AKIVA

Instantly my claws were out and with all the emotions running through myself and Ki we were looking for their blood. The rogue who had Dylan pinned on the ground was my first target. I ran straight to Dylan, grabbing the rogue by the scruff of his neck throwing him through the air and then I noticed several rogues were now surrounding myself and Dylan. I needed to act quickly he needed a doctor. Maverick and Shawn were unable to lend a hand they had rogue after rogue attacking, this was strategic and planned. I couldn’t focus on Maverick I needed to worry about the dirty mongers in front of us right now.

As one of the rogues’ leaps trying to pin me, I dug my claws straight into his chest cutting as deep and far as I could. He landed in a thump, the second was quick to act. The second rogue went for my legs and the third went for my arms. The more they clawed and bit the more I was seeing red, I couldn’t hold back anymore.

I shifted causing the rogues to stare at us knowing we were rare and usually thought of as a myth. While they were in a daze, I used that as my chance, the rogue closest I took my claws across its throat deep, hearing the rogue gasp for air I knew he would be dead in a matter of seconds. The second rogue went for the attack, and I jumped landing on his back, biting at his neck feeling the bones breaking under my jaw, and the war metallic blood running down my chin and into my mouth, biting harder until the final crack of the neck causing the wolf to go limp in my grasp.

As I threw the dead rogue to the ground and started stalking to the others, I noticed all the rogues have stopped and one came out of the background in human form. If you could picture what pure evil looked like it would be him. Standing at least six foot tall, semi long black hair, dark skin, brown eyes, and a scar going from his left eyebrow across the middle of his nose to his right ear lope. He was chuckling as he approached the field, looking straight into my eyes, causing Maverick to appear by my side and growl at the man across from us. “Easy there boy, your safe for now.” Maverick and I both looked at each other in confusion. “I want to thank you, now my Alpha will be very pleased at what we found.” I shifted back into Micaiah, giving her control.

MICAIAH

What did he mean by that, after shifting he smiled even more? “You know little one, we were here for your mate but now I think our Alpha would rather have you instead. Until next time.” With that he and the other rogues disappeared into the woods. Instantly I looked to Dylan who was already being looked over by a doctor and bitching about it. “I am fine, chill the fuck out and let me go.” At least I know he is in the clear. Shawn took him off and hopefully Shawn goes through with the proposal. As they headed out I stared out to where the evil looking man was once standing, thinking if everything.

Nothing made sense right now about what he said but even before, but how did they get through the patrol, how did they know our strategies, they were way to prepared for us and only meant one thing and I needed to talk to Maverick privately about it. I turned and looked at Maverick, he could tell I wanted to talk to him. We entered his office and he stared at me knowing the situation before us and that things could not go without discussing the prior events. “Listen Maverick, someone is betraying you, they knew way too many of our strategies, and got passed way too many of our patrol to be a fluke.”

He huffed out a large breath, “I agree, I just hate the idea because we have no clue who it could possibly be.” “I know but who was that guy?” “Micaiah, honestly I have no idea, I don’t even know who he works for, why he is after me, or why now he would be after you? This shit just isn’t making any sense.” “We will figure it out Maverick, I promise.” “Let’s head to the balcony and see if Shawn doesn’t wimp out on us and maybe we can fix that relationship between you and Dylan. Then tomorrow when Emma and EJ get back we will discuss everything, okay?” “Okay”.

He smiled his pearly whites at me, and we headed to the balcony hoping the best for Shawn, I knew he was nervous and after today, probably even more nervous. From the distance we seen Shawn and Dylan approaching the romantic area we set for them. They sat and ate, and you could tell Dylan was at ease and not as frustrated as this morning.

Suddenly, Shawn then got up from the table and got on one knee we knew what was happening and were hanging on edge trying to see his answer, we then seen Dylan jumping and screaming happily. We left the balcony to join them and celebrate their engagement, everyone was so happy for them. When we approached them, Dylan looked at me sadly, I didn’t know what to expect when he walked up to me. “Ki bear, I am so sorry for everything this morning. I should have never accused you; you are my sister; my best friend and you would never do that to me. I hope you can forgive me.” “Always Dilly bear.” We hugged it out and I would not let this come between us.

“So, we got some planning to do.” I said to Dylan who was grinning like a boy on Christmas morning. I hugged Maverick and went to spend the rest of the afternoon with Dylan and Cammy to do our early planning. It really wasn’t far Jake, Maverick, and Shawn were in Mav’s office we were in the living room across the hall.

