Anya sat in the Hat Films living room as Smith's screams rattled the flat.
Covering her ears with her hands she curled into a ball, her knees up to her chest.
She felt every bit of pain that Smith was feeling but could do nothing to help.

Lewis knew that he couldn't just take Smith to a hospital, there would be questions, and the pack couldn't afford that with the accusation of wolves being found in the area.
Smith would heal, but they had to remove the bullet from his chest before his wolf side could heal the wound.

It felt like hours before the screaming stopped and by that time Anya lay unconscious on the floor.

Leaving the bedroom where Smith lay, Lewis walked out to see Anya, tears still wet on her face.
"Anya?" He spoke softly placing his hand on her shoulder, gently stirring her. Slowly she sat up and Lewis smiled, "It's done, he wants you by his side".

Nodding but not saying a word Anya stood up and walked over to Smith's bedroom. Entering the room, Anya seen Hannah finishing bandaging Smith's chest as Ross and Trott stood protectively by Smith's side.

"Anya..." Smith croaked seeing Anya at the door, trying to sit up he whined and Hannah pushed him back down, "Stay still, you need to heal".
Growling slightly Smith lay back down but held his hand out for Anya to take in her own.
Sitting on the side of the bed Anya gripped Smith's hand, a single tear running down her cheek.

"Ummm we'll leave you guys alone" Ross said ushering Trott out the door as Hannah followed shutting it behind her, leaving Anya and Smith in peace.

Once the others had left Anya let the tears fall, "I thought I had lost you" she cried as Smith held onto her and smiled, "I'm still here Moon of my life".

Sighing Anya looked into Smith's blue eyes and swallowed back her tears, "I felt everything" she muttered and Smith nodded solemnly, "The joys of a mate link" he then smiled, "I'll never leave you".

Kissing Smith gently on the lips, Anya then glanced down at the bandages that covered Smith's torso.
Seeing his mates discomfort in his injury Smith cupped her chin and pulled her face to face him, "I'm alright, I'm already healing".
"I know, I know" she sighed looking down at her hands.

Smith moved slightly to get more comfortable then groaned, "Thing is, it was like those blasted hunters knew exactly were to find us. Like we were in the centre of the territory, no hunters have ever ventured that far, all the deer are in the meadows".

Feeling a lump gather in her throat Anya cringed, "You don't think they were send do you?" She questioned and Smith shrugged, "Possibly but who would send hunters to our territory... Oh".

Anya stood up and backed up until the wall stopped her, her breathing quick, panic rising.
Beginning to hyperventilate Anya gripped her chest as she couldn't breath.
"He's coming for me, I killed his brother so he's coming for me" she began to repeat, her eyes wide with fear.

"HANNAH!" Smith shouted as Anya began to have a full on panic attack.
Hannah burst into the room closely followed by Ross and Trott.

"What? What is it?" She questioned but when she seen Anya gasping for breath she ran to her side.
"He's going to kill me. He's coming for me" Anya continued to panic the words flowing without consideration for who was in the room.

"You okay Anya, your in shock it's okay" Hannah tried to calm her but when it didn't work she turned to Trott, "Get Lewis he went on patrol".

"NO!" Anya shouted and Trott stopped in his tracks, "Don't get Lewis!" She repeated falling to her knees.

"He's coming! He's coming to kill me" Anya began to say again and Smith tried to sit up but couldn't, he felt unless, unable to help his mate.

"Shhh, Anya" Hannah soothed, rubbing Anya's back. "No body is coming for you, you are safe" she said.

Anya looked up at Hannah and shook her head, "I'm a threat. He's coming for me".

"Who's coming for you?" Ross interrupted and Anya looked to Smith for courage and confirmation. When her mate nodded his head Anya knew it was safe to tell her secret.
"I killed Parker! His brother will come after me! I bet he sent the hunters, to kill us off! He will be coming".

Anya hid her head but instead of hearing gasps or them running off to Lewis, Anya felt Hannah's arms wrap around her.
"It's okay, it's okay. We will stand strong. You are part of this pack and the pack will stand together" Hannah said softly and Anya relaxed.

But as she felt herself relax she felt a jolt in her mind, the image from a long forgotten nightmare filled her mind and a voice echoed above.

"It will be you or your pack"
"You must decide"
"This fight may be your last"
"However the choice has already been made"
"Prepare to fight"
"Prepare to die"
"For you are the Light in the Dark"
