"I want to go to Gio" Henry complains, he has been playing with Emma at their backyard for the last few hours as both their parents have gone for their date day out.

"Henry focus in here" Emma scolds him as she serves him the invisible tea in the visible tea cup

"I don't want to play; I want to go to Gio" Henry huffs tiredly

"You mean I'm no fun? Henry who was your friend in your life before Gio even came? You are so ungrateful, you know what I don't want to play with you...!" she shouts before gathering all of her toys along with the blanket they were sitting pushing Henry away and gets in the house.

"Meanie" Henry grumbles before getting and dusting off his clothes

He grins as he knows now he can play with Gio without Emma hassling on him, taking a step towards the house he stops when he sees a rabbit running before it hides on the bushes.

Squealing to himself he follows the rabbit trail and tries to catch him but before he knows he is lost in the forest. Huffing to himself he tries to find a way out but instead end up getting deeper in to the parts of the forest.

Even if he wants to cry he doesn't, trying to be strong like Gio and his daddy, so he keeps on walking to wait and see if he can figure out the way back.

Henry jumps in the bushes when he sees some of the creatures which look like half human and snake just like the monsters in the story Emma tell him. So, he quietly stays to check what they are doing before a scream pierces from his mouth when someone picks him up.

"Well, well, well, look what have I found!" someone snickers and Henry fights to get down but it's useless

"Let me go" he shouts at the stranger but ends up being tied to the tree

A pixie like girl looks at him before poking on his cheeks as she speaks.

"What are you doing at this part of the forest, kiddo? Hey, Smith didn't you say this was an unmarked territory?" she shouts after asking Henry question

"Yes, yes may be the kid was lost or something don't yell, I'm trying to sleep" Smith yawns before curling back to sleep

"Oi, wake up. We can't have you asleep, remember we are to wait for Mars signal" The pixie like girl goes and kicks Smith with her foot

"Ah jinx, Bells when that is going to happen we have been here for like ages" Smith whines rubbing his eyes like a kid pouting

"We will worry about that later you have any idea what to do with that kid?" Bells asks pointing towards Henry who is watching the mandrakes with wide eyed

"Just let him go, poor kid must have been lost" Smith suggests as he goes to untie Henry

"Okay, what if he tells others about us being here?" Bells raise her brow at him while he just shrugs his shoulder without a care

"We are going to be gone soon so why does it matter I have no clue" he states kicking on the stone as he looks around and just as Bells goes to speak they see something flashing up in the sky.

"That's our clue, everyone now move" Smith orders getting all serious as he forgets his sleep and rush out

Henry watches in awe as all of them leave the place in hurry forgetting all about him before he too runs having no clue to where.

Luckily for him he crashes to one of the guard watching the perimeters as he explains what he saw to him. The guard shifts into his wolf form and howls loudly before Henry and the guard both hears several howls in answer.

The guard before reporting to his senior helps Henry back to his home and leaves. While the man leaves Henry runs into his house screaming for Rom.

"Whoa, whoa, baby where the fire is?" Jean teases as she hears his screaming and running inside

"Forest...snakes...pixie..." he tries to explain but stops as he is out of breathe

"Okay, calm down and explain" Jean awaits as she passes him water and let him calm first before Henry tries to explain what he saw as in detail as he can

"We need to tell daddy about it Jean" Henry voices

"Daddy is out right now and I don't think we can get in touch with him but..." Jean states getting the phone before dialing Dante's number

"Hello darling the sexiest man alive at your service" Dante greets as he picks up his call and Jean just shakes her head

"It's an emergency Dante; Henry said he just saw those mandrakes getting in our pack land without getting unnoticed. He did inform the guard and that guard has already alerted the pack but still..."

"I'm on my way don't let anyone around the main house" Dante interrupts Jean as he gets ready to teleport himself.

*******

"Jean, are we in any danger?" Henry asks now scared

"I don't know Henry but I know that this pack will save us from any harm, we have to trust them" she smiles hugging him to her scared herself

"I love here Jean; I don't want to go anywhere"

"We won't buddy, we won't" she kisses his forehead before searching for Gio and Emma

After collecting all of the kids they await for Dante or Rom to show up, tensed.

"Fire" Gio shouts as he smells the air before hurrying out

Jean follows him along with Emma and Henry; all of them get out of their house to see the big black cloud around them as the fire erupts in the forest.

