"Jude!" Enania shouts, her unusually wide golden brown eyes shine when the sun hits them just right. The little girl, mostly known as Nia, runs after her stumbling little brother in the soft green grass outside their family's pack house.

The two kids weave around the legs of the arriving adults in the pack, their laughter echoing throughout the woods. Soon, as more families join, more laughter reaches into the sky, as the pack begins their special lunch BBQ. The kids run squealing, while the teens gather in their tiny groups, and the adults mingle amongst themselves. The stone patio warms as the sun beats down on the pack, only a slight breeze blows by to cool them off.

The trees stand tall and proud, a barrier the kids are told to never cross unless with a parent. Those same trees seem to empty of birds all at once before a strong wind comes from the forest, meeting the awaiting noses of the curious adults. Silence is the only thing heard, this is was tips off the pack as to something being wrong.

The crowd stills; even the children, sensing something must be wrong, run back towards their mothers and fathers. Enania and Jude weren't excluded from this, for Nia simply clamped her mouth shut, grabbed Jude's hand, and guided him to their mother who looked at them with worried baby blue eyes that she shared with her son Jude.

The kind woman known as Maria scoops down to lift her year old son onto her hip, while another arm reaches down to grip her eldest daughter's small pale hand. Maria was worried, for her husband Alpha Kenneth, was currently creeping towards the woods, his beta and third in command on either side. Behind the small group of leaders were their warriors, all of them trying to link the soldiers at the border wanting an update of their current situation.

When no update came, Alpha Kenneth turned to his pack and yelled for those willing to fight stay and for the rest to run to the safe house; the Fenbella Moon Pack was being attacked. The family ran.

It wasn't long before Maria and her two young children were cornered in a clearing by three nasty rogues. Nia clutched her mother's hand, fear written all over the young girl's face as her mother hands Jude to his sister. Nia, forced to release her mother's hand, watches on in horror as the petite blonde woman, who only shared a button nose with Nia, shifted into her sandy blonde wolf and approached the snarling dirty wolves.

"Run my loves." Commanded the calm woman. Hearing her mother's voice in her head jerked Nia out of her fear as she knew she had to protect Jude, her baby brother.

Nia ran from the clearing, bumping into more rogues, but every time she ran into the evil wolves, a pack member would come out of no where to protect the Alpha and Luna's children.

The five year old ran, with Jude bouncing and crying on his big sisters shoulder. Nia tastes her own tears, but kept running. Her burning lungs didn't stop her, her weak arms or legs didn't stop her; what stopped her right before running into a highway was an unbearable pain ripping through her chest. She actually dropped Jude, who was clutching at his own chest, to scratch her her now dirty pink T-Shirt, desperate for the pain to stop. Her sobs wracked her body, as she dropped to her knees, trembling with fear. The pain subsiding, Nia crawls over to Jude bringing him close to her chest, wide brown eyes connecting with his blue eyes, almost identical to their mother's.

As cars whiz by Nia hears a wolf cry, a howl filled with so much pain it makes Nia begin to cry again. Her eyes squeeze shut, rocking her and her brother back and forth. The howl that belonged to their Alpha father is cut short, the silence of his howl is followed by the same pain as before. A fire roars through the kids's chest as they lose their last parent. Nia screams out loudly, holding her brother tightly to her, fighting off the immense pain.

Seconds turn to minutes and as the pain fades, fear takes over. Nia looks up, just as an adult rogue stalks through the edge of the tree line. Saliva drips down it's bloody mouth and onto the ground. Terrified, Nia shoves her brother behind her, backing up slowly only to stop as now she and her brother were so close to the road they could feel the breeze from the speeding cars.

A ways ahead a car had skidded to the side of the road, pulling over to see why two young kids were on the side of the highway. When the couple sees the wolf, they freeze, terrified of its size. The woman runs back to the car and begins to call for help, while the man runs towards the fiasco in front of him. The wolf pays the man no mind as it stalks closer, Nia doesn't dare move, for fear that her brother would get hit by the close cars.

Seeing this as it's chance, the wolf launches its paw, with knife like claws curving towards Nia. Yelling Nia spins, curving herself over young Jude as the wolf's claws dig in and slash over her once smooth back. She screams out in pain, as blood gushes from her new wound, tears stream down her cheeks as she collapses on top of a screaming Jude.

Nia turns her head and sees another wolf run out of the woods engaging in a fight with the rogue. Nia vaguely remembers it being her dad's beta. But soon after the pair of wolves are tumbling back into the woods, snarling and yipping at each other, the man appears in front of Nia as she curls herself up in a protective ball around Jude.

"It's gonna be okay, you both are gonna be just fine." The man's voice filters in through her clogged up ears, sounding the way Mommy used to sound when Nia was in the bath underwater. Soon, the sound of sirens could faintly be heard.
