The weather has changed and it is now full on raining, but I don't care. All I want is to find Mica and Ulana because everything in me tells me that they are in trouble. The blanket with spots of blood on it was never the first hint, to make me realize that something felt a little off today, but it was the interruption in my senses.

Oh gosh, the feeling that had washed over me as I watched them leave, I had to take a moment to calm myself and tell myself that I was only finding it difficult to seperate from her as her mother. What is in hand, I haven't been able to let go, I feel much closer to them with it so close to me.

When I first saw the blanket hanging out the mouth of Ronan's wolf, I felt really numb and quite dizzy. I had to blink a couple of times to try and determine that what was before me was real. When Ronan had returned back to his human form, he'd finally told me what happened.

The blanket was actually the delivery that he'd received while I was on my way out. Her scent had knocked him into adrenaline mode and all he wanted was to get to me in time, he wanted to stop me before I could get far.

He told me that the first thought to run through his mind was danger, that my little girl is in trouble and I might also run into trouble, on my way back home.

Evan had not wasted any time and had called up Travis, informing him of what was happening. Travis in response has brought warriors and trackers, to come help search for them. Ronan has also called his own people and both packs are working together in search of Mica and Ulana.

Travis had informed me that he'd tried to get ahold of Mica many times, just like Kylie, who joined in on the search. We have all seperated and many of us are going in groups, to different parts of the forest, in which surrounds us. Ronan had caught us in time before we could enter the main road and be in the same area, as the humans occupy.

We were not far from my old pack's territory and the area around it has proven to be a start, in our search. Though through the worry, one thing I am certain of, is that where ever they are, Mica is protecting Ulana. He would never let any harm to befall her, he has yet to come to terms with everything that had happened to our family, so in his mindset I know that he determined himself, to be our shield and protector.

What puts me on edge however, is how hurt he may be, because I can feel all sorts of pain in different parts of my body. I can't determine on which part is most affected, due to my senses being in the way. I have never been given a chance to complain against my senses, but right now, they have reminded me on how different we are as mates, compared to other mates.

At times, I could never be a full on mate with part of me, being who I am. I feel cheated as of now due to not knowing the extreme levels of pain Mica may be experiencing. This is one of the disadvantages of us being mates amounts to. At this moment in time, I feel like I am just his borrowed mate and not his true mate, or else I would have located his whereabouts by now.

Like a true and complete mate does, when their other half is in trouble.

I am suppose to find him first, as his mate, the one destined and fated for him but here I am, still searching.

" Catherine."

" I can't stop to talk now Ronan, I have to find my family."

I hear him sigh before in true speed, he stands infront of me.

" Ronan -"

" Look at me." He demands for eye contact but I deny him, looking everywhere but at him.

" Catherine, look at me."

I sigh and comply, knowing that he wont give up, until he gets what he wants.

" We will find them."

I don't say anything, but just look at him.

" Do you hear me?"

" I hear you."

" But you aren't listening." He says.

" Ronan, why are we talking, we should be continuing with the search.
"

" Do you know your mate? - He is alpha Mica O'Connell. Do you possible think he wont return to you, wanting to rub it in our faces that he is a badass, though he knows I am the one true badass." He says, trying to lighten the mood.

" Why are you so annoying right now?" I say, walking into his arms and resting my head against his chest.

" I'm your brother, I'm suppose to be annoying." He says, wrapping his arms around me.

I feel him kiss the top of my head.

" He is alpha O'Connell."

He groans. " Do you really want to me to repeat those words?"

" Aren't you suppose to try and make me feel better?"

" Catherine, you're killing me here." He groans out in protest.

" Why are you such a crybaby, you know, Ulana doesn't whine like -" the sharp alertness of my senses, coming at me like a forceful wind, knocks me into silence, that my body grows rigid.

" Catherine -" I hold up my hand, silencing him as I close my eyes, disappearing into my senses.

I feel it so strongly, like shots of pins and needles, along my skin, mostly centering around my head and middle. I stagger back due to the shock of such pain, such that I have never experienced before apart from the different pain, of losing my wolf.

I shriek in pain when I feel arms wrap around me. This forces Ronan to let go of me like I have burnt him. I let out harsh breaths through my nose, doing all I can to bear the pain.

I am given no time to react when a vision so strong displays itself through my closed eyes, it is quite hard to not open my eyes because my eyelids fill full and and heavy. The urge to open them is great but the need to see and make clear of what I need to know, dominates that urge.