A few hours had passed, we were still planning and sharing ideas, Jake and Shawn had went to training grounds, Maverick was still in his office. Akiva was feeling off for some reason I couldn’t understand anything she was saying and honestly it was starting to give me a headache, finally she spoke clearer ‘Mate, Mate go check on Mate.’ I didn’t question it, she seemed on edge and if this would make her feel better I would do it without hassling her.

I got up and walked toward Maverick’s office, the door was locked, I heard a woman in there doing some weird chanting, it was sending Vee into a frenzy and without doubting her I kicked open the door. Their stood a woman leaning over Maverick who seemed to be in a trance, she looked at me and grinned evilly which sent my stomach in turmoil. It wasn’t long Dylan and Cammy were by my side, “Who are you?” she looked at me and still did not speak. “What are you doing to my mate,” I growled at her, she was doing something to him, and Vee and I was not liking it.

“Calm down little wolf I am healing him,” “he was not injured so why did he need healing.” Cammy spoke firmly and ready to back my every move. “I do not like being threatened or backed into a corner, I think you and I need to talk alone Micaiah.” My eyebrows shot up; how did she know my name? “He will be normal in about five minutes, so I guess we don’t have long.” She began chanting and suddenly with the wave of her palm we were in a different area, no longer with Dylan, Cammy, or Maverick. “Finally, now we need to talk.”

I was completely lost for words I had no idea what was happening, and Vee and I both were worried for Maverick. “Do not fret Micaiah, Maverick is fine. I reversed the curse a witch laid on him.” I stared at her wondering how someone cursed him, “Who?” “A witch I knew long ago, she is not friendly like me at all, she is out for power, and money. She joined a group of rogues not to long ago, with the promise of infinite power.”

I listened to her carefully and felt the truth in her words. She must have sensed the questions running through my head, “I know you have a lot of questions, first my name is Lacey Dawn Messer, I am a pure blood born to the Diosa Protectora, Spanish for goddess protector. As seeing you are a gift from the goddess herself, I am your protector.”

My mouth was gaped open I have no words I just try to take all this information in, but everyone needs to hear this. “Please, lets go back they to need to hear this.” She nodded and with a wave of her hand we were back in Mavericks who is now awake and growling profusely. “Stop, she is not the enemy listen please, Lacey let them know to then please finish and no interruptions please.” “First my name is Lacey Dawn Messer, I am a pure blood born to the Diosa Protectora, Spanish for goddess protector.

As seeing you are a gift from the goddess herself, I am your protector. The witch who put a curse on Maverick is extraordinarily strong and power hungry and is bound to a master, her name is Stella Martinez. She was born to the Cimarron Coven, meaning untamed, wild, and that they are. Maverick was cursed not just to harm him but you Micaiah, she cast a spell they call the kiss of death, if you both would have kissed, you both would have died instantly, as you see being your protector, I could not allow that could I?”

I noticed how beautiful she was, looked so young, she had long curly blondish brown hair, hazel eyes, she was curvy and wore a tight black top, black leggings and a long purple jacket that wrapped her body. I noticed when she went to grab a cup of tea to her right her hair had moved, and I saw something on her neck that shocked me. “Lacey, your neck care to explain.” She took a deep breath and grabbed her necklace, and you could see sadness in her eyes. “I don’t think you or him would be willing to hear that story.” She said pointing at myself and EJ.

“Have either of you wondered why they waited so long to have children after being mated?” EJ and I shared a confused look and turned back to her. “When you were two years old EJ you had an older brother who was kidnapped, his name was Malcolm.

Your mother was injured trying to save him and was told she couldn’t have any more children; you were a blessing. The ones who took him also captured me, Stella and two other witches, the two were later burned alive as a message to us to never disobey. They were training Malcolm to be a killer like them, trying to brainwash him but he fought them every step of the way.

We found out we were mates and they tried to keep us separate but we would sneak around the pull of the bond was strong. He marked me and in that same night he saved me. He wasn’t so lucky they captured him, but he made me promise to keep running and one day come for him.”

Tears fell from her eyes and my heart broke for her, but I was still shocked to find we had another brother who has been a prisoner to these people for years. We needed to save him and any others who is prisoner to these awful people. “Lacey who took you guys, who is behind all this?” She looked at me with such sadness “They call themselves the Diablo Pack lead by Alpha Gavin and his now Beta Malcolm.” She then burst into tears at the sound of her mate’s name who was now one of them. I was so in shock and hurt and confused I just went to my room and laid in bed my mind wheeling from everything and ended up falling asleep wondering, why my family.
