  "Not you too, don't you trust Lexi?"
 
  Jasper
  I do but I'm scared
 
  Jaxon
  Me to
 
  "It's going to be ok, I'll be right by your side the entire time but we don't know what shape these girls are in or if they will need healing. I need to go"
 
  Jasper whimpers again, licking my stomach as cù comes to his side doing the same. They lick each other and whine giving me the same puppy dog eyes at the same time. I roll my own and shake my head
 
  "Stop it, get your heads in the game now, who is carrying me?"
 
  Jaxon leans down like he's stretching so I climb up, cù pushes me the rest of the way with his nose in my butt
 
  "Would you stop it you creep"
 
  I giggle and climb the rest of the way. Cù looks at me, cocking his head to the side with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. I sit up and brush his soft pelt and relax as he walks towards the crowd of already shifted wolves all of whom were one colour except for Jasper and cù, Jasper has dark brown spots and white as where cù is a lighter brown and white. I know the boys were huge, far bigger than normal size wolves but seeing them all together like this is kind of crazy. It looks more like a herd of horses then it does wolves. We run to the border, some others in human form follow us with large guns when we get to the border Ailm and Isla are standing with the boys in human form, their eyes goggle out of their head when we approach
 
  "Damn they are huge"
 
  "I know!"
 
  "Luna the neighbouring pack are approaching with troops"
 
  I frown looking to the girls
 
  "Did you know they were coming?"
 
  I asked them they looked just as shocked as me, I shrug
 
  "Let them through"
 
  I answer him as Luca comes forward with around 50 men
 
  "Aspen wouldn't settle until I offered to come in her place I hope you don't mind us joining the party"
 
  I shrug
 
  "The more the merrier, you convinced her to stay at home?"
 
  He looks away a little guilty as Scott his beta coughs covering a laugh
 
  "You don't want to know"
 
  He answers, Isla steps forward with a smirk on her face
 
  "Now why would you go and say that, now we need to know"
 
  Scott takes into a fit of laughter and Luca shakes his head elbowing him.
 
  "If Scott gets to know I want to know"
 
  Ailm adds suspiciously. I smirk looking at him, I really did want to know.
 
  "Well I might have got a little help from the doctor, she agreed she couldn't fight so she helped me knock her out."
 
  I gasped as cù whined looking at my stomach and pushing it, I slap his nose
 
  "Stop it cù or I'll make good on my promise"
 
  He rolls his eyes huffing and turning away. My family all look at me suspiciously I roll my eyes at them
 
  "What I told him if he tries to stop me from fighting I'll make sure he never has a boner again"
 
  My pack burst into a fit of laughter, even the wolves laugh as cù growls at them, Ailm and Isla stand in front of me with their arms crossed
 
  "And why would he ever try to stop you? Your the best damn fighter Iv ever seen"
 
  I shrug and fain innocents
 
  "Because he's over protective"
 
  "You are the worst liar ever"
 
  Luca said crossing his own arms
 
  "Can we discuss this later please we have girls to save and I have a baby to get back to"
 
  "Wowowow wait a minute when did you have a baby and why did no one tell me"
 
  I groan rolling my eyes
 
  "Seriously talk about it after, I was going to throw a party and surprise everyone so don't tell anyone"
 
  He puts his hand up to stop me
 
  "Still doesn't answer the question"
 
  "It's complicated but the girl who escaped from the camp, Ashley who is staying with us, saved him. His mother was a banshee and she had visions of her dying and Ashley taking the baby and bringing him to me when she died"
 
  "So you have a banshee baby"
 
  "Banshee hellhound Lycan baby. They turned the father to Lycan and made them have the baby and use the baby to do their bidding so it's complicated but seriously I need to get back to him so let's go"
 
  He groans turning around
 
  "Fine fine we can talk after, but you need to tell aspen or she will freak out that I new before her"
 
  I shake my head and we take off towards the camp, we have warriors surrounding the place already watching who comes in and out, I don't think they know we are coming but you can never be too sure. We run the entire way and it takes around 40 minutes. We have around 1000 warriors with us, add that to the others we have around 1500, but our advantage was snipers in the trees. They were on the very top of the trees closest to the camp, they could cover their scent and be extremely quiet and so far none had been noticed. The plan was to get in, kill as many as possible, save the girls and kids and kill the rest. As we approached the stench of them made my stomach roll, they smelled filthy like rotten fish, it took all my effort not to get sick over the top of jaxon and we were still 10 minutes out. I climb of Jax and they cover me as i strip and ignite myself on fire, cù licked my cheek
 
  Scott
  I love you both so much
 
  Jaxon
  Me too
 
  Me
  Us 3 & 4
 
  They both whimper, licking my belly. I smile running my flaming hand through their hair, it amazes me that it didn't even sizzle under my touch. We walk the rest of the way in complete silence, our people surround the place quietly and when they are in place we take off.
 
