*Meet me in Greyson's office,* Indianna said.

"Is something wrong?" Laura asked.

"I don't know," Indianna frowned. "I've got to go."

"Take the food!" Laura said sternly, but smiled at Indianna.

Indianna nodded and made her way to Greyson's office where Ace was on the phone.

"How's it going?" She asked and Ace shook his head.

"Not good."

Indianna took a seat in Greyson's chair and held her hand out for the phone. "Janson," she said once Ace passed it to her.

"Indie?" Jason's voice came through. "Indie, he's got us surrounded. He's starving us out."

Indianna paled. "What?"

"Rogue has men surrounding my pack. No one can get through," Janson explained. "I don't know what to do."

"Surrender," Indianna said meekly. "It's all you can do."

"No! There has to be some other way."

"I've spoken to Rogue. The only way for everyone to survive is for you to surrender. Give him control."

"Indianna, I cannot do that!"

"You have too!" Indianna protested. "Or you'll loose everything."

"I can fight."

"We tried to fight," Indianna said quietly. "The consequences are great. Janson, Rogue has promised to let you live if you surrender."

"I can't just give up. It's not in me to just bow down and give up."

"It wasn't in Greyson to do that either and look what happened!" Indianna snapped and took a deep breath. "S-sorry. I just don't want anyone else to loose their lives."

"Olivia is calling me, I've got to go," Janson said. "I'll think about it, Indie."

"Good luck," Indianna whispered and put the phone down.

"He'll do it," Ace said. "He has too."

Indianna shifted on the chair. "I hope so," she murmured and picked up her plate of food and forced a few mouthfuls down.

She had been careless. She hadn't been eating properly. She was being selfish. It wasn't just her she had to think about anymore.

"I've sent people out to search the grounds," Harry said and barged into the office, his hand wrapped firmly around Brooke's. "We need to know how the wolf slipped through our defences."

"Wolf? What wolf?" Ace asked.

"Harry saw an unknown wolf on the east border," Indianna explained.

"Did you catch a scent?"

"I didn't recognise it," Harry said.

"It was just standing there," Brooke said. "Just watching."

"Did it seem... dangerous?" Indianna asked.

"No," Brooke said.

"Doesn't mean that it isn't," Harry snapped. "Who's on east border security tonight?"

"Oscar and his team," Ace said and sighed. "We will need to have a word with them. They let a wolf get onto our territory."

"What do we do if we can't find the wolf?" Indianna asked.

Ace frowned. "I... I don't know."

"We're falling apart without Greyson," Indianna murmured and ran her hand down her face. "We're kidding ourselves if we think we can do this."

"We can do it," Ace said.

"We've managed for this long and now we've got Ace back," Harry said. "Stop giving up when things get tough, Indianna."

"Harry," Brooke said softly. "Be considerate."

"Being considerate isn't going to help," Harry snapped and Indianna sighed when the phone rang.

"Yes?" She said tiredly once she picked it up.

"Luna?"

"Yes?"

"It's Jane," the woman said and Indianna remembered the woman who had taken Ellie in.

"Hi, how's Ellie?" Indianna asked, missing the teenager that Indianna had helped welcomed into the pack after her awful upbringing.

"I... Luna... she's gone," Jane said, her voice cracking. "Franklin and I have searched all over. When we looked in her room just now there was a note."

Indianna sucked in a breath. "A note from who?"

Indianna knew the answer.

"Rogue."

Indianna looked up at everyone in the room. It was so quiet that even Brooke overheard the conversation.

"Rogue said something about a punishment," Brooke whispered and edged closer to Harry. "This can't be it... could it?"

"Forget the search for the unknown wolf, we need to find Ellie. The last time Rogue kidnapped one of us, they died," Indianna said and stood up. Everyone stiffened at the thought of Martha.

Harry was right. She couldn't give up when things got tough.

She was the Luna.

She had to be strong.

As strong as she could be.

