uh...but first of all are you okay...?" He only laughed. "Nothing out of the usual, but it's not what I want but what do you want or…need…instead, don't you think?" His voice was calm, his eyes observant. "Ahem...hello," said a voice behind him. It was Leo's mate.

"Hi, my name is Reika. What are you doing here? Did you also get punished?" He asked me. His soft brown eyes seemed to melt my heart. Even though this place is so corrupted, his eyes were so innocent. Somehow it struck me as indecent. I shook my head in response. "A man just took me here. Nice to meet you too, Reika. I'm Nico." I greeted him politely. My thing didn't help me in anyway. I tried to cover it up but it's too late. He already knows. 'Damn it. This is so embarrassing.' I thought. My thoughts meandered to my father. 'I wonder how my dad will coupe. He said they used to be lovers. By no means am I disgusted by my father but it's just something you don't think about with your dad!' I smiled awkwardly. 'Get a grip! You can't think about that right now.'

I smiled sheepishly at them. Reika stared at me with a knowing smile...Leo just tried to hide his amusement. I can't believe he had such a tragic past. I wonder if he sees it that way too. All his life...to be treated as such… How old are they? How long has he been stuck here? "Umm...I'm just wondering...how old are you guys?" I asked. The air is starting to settle. I think I'm getting used to it. I shifted to my side gently, the throbbing pain still in effect. "Don't try too hard. Just get it over with." The brown hamster told me. "Yeah, he's right. And don't try to change the subject." Leo's face was serious. "I'm sure your mate will understand." My heart ached. "What...mate?" He gave me a look of sympathy and shook his head. 'The hell...what does he know that I don't! Don't give me that look.' I thought to him.

~CONALL~

I felt a sense of weakness...a numbing feeling. My heart just yearned for him. My entire being needed him. I miss him so bad. I really really do, much more than I thought I will. I felt empty and I just wanted him. My soul seems to cry out. Even my wolf thinks so too. It's been so long since my wolf spoke to me. It seems very weak...very faint. My connection is vague, so much so that I can only feel him in my dreams. But even so...it's only limited, just a few seconds and his presence disappears. The more so I feel lonely. Suddenly I felt a hand touching my manhood, interrupting my trail of thoughts. "Ah~" I gasped, quickly covering my mouth. I stared in horror yet with complete fascination. I can't believe someone that looks so innocent can do something like this.

Leo grabbed my arms from behind and sat me down to his lap. Reika lifted the covers of my make shift skirt. The blanket slid off of my thighs, revealing a pink flesh greatly needing of attention. I heard a whistle. Reika smiled almost apologetically. He leaned in closer, bringing his face eye level to my penis. I blushed furiously. No matter how much I struggle, Leo pins me securely. The chocolate herbivore touched my erection gently, sliding a finger down to my balls. My body trembled, my lips twitching trying not to make any noise as much as possible. He grouped my sacks tenderly, playing with it in his hands. "Stop! Reika...you can't!" I panted. He didn't pay any attention to my words. He nodded to Leo. My legs were suddenly lifted high and spread apart. The maniac held them for his mate. I felt the other's hot tongue on mine. A moan escaped from my lips. "Reika's really good with his tongue. Just enjoy it for the time being. I'm sure he'll understand." Leo whispered. I covered my mouth with both my hands. I stared as he lowered his head and took my flesh into his wet cavern. It was hot and soft, his teeth barely scraping. I closed my eyes...just feeling. His mouth was...hot like fire. I felt like I was burning, melting. "Ah...nnm...no...Too hot..." I moaned. Leo licked my neck, kissing my ears...whispering gentle things. His sweet words almost made me feel reassured. Sweat dribbled down from my thighs and legs. He stopped holding one of my legs. With that now free hand, he took his fingers and pinched my nipples. It was so hot. The heat, the touches...they were maddening. Reika's mouth explored all over my thing, licking...sucking. Little by little his pace quickens. The other changed his position. I don't know how. I couldn't see. Everything was a blur.

By and by the motion and the friction were just too much. Leo inserted a finger in my butthole. I didn't understand but all I could do was moan, pant and feel. It was uncomfortable at first but it was starting to feel good. There was no pain...even though it shames me to say this...but I was so wet. The sticky sound was embarrassing! Reika no longer has me in his mouth. He just kept stroking mine. His pace fast yet gentle. He kissed my chest and started lapping over my nipples. Leo then entered another finger. He scissored inside me. My whole body trembles. My mind was blank. Sweat escaped from my forehead. The heat...it was insane. His fingers dug in and out, deeper...faster. Again and again he did that. Leo's fingers stretched my hole. "Ah...hah...nmm...gah!...no more...please...I can't." It was too much. "AHHH...GgAaaaahhhH!" I screamed. My body went limp and my chaotic heart started to slow down. I panted, my chest rising and sinking. I collapsed on the floor. Reika patted my head. A white substance was evident to see on my stomach. I wanted to cry. I didn't just lose my chastity...right? "Just think of that as if we helped you jerk off. You're still good." Leo consoled me. The other hugged me. Without the constant action the heat had disappeared, turning into coldness. The sudden soothing coolness took me to sleep.