  My heart hammers in my chest as I run behind the boys, screams come from the camp as our people attack, most were shocked and had no idea what was happening giving us the advantage of the jump taking out over quarter of them in seconds. The place was overrun with wolves and men, guns started going off but they were coming from above. It was cius and soon they boys ended up fighting further away from me, my flames scared most people but I touched as many as I could putting them on their ass as Greg came behind me breaking their neck. I tried to stay out of the action as much as possible but it was hard when your being attacked on all fronts, I notice to the side where one of our woman were surrounded in rogues I jump into action grabbing one with my flaming hand and making him play dead, I did it to 3 others as the woman fought and killed the other 2 when I was done I grabbed the 3 others and I broke their necks one after the other. The woman gasps
 
  "Thanks Luna"
 
  "Anytime"
 
  When I turn we are surrounded, but suddenly I'm surrounded in white foam, confused as to what the fuck was happening Lexi started to laugh in my head
 
  Me
  What's so funny?
 
  Lexi
  They are trying to put out our fire with a fire extinguisher
 
  I smiled as the foam melted off my body only burning it hotter and brighter as I jumped on the first one breaking his neck and touching the other and telling him to kill his own people. I do that with the other one and immediately they switch sides and start to kill their own people off. I do this with as many as I meet making my way to the cages in the ground, the smell around them were putrid, I burn through the lock and lift the cage
 
  "Get out now, stay together and go to the forest and wait for us. We are bringing you all home. Anyone to small to climb carry them"
 
  "Luna is that you?"
 
  A young girl asks, I remember her from the day they left. I extinguished my face so they could see me
 
  "Yes it's me, I'm so sorry they did this to you, now please get out and go to the forest, I need to free the others"
 
  They start to cry as they climb out but one girl doesn't move
 
  "Why isn't she coming? You need to wake her up?"
 
  They were all filthy, thick mud caked to their skin, skinny, their clothes were basically rags. They had a bucket in one corner of the cage and were huddled together on the other side it was filthy and disgusting
 
  "She's dead Luna, she died 3 days ago can you not smell her?"
 
  My stomach rolls and this time I do barf, I empty my stomach as I register that the smell was coming from the girl, how had they survived down there with her like that.
 
  "Go to the forest and wait for us ok?"
 
  "Ok Luna"
 
  I run to the next cage as fast as I possibly can, burning through the cage and opening it up. I cover my nose with my mouth
 
  "Anyone too small to climb or run you need to carry, go to the forest and meet the other girls, wait for us there ok?"
 
  They start crying and hugging each other
 
  "Move faster celebrate when we get you home"
 
  "Home as in back to the pack?"
 
  The first girl that climbs out asks holding a little girl no older than 5 years old
 
  "Yes to the pack, go quick and try to stay out of the fighting. Wait for the other girls and move together and stay together"
 
  They climb out as I move to the next one? This one was mostly full of dead people. I burn through the cage and gag looking down at the 2 girls that were left
 
  "Quick get out and follow the others to the forest"
 
  They look confused so I clap my hands together
 
  "Move it now!"
 
  I move on and do the next 5 cages full of young women and kids. Each held around 30- 50 people, some were mostly dead people. It was disgusting and how anyone lived around the stench of rotten flesh was way beyond my comprehension. I couldn't imagine living like this and the thought of my kids living like this made me mad.
 
  As I reached the next cage I could hear a baby crying but all I could see were dead people, then I noticed it. A woman who had clearly just given birth had died and a tiny baby still attached to an umbilical cord lay on the ground screaming. I called a girl from the previous line
 
  "Can you climb down and get the baby? I have to stay like this incase they attack the girls"
 
  "Promise you won't leave me behind"
 
  I frowned and shook my head
 
  "Never, I promise"
 
  She nods and climbs down the ladder and goes to the baby gagging at the smell. She lifts it up but the cord was still attached I cursed under my breath
 
  "You need to use your nail to cut it and hold it. Or use a hairband to tie it before you cut it"
 
  She pulls something out of her hair, it was a Bobby pin, she slides it on the umbilical cord and uses her nail to cut it then she rushes back up the steps to me, I shouted for the other girls to wait
 
  "Keep that baby safe for me please, stay with the others, straight to the forest and wait for us ok?"
 
