Chapter Six

When I chased after Abby, I saw the child. Oh no, it's Layla her sister. I see Layla being dragged by her hair by a filthy rogue. When Abby jumped to grab the rogue dragging her sister, I heard a loud BANG. Abby hit the ground nipping at her leg. She had been shot by a silver bullet. Freyja and I were seeing red, Abby is family, she has helped us so much being here, and they shot her. They were trying to kidnap Layla an innocent little girl. 

I do not know what took over us, but we jumped into action in my human form. We jumped to Abby to check on her. "Raylynn, please help Layla help my sister." I nodded to her showing I was going to do just that. I stood seeing two rogues surrounding Abby, and one holding Layla by her hair. The two by us were in wolf form. The fur was matted and some missing, their stench was purely awful. The one holding Layla was tall built but did not hold a stench as the rest. I was beyond confused if he had a pack why was he doing this. Then he spoke, "This does not concern you, bitch. Runoff and tell your Alpha his little sister needs his saving." I do not know why but him speaking of their Alpha made a vicious growl emerge from deep within, my claws elongated and my k-9's pushed through. "Oh, so you think you are brave, Finish them, boys."

The two wolves jumped to attack but they were in for a surprise. The first one was careless ran and jumped at me in mid-air trying to finish quickly I ran toward him and slid under his belly scraping my claws from his chest to his back leg. His blood drenched my body and his body landed with a thump, dead on impact with the ground. The second wolf growled angrily seeing his fallen comrade. I smirked seeing it was now two to one. As Abby told me never underestimate your opponent.

The second wolf is pacing back and forth. He was a bit smarter trying to look for any weaknesses of mine to benefit from. We began running at each other, I heard Layla whimper at this sight which caught me off guard. The wolf swung his paw and connected with my left eye. Then the warmth of my blood slowly falls from my brow. I shook it off and punched him right in the snout hearing a loud crunch knowing I broke his nose. He was quite strong and strategic. He kicked my leg out from me and went to jump and quickly I rolled out of the way. As we began throwing punches and claws, someone grabbed me by my hair and sling me backward. I landed hard knocking the air out of me. I felt a few ribs crack in that motion.

 When I went to get back up, he kicked me in the head. My vision begins to blur but I saw a huge silver wolf run towards the rogues. It was a slaughter. In seconds, the silver wolf had the rogues laying at his paws. The wolf stalked back to me. I looked into his icy blue eyes as my vision slowly began to darken, I felt the feeling I was sure was never to come. I let out a faint whisper that only those close enough to me could hear. "MATE." With that I let the darkness consume my body like it did when I was back at the old pack.

LUCIANS POV

I knew the rogue we caught on our land was my mate. I was trying to keep my distance, but Lucifer was not liking all the distance. After speaking with Abby, I knew we could not scare her and be the reason she chose to stay. She needed to make that choice on her own. During the bonfire, I decided I should keep my distance from the pack because she would catch my scent and she would follow it. Sleeping across the hall from her was risky enough. I saw her at the bonfire in the distance making conversation with the pack. She was so pure, sweet, loving. She was perfect in my eyes. 

Suddenly, our alarms sounded. Within seconds I shifted into my wolf. Beta Andrew by my side, we headed to the right where the motion alarms were triggered. There were only a few and the warriors had them under control. Then Lucifer entered my thoughts, "Lucian this doesn't feel right. Why would there only be a few rogues knowing how strong our pack is?" he was right before I could answer I heard a loud BANG. Gunfire, I turned and saw Andrew in pain which could only mean Abby. I ran as fast as we could frantically searching. Finally, I saw Abby, Andrew ran to her side. Then I saw a dead rogue and Raylynn on the ground barely moving and Layla laying by a rogue crying. I saw red and let lucifer take over. He killed them quickly and without mercy. We slowly walked back to Raylynn who was looking right into our eyes. When I approached, I heard the faintest whisper, "Mate" and then she was out.

 I mind linked the doctors, 'Pack doctor two of them now.' It was not long before the pack doctors arrived one took Abby who was shot in the upper thigh. When they reached for Raylynn, Lucifer let out a deep growl. 'Lucifer, they have to take her, let's run, and then we will come back, and you can watch over her, Okay?' He turned and ran to the woods giving them enough time to look her over. Then Andrew entered my mind, 'Alpha, Abby will be fine. Also, Raylynn is stable and still unconscious. You can sit with her now.' Quickly we ran to the pack hospital and made our way to her room following her scent. They had put two of the hospital beds together so there was room for me. Andrew must have let them know. Still, in wolf form, we got into the second bed and laid our head on her thigh watching over her and making sure no one can harm our mate. I know she can't hear us in wolf form but 'I promise to never let anyone ever harm you, or anything bad to ever happen to you Raylynn, our mate.' With that, we fell asleep with lucifer form nothing will get past us.
