"Come on wake up, open your eyes." I heard muffled voice above me saying. I was slipping in and out of consciousness.

My eyes fluttered open for a moment to see Kaiba's blurry face. "Come on, stay with us… I though normal guns can't kill werewolves?" Kaiba yelled to someone else

"They can't, but the bullet didn't go all the way through so her body isn't healing, it must be a hollow point, expanded on impact to slow it down and keep it inside. They hurt like a bitch, and it's going to hurt worse trying to dig it out. Alright you have to try and keep her still; this is going to be painful." It was Caleb.

Suddenly the white hot pain returned, and bucked and thrashed against Kaiba's strength. I screamed out in pain and tears were streaming down my face.

"Keep her still!" Caleb hissed jabbing forceps deep into the bullet wound

"I'm trying! She is strong, why don't you hold her down and I'll dig it out." Kaiba said through clenched teeth.

Caleb stopped digging and the pain subsided to a dull ache. "Fine I'll hold her down, but you have to make sure to get the main cluster, any small fragments her body will take care of." Caleb said handing Kaiba the forceps. The two switched places and soon it was Caleb's face I was looking up at, he was still covered in the blood of the man he nearly killed.

"I'm sorry sis but I have to keep you still or we won't be able to get the bullet." Caleb gently said and put his hands on my shoulders

The pain returned but this time when I tried to thrash I was being held down firmly by Caleb. I couldn't do anything but scream in pain and sob with tears.

"I know, it's almost out, just stay awake." Caleb kept repeating like a mantra "Hurry it up Kaiba I can't hold her down much longer. The adrenaline is making her stronger."

Suddenly Kaiba pulled hard on the bullet and I felt my body beginning to heal, the pain stopped. "I got it!" Kaiba exclaimed and held up a bloody bullet that was flowered out.

"Quick move away!" Caleb yelled and let go of my shoulders

At the moment Caleb let go of my shoulders and rolled over and phased again sending my body up in the air. I landed on all four paw, snarling, thrashing my head about, pissed off to all hell. Everything in my vision was red with rage and the first person I saw was Caleb still human. I took off towards him sending dirt and grass up into the air. Before I reached him Caleb phased back to his wolf form and I crashed into him sinking my teeth into his neck. Caleb returned by biting the skin at my neck. I threw him to side with a powerful swing of my neck. Caleb rolled on the ground a couple of times before getting back up onto his feet. We both stood facing each other and slowly began to circle each other planning. We took off running at each other; we reared up and crashed our chests against each other snapping the air around each other's necks. I managed to push him down on to his back and I stood above him snarling and frothing at the mouth. My vision was still red with rage, but suddenly I heard a voice behind me.

"Stop!"

I quickly threw my head to see who dared to stop me, but I saw Kaiba with fear in his eyes. Everything suddenly stopped, the red faded and I realized what was going on. The rage that was in my body disappeared and everything inside me relaxed. I turned my attention back to see Caleb as a wolf lying on his back in between my paws, bloody with his blood and the other man's. I stepped off of him and looked down apologetically at him.

"Brother?" I whinned "So sorry." I licked his cheeked

Caleb rolled over and laid on his stomach looking up at me. His neck was red with his blood where I had bit him. I looked back and saw that Kaiba had relaxed but still didn't make any effort to come near us. I slowly walked to him with my head hung low in embarrassment. I stopped several feet in front of Kaiba and laid down and looked up to him with sad puppy dog eyes; it was the only way I could portray how incredibly sorry and embarrassed I was by the whole situation. Kaiba just stared down at me with no emotion on his face, I was afraid that he was going to be too afraid of us now to allow us to be any protection in the future. Since Kaiba was not making any motion to accept my apology I stood back up and went to my brother who had managed to stand too. I rubbed up against him in affection; it's like a wolf's hug. I felt horrible for attacking him like I did but being shot would piss off anyone and plus the full moon didn't help the mood anyways. Caleb leaned into my apologetic rubbing and I knew he wasn't mad. Caleb had been shot before and when he finished healing I was the one who had to fight him to calm down his rage. We battled each other for an hour before he tired himself out. By the end of everything we both were covered in bite marks and limped around the house for a week. We both stopped and sat down looking to Kaiba to show we didn't hate each other.

