What the fuck happened?!

One minute I had her in my arms the next she flips out on me and tries to rip my fucking head off. I watch a moment as her golden eyes scowl up at me. Her claws digging into my arms. Growling I begin to lose my temper. But seeing the fear and confusion in her golden eyes gives me pause.

Holding her shoulders, I blink. My crimson eyes staring down into hers. I hold her against me. Trying to connect with her mentally. Using my alpha senses to calm the storm brewing inside her. Whatever was happening wasn't happening willingly.

With one hand I run my fingers through her pink hair. With the other I rub her back. Trying to soothe her like I would Violet when she was scared.

Maybe that was it?

Violet would be terrified each time the wolf wanted to come out in her. She was terrified of it. The only way I could calm her would be to make her submit then soothe her. Usually by holding her until she fell asleep.

I leant down a little and gazed into her wide eyes. Then, exhaling deeply, I growl deep in my throat. Seeing the fear subside and develop to something else. Her golden eyes turned green, her jaws and claws retracting gently.

Blinking she looks up at me. Her body shaking with unshed sobs. Pulling her into my arms I gently shush her. Trying to calm her.

"It's okay princess. Everything will be okay. I promise."

I sniff, and the smell of fire and Lycans' makes me howl. Warning everyone in the camp. Hopefully, in time.

Stepping back I move Stars hair out of her wet eyes and cup her cheeks. "We have trouble. Stay here." I turn to leave but she grabs my arm.

"Where are you going?" Her eyes wide with concern.

Flattered, I smile. "I need to find Sissy and get the fuckers off my land."

She nods and lets me go. "Stay here." I raise a brow. Giving her a stern warning.

I lock the door behind me and run full pelt towards Sissy's trailer. The flames flickered in the distance. The barn had been torched. Whoever it was knew our camp and knew where to hit us. Bastards.

Sissy crashed out of her door with Violet in tow. Holding her hand, pulling her close behind her. "Knox!" She called and I place my arm around her. Leading them away from the flames. Then, as we approach the wood edge I hand her my key. "Take this. Star's in my trailer still. Go get her and go..."

"Are we fuck leaving you here alone!" She yelled. Snatching the key from me. I shake my head. "You fucking well are. I want you to grab as many kids as you can on the way and leave. Call me when you reach the farm house at the other side of the woods."

She shakes her head. But Violet pulls on her hand. Sissy looks down at her little girl and sighs. Knowing she needed to put her first. Looking back at me sadly she nods and heads towards my trailer.