" Catherine, talk to me, what's happening?" I hear Ronan demand, his tone full of concern.

" I need silence. Tell everyone to stop moving." I breathe out.

" Okay." He says with no argument.

For the first time in a long time, with no argument, Ronan does what I tell him to do, without any questioning or doubt.

In a couple of minutes I hear absolute silence and no movement, but only the sounds of nature taking lead and being a great companion, to the vision I am experiencing.

I see it then.....

Mica's car, both my mate and child looking content. Mica looks so happy as he does a quick glance through the rearview mirror at Ulana, who is awake yet sits silently, listening to music playing softly in the background.

Around her are quite a lot of shoppingbags and I have no doubt, that Mica couldn't help himself in spending on our daughter. I notice that the blanket is still wrapped around her and she looks so adorable in it.

The scene almost brings me to tears yet I'm stopped, by the sudden change of scenery. It feels like I have been robbed of the beautiful sight of my family being perfectly fine.

I see it then, in a horrific scene, Mica's car, damaged on the back mostly as I can see because I am not given view of the sides and front, it's facing downwards and looks to have fallen off some kind of hill. What terrifies me to the core is how on edge, it is still hanging on and it would take a push, for it to continue down the rest of the path down the hill, landing on the hard and huge rocks at the bottom.

I gasp as I return back to the present and I am given the right to open up my eyes again. I blink as air return easily in its flow through out my body.

It is then I feel alot of eyes on me and when I look around, I see that it is no longer just Ronan, who stands watching me, Cara, Travis, Evan, Kylie and many of the men, watch me.

Both Mica and Ulana's scents hit me so strong, like never before and talking now and trying to explain, feels like it would be an act of delay on my part. Instead of speaking, I bring Ulana's blanket up to my nose and feed off her sweet scents, I breath in and out about three times before it hits me.

A sense of familiarity about where the location is, affects the beating of my heart greatly, because it starts to race.

" Where is the nearest hill Ronan?"

" About 2 to three miles from around here why?"

" We need to go there, now!!" The Luna in me demands.

" Why -Tell us!" Kylie says, jerking me around by arm.

I don't know what look my face displays yet it's enough for her to let go of my arm, so quick as if she never touched me. Her head hangs in submission, she now stays silent.

" My family is in trouble and it's a matter of quick act, to get to them in time or else...." I say.

" Say no more." I hear Travis say.

As if both had planned to act on accordance to the same time, both he and Ronan leap into the air, immediately letting their other forms to come out and land back on the ground as wolves. The rest follow and I rush over to get on Ronan's back, since he's already gotten down to a lower level, in order for me to hop on his back.

Without wasting time, we set out in full speed, with one goal in mind, to find that hill. I hang on for dear life while my hands grip both Ulana's blanket and the wolf's fur. I lower more of myself, in order for the wind to not blind me on the way and that I can hold on much better.

A pursuit with no hinderances, we had all expected to undergo on our way, but fate has it that when I feel us so close, with us having covered the miles, we unknowingly enter into a territory, to now we discover, to a rogue territory. In the most unexpected way, I feel a sudden hard shove on the side of Ronan's wolf, where the impact forces me off him and to be thrown to the ground.

I land painfully on my side and a whimper releases from my lips. I hear the sound of a groan changing into a painful whimper close by, this causing me to roll over to my stomach and my head to pick up, in search of where this came from.

I am able to catch the sight of Ronan's wolf tearing off the head of the rogue that had attacked us, throwing it off behind him. The rest of our wolves move out of the way in time before they get hit by that head. I pick myself up and only ever reach to a kneeling position when the sounds of many growls and wolves becoming tense, echo around me.

From Ronan's line of view, my head turns and I see it then, that on my other side, what seems to be a pack of wolves, stand ready to attack to me and our wolves.

I realize then I am in the worst posibble position, in the middle of a battlefield.

The image of my family in trouble and how close we are comes in mind, almost blocking me from seeing the dangerous reality I am in. My head snaps towards Ronan, whose growl I am still able to recognise through the years I've been around him.

Our eyes connect for only a moment but it's enough, because he tells me then, that no matter what, we are getting to that place and we will save my family. A tear slips out because of this reassurance.

I notice the wolf's eyes widen and within a blink of an eye, it leaps in the air and over me, before the sound of tearing flesh, reaches my ears. My head snaps to the side towards the Rogues sides, where Ronan has just protected me from a rogue that wanted to jump me.

