Celeste's POV I yanked Xavier's hand, pulling him back to me. He woke up at about four in the morning but I hadn't slept at all. I stayed up, thinking, I couldn't stop thinking. The things that could happen good and bad. The things I could do here. I know that I probably won't sleep. Not without Xavier. Lycer will be here but that will only make me worry more. It will remind me that Xavier could end up going through what Lycer went through. In the end I tried to ignore my thoughts, all of them having turned morbid. Instead, I stared at Xavier. His sharp jaw, tanned skin, his soft brown hair, his lips. All of it. I tried to remember every detail. I needed to remember, knowing I wouldn't see him for awhile. "You know I'm going to come back, right? Please don't be so worried." I nodded at Xavier and he pulled me closer. I held onto his shirt, my hands holding the fabric so tightly I could feel my knuckles turning white. I inhale his scent of coconut and rain, making me want to

Zay's POV I stared around at the pack. Everyone was rushing around, trying to do whatever they could. Those who couldn't fight went to the shelters while everyone else tried to find weapons or something that could help them in battle. Even those who fight mainly in wolf form knew weapons could help. At this point, anything could help. My eyes dart to a blonde woman with purple highlights and a baby in her arms running towards me. "Lesa! What are you doing out here? Get inside!" Lesa was a great and gifted fighter, especially in human form. Her dad had taught her well but she wouldn't be fighting today. Her only job today would be to protect her son. "I was out visiting a friend when the sirens sounded. I got here as fast as I could." Wesley started to cry in her arms, his pale cheeks turning red. She cooed him and bounced him, trying to calm him down but the sirens that were still going off weren't helping. His hearing was a bit sensitive after all. "Well either go to my o

Lycer's POV I look around from the roof of the pack house. I can't tell who is winning this battle. They have more casualties than we do but they have so many people. No, they're not people. They're not even werewolves anymore. They're just experiments. In the end, no one is truly going to win I think. A bright blue light starts to come from one side of the yard and I quickly turn around to see what it is. Kaleshia is on the ground, a blue barrier seeming to surround her as she holds something in her arms. No, someone. I squint my eyes and anger surges through me when I see that it's Zay's non-moving form. I quickly go back to doing what I was doing before, looking for Malum. I spot Xavier who I knew was doing the same thing. He shakes his head, telling me he hasn't seen him either. I described what he looks like so Xavier can at least guess, not to mention he'd be one of the only ones to look normal who isn't from his pack. There might be a few experiments who look kind of

Celeste's POV Xavier had me stay in our room while the pack was cleaned up. He didn't want me to see them burning the experiments bodies. That didn't stop the smell that drifted into the room. I just grabbed all of the scented candles that I have in the bathroom for when I want to relax and lit all of them. It wasn't exactly pleasant but it wasn't as bad as the smell of burning bodies. I turned on the television as I tried to ignore the sounds of the large fire that was going on not too far from the balcony. I wanted the memory of this fight gone. Everyone did. Jared seemed over protective of Zay now. It was understandable of course. His sister had died, like actually died. I remember his screams when he saw her. Everyone was devastated. I couldn't even look at her but Jared was the most heart broken, perhaps second next to Kaleshia. Thanks to Kaleshia though, she is back. Kaleshia says she is immortal now but that it was the only way she could save her. I don't know how Zay