"Explain, apologize" Caleb barked to me, "Phase back, already seen naked."

Right I was shot and phased back completely naked until they got the bullet out. We'll I guess there is no use in being embarrassed by the fact Kaiba has seen me naked; it was bound to happen sooner or later. I took a deep breath and began to stand up on my hind legs. By the time I was my front paws were a foot off the ground I was already ¾ human again. I soon stood in front of Kaiba naked, and surprisingly not embarrassed by it.

I didn't make any effort to approach him I just stood where I was, "I am so sorry. Please understand that I would have never hurt you, it was you who stopped me. Me and Caleb could have been fighting for hours before I tried out."

Kaiba stood silent for a few moments, never taking his eyes off of mine, it was like he didn't notice that I was completely naked. "I thought you were going to die, there was so much blood."

I then noticed how much blood was covering Kaiba. He still was wearing board short and no shirt, but his chest was almost completely covered in blood, and his blue shorts were now stained a purple color.

"I wouldn't have died I would have been in pain until my body slowly pushed the bullet out. I don't know how long that would have taken but I wouldn't have died…" I said with a hit of shame. "It might have left some damage as the bullet was being dragged slowly out ward, I could have been left with a severe limp in my front right leg. I would have been crippled." I hung my head

"You were just shot and now you stand in front without a single mark to show for it." Kaiba said with no emotion.

I looked down to my right shoulder were the bullet had just been. There was a small white spot where the bullet entered my skin; it was the only mark to show that I was just shot. It already looked like an old scar, barely noticeable to anyone who isn't looking for it. "Holy shit, I was just shot… I was fucking shot… by that fucker over there." I said and stomped my way towards the unconscious body lying in the grass.

I suddenly remembered what had happened. Two men had come here to hurt Kaiba and possibly Mokuba and then they shot me. The man was lying in the grass with shallow and choppy breathing; he must be bleeding into his lungs. "He's not going to make it unless he gets to a hospital now." Caleb came padding over next to me. "You really did a number to his chest Caleb." I said wincing at the sight of the man chest practically flayed open. "What do you want us to do with him?" I asked turning to look at Kaiba who was slowly approaching the man.

"Can you save him? Or at least keep him alive long enough for the security team to come back?" Kaiba asked looking down at the dying man.

"I can't save him, and I really don't know how to treat injuries like that." I said searching Kaiba's face for any emotion.

"Kill him then." Kaiba said sternly

You might not want to watch this… We have to dispose of the body away from your property, but I don't know where exactly to put him so we are going to have to… completely rip him pieces…" I said with all seriousness. "I'll look for a ID and a phone to see if that can help narrow down who sent him. I wouldn't touch it if I were you, not until we get him umm… settled." I knealt down and began digging through pockets. I didn't find a wallet, but I managed to find his phone and threw it aside into the grass. The man was barely breathing and was struggling for every breath he managed to get. "You should go now. I'll come find you once we are done. That is if you want me to; I'll just leave if you don't want to talk. I understand." I said and looked out of the corner of my eyes up to him.

"I'll be inside. The door back door is unlocked, you'll find me." Kaiba turned and walked back towards the house.

I turned back to face the dying man and Caleb watched me with deep concern. "I'll do it, I've already killed a human it won't hurt my soul anymore. You keep that slate clean, stick to killing witches…" I forced a smile and grabbed the man's head and quickly snapped his neck in a swift moment. The man's chest fell with his last breath and I phased back into a wolf to begin the gruesome process of deposing of the body.