I rise to my feet, still with the lingering pain on my side but ignoring it.

' Attack!' I demand through the mindlink to my pack, before running to the side close to a tree and out of the way, before I am crushed by these big animals.

I feel an immediate presence beside me and I realize that it is Cara, her big and beautiful changed self of grey and white self, stands as a shield from the rogues.

' Protect the Luna!' I hear Travis's Beta voice command through everyone's mindlinks.

As a unified force, trained in such military form, a group of wolves do a formation around yet giving room for Cara, to do her duty. They don't want to overstep their bounderies and are respecting authority.

They don't see just a she-wolf yet the Luna's right hand.

It is something that I have never seen in my entire life and I feel proud, knowing that Mica's hand and leadership is being put into testing, by his loyal men, in the time of battle.

The other wolves act as a distraction, that the rogues be preoccupied, to take a chance at trying to reach to me. I don't wait in watching the gruesome scene take place but I start moving, with speed and being careful to not enter into the warzone happening the clearing. The wall built for my safety, moves along with me and each time a rogue attempts getting to me, one wolf takes care of it.

I've long lost my shoes and I am running barefoot now.

" Ah!" I gasp and stagger back, when close to a clear escape, a wolf jumps infront of me, blocking my way.

I sigh in relief when I see that it is only Ronan.

I notice a smear of blood on his black coat and his leg, hurt.

His growl snaps me back to look into his eyes. He tells me quite clearly, that I need not worry about him now but what I am looking for. A shot of adrenalin rush, as if I drank lots of energy drinks, push me into a full on sprint ahead, with Ronan by my side and Cara and a few behind me, being on guard, from any oncoming danger.

I have surpassed the stage of feeling the cold from the rain and finding my family, takes main priority. The sight of car tracks on the muddy road, that we reach, feels like light at the end of the tunnel.

It is clear from the view of the main road, from a far distance, that the car swayed off the main road and through the path, creating direction for me to follow along with the others. I take off running, following the trail and gripping the now wet blanket like never before.

Ronan is right there with me along with Cara, who now realize what all this means. The amount of heavy weight and sounds of feet hitting the ground from behind me, tells me that the wolves that were able to get away quicker, have joined us now.

We finally see the end of the hill and in the midst of missing a step and falling off it, due to the full on speed my feet had driven me to, Ronan's wolf is quick to jump infront of me and with a little push, I stagger back. It is only after a few seconds that he moves back a bit, giving me room to glance at the other side, though he watches my every move carefully.

I am brought to my knees when just like the vision, Mica's car hangs off edge and I worry, by the creaking strainuous sounds of the car, that it might tip off.

" Mica!!!" I scream, wanting him to hear my voice, for him to know that I am here.

' Mica, baby please...make a sound or say something. I'm here, I'm here, I just need you to know that.' I speak through the mindlink.

The most frustrating part is that his wall is open but he wont respond, I can't even feel him think.

I don't understand, why I can feel the pain he is going through right now yet I can't hear him think, or try to communicate with me.

Tears fall down my face as I desperately call out to him again.

' Mica my love, your Belle is here. Infact we are all here, your men, my brother and his people, we are here for you and Ulana. I need to hear you, I need to know that our little Butterfly is okay.' I say through my wobbly voice which is weighed by so much emotion.

' Catherine.'

I hear him, clearly I do.

My love, my alpha....He called out to me in response. He heard me.

I glance to Travis and Ronan, who now communicate with their men, through so much concentration and attentiveness, it becomes clear that they are working out a plan, to quickly get Mica and Ulana out of this situation.

My old pack and my pack are working together as one, it is the most inspiring and fullfilling thing I could ever witness.

' Belle.'

It is that whispered call that has my head whip in the direction of the car, the cranking sound reaches louder to my ears, interrupting me from attempting to speak to him.

Like I've been sweeped off the ends of the earth and every part of my being, falling into nothingness and this heart of mine, I hear it no more, watching with widened and horrified eyes and the bloody scream of a mate, echoing throughout the forest, as I am forced to witness the car take down my family on the last remaining parts of the earth.

In the most toturous of scenes, the car lands with a crash at the very bottom, being unrecognizable to us onwatchers, ending everything with the last knife strike into my last pumping pulse.

I feel a shove away from the edge and then a big body shields me from seeing any more, but I hear it loud and clear......

The sound of an explosion.
