Ralliel Everlin.

"Please, you don't understand, we were forced to—." Before the mewling man finished his rather distasteful plea to live, I tore off his head with my claws, across from me where the sixth building was four more men, hunters, came out running and I gunned them all down, several more shots came from above the building from my wolves just to make sure they were dead.

I walked forward kicking away the severed head at my feet and walking into the wooden log built building, it was three stories high but what called out to me wasn't above, it was below. "Please do— don't kill me." She cowered behind what seemed to be a receptionists desk, I'm sure she had hid herself all the while thinking we had simply forgotten her, no we had just liked her to beg for mercy a little before an exploding dart was shot between her eyes and her head was blown to pieces, how beautiful.

I kept walking through the lobby until I got to a set of double metallic doors, four dead hunters on either side, one still had his eyes open, breathing faintly. "Resilient." I praised kneeling to face his dull blue eyes. "Thank you for wasting your life." I tell him and his breathing comes in short, hyperventilating as he died but my claws made it swift and put him out of misery.

Pushing the double doors open I was met with the stench of dead men, blood and wolfsbane, I pushed through it going down the set of stairs until I finally arrived at another set of double doors, these were torn off their hinches, but that's not what took my attention. Huddled around Webster were my wolves, all freed from what were large cells around the lab that was in middle, treated like animals and it broke my heart, because it wasn't just humans responsible, it was a wolf.

A gasp caught my attention, and three familiar pairs of eyes turned to meet mine, I froze, all the while that I had been fighting, killing, they were at the forefront of my mind and now I faced them, bloody but seemingly in better shape. "London, is that you." Emmy was the first to speak up, his soft voice making my heart ache. "Its me my love." I reply feeling his body crashing into mine. "London!" Maisey and Darryn both yell crashing onto me and I fell to my knees, we were all crying now.

"Are you hurt?" I asked my sister, and she shook her head squeezing tighter in our hug. "We thought we'd never see you again." Darryn cried harder and so did all of us. "I would always come for you, I promised didn't I, I would never fail you." I cried clutching onto my siblings, my family, it was a relief to know they were okay, that they were safe, though I knew they had mental scars from this experience, they would be just fine.

"I'm never ever letting you out of my sight my littlest warrior." I told the youngest of us, Emmy, who nodded, puffy red eyes and all. "Oh I love you guys." I tried to control the tears but I was overwhelmed, I couldn't hold them back, the relief of knowing they were safe, they were now in my arms, I could protect them. "Is Lucy okay?" Maisey asked. "Yeah, he's back home, I'm sure he'll be awake soon and he'll be waiting for us." I tell her, in turn telling the other two.

"What about dad and papa." Emmy murmured, his eyes teary again. "I don't know yet, but I have a very good friend of mine who is looking for them okay, I'm sure he'll find them." I answer and it was sufficient enough to keep up their hopes and mine too, I had faith in Andreas, he was my mate, he would come through, I just knew it.

"Okay, lets help everyone out of here okay." I tell the older two who nod and leave my side going to help the others but I carry Emmy in my arms, his head on my chest, when my parents had him they hadn't expected to even be pregnant again but with my parents its always a surprise, Emmy the littlest one and attached to me like crazy, I couldn't complain though, I was attached to Luca like a crazy person.

I waited for Webster who was helping everyone out until the very last wolf who had to be carried out because the bones in his left leg had been shattered, I didn't wait to hear the whole story from Webster because my anger would spike again, so we made our way out of the building, a few more wolves who arrived in vans ran out to assist their kin, others made their way inside and came out with what I was sure to be hard drives, we needed all the information we could get, it was a smart move.

More wolves poured out from the sixth building and they were in worse shape, what crushed my heart were the six body bags that came out of that building, it could've easily been my siblings, it hurt and my wolf was pained for the loss of whoever's brother, sister, friend or parent that was, it gave me the will to want to kill the alpha responsible for this, I was going to tear her to pieces along with her hunters.

"Lets go home." I tell Darryn, Maisey and the wolves all around me, we all boarded the vans that seemed to keep on pouring in, I was in that moment grateful to my dad, he was the one who had created the emergency response protocol, we had never thought one day we might need it but he was adamant and said that we might never need them but its always good to have a back up plan.

I helped my siblings into a van and my wolves who were matted in blood and mud, I could see the resilience in their eyes. "Thank you alpha Ralliel, for coming for us, we had faith." An older wolf spoke as I helped him inside and tears stung my eyes, it was their faith that kept them alive, and I was grateful to Andreas, Bran and the rest of the wolves who had helped me get our kin back. "Thank you but I didn't do this alone, I had help." I spoke up closing the door to the van and it took off.

Several more followed behind us but I knew none of our people were left behind, when we were a distance away the van we were in stopped. "London." Darryn muttered in concern. "Its okay my love, go ahead Webster burn it all down." I replied with the pack link and a tremor made the car shake, everyone looked behind us while I got out and watched the fire rise so high in the sky I knew my little arsonist back home would be crying in joy.

Several more explosions rocked the ground causing a gale to cascade out all the way to us. "Nothing but a crater will be left behind." Maisey stated in a grateful relieved tone and I nodded, heading with her back inside the van where Emmy was attached to my body again, I relished the feeling of holding him, I don't think I would ever sleep for a while without holding him or Andreas.

The vans moved, I mean they sped through the city limits and into the city, I'm sure we had gotten attention because of the many different black vans moving through and around the city but St Maine being as large as it was, I'm sure people ignored it and since it was night time, night life in the city was at its peak, they didn't care, so I just held my siblings close until we all felt the change rather a shift, we were back home, on Ryeland pack lands.

"Papa, dad, I can feel them!" Darryn suddenly cried out and his outburst caused a smile to spread on my face and the driver suddenly sped up even more, I was anticipating, vibrating with expectancy to see my parents, and there they were, we hadn't even gotten out of the van but I could see them through the window when the van screeched to a halt in front of the infirmary.

"Dad, Papa!" My siblings and I cried out jumping out of the van and running toward them. "Oh my children, my babies." Dad cried meeting us halfway and we crashed into him and papa. "Papa, we thought;" Maisey was overwhelmed so she just threw herself at papa crying her eyes out. "Im so glad you're okay." I wept pressing my face into my dad's chest, crying all the pain and sadness away.

We cried for a while, huddled on the ground. "Aren't you forgetting some people." Lucy murmured behind us standing with Bran and and my mate. "My children, you're all alright." Papa cried more pulling all three of them down into our little huddle of crying, it was truly relieving to finally have them back and with my mate too.

After what was an hour of crying, papa and dad took my siblings into the infirmary to get checked, I stayed with Andreas since Bran had gone off to check on his own parents who had been in the city with the others who weren't taken. "Please everyone make sure you get yourself checked in at this infirmary or the other one, if you have any missing wolves you want to report please don't hesitate to do so." I tell my pack whilst handing out water and blankets with my mate.

"Thank you, for saving them, I just— I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't found them." I tried not to cry but it was hopeless. "I finally understood the meaning of family, through you and your family, and I'm sure that from here on out, I will do anything for them." He replied and my heart skipped a beat. "Does that mean you'll stay?" I asked sniffling.

"I don't plan on ever leaving, unless its because I need to get my shit back home but that's not anything to worry about." He chuckled wiping his own tears away. "I'm grateful the Goddess gave me you." I tell him. "Don't steal my line alpha."
