Instead of at the borders, the pack warriers were lined out in front of the pack house. The women, the children were already hidden in the safehouse as Zillon had planned. They had food, water and was told to bring a set of change of clothes.   The opening was hidden among the grass that tainted the land and mask was poured around it, the stronger one that Celia had been talking about, the one that could last for days... The doors were locked from the inside and Celeste held the key in her hands   It was hell to get her to take it, hell to get her to go inside. She had been so adamant on wanting Zillon to come with her. She hadn't seemed so scared before, but it seems the nearer the war drew, the nearer her anxieties drew too.   Tears had drowned her face as though it was a waterfall and she had held him so tight with no aim of letting go. Zillon found it hard to leave her as well, but he had to, didn't he...? &n

Celeste sat on the cold floor, not able to eat a thing, she could hear the noise outside, the growls that sounded so much like screams, the paws that scraped like sharp knives against the dirt... She could hear it all despite the hands that covered her ears. Her sister was out there, her mate, her father and all her friends, and the worry within her would not die. Her heart felt like it was beating in her head, it kept hammering, every beat felt like it would kill her. She had a bad feeling about this, her hands kept shaking, her lips too and tears wouldn't stop running down her eyes. She hated this...she knew people were dying and that was the last thing she wanted. Her eyes kept glancing down at the keys in her lap, she wanted to go outside, she was a Luna, she didn't want to just sit back while everyone died...she's suppose to help and this duty that Xavier and Zillon had bestowed upon her was not considered helping..

Xavier did not see the danger until Celeste was apart of it...a flash of white dwelling in a land of red...On the battlefield, she resided over a scene Xavier never thought he'd be heartbroken over. Zillon laid flat on his side, gasping to so much as breathe, blood coated the fur under his neck and for a moment, Xavier forgot that he was in a fight with an opponent far stronger than him until he was tackled to the ground...His back hit the dirt hard and a grunt left his lips as he tried pushing the wolf that had jumped on to of him off... He had to help Zillon, he had to save Celeste, he had to—Xavier's breath hitched when the alpha king that reigned behind Zillon approached, his eyes fixated on the little white wolf, looking like a mouse under the attack of an overgrown wolf.She didn't even see the attack coming, she didn't even notice his approach, she was too unstable; emotionally and physically...This was no place for a pregnant shewolf and yet Celeste ju

It took four months after the war for the devastation that the pack felt to lessen. Many had died, leaving children, wives, parents, but their efforts were never forgotten..They were all buried at the south side of the borders where their loved ones could go visit them... The pack had lessened drastically, it was no longer second to the Alpha kings's pack, but then again, Zillon did not care.He didn't have time to envy Xavier's pack when he was busy rebuilding his and taking care of Celeste.That night when he had...you know... 'woken from the dead, he got to find out that Xavier wasn't at all his brother, they had the same blood, they were family, but they just weren't brothers...His father has done something so despicable that it had become a sensitive topic for him. He had been there to confess, beaten and bloodied, but still alive.His wolf hadn't been strong enough to retain its form, he had involuntarily changed back into the ski

Zillon sat on the couch when Liam and Fredd tiptoed in. Both had their index finger on their lips and jumped in fright when they saw him."Gosh...I thought that was her...is she sleeping?" Liam whispered."As if Celeste would ever sleep, she'll be down in a minute."Both men instantly spun on their heels. "Well we'll be out in less than a minute...see you later man."They began to tiptoe their way back out, but Celeste walked down the stairs right on time. "Liam! Fredd...?" She grinned.Liam groaned as he stopped to look at her. "Couldn't you have stayed longer?""What do you mean?""It's nothing..." He turned to Fredd, whispering pretty loudly again. "Seeing as the enemy already saw us, let's just stay...when she attacks later, we'll leave."Fredd nodded, him and Liam walking over to take a seat beside Zillon on the couch. "How's it going man? I bet you've been going mad.""Not today, she's been good..