3 hours later I finished burying the last remaining small piece that was left. We managed to rip all flesh from the bones and break the bones down smaller splinter and began to bury them across different places in the city that we could reach without being spotted. With as small as the pieces were the flesh should decompose quickly and the bones were buried deep enough that they would never be found. I would now have to live with the pain of killing a man, and I knew that it would change me. As an alpha I needed to take the brunt of the pain because it is my job to protect my brother, but it wouldn't help with the fact that I still murdered someone… again. I met up with Caleb again on a far corner of Kaiba's estate once he was finished.

"Finished, go home, I stay" I barked to Caleb

"You Okay?" He whined with deep concern

"No…" I groaned back and started walking towards my pick up.

Once I got back I checked around to make sure that no one was watching again before phasing back and opening the back door where my clothes waited. I started dressing and was just putting on a bra when Caleb's car pulled in front of my pick up. Caleb turned off the lights but kept the engine running.

"Are you going to be okay?" He asked now able to vocalize the concern he had for me.

"Right now? No I'm pretty far from okay, but I'll get over it, well I'll manage it. I killed a man for the second time. If there is a god above I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell." I said and slide and fitted tee-shirt over my head. I grabbed a jacket and closed the door.

"The man shot you. He was going to kill you if he knew what you really were. He came here for Kaiba and Mokuba and we saved them. You didn't murder him in cold blood, you defended yourself. He was going to die any ways, it's really my fault. I heard the gun shot and then your pain came flooding over me. Next thing I knew my vision went red and I turned around and ran back to see you bleeding on the ground. I wanted that man dead." Caleb said with clenched fists.

I quickly went to him and placed my hands on his shoulders. "Caleb, it's not your fault, if it was me I would have done the same thing. We did what we did and now we have to live with it. It's over with and we didn't have much of any other choice. Go home get some sleep. I'll be home soon." I tried to sooth him. I dropped my hands and Caleb nodded and got in to his car and left.

I took a moment to compose myself before getting into my pickup and driving back into Kaiba's estate. Once I managed to get up the drive way I took the curve I did when I left earlier that morning. I parked the pick up outside the garage doors and walked around to the back where Kaiba had said the door was unlocked. Once I found the door I quietly opened it and stepped inside. Once I had the door closed I took a deep breath and tried to smell or hear for Kaiba. I didn't hear any typing or any other noise that might lead me to him so I started through the house to the foyer where I could walk up to the next floor. Once I made it to the stair case I stopped to make sure I could hear Mokuba's breathing while he slept. I heard steady breathing from his side of the house and I knew he was asleep. I climbed the stairs and took the now familiar turn to head down the hallway to Kaiba's room.

I reached the doors and knocked softly and hopped I wasn't waking him. "It's open." A barely audible voice said

I grabbed the door knob but the door began to swing forward. I pushed door open a little further and slipped inside and closing it gently behind me.

"Hi…" I mumbled, I didn't know what else to say. I looked up to see Kaiba sitting on his bed still covered in blood, but managed to put on a tee-shirt that now stained red with my blood his laptop open beside him. "Kaiba are you okay? You are still covered in my blood." I exclaimed as I approached him

I climbed on the bed and stood up on my knees straddling his legs. I placed a hand under his chin and pulled his head up to look at me. "Has Mokuba seen you like this? You need to shower." I looked in to his eyes and saw my own looking back deep with concern.

"No he was crashed out on the couch when I came in I got him awake and he walked up to his room and never noticed. I've been up here trying to figure out who is sending these men. They shot you and now they are starting to piss me off." Kaiba said looking at the laptop on the other side of him.

"Well you don't need to be sitting on your bed and getting blood all over it. Come on you need to shower." I said and got up and started pulling him up by his hand.

I managed to pull him up and standing, "Take this off." I said and began pulling up the bottom of his tee-shirt. Once I couldn't reach anymore he continued to pull it over his head, and was surprised to see me taking off my own shirt. "What you think you're the only one who needs to wash the blood of their body?" I said dropping my tee-shirt to the ground. I continued to take off my yoga pants and leaving them next to my shirt. I walked past Kaiba, in my underwear and bra, and towards his large bathroom. "Well come on." I said beckoning him with a finger and a seductive stare before disappearing.