  "Yes Luna thank you"
 
  I smile and watch as she disappears into the growing crowd of girls. A man comes barrelling towards me growling. I run at him and catch him by the throat burning through it and I throw his body into the pit. I go through the next few problem free but as I get to the last one all I hear is kids. Kids around 3 or 4 hiding under a blanket
 
  "Hey, come on out now, you need to climb the ladder and come with me. I promise I'm going to get you warm clothes, some food and toys to play with but I need you to climb out for me please"
 
  A few of the older kids sit up and I sigh when I realise they are older than they first looked
 
  "How do we know you're not lying?"
 
  I extinguish my face and smile at her leaning over
 
  "Because I'm your Luna and I've come to save you. Will you trust me?"
 
  The 2 oldest girls look at each other and nod then look up to me
 
  "Ok, come on everyone we need to climb the ladder I'll be right behind you"
 
  I extinguished most of my body as the tiny kids climbed up the ladder, I helped them stand in a line and hold each other's hand. When the last girl gets out
 
  "Everyone needs to hold hands and don't let go until I tell you, the 2 oldest to the front and the back and you all follow me ok?"
 
  They all agree
 
  "Ok don't touch my fire ok?"
 
  They nod and I walk ahead of them covering them until I get to the edge of the forest.
 
  "Now you all go to those girls and wait for me ok? I'll be right back and then your all going home I promise"
 
  They smile and take off running towards the other girls and kids waiting in the forest.
 
  Me—pack
  I have all the girls and kids in the forest, did I miss any that you can see?"
 
  Jaxon
  I have 3 kids over here I put them in a tent until I kill the rest of these bastards stay with the girls
 
  I roll my eyes not bothering to answer as I see a rogue try to approach one of my men so I run and jump on his back tossing him and breaking his neck. Another tries to get the jump on him but I catch his legs and I yank on them. He falls screaming in pain trying to free his leg from my fiery grip so I just stuff my hand through his chest and vaporise his heart into ash. When I lift my head it's a woman screaming as her mate dies in my hands and she runs at me screaming. She tries to grab my throat pushing her hand through my fire and ignoring her own pain I stuff my hand into her chest and I let her die like her mate. I drop her to the ground and look around. Our men were standing around doing nothing as the last of the rogues died I look to all of them that are no longer fighting
 
  "Can you check the area and make sure we missed no kids please?"
 
  They all take off going through each tent, but as I round the corner I seen jaxons wolf Jasper growling over a smaller coloured wolf, behind him is a girl in her underwear, cù comes from a tent with clothes in his mouth and he drops them at the girls feet I run over to them as Jasper attacks the smaller wolf. His huge jaws clamp around her neck and he shakes her like a rag doll breaking her neck. The girl is crying, wiping her face so I go to her side letting my fire on my arms die out.
 
  "Are you ok?"
 
  She collapses on the ground crying
 
  Scott
  The rogues Luna can't have pups so they killed her mate and have been raping her to get her pregnant and steal her pup
 
  I put my hand out and touch her, I heal her, I heal the pain from the bond she lost at such a young age and I know see why Lycan mates were so strong. I healed her pain and healed the trauma of what she went through. I made her feel empowered because now she's out. The best revenge is for her to live her life to the fullest and love harder than she hates. When she stands off the ground she has a glint in her eye, the same one Ashley has now. It's a powerful thing to know you've made it out alive from your worst nightmare. Makes you know that you can do anything because you survived it. She stomps towards the trees saying nothing. Suddenly I don't feel to good and cù catches me as I stumble
 
  Scott
  Shit are you ok?
 
  Me
  Just hungry and tired
 
  Scott
  Hop on
 
  I climb on him and my muscles are sore from fighting. Jaxon is finishing the last of the rogues off when a ferocious feral growl echoes around the area. I saw the normal wolves cower away from the noise, it didn't affect us but I could see why it affected others. A huge grey and white wolf bound into the camp and it was obvious he was pissed. His eyes caught sight of his Luna on the ground and he growled, every hair on his body stood straighter as he sniffed her body and turned, setting his sights squarely on jaxon. Jaxon was the same height as him and I watched and he circled jaxon trying to box him in. I notice a few more rogues had followed him from wherever they came from, they were big wolves to so I slid of Scott's back and ignited my body in preparation, a shooter from above hit one of the wolves in between the eyes dropping him on the spot, his friend whimpered then growled at me and Scott, he nodded to us and 2 more black wolves came up behind him and all 3 advanced on us, cù growls taking a defensive stance in front of me. I roll my eyes as they attack, I watch as 2 attack Scott and the other 1 jumps over Scott and lands beside me.
 
  He moves trying to corner me but I increase the heat of my fire and the wolves whimper and move back. I walk towards the first one, the hairs on his coat start to simmer and burn. He walks himself into a wall so I grab his snout and burn through it, I pull him into a headlock and burn through his head and I drop it on the floor to my feet.
 