In and out I woke up but fall asleep again. In those moments that I wake up I'll hear them making love. In those few split seconds that my eyes would open, I'll see them embracing each other. Their eyes filled with love and lust. And in those seconds I'll think...I want Conall to hold me like that too. It was after 3 hours that I finally truly woke up. I rubbed my eyes. Rei and Leo were sleeping next to each other beside me, except they were in a mattress; I was just on the cold ground. I stretched my limbs. The room was dark. Hardly any candles were still lit. Slowly, as not to make a sound, I walked towards the door. I stopped midway when I heard a rustle. I ran back to where Rei and he were and I stayed there till they woke up. 'What time is it? Is it night time? What happened to dad?'

++++++Raymond's POV++++++

I felt like eternity was upon me. Who knew after all this years, I'll meet that man again? Shit...talk about a bad past. The Alpha and I are heading to the castle at this moment. That's their headquarters. Remus has always wanted to live in a palace. It suits him well. I clenched my fist. He better not has touched my son...and if he has then...I hope not so much. Fuck...Nico...would have it been better if I told you before? As we grew nearer to the castle, I felt fear and dread. I really don't want to see him. "Are you okay?" Ruelle asked. He knows everything about me. We've been friends since 9. "I'll be fine." I replied. I hope...I'll be fine soon, anyways. I closed my eyes and calmed down. Being irrational won't do anything.

I looked outside the car window. Many eyes were already following our movements. Their security seems thin. As I stared at the scenery, the past just came flooding back to me. Remus and I first saw each other under a tree. It was a strong oak tree, tall and old. That tree became a favorite spot for us. He would always smile and tease me. I was 15 then, so was he. The memories are still raw in my mind. He, who I want to forget but can't. I bit my tongue. 'Focus!' Clare knew what was going on between us but she didn't care. She loved me for who I am. We were mates and I felt so happy being with her. But I can't compare them. Being with Clare and being with him were different things. They were a different love. Even though they said that after finding your mate you'll forget about everybody else, meaning your past relationship. You'll think nothing of them and forget soon enough. However that was not my case. I remember him! Even the detail of our first kiss, I remember…so vividly. Even the small echoing of the distant feelings… What had set him apart from the rest?

We've finally arrived in front of the castle. The gates were already wide open when we entered. It was eerie. As we walked I felt a coldness ran through my soul. The clouds were dark and heavy. It looks like a storm is coming. I don't like the way it looks. The divisions are already set up, so the rest is up to us. I looked over to my dear friend. He nodded to me. The doors opened when we came close to them so we needn't do anything but walk towards the throne room. My heart were silent and wavering each step. I could hear my own breath and our echoing footsteps. We finally arrived at the throne room. A dark figure was sitting on the elaborate chair. It was Remus. His black hair has grown longer since I last saw him, but not much. His black eyes were still the same black hole. It was almost nice to see the man again but then again you have to realize what had happened. He's no longer the lover I used to love. He's not even remote to humane anymore...he's a monster.

I shook my head to myself. 'Don't be ridiculous!' I scolded myself. I glared at the man before me. "How nice of you to finally come back...Ray." He spoke, his tongue rolling, caressing my name. I wanted to hide. He stared at me. His eyes looked past my clothes and into my barrier heart. Remus chuckled. "Ahem!" Ruelle stepped in. "I think you know why we are here." "Perfectly," He answered yet still looking at me. Little by little our surroundings disappeared and it felt as if it was just him and me, my friend's voice drowning out. I could feel him talking and negotiating but...it was like listening underwater. Ruelle started his speech to stall as much as possible. But stalling will not be a problem since I am here. I doubt he'll let me go so soon. Remus's eyes were scanning my body. His eyes were dangerous, as if he in his mind was committing the sweetest and vile crime I know so well, murdering my entire being. Even the poem he made for me…I remember still…

"I'll give Nico back if you give me Ray." Remus spoke finally breaking the trance. I felt weak as if he had sucked all of the energy in me. "That's absurd!" Our Alpha growled. "What do you mean? It's a fair trade. Say Ray...don't you want to know what has happened to your son?" My body flinched. "Remus! You fucking bastard! If you..." I was angry. My heart finally took courage and lit into an inferno. "Now, now...no need to be upset. He's still fresh but I can't guarantee it will stay like that if he stays here any longer. Just this morning I had the chance to hold him just for a while...but due to circumstances just like now, I was interrupted from continuing any further." His words were captivating. He's one hell of a smooth talker. "Of course, I intend for you to repay that interruption with your body." I glared. "Don't you want your son to spend his birthday with his mate? Or are you willing to have him spend it with me instead? It's your choice..." His eyes were twinkling with cruel mischief. He's like a kid, a really messed up kid.