"How...?" Jean gasps holding Gio as well her siblings back as they try to go near it for inspection

"Henry, which part of the forest did you saw them?" Gio asks urgently and Henry points at the place he ran to before Gio rush to it even if when Jean calls him to stop

"Emma, stay with Henry in the house and don't come out until its dire need, I will go bring Gio back now go" she pushes both of them in the house before following where Gio went

"Gio stop, it's too dangerous out there" Jean calls out but Gio just keeps running before he reaches the place where the fire is strong

"Jean we need to do something about the fire, else it will burn everything" Gio states before looking around

"Gio, stop we cannot do anything, lets go and call someone it's too dangerous in here" Jean tries to make him see reason but she just shakes his head no

"You are wrong Jean we will be in too danger if this fire isn't stopped right now"

"I know, but we don't know how, it's not possible the fire is too strong"

"I know a way to stop it but I need all of your help" Gio pleads looking at Jean who sighs in understanding before nodding his way

*******

"Emma, where are you going?" Henry holds his sister hands to stop her

"I'm going to look for Jean and Gio they have been gone for far too long don't you think?"

"But Jean said not to leave the house till its dire need"

"And this is a dire need Hen; they may be in danger what if they got lost and got eaten by those mandrakes?" Emma asks tapping her chin and just like that Henry gives in

"Okay but if Jean gets angry I'll blame you for dragging me in here" he threatens and she nods grinning before holding his hand once again and running to the place where Jean and Gio are following there scent

"Jean" Emma shouts as soon as they are in their view

"What are you two doing in here?" Jean exclaims

"We were worried and came for rescue" Emma answers proudly

"Em, it's dangerous in here take Henry and wait for us in the house"

"No, what are you all doing in here anyway, and what is everyone doing here too?" Emma asks looking around the group formed

"Am I missing something?" she asks narrowing her eyes at her sister

"Jean, leave her may be she can come of help too" Gio states before standing in front of everyone

Using his pack bond Gio as well Jean collected all the kids just as them, the special ones, along with them all they came up with the plan to stop the fire that was flaming high.

"Now listen, I know we aren't to use our powers without any supervision but this is a different situation and if we can come of some use for our pack in any way we should. Along with me and Gio I know you all too can sense something else in the air which is a power on different level so I want you all to focus on one thing at a time...

Tim, Naomi, Tara and Sam I want you four to form a shield around the fire so it cannot get out of the shield while Emma, Bryan, Mina and Hill you try to extinguish the fire...
Fawn, Mira, Ellen you guys go and check on the pack, try to see what's going on and why any of the pack warriors aren't here already...

Everyone clear about it?" Jean asks looking at the kids who nods in understanding before taking their place

*******

"What is that?" Fawn alerts looking around

"What?"

"That sound..."

"Umm... whatever it is it's tickles me as hell" Ellen grumbles as she rubs her ear as it itch her..

"Something isn't right" Mira voices lowly before she starts to run towards the Alpha's house and stop when she sees the scene in front of her

"Hide" Fawn hisses as he drags both the girls down with him

"What is going on?" Mira asks in whisper

"I don't know, but it seems that we are in trouble seeing all the warriors lying on the ground and it's like our Alpha is trying to stay awake" Fawn answers with a whisper as well

"We should inform Jean about it" Ellen suggests as she tries to get up but once again Fawn stops her

"No, before that we need to make sure our Luna is safe" he suggests to them

"But we cannot do anything to help when we do not know what to do Fawn" Mira voices worriedly looking around

"Okay, then I will follow them while you go inform Jean, Fawn can stay right here and check on things, how about it?" Ellen suggests grinning, both Fawn and Mira nods in affirmation

"Wait but how will you follow them?" Mira asks in confusion

"Like this" Ellen states before being invisible as well hiding her scent

"You..." Fawn shutters in awe

"We all are special in our own way" is all Ellen says before she moves

*******

"Gio, now" Jean shouts as she opens the gate of a dimension giving Gio an easy access

Gio concentrates all of his power on the gate before a huge puddle of water is summoned out of it.

"Incoming!" Emma shouts as the water is out

Mina and Bryan easily hold the water before it lands on the ground, freezing and pushing it towards the shield made by others.

"Gio" Emma shouts once again

Gio rushes to aid the others with the huge amount of water hanging up in the air before helping the others to mix it within the shield created.

"Ready, steady now!" Jean commands as the water is unfreeze and splashed at the fire

All of them try to hold on to the shield created so the water doesn't get out of it flooding them all but as they planned the water does extinguishes the fire even if they couldn't breathe due to huge amount of smoke surrounding them.

"Emma, your turn" Jean coughs trying not to inhale the smoke

"Piece of cake" Emma grins before removing the smoke with a flick of her finger

"We did it!" Bryan coughs as he gets down on his knees

"Yes we did it" Jean smiles before laughing out loud seeing all of their faces which is black due to the smoke they created

"I'm so tired" Gio complains lying on his back

"Aren't we all, I have never used so much energy ever" Mina complains happily

They all lie on the ground in peace happy that they stopped the fire before it did some serious damage, but it was short lived when Henry speaks.

