Aiden and i are surrounded with the rouge wolves that have been slowly moving in from the back of the Forrest for the last few minutes. I can feel Aiden's unease.
"What's the matter Aiden? Scared?"
"Hardly, just deciding the best way for me to kill you."
"Tsk i thought i raised you better than that. Can''t you see we have a chance to rid the pack of the weaklings once and for all! We can build an army that no one could ever hope to contest!"
"What you are saying his you want to kill innocent pack members that don't live up to your sick level and start war with every pack that comes into your path! It's suicide and you know it! What would mom say if she could see you now? She would be rolling over in her grave after seeing what you've become."
"Your mother was f*****g weak. And the fact that she is dead proves just that. I think it is time to teach you a lesson son."
Before either of us could see it coming one of the rouge wolves came up behind Aiden and pinned him to the ground while his father wrapped his hands around my throat. I was clawing at him knowing my life depended on getting out of his grasp. It was getting harder to breathe his hand squeezing tighter as the seconds flew by. I could see Aiden trying to get up and help me but one of the other rouges came over to help keep him down. f**k I can't shift either, never have before and i know Scarlet is still to weak. Our connection to each other isn't strong enough. Jason's attention came back to me and gave me a smile that made all the blood drain from face.
"DON'T YOU f*****g TOUCH HER!"
"Looks like he is mad. Just not strong enough to come help you. Is he?"
I stop moving while he continues to choke the life out of me, my whole vision starting to black and lose conscious. Before i did full black out Jason through me across the way with my body slamming directly into the middle of a tree. I instantly had the wind kicked out of me and it was hard for me to breathe.
"You are f*****g pathetic. I should have killed you when i had the chance, if i had none of this s**t would have happened. Aiden would be so blinded by the curse of the mate bond and would be by my side ready to take the pack to the next level."
He slowly walked over to me while i was still gasping for air, praying that if he is to kill me right here and now that it would be quick.
He pulled me up by my hair and began to punch me in the stomach over and over again until he stopped. He looked up and stared into the distance before throwing me back down on to the floor. As soon as i dropped down i felt his foot connect with my face leaving me lying on the ground bloody and broken.

All i could do was watch as Evie was being tortured by the man i call father. I have never felt so much anger before today as my heart shatters at the sound of Evie in pain. Before i could break free of the two mutts that have me pinned down my father drops Evie and kicks her in face, which makes her roll over and stop moving.
"Well son it looks like this is all we have time for today. I was going to kill her quick and blame it on a pack of wolves but it seems like this will do just fine. After i kill her i will kill you. Your to weak to ever understand why this is all necessary. She will pull you down and make you weak just like your mother did to me."
"What are you saying? Are you saying you had something to do with her death?'
"Hmph maybe. But you will never know, you will be following her very shortly."
The two goons are distracted and i finally break free and shift mid jump trying to subdue my father. But one of his rouges jumped in front of him and took the hit. I broke his neck in an instant and spat out his lifeless body before my father. He didn't even flinch.
Jackson had finally come in to view with about 8 pack members trailing shortly behind him. They were covered in blood, hopefully none of it was his. My father backed away calling out for the rouges that came with him to retreat.
"I guess i will leave it her for today Aiden. But just remember this is merely a warning of what is to come. Goodbye and believe me when i say i will be back in no time at all."
My father shifted and began to run deep in the Forrest. I began running after him when a couple of rouges stood between me and as my father kept running. Just as Jackson and the rest of the wolves were just a few meters away the two rouges ran off into the woods catching up with my father.
The boys ran past me hoping to catch them before the got to far in.
Stop! We don't know how many rouges he has working for him or how many are here with him now. We will regroup at the pack house and think of our next moves there. I said through the mind-link. They all stopped and bowed there heads to me as we ran back to check on Evie.
She is alive and breathing but she is healing extremely slow for a wolf. She is still healing faster than a human but not by much. I shift back and scoop her in my arms and carry her bridal style, as we all ran back to the pack house.
I look down at her and she seems to have fallen unconscious. Hopefully the damage looks worse than what it actually is.
We finally reach the house and Melissa was already waiting for us, I mind-linked her giving her the gist of what has happened. I lay Eve down on the bed as Melissa begins to examine her from head to toe.
"She is fine Alpha. She might have a mild concussion and looks like 1 or 2 broken ribs. But what is concerning me is how fast she is healing. When was the last time she shifted?"
"I don't know. I don't know to much about her but she didn't shift at all in the last 24 hours."
"Alright, i have given her some medicine through an IV to help with the pain just in case she isn't fully healed by the time she wakes up. But Alpha if she doesn't wake up in the next few hours bring her to me at the hospital for further examination."
I simply nod and walk over on bed next to Evie, thinking what my next move is going to be. Whatever we do we need to do it quick before my father gathers any more rouges and becomes even more dangerous than he already is.
I lie down next to her and just stare at the ceiling as i listen to her breathe in and out. What the f**k am i going to do now? My father has to be put down and i just hope i can do it before anyone else gets killed. If my father had been serious back there and didn't play any games with us, Evie would be dead right now. And just the thought of that scares the s**t out of me.
