Aleka's pov

I reached the pack border,

there was a deadly silence over here and I feared that maybe I was too late.

I took a step further but I felt something wet my shoes.

What I saw made me freeze in my tracks.

There was a pool of blood on the ground but that was not it ,

I turned to my left to see something like hell

Dead bodies lying everywhere

Blood on every step

Children ,women,warriors all lying dead on the ground

Fear engulfed me

I continued to take small shaky steps further

In front of me was a circle of people

Warriors were standing near them with their swords daring them to move or do anything.

As I approached the circle everyone turned around to look at me

Their eyes held the fear of death unlike me

I am not afraid to die

I know it will come to me eventually

I am just afraid of something happening to him

The guards on seeing me grabbed me by my arms and took me inside the circle

Their swords touching my neck ,daring anything against them.

The emotion I feared the most was now getting on surface

My anger

Anger was what I felt when I saw

Dan lying on the floor in his own blood

His chest was moving up and down but his eyes were struggling to stay open.

On my right stood Emma with her eyes fixed on Dan

A guard was holding her from behind stopping her from struggling

And there near her leg was Angela

Body Trembling with fear

Eyes red from crying

Her eyes met mine and the one thing I saw in them was

Hope

Hope that i'll protect everyone like I protected her before

Raindrops started falling

In front of me stood the 2 backstabbers hugging each other

Behind them on the ground I saw something I feared the most

Something which broke my soul in so many pieces that my eyes got closed automatically unable to see this

A thunder could be heard depicting the anger of my wolf

Aaron was there

Covered in so much blood that even an inch of his skin was not visible

The raindrops were washing away the blood but I also knew they would be hurting his wounds like stinging needles.

His body was motionless

As if feeling my stare his head turned to look at me

Our eyes met and I was thanking moon goddess

Thanking her for keeping him alive

His baby blue eyes were portraying all his emotions

Pain,happiness,fear and that one thing which I yearned for each day of my life

His

Love

My anger got intensified when I saw teardrops in his eyes

I have never seen him cry before but today seeing his like this
