I hear footsteps, then a small whimper from Kennedy. "Listen here you human trash. I am an alpha''s daughter, which is more than you can say...''


    "And, yet I am mated to the most powerful alpha around and you are mated to a rogue." Another p, hardenought to gain a grunt. "Your dad clearly wasn''t any better as a father than as


    an alpha. Seeing how sh*tty of a person you turned out to be." I am frozen. I should go in and help my mate, but she ns on betraying me, has betrayed me already.


    "My father only lost his pack to Ryker in a fluke.


    But that doesn''t matter. Ryker is mine. You will die and I will be the Luna of the Dark Moon pack." My stomach drops, but I hold my ground. I can''t let her win anymore. She won''t be my downfall. I breathe deep as a rogue, but I can do one redeeming thing before Ryker rips me limb from limb. I start forward...


    A blood curdling scream rips through the air and I run for the door to the tent. Before


    I can grab it a blur of brown hair pushes past me and doesn''t stop to look at what she collided with. I don''t feel a thing as I watch her run. It''s like my emotional cord has been cut. Even my wolf is still as she retr blonde hair and


    blue eyes are looking around, but she isn''t scared, she''s calcting. She steps out tentatively, I''m not sure why, the


    screams and sounds of fighting will cover her escape.


    "I was wondering if you would figure out they didn''t bind your legs.” She jumps,nding in a defensive pose. Don''t worry I have no intention of


    hurting you." I have my hands out in surrender.


    "What''s going on?" She asks as another scream permeates the air.


    ((


    "Your mate hase for you." I can''t put any emotion into my words. I should be scared


    or angry or something, but I just feel broken.


    "Why aren''t you fighting?"


    "Why aren''t you running?"


    "Because I don''t think you''ll hurt me. I don''t think you ever meant to hurt me. I don''t understand why


    I am really here." She steps closer to me, like a friend. I do not deserve her friendship after everything here.


    "I wanted my mate, and I was hoping you would be the key. But, it appears that I have been yed." I shrug. None of


    this was for me to prove that I am worthy enough. It was


    all to get you separated from your alpha. We did all the work for her." I close my eyes and let the sadness wash over me, just once. This little luna makes me feel safe and I don''t deserve it. Safe andfortable and loved are not things I will get in this life.


    "I''m sorry Finn." More pity. Why does she care?


    "You didn''t do this, she did. I just don''t know what to do. I am a warrior not an Alpha, I don''t want to be an Alpha. I don''t want anyone else hurt though."


    “I can help stop this, but you need to get me to Ryker, now!" She holds out her wrists silentlymanding.


    This I can give her, her


    pack and mine before I die. I take one breath in and let it out with a swipe of my w to cut


    her bindings.


    "It''s time to see if you are as good as everyone says, Luna."


    She takes off and I follow behind.


    "I can feel him that way." She shouts pointing in the direction of the camp where there seems to be the mostmotion.


    We run and dodge people. There are at least a hundred people in my pack fighting off countless warriors from Dark Moon. This is going to be a massacre if I can''t stop it now.