    Indianna forced a smile. "I would never."Greyson chuckled. "Are you not eating any more, sugar?"Indianna stared down at the food on her plate, feeling full. She had taken a lot more food than she could manage to consume. She shook her head.Greyson turned to his sister. "Has she actually eaten a decent breakfast?""Greyson, I've eaten!" Indianna argued.Kirstie rolled her eyes. "Trust your mate, you dick. She ate enough for a whole family.""Great. In that case." Greyson took Indianna's plate from her and sat down between the two girls, tucking into the remains of Indianna's breakfast."We better get organised," Mac said, running his hand along Kirstie's thigh. "We gotta a lot of men to get today.""No rest for the wicked," Kirstie sighed and jumped up from the floor. "Let's go tear down Rogue's empire, lover."Mac chuckled and let Kirstie pull him up from the floor. "Let's do this.""You know," Oscar said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stood up with Kirstie and Max , "you'd think th

    DAY ONEIndianna was woken by Kal's snores, they were soft, but she had been struggling to sleep the whole night and now all she could focus on was Kal's heavy breathing. She sighed and turned over, trying to get comfortable which was rather hard with her bump. She was now looking at Greyson as he slept. He seemed so peaceful. His face was so calm and serene, she wished that he didn't have to wake up to the hell they were in.Greyson's eye twitched and Indianna knew that he was no longer asleep. He reached out, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest, resting his chin on her head and one hand on her stomach. *It's early, sugar, you should be asleep, not perving on me while I sleep.*Indianna chuckled slightly. *Sleep doesn't come easily these days.**Try,* Greyson pleaded. *It's 2am. You need your rest.**So do you.**I'm fine. I'm swapping watch duty with Oscar soon anyway.*The rest of the previous day was spent waiting anxiously for Oscar, Kirstie and Mac to ret

    "Please don't call yourself that," Indianna said."It's true. I can't be trusted-""Would a monster feel remorse?" Indianna asked, cutting Tai off. "Do you think Rogue feels remorse over his actions?""That is different-""You are not a monster, Tai," Indianna insisted. "You didn't do what you did on purpose. As you said, you lost control. What happened has happened, it can't be taken back. The only thing we can do now is focus on the present. Tai, will you help us now?"It was a few moments before Tai acknowledged that Indianna had spoken. She pursed her lips and gave one sharp nod. "I need to wash this blood off of me," she said and turned on her heel and disappeared into Indianna's room.Indianna made her way to Greyson's room next. The scent of him surrounded her when she entered and she closed her eyes, caressing her bump. She didn't want to go without him. Indianna swallowed the lump in her throat and changed out of the clothes she had been wearing for dinner. Once she was in sw

    "If I'd have known that talking to Brooklyn would change your mind then I would have suggested you do that as soon as you started to disagree with me."Indianna scowled at Greyson who smirked at her as she approached him. "Shut up."Greyson reached out and took Indianna's hand, pulling her towards him. "Thank you," he murmured."I'm still annoyed," Indianna grumbled and looked down at her feet, glaring."Hey." Greyson took Indianna's chin and tilted her head up. "Please don't be. You're keeping yourself and our children safe. That's the most important thing. Don't scowl at me, sugar.""You're important."Greyson smiled and kissed Indianna's forehead affectionately. "God, I love you, woman."Karl suddenly yelled from across the room. "They're here! Fucking hell, you took your time, lads! It's not like we're waiting for a psychopath to come and kill us or anything!""You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you?" Harry groaned, but made his way over to where Kal was now standing, over t

    "Just me," Greyson croaked. "You know it's the smart thing to do. There's no point in slaughtering a whole pack.""You think I care about how many people I have control over? Do you think I care about that when my mate is lying dead in my arms!" Rogue roared. He threw Greyson to the side, kicking him onto the floor. "You will all die! I will kill you all for what you have done. None of you will live to see next week." Rogue looked down at Stacey and brushed her hair away from his face, smiling down at her. "Everything I will do to this pack will be for you, my love," he whispered. "I promise, I will make them suffer." He then walked towards the woods, not looking back at the pack. "If any of them try to leave, break their legs! I want them alive, for now!" Was the last thing Rogue said to his men before he disappeared. The rest of his men remained, but they retreated into the trees, out of sight, still there, but watching.The silence that followed next was deafening. No one said a wo

    Nothing she could possibly say would help."Your pack killed my mate. SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU. OF YOUR PACK! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!" His yells echoed in the woods surrounding them. "You..." He whispered. "You are going to pay."Indianna was too stunned to speak. She was vaguely aware of Greyson putting himself between her and Rogue, but that didn't stop Indianna from staring at her brother who looked ferocious.His eyes were dark, teeth bared, face red and he was spitting blood when he spoke. "You, little sister, are going to suffer. Your pathetic mate can't protect you. Your pack. No one. You are no different from our parents. I thought I could change you. Make you into a version of yourself that I could be proud of. Oh, how I was wrong.""J-Jason," Indianna stuttered, her words barely audible. "I didn't want this to happen-""I don't want your fake pity!" He roared and Indianna flinched. "I don't want lies! I want revenge!"*Sugar, you know I will die before I let him get to you.*H
