(Jackson's POV)
Red eyes. I hate those red eyes. Red eyes of a wolf means that they are a Rogue and if I could I'd wipe all off them of the planet.
"Alpha, rogues have crossed into the territory." A warrior mind-linked me.
"Attention all pack members, Rogues have been seen in the territory." I mind-linked the whole pack
Brandon came down stairs as I was rushing out of the house
"Dad wait up I'm coming with you." he said
"No, stay with your sister and watch over her." I ordered him
I rushed out side and shifted in to my black wolf.
Those bastard will not leave our territory alive- Axle said
Agreed- I said.
As I ran towards where the Rogues were last seen I came across two of them. I quickly ripped them apart and started smelling around for any other scents to make sure I got them all.
10 mins later I just caught the scent of another rogue near the direction of Jade's house just as Brandon mind-linked me with something that made my heart stop.
"Dad, It's Ayla, she's gone."
"What do you mean gone?" I said frantically
"She had another nightmare and woke up wanting Cassie, I told her to go back to sleep I went to check on her again and she's gone. There are no other scents in the house but hers. I think she's trying to go to Cassie's."
"Damn it!" I growled and took of towards Jade's house with Gabe on my tail as I caught Ayla's fresh scent along with the most mouthwatering scent I've ever smelled before and then I heard it, Ayla's scream followed by gun shots.

(Cassie's POV)
Sitting on the back porch I heard movement towards the tree line near where the 4 wheeler path is that Brandon and Ayla use, then Fenix took off towards the sound. I ran towards it as soon as I saw what it was, Ayla in her pajamas crying and clutching a teddy bear. Just as I reached her I heard growling, but it wasn't coming from Fenix. An ugly brown mangy looking wolf with missing patches of fur and red eyes came out of the bushes and started stalking towards us. I love animals and have even helped a hurt bear and a hurt wolf once before, but those red eyes, I know what those mean. This thing was rabbit and vicious and would kill anything in front of it. I grabbed Ayla and put her behind me, Fenix was in front of us growling and trying to get the wolf to go away. He lunged at Fenix and flung him into a tree, I heard him whimpering and knew he wasn't dead, just hurt. Then the wolf started stalking towards us, I looked back at Ayla and whispered "No matter what happens you run, straight into the house, lock the door and wake Jade up. Understand?" She shook her head Yes. "Now!" I said as she turned to run the wolf lunged for her, but I got in his path with my left arm up and my right hand on my side arm. He bit into my arm and as we started to fall on the ground I brought my hand gun up and shot him twice in the head. I dislodged my arm from his mouth and held it close to my chest as I felt little arms wrap around my neck from behind me. I turned to look and it was a shaking Ayla. Alya turned her head and was looking at something so I turned around and pulled her onto my lap just as a man came into view.

(Jackson's POV)
As I ran towards Jade's house I stopped just before being seen. Ayla was being held by the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. In front of them was a rogue dead and a few feet away a dog was whimpering. The woman was bleeding and I became in raged at the thought of her being hurt, so I quickly shifted and pulled on some shorts handed to me by my Beta.
I walked out to where they could see me and Ayla looked up at me. The woman looked to where Ayla was looking and we locked eyes and one word ran through my head from Axle that I thought I would never get the pleasure of hearing "MATE".