  Scott's body suddenly ignites, shocking the 2 wolves that have him pinned to the ground. It burns them giving Scott enough time to bite through their jugular like I had taught him to do. Jasper was sitting on top of the rogue alpha on fire slowly burning him alive. Cù came trotting over to me and leaned down so I could climb on him. Jasper reached down and tore out the alphas jugular and he skipped over to us rubbing his head over both of us.
 
  I yawn stretching and I lay down on cù as we trot over to where my bags are, I climb off and get dressed and I hear the baby screaming so i duck over to the girls where the young girl holding the baby panics rocking it back and forth
 
  "Here give her over"
 
  "Thank you Luna I have no idea what I'm doing"
 
  I chuckle and look at the girls there were hundreds of them, the smallest ones stood at the front holding hands with the older ones
 
  "Can we get food now?"
 
  I smile
 
  "So much food your not going to be able to finish it all"
 
  They jump on the spot as the wolves line up beside us
 
  "Now the young ones need to ride with the older ones so if you have a little sibling grab them and climb on"
 
  They all got on the wolves one after the other 2 exhausted to walk the entire way home, Jaxon had arranged for busses to meet us at the closest road and it was only a 5 minute run and then the kids could at least warm up. After getting them all on the wolves the baby started to scream it was starving.
 
  "Ok to the buses, are we sure we have everyone?"
 
  I shout as a little hand from behind a tree pops up
 
  "Me don't fucking forget me"
 
  I snort and laugh as a little girl no older than 3 comes barrelling through the forest, I hear someone in a fit of laughter behind me so I turn to see Ailm and Isla laughing so hard they nearly pass out.
 
  "Now what one of you big bastards are going to carry me"
 
  I splutter and cough and Isla runs past me and grabs her
 
  "I call her she's perfect, babe I'm taking a child home"
 
  She shouts making me laugh harder Jake appears around a tree wearing a pair of shorts
 
  "Say what now?"
 
  Isla looks at the little girl who has a huge frown on her face, her arms were crossed and here eyebrows in the air
 
  "But I wanted to ride that big bastard there, being carried is no fun"
 
  Islas grin widens and she looks at Jake
 
  "Isn't she perfect, shift she's riding you home"
 
  "Isla that's a real living breathing child, you want us to be parents to her"
 
  "Excuse me, you would be lucky to have me. I'll just go lib somewhere else den"
 
  She shoots her nose in the air with her arms crossed and jake's face splits into a smile
 
  "She's so cute, ok come here"
 
  She smiles looking at him as he approaches them with his hands out and she points to the ground
 
  "I want to ride your wolf pweaseeeee daddy"
 
  I swear the child flutters her eyelashes at him, just how Isla does to him and I swear he melts in a puddle in front of her
 
  "She's amazing, look at her giving him the look already. I'm going to have so much fun teaching her the best pranks"
 
  Ailm says, making me jump in shock, I was so engrossed in watching them that I forgot she was there. Jake shifts and she jumps in Islas arms excitedly climbing on his back and kicking him
 
  "Go go go fast fast fast"
 
  We snort and laugh as Jake takes off like a bat out of hell with a cheering child on his back isla runs after them. The baby coos in my arms and I sigh, grabbing a T-shirt from my bag and wrapping her up in it.
 
  "And what are we going to do with you little miss Eh?"
 
  "I would take her but I'm in the same boat as you and I'm not sure id cope with 2"
 
  I freeze and turn to a beaming Ailm
 
  "Shut up! Congratulations"
 
  "Shhhhh don't tell anyone"
 
  I smile and stand to hug her
 
  "I won't, damn they really take it out of you, I haven't stopped eating or sleeping since I found out"
 
  "So you are then I'm not crazy you are pregnant?"
 
  Ailm asks and i roll my eyes and smirk at her
 
  "Don't pretend you didn't cope on the moment I refused to smoke"
 
  "That was my last smoke I miss it so much"
 
  Ailm adds sadly. Luca walks over yawning then he notices the baby in my arms and he comes to her side smiling
 
  "Who's going to take her?"
 
  I shrug
 
  "Not sure, I mean she's going to stay with us until she finds a family I just hope I don't get attached, 2 kids will be more than enough for me"
 
  "Aw look at it, is it a girl or a boy?"
 
  Dale says looking her over and I grin at him and push the baby into his arms
 
  "Your little girl"
 
  His face falls and he looks at her
 
  "You want me to keep her?"
 
  "If you want yes"
 
  "Greg we got a baby girl"