Remus laughed, his sound bouncing off the walls, deafening in volume. "Make your choice...Ray, his freedom and chastity or your virtue and body? Time is ticking, my dear." "Now hold on! You're threatening Ray into the decision! This is a..." Ruelle tried to talk. "Shut it you mutt! This is Ray's son, so it is his decision. Stay out of it...Ruelle." The pressure and tension were thick. I can't have Nico stay in this mad house any further. Plus, we'll be attacking after a few days anyways after declaring war. I will be able to be set free. Nico on the other hand will suffer the entire time here much more than I can. I've already experienced his love…I'm sure I can hold on. "I've made my decision!" I declared. Remus eyes landed on mine, a smile creeping in his face knowing his victory. "I..." I paused and looked back to Ruelle. It should have been enough right? This should have been enough...right? "Raymond..." He whispered in horror. "Remember what he did to you." I smiled bitterly. The Alpha's domain holds no power in this situation. "If you hold to that promise then I'll...I'll...go with...you." Remus laughed in his sweet glory.

"Welcome back, love."

++++++Conall's POV++++++

I heard everything from dad. I think they all knew that this was bound to happen. "Remus has always had a sick obsession with Raymond." Grandma said. I'm so happy that Nico will finally come back. Raymond with Jack's team will go to the forest by 10 pm today. Meanwhile they'll get Nico on the castle. I don't know why it's taking in different places but it's a double edge. It's fishy. We'll rescue his dad after a couple of days. In the meantime, Nico is the current priority. Jack didn't like the news so well. He was angry at first but he knows this was for the best. Dad seemed upset too. Michael will be the one driving and picking up Nico. Casey's team was successful. Lloyd and Lydia are safe here. Other than a few scratches here and there they're fine. Eric's team will be in charge of the homecoming operation. I'll be coming along with them.

++++++Remus's POV++++++

I finally have Ray back. I don't care one way or the other what happens to the rest but if I have him, nothing else matters. I've come so far for this moment. I won't have them take what's mine ever again. Ray belongs to me and he knows it. Just wait and see you fools. Don't think it's easy and over with. I walked towards the Execution Room. "Hey, you." I beckoned. A guy in his late teens stepped towards me. His face was scarred and his smile was toothy. "You're in charge of the "safety" of our princess in our transaction. I want my Queen to be comfortable when he gets here so don't do anything foolish got that?" The guy nodded back. He's a loyal dog that will follow any order I give him. This should be worthwhile. I laughed to myself as I walked down the hallways. Ray...God...how I want to murder you! Do you still remember my poem, my love?

++++++Lloyd's POV++++++

It was too easy...way too easy... Something is not right. Remus is not that type of person to let someone off the hook so easily. Only two groups tried to stop us. Or are me and my sister not that important. If that's so then...why am I getting this sick feeling like something big and bad is going to happen? Did Remus plan this all out? Does he only want Raymond? Something doesn't click. He's too greedy and ambitious for that. I gotta tell the others.

++++++Nico's POV++++++

I hugged my knees close to my chest. 'What's going on?' I looked over to the couple. They just got back a few minutes ago. I don't know where they've been summoned to but I know Remus was included. They won't tell me anything. Leo seems to be at edge and Reika looks sad. I wanted to hide. The silence was awkward. "Nico...umm...you'll be set free tonight by 10 pm. Your dad and your Alpha came and made a deal. So...get ready." Leo finally spoke to me. "What?!" 'I am happy to be finally free, of course but...it doesn't feel right.' "What's the deal?" I asked. Reika looked away from me. "Don't worry about it. You're free! That's like...a ticket to heaven!" Leo grinned at me. I looked at the two. Will it be weird if I say I'll miss those two? "Now, don't get sad." Rei said. "You'll think about us now and then right? I'll say send us a text or a letter once a month but that doesn't happen." He smiled at me. "Are we friends?" I asked. The two smiled at me. "Of course, we are. Though this and that happen...hehehe." Rei replied. It doesn't feel right. "You better get prepared. Come on. I'll get you around and find you some clothes to wear. Maybe a shower too." Reika smiled at me. I nodded.

