The sky was heavy with dark clouds that covered everything beautiful.

Now is the time to focus, the little group had no room for error.

Maverick sat on the forest floor listening to everything around him since he was part fox shifter his senses are more heightened than others. Azure leaned nearby allowing his body to slowly heal up the wounds that littered his body.

Meanwhile, Phoenix and Cameron were sitting in silence across from one another. Both of their lovers were on their death beds and nothing could help them. They just silently prayed everything would turn out okay.

"There are about 12 vampires on patrol around the hideout. 3 vampires inside and the main person are hiding all the way upstairs. "Maverick explained to the others with his silver eyes closed, Azure sighed softly.

"This is ridiculous. Cameron, Phoenix we can do this on our own. Please just go back to the packhouse. "Azure mumbled towards the two, Cameron looked at his Alpha.

"We've already had this conversation Azure, we're not leaving you to deal with this fight. Phoenix and I can help. "

Phoenix nodded next to Cameron with a determined look.

"No. You two are defenseless and weak. "

"I may not be able to shift to my werewolf form or have heightened senses like you but I can protect myself. "Cameron stood up from where he was sitting, Azure watched him closely.

"You can not look after yourself. You're just putting yourself and Phoenix in danger by coming with us. "Azure pushed himself away from the tree and walked towards Maverick.

"And what about you? You're still injured Blue. At least let us help you. "Phoenix jumped into the conversation.

"Not. "Azure growled lowly. "As your Alpha, you should obey my command and leave now. "

"Azure. "Maverick warned lowly.

"You are not my Alpha, Azure. You are my family. And family sticks together. "Phoenix replied with a frown, Cameron looked at him.

"Azure. You've taken me in after the rogue situation. You've trained me and helped me to get where I am now. I have to repay you. "Cameron sighed softly. "Please. "

"Azure. We do need extra help. It could help us. "Maverick commented this time.

"I promised Noah that I would protect you when he isn't around Cameron. I can't afford to break that promise to him. "Azure rubbed his forehead in frustration.

"And you won't break that promise because we will win this war, Azure. "

"Cam is right Blue. We've been training for this for years. Now let's go kick some vampire ass. "Phoenix smirked.

They all nodded in agreement and left out deeper into the thick forest towards their enemy.
