== Simon’s POV ==

James joined me as I walked out of the meeting. He was waiting with Collins’ beta and a couple of guards, an amused smile on his face.

“They think I’m suspicious” he mind linked me with a broader smile. I guess he didn’t understand the meaning of being discreet. Collins was probably aware of what happened by now but he didn’t say anything about it.

“As said, I’ll come visit” he said shaking my hand before watching us shift and run to the woods. The run back was a breeze. James mind linked me his whole story.

“I started talking with a few guards, taking a little look around the property. Everything looked all right until this chick comes walking right up to me. Turns out, she’s Martin, Collins’ Beta, sister. She’s…man….she’s pretty. But she’s not my mate so you know, I don’t touch that. I tried to walk away, keeping my eyes peeled but I couldn’t shake her. Apparently, guards saw us, called Martin and he wasn’t pleased with his sister and with me. I swear I didn’t touch her, he insisted on escorting me though. I didn’t see anything particularly suspicious on the grounds I was able to see. Only normal pack life…”

It was totally James’ nature to get into trouble because of ladies’ attention. From what I knew, Martin’s sister was barely sixteen anyway, not anything James’ would ever touch. When our borders came back into view, we stopped at one of the shifting posts to shower and get our clothes.

We had just walked out when Ashley came walking towards us. Her friend Anna was with her, both dressed in skinny tight jeans and tight tops.

“Hello boys!” said Ashley with an overpitched happy voice, she came close, trying to lean into my chest. “There’s a party tonight over at Jenny’s, are you guys coming?”

I took a step back to put some space between her chest and mine but she didn’t back off, gripping my shirt with her hands and pulling closer before snaking her hands around my neck. “If you come, I might give you a little present…”

“Ew, Ash! I’m right here and I’m your brother!” protested James. She stuck her tongue out at him before turning around to smile at me.

I pushed her off my chest with a sigh. “I know you have a crush on me Ashley but it’s not like I ever led you to believe we would be together at some point. I have a mate, so back off.”

I had just finished my sentence when I smelled the wind. It smelled of burnt wood and blood.

“What happened?” I pushed past Ash and Anna, starting to run towards the origin of the smell.

“Oh, another attack…” I heard Ashley brush off in the distance. Definitely not Luna material.

== Enna’s POV ==

After we had settled in the living room, Nathalie and Lara started to watch some weird human flick on the tv. Most of what was on tv was foreign to me, from cell phones to some cars and clothing styles. I got pretty tired after an hour of this treatment and decided to head upstairs for a nap.

The room wasn’t the same without Simon, and although I knew he would be back tonight, I missed him. I couldn’t believe I missed him. Obviously, he was one amazing person, and my mate. I also felt safe with him. I felt like he was taking me whole, even with all of my broken pieces and scars.

On that thought I fell asleep.

It was peaceful until I was brought back to my own personal hell. I felt pushed, the same way they would wake me up in my cell to take me into the back room. I clawed at the person in my sleep, trying to pull away, only to wake up and find Nathalie standing over me, shaking me by my shoulders.

“Wake Up Enna! We have to go!” she yelled at me. I could hear Lara behind her, cursing under her breath.

“We have to go now, before they come in here!” she yelled at Nathalie. I was promptly pulled out of my bed, all of my limbs were shaking. Nathalie threw me a cardigan that was laying there. I didn’t even have time to put it on before I was pulled by the wrist into the hallway. The house itself seemed quiet but I could hear people yelling orders outside. A glimpse out of the window didn’t leave me much to guess. They had breached in, they were here. For me.

Nathalie pulled me down the steps while Lara was leading the way. We finally reached the lobby of the house when a window broke right to my left. I fell on the shattered glass as a massive weight fell on me. The growl I heard in my ear made my heart drum even faster in my chest, tears ran down my face. I could feel the beast's hot breath on my face, but I was too scared to open my eyes.

A flash of green light appeared behind my lid as a hot wave crashed into me and the beast. He leaped away with a cry of pain. I scattered to my feet, seeing Lara with both her hands extended towards me and Nathalie halfway into her shift. I ran to them, feeling the hot sticky blood run along my back and my legs. Nathalie grasped my wrist and pulled me again, not even letting me catch one breath. I do not know exactly where I entered as this door seemed to appear out of nowhere, but I was shoved into stairs that led underground. The last thing I heard was Lara’s voice saying “I will hold them back” before she shut the door and only the frantic drums of my heart was to be heard.

Nathalie broke the heartbeat silence after a moment, pulling me downstairs in the dark. She cracked a light open and I realized that I was in an underground bunker. I fell to my knees, my limbs shaking. I could feel the cold stone floor underneath my knees and hands, and the tears burning my cheeks. I could feel the breath stuck in my throat and the blood running free. Then, I felt the world fading away.