"Um...guys" he shutters as all of them looks his way and he points at the sky where they all can see dark smoke coming

"Shit!"

*******

"What the fuck!" Dante curses as he ends up in Crystal's room

"What..." Connor growls annoyed seeing Dante once again in his room

"What the fuck is going on?" Dante asks to no one as he looks around the room and sighs

"Are you sure you are okay?" Crystal giggles seeing his misery

"Of course I'm, this is so confusing, why can't I go to Ad's pack as I want to and end up here?" he scratches his head

"May be you are finally loosing your powers?" Connor states gaining a glare from Dante who curses again like he has been doing it for the last hour.

As soon as Jean called Dante had teleported himself to Ad's pack only for him to end up in Crystal's home. And for the past hour he has been trying to teleport himself on the pack ground but failed.

"May be you would reach their sooner if you drive" Crystal suggests seeing him annoyed

"But this way I will reach at the pack sooner but the fuck if I know what is wrong with me today?" he grumbles pacing around

"As if we haven't asked that question all along" Connor grumbles before stopping his pacing

"What is so urgent that you have to be their soon?" Crystal asks finally after seeing him for the last hour trying to teleport himself and failing miserably

"Something is wrong in Ad's pack; Jean called me that is why I am trying to get in there soon"

"And you are informing us about this now?" Connor looks at him in disbelief

"I...fuck it Connor I can't teleport to the pack for fuck's sake!" Dante shouts irritated beyond reason

"Dante calm down let me take you there" Connor sighs getting up and getting his car keys but stops when Dante disappears once again

"Will that guy at least tell us what is going on?" Crystal sighs before getting up from the bed but once again sitting down as Dante appears

"Okay, stop trying to play hide and seek and explain" Connor finally puts his foot in and Dante glares at him before explaining what Jean told him.

*******

"I don't think I can open more gates today"

"And I don't think we are capable of making any strong shields"

"Nor can I wind out any more water"

"What do we do now?"

All of the kids look around each other trying to find out what to do next as they are more than exhaust from using their powers which was something they weren't used to.

"Where is Dante anyway, I have called him ages ago?" Jean sighs tiredly

"Gio" a shout from Mira alerts them all

"Mira what is it?"

"Guys we need to go help the pack; everyone seems in some kind of sleep as well someone took our Alpha's wife" she states trying to hold back her panic

"Let's go" Gio growls but gets stopped by Jean when she points at others

"Gio we can't be of any help much, I think we all used our entire energy to stop the fire in this part of the forest. We should fare smartly if we don't want to fail"

"So, what do you suggest we do?" Gio asks Jean and she bites her lip in concentration

"Guys, Ellen is following them right now and Fawn is keeping an eye out, we should be focusing on keeping the pack members out of the fire, most of the houses are burning" Mira voices before all of them rush towards the pack houses

"Jean can you again call Dante? We need some help" Gio asks Jean while they run together

"Sure" Jean nods taking out her phone and dialing Dante's number once again

*******

"Enzo, you need to sign these papers before we do any investigation" Heath states before passing him the papers

"So, did you guys have any files on our Joker?" Enzo asks

"Nope, haven't found any matches. Nothing is there on him but we have something on Thomas"

Enzo looks up from the file as soon as Thomas name comes up, after he got news from Dante as he was very concerned about Aria's welfare so he asked Enzo to keep an eye on Thomas from then on.

"He has been in touch with Aria after they had a meeting in Ad's house and it seems they are rather very close, from the information I have got Thomas knows about everything and about our Joker as well"

"So, what are you waiting on, bring Thomas in"

"Thought you would never say that" Heath grins before moving out of the room

Just as Heath leaves the room Andrew gets in a hurry.

"We need to move now; Ad's pack is on fire like literally"

"What?" Enzo shouts as he gets up from his seat and move

"With the source I got the fire has been going on for few hours already and we can't even imagine the damage. The activities of mandrakes are seen around the land I have already alerted our team for a move"

"What about the pack?"

"I have no insight on it, no movements has been seen till now, this is huge"

"Fuck, I hope to god this fire isn't done by Erika"

"You left Erika in the pack house?"

"Yes why?"

"No, just may be she did put the pack on fire" Andrew snickers before shutting up as Enzo glares his way

"Did you inform..." Enzo stops as his phone rings

*******

"Dante's phone is busy" Jean informs as she closes her phone

"Well, guess we are all we got, I can't reach dad as well" Gio sighs

Ana and Rom has gone for a day out leaving the kids on Jean's responsibility but it seems nor Gio or anyone call reach the couple.

