"May?" Rafa whispered in shock, eyes widening in the late-night darkness. "You look..." he trailed off.

"Like someone who was forced to Shift alone, in the middle of a forest, because you left me there to

die" I hissed. I was bitter, but I had a damn good reason to be.

"May, listen to me" he pleaded, bleeding heavily from the arrows.

"You will address her as Luna" Chris snapped angrily, voice hard as nails. His dark hair was pushed

back and his pale skin shone with strength in the moonlight. As he spoke, the woman moved slightly.

Chris raised his bow and she froze. "Don't move".

"Listen to them, Mia" Rafa breathed out, cringing in pain. "May has an amazing shot, if she wanted to

kill me she would have done it by now".

"You will address her as Luna" Chris screamed, his voice so loud and powerful that even I was

shocked. I snuck a glance at him out the corner of my eye, and I saw his eyes flashing in an unnatural

way.

"The violence brings out the Wolf" I whispered to myself. Chris was close to his first Shift, had been

even before I left, and I realised that this might just push him over the edge. He would Shift tonight, but

I refused for it to become a Forced Shift. Rafa had done that to me, I would never let that happen to

Chris.

"Look, please, my sister is hurt. Please, we need help" the girl, Mia, cried out. Before I thought of her

as a woman, but closer up I can see she is probably my age possible even slightly younger. I glance

from her to her sister, who lays on the ground.

It's hard to tell the other girls age because of how she looked. Her dark hair was short and pixie like,

and that was the only part of her that could be considered 'girly'. She was tall and muscly, with a

collection of scars across her face. She looked fierce. Even unconscious and bleeding, I wouldn't want

to meet her in a dark alley.

"What happened?" I demanded, keeping my bow poised on Rafa but turning to Mia.

"We were attacked. Kim was stabbed and the knife was covered in Wolf's Bane. She's not healing" Mia

explained. Before I could reply, my phone began going off in my pocket. Chris and I shared a look, All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

before I stepped back and Chris took my position with his bow poised.

I lowered my bow and answered my phone. "We have a situation" I said, knowing it was Seth before I'd

looked or said anything.

"Are you alright?"

"Me? Peachy. But follow my scent into the forest...and maybe call for Dean and the others. Probably

best to get Alpha Parker as well" I admitted.

Seth was silent for a few seconds, but I could practically hear the tension through the phone. "What is

going on?"

"You'll see when you get here" I replied dryly, knowing that if I told Seth that Rafa was here – he'd fly in

like a bull in a china shop. Not something we needed, especially when we needed Rafa alive to help us

find Yemi. "But maybe bring a doctor".

"Doctor?" he growled, hating the not knowing.

"I'm not injured...but someone is".

"Dammit, Mabel. Why the hell are you being so fucking sceptical? You're freaking me out, May".

"Seth, I promise I am fine. I have everything under control. Please, don't freak out".

"I...alright...I'll call the others now. Then I'm coming after you".

"I love you" I whispered to him, aware Rafa and Mia could hear me. But I didn't care – Seth was my

mate and I didn't care if it made me look weak in front of my 'hostages' to be telling my boyfriend that I

loved him.

"I love you more than anything, Mabel" Seth replied, before I hung up. Rafa looked up at me, his brown

eyes shining in the dim lighting.

"Why didn't you tell him I was here?" he questioned. He was going pale – the blood loss was sending

him into shock, he'd pass out soon.

"Because he'd forget all his sense and run here. Then when he saw you, he'd kill you" I deadpanned.

"But I only--"

"Only left his mate to die" Chris cutting him off, glaring in hatred. I knew it was the truth but I tried not to

cringe at the memories. "You're lucky that I haven't put this arrow through your chest myself. However, I

think that honour should go to either May or Alpha Zev". Chris was aggressive and his eyes were filled

with loathing – two emotions I would never have associated with my best friend before that moment.

"Easy" I whispered to my best friend, seeing his eyes flash again. As soon as Seth and the others

turned up, I would leave Rafa and the girls to him and take Chris away. He was about to Shift and I

wouldn't let him be on his own – not like I was. I would be there for him in the way that no one had

been there for me.

"Listen May" Rafa breathed out, entire body shaking as his eyes began to close. I didn't answer him, I

just watched as the blood loss got too much and he fell into unconsciousness. Mia screamed Rafa's

name and dived to his side, Chris readjusted his fingers around his bow but kept his arrow steady. I

glanced over to the girl on the floor, Kim, and was glad to she still wasn't moving but her breathing was

even and normal.

"Stop screaming, he's not dead" Chris snapped at Mia, who was getting hysterical when Rafa wouldn't

open his eyes. Her screaming quietened slightly, just as I heard the heavy footfalls of my mate. I knew

it was Seth almost a full minute before I saw him.

My beautiful, elder, Alpha mate stormed through the forest's vegetation like he was on a mission and

no one better get in his damn way. He was dressed in a pair of casual grey sweatpants and a black

shirt – he was dressed casually, but his high shoulders and his strong face announced to everyone that

he was the strongest Alpha in the country.

"Mabel" he boomed, storming into the clearing. I could hear the sounds of approaching reinforcements

in the distance. His bright blue eyes took in the scene, before they flared with anger. I lowered my bow

and ran over to Seth. I had to push my hands onto his chest to stop him from lunging into action.

"We need him alive. We need to find out what he knows about Yemi and the other Yellowstone Wolves"

I pleaded with him.

"He is a traitor to his Pack and you were hurt because of him" Seth growled out. He was looked straight

ahead, glaring at Rafa, as I stared up at him. I was too short to catch his eye, so I forcefully grabbed his

chin and brought his sightline down to me.

"We need the information from him" I said slowly, hands holding Seth's jaw as I stared into his angry

eyes. "After that, it is your decision for his punishment". There was a heavy moment as Seth just stared

at me intently. "Seth" I whispered, urging him to take my advice. Finally, he nodded.

"Go home please. Right now, I need you safe". He whispered so quiet that I almost didn't hear him. I

nodded softly, before I dropped his face. "Mabel, please, go" he urged, voice still soft but I didn't dare

argue.

"Chris come on, we're going" I called, stepping away from my mate. My best friend hesitated for a few

moment, as other Wolves – from both packs – reached the clearing, before Chris lowered his bow. We

both gave Rafa and the two girls one last look, before walking back into the forest.

"You're about to Shift" I said to Chris, as we headed back towards the shooting range.

"Yeah" he muttered, voice hoarse and deep. "Don't feel too good".

We quickly put our bows and arrows back, locked up the shooting range, before I pulled Chris towards

the guest house. He was breaking a sweat and by the time we got to the house, his Shift was

beginning. "I'm scared, May" he breathed out, collapsing into the garden as I opened the doors.

"Don't worry I'm here" I promised him, reached out and clasping his hands. He looked up at me, eyes

swarming with tears, as he took deep breaths. "I don't want to be alone, May. Promise me you won't

leave me".

"Don't need to promise you anything" I replied with a sad smile, "you know I'll never leave you".