I'm free? Why do I feel this dread then? I'm happy that I'll see Conall again but... Something's really wrong. Something doesn't add up right.

I followed the couple throughout the building. No one stopped us or tried to even talk to us. They wouldn't even look at us. It was nice that I have a little privacy but it was so weird. I don't know how to describe this unsettling feeling. It was disturbing and just plain wrong. Leo got me some clothes while Rei and I took a shower. The cold water was nice. I soaked for probably an hour till I finally got out. "Here." Leo said tossing over my clothes. The two were already clothed and clean themselves when I got out. "Did I take that long?" I asked. "More or less." They teased. It was a relief that I'll finally cover myself but the clothes felt weird on me. It's like I'm wearing clothes for the first time. I never thought I'll think that its more comfortable being nude. I'll get used to it again though. We walked towards a big door that opened up to the outside world. The air was crisp and wet. It looks like it'll rain soon. I looked over my back but Rei and Leo was already leaving. "Wait!" I called after them. "Hold on." They stopped and turned back to me. "Stay till I go?" I whispered in a question rather than a statement. Reika nodded but Leo seems upset.

The sky rumbled deep and ominous. It was dark and cloudy were you couldn't see the stars nor the moon. The trees whispered to each other of secrets that no one knows. Leo and Rei stood behind me. "Its 9:59." Reika informed me. In a far of distance I could hear an engine running. It's my ride...I assume. As my heart beats, a second has passed, and as a second has passed the nearer the sound. Soon enough I could go home. A group of people guarded us. They were far back though. Probably making sure that I was delivered safely? At exactly 10 pm they arrived. It was a man with dark hair. He was in a jeep. There was also a group behind it but I couldn't see them, they were distanced enough so that I couldn't. "Goodbye." I told them. "Bye." They answered. I was about to go when Leo grabbed my shoulders. "Be careful, especially with places where there's too much trees. Also...try not to pass the lake." I looked back at him but he shook his head. I got inside the jeep. Rei closed the door for me. "Be safe okay?" He said. It felt like a warning. The engine started and off we go.

"Hi, my name is Michael. Hmm...are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine." I replied. As we drove their words kept repeating over my head. "Don't go where there's too much trees and don't pass the lake." I suddenly shouted. He looked at me alarmed. "Ah.. sorry...just do it though." He nodded and tried to do what I've asked. The drive was barely 15 minutes into the forest when I sensed it. I don't know what exactly but I know it's something bad. All too sudden rain fell in a downpour. We could hardly see what was in front of us. For safety reasons we slowed down. It was so dark we didn't notice that we took the road to where Leo warned me I shouldn't. We were near a place where there's a cluster of trees stuck together. Lightning struck. "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to have taken the jeep." Michael commented. The rain was so loud that we couldn't hear our own words much less hear them come. THUD "Michael!" I screamed.

++++++Leo's POV++++++

I paced back and forth. Should I or shouldn't I? I looked back to my mate. His face was worried. "Leo...you think that they'll..." I quickly rushed to him and hugged him. "I don't know, Rei...I don't know. Rei...I'm going to..." "You're going to help him right?" I nodded. "Then I'm coming with you." "NO!" I snapped. I growled at him though it hurts me to do so to him. "Do you fucking wanna die? Even if you come you'll just be dead weight!" "I DON'T CARE!" He yelled back. Determination and his same stubbornness stood straight it front of me, unwilling to back down any time soon. Time which I can't afford to lose. "Rei...damn you...fuck! Come on let's go. We don't have much time." I ordered. "Yes. You do know we'll get punished again. This time...I..." I smiled at him reassuringly. He who has brought back the me who I was losing constantly, he who has loved me even though I was so messed up, he is my live that I'll die for. He gave me something more than freedom to a place where it didn't exist. Reika means more to me than anything I could ever want or need. In saying so, I'll protect him. "Don't worry. Isn't that what we do all the time? Break the mother fucker's rules? Don't worry...I'll protect you." I grinned at him cockily. "I know you will." He smiled back. I owe something to Nico...the least I could do is repay him.