The kids are divided into two groups as they reach the pack houses. One of the groups tries to check in the house to see if they can save anything or anyone while the other group tries to check on those warriors who are lying on the ground unconscious.

"Jean over here" Fawn shouts as soon as he sees her

"What is it?"

"The Alpha...he isn't totally out of it"

They both rush to Ad's side to find him groaning and trying to get up but fail.

"Alpha" Jean sighs trying to help him get up

"Scar" he slurs and both the kids look at each other before shrugging their shoulders

"We need to get you out of here Alpha the whole pack is on fire"

"Scar" he keeps slurring but both of them ignore him as they pull him away from the fire

"Mira over here" someone shouts for help

The kids try to help the pack members as much as they can before the fire burns the houses as well kill the people.

What seems like forever the kids drags out most of the people out of fire before Enzo and Dante along with some more people shows up.

"Dante" Henry shouts as he rush towards the men

"Hey pup" Dante sighs picking him up before looking at the destruction around him

"What exactly happened in here?" Connor asks looking at the damages done

"We don't know one moment everything was fine and another everyone is unconscious and fire is everywhere as well someone took Scarlet" Jean informs on the verge of fire

"Kids, I want all of you out of here right now" Enzo orders helping the people to get out of the lad before his teams tries to stop the fire

*******

What seems like hours the fire is finally put out but before that half of the pack houses are turned into nothing but ashes, the only good thing about the fire was no one got any heavy damages except some burns!

The medical team that was called tries their best to help the pack members to wake up while Connor along with some other wolves check on the pack's perimeter to see any threat.

While he is at it Dante tries to search for any clue on Scar but fails, due to the smoke all of the traces of those invaders are gone. Frustrated, he comes back to check on Adrian who hasn't got back his consciousness.

"How can anyone succeed to defeat these entire warrior's and take Scar away? How did they even get unconscious in the first place?" Enzo asks looking around for answer but no one replies back not knowing anything about that part

"If it's any help we all did sense something ticklish in the air except that we know of nothing" one of the kids answers after a while

"We can't know what exactly happened till one of them get their conscious back" sighs Enzo

"No trace of anyone, I tried to search all the areas and none of my guards are answering whom I send to check on the mandrakes trail" Dante sighs as well irritated not knowing how this was even possible when this whole place was guarded so tightly

"All we can do is wait for Adrian to wake up, and only then we can know what is going on" Connor states as he too comes back from his enquiry after asking some of his men to keep guard around

"Did you check on the damages that have been done in here?" Dante asks looking around but before he gets any answer a stop of car distracts them

"Whatever the hell happened in here?" Rom voices getting out of his car

"Daddy" both Henry and Gio runs his way and he successfully catches them in his arms

Henry explains the entire situation to him and Ana in one breath and hugs him back tightly.

"Wow, one date and this happens?" Rom shakes his head before passing the boys to Ana and moving to where the others are to discuss the situation in details.

*******

"Enzo, one of them woke up" the doctor informs and all of them hurries to his side

"Dave, how are you feeling?" Rom asks helping the guy to sit up

"Not so good, what happened?" he asks holding his head

"We were hoping you would enlighten us about it" Enzo states looking at the guy intently

"No idea one moment we were holding that mandrake and Mars along with one of that triplet who was helping them to run and next thing one by one we all dropped on the ground like sack of potatoes"

"Did you guys smell or ate anything that could make you go unconscious?"

"The last I remember is that Ad was pissed off as Scar was trying to defend those guys and then that Mars dude blew some thing..."

"Okay, that's enough you lie down for a while buddy" Rom pats his shoulder before walking away

"So, something must have happened when Mars blew something" concludes Enzo rubbing his chin

"And those triplets were in this all along, they fooled us, but what could have been in that whistle or whatever that Mars blew which made all of these wolves to loose conscious?" Rom asks before looking around the place which was burnt to the ground

"That's not important right now; we need to make some plans to shift all of these people to some where safe as well warm we can't leave them in here without any facility or roof. Half of the houses are nothing but ashes and other half are not in shape for them to live in" Connor voices his concern and all of them nod in agreement

"You are right it's not important, the most important thing right now is to know where the fuck my mate Erika is in?" Enzo grumbles as he finally remembers that he had left her in here!

Hey all, extremely sorry for the loooongggg wait! I was on my mini micro vacation that turned longggg, hope you forgive me and liked the chapter. Do tell me how it went, thank you for all the support and patience! Love you all, take care :)