We ran towards the door out. "Where do you think you're going?" A man asked. We walked on passed him. "You do know what you're doing right?" I didn't look back at the man. I just raised a fist and pulled out my middle finger at him. He laughed. "Die you little fucker." We ran outside. The rain was hard and brutal. It beat against our skin so much that I felt as if it was tearing my flesh off. We turned into our wolf form and ran. We just ran. Tracking him will be easy...being there on time won't be. Rei ran behind me, careful not to slip. Nico's jeep has already been hit. I could sense it in the air. I have to go on faster. Those guys behind the jeep weren't your alley Nico. I'm sorry I deceived you. It was an order. Shit. "Leo...to the left by the thick grooves." We quickly turned to our left. I could smell it. His mate has almost arrived. What's the guy's name again? Bet he hates the living guts out of me. "AHahahaha..." I laughed. "Leo..." Rei whispered. "Were closing in." I stated. "Get ready do shed some blood."

++++++Nico's POV++++++

The jeep swerved and slammed against a tree, causing the car to jolt. The jeep was crashed up front, the air bag instantly popped up. With shaky hands I unbuckled my seat belt. I pushed the air bags away and pushed my way outside. Michael has hit in the head with an iron object. Someone landed on the roof of the jeep and had done the deed. They grabbed him and tossed him out. The car door was ripped apart. I ran to the guy's side. Two men approached me from the back. There are 20 of them. Shit! 11 are up on the trees. The rest are hiding back. Damn...why haven't I noticed it wasn't them? I knew there were people behind the jeep but I didn't expect it to be...ugh!

I grabbed a suitable stick that was close by; it would suffice for a weapon. I stood up to meet the unwelcomed guests. "Hey there pretty face. Think you can actually beat us with a stick?" One of the men asked me as they approached. "Please sirs..." I gave them my best defenseless puppy face. "If you don't do anything stupid, will be gentle with you." He cackled. I lowered the stick. One quickly ran towards me. Using the force he is running towards me and the force I am capable of, I took the stick back up and skewered it through his heart. Technically, he ran into it. I stabbed the stick just the right time. The stick was far too deep inside him so I took his weapon instead. It was 2 daggers. Oh...how nice! My kind of specialty. Let's dice them up. My wolf growled. I agree- With a mighty cry I countered against the other one. Lightning and thunder were my background. Light would electrify the sky at least every 5 seconds, making it feel like flashing in a dance floor. "I'll give you a show." I yelled with a mad grin. I never felt stronger in my entire life. Thunder and the sound of rain was my music, lightning was my spotlight. I danced with my new acquired short swords and sliced through the enemies one by one.

I've taken down at least 5. Another 4 are just injured and unconscious. There were 11 more to go but one by one their heat disappeared. Someone has come. I sniffed the wet air. It was faint but it was Conall! 10...9...8...7... With the 7th hit he appeared in view sight. I saw a Greek god fighting in pure perfection. Seeing him almost made me drop my guard. My heart was filled with happiness. Conall... He turned to look at me horror in his eyes. "NICO! BEHIND YOU!" He screamed. He ran towards me. I ducked my head just in time but that wasn't enough. Conall is way too far away from me. I turned around to fight but the guy was so strong. The ground was way too muddy for me to be able to run as fast and accurate. I deflected his attacks with the 2 daggers. Left, right, right, left, right, left, left, upper right, down left, it just kept coming fast. He has a long knife. Each attack, the heavier the blow. Left! But my block wasn't enough. He was able to cut through my shirt and slice into my skin. It wasn't a real damage but I can't say that for long.

Conall has become very busy also. Even in his wolf form they were not easy to fight off. This people were humans...some half wolf. I would change to my form but my wolf was too weak. But I can't pay attention to him right now. The man before me is about 7 or so, wide and muscle built but fat. He was a giant. His eyes were blood shot and his breath acidic. "I cut you neck. Make your head my pretty trophy." He sounded dumb. He would pause after every word. "Gah..." I grunted. I'm now blocking with both daggers. He kept pushing and pushing and I tried to push also but he was so strong. "NICO!" Conall yelled. He ran to the man, tackling him at the side. "You bad!" The man shouted. He threw the knife at him, stabbing him straight through the stomach area. He fell to the ground. I ran to the man and cut his throat. He fell cold and dead.

I sprinted back to Conall. "Conall are you okay?" I asked my eyes wide with fear and tears. "I'm fine. Somehow...it didn't cut...through any of my...organs or bones." He grunted. He pulled the knife quickly, scarlet blood pouring down. "Conall you're..." "I'll be fine." Suddenly I felt another one. I quickly stood up. Bam! I staggered backwards. I've...been shot at my right shoulder? What...? I felt as it was just a water gun. Red crimson scarlet dripped from the spot where it had pierced through. There was no pain. "Nniiiccooo!" Conall stood up but he wasn't able to get to me. BAM! I felt my world crash around me. Everything was falling as time stood still. I could hear faint words. "No...Nico...please...I love you..." Then everything went blank.
