Mason' s p.o.v

It was waning into the late hours of the night and there as yet to be any signs of rogues. We were beginning to think they weren't going to show but that didn't mean we were going to let our guard down.

I stared at my little mate as she swayed in the moonlight. Her eyes closed her body moving with no care. She was beautiful.

'Emily.' I said quietly as I gently grabbed her hand.

'Mhmm.' She hummed as she slowly opened her eyes.

'Come with me.' I say as I begin to pull her to the back porch.

'Where are we going?' She asked.

'Somewhere to get some quiet alone time.' I said as we walked up the stairs to the porch swing.

We sat down and she cuddled up in my arms. We sat there in peace enjoying each other's presence.

I gazed down at her laying in my arms her face calm her eyes closed. I slowly began to stroke her hair gently. She had no makeup on, her hair left natural. She was pure beauty.

'If you think you're gonna get luck think again.' She mumbled quietly while looking at me through her eyelashes.

'Not what I was thinking about.' I chuckled as I kissed her forehead.

'What were you thinking?' She questioned.

'Honestly.' I say aloud. I searched my thoughts for the right words to say.

'Why didn't I know we were mates? You've been gone for six months. I should have known.' I say carefully not wanting to upset her.

'My wolf was dormant.' She said quietly. She laid her head against my chest and gently closed her eyes.

'What?' I say

'My wolf didn't emerge on my 16th birthday like she was supposed to. I was ashamed I thought something was wrong with me. I told my dad and we searched for someone to help. We found the gifted one and he helped me and my wolf become one.' She spoke low but I could hear the pain in her voice.

'You're perfect.' I said as I kissed her softly.

'The Luna And Alpha we're attacked.' Was shouted through the pack mind link and my body reacted before my mind could comprehend what was happening.

Skylars p.o.v

'I had fun tonight.' I say as we slowly walk down the path leading to our home.

' Yea it was nice.' Luke says. His eyes roamed our surroundings and his body was tense.

'Luke relax. They didn't show we should be safe.' I said hopefully wanting to put this past us.

'Just because they didn't send a all out attack doesn't mean they won't attack.' He spoke as he took hold of my hand.

'What do you want to do with the babies room?' I asked trying to change the subject.

'We haven't finished the rest of the house.' He chuckled. 'But I think a meadow type of theme. One wall could be a waterfall and one could be a field of flowers. Something really happy.'

I smiled at at his words. He put a lot of thought into the way the nursery should be.

'Sounds perfect.' I said.

The air suddenly got tense and the light happy mood we managed to find quickly got dark. I watched as Luke's stance became defensive and his eyes darkened. I faintly heard the sound of paws hitting the ground. I looked up at Luke fear flooding my body.
Within seconds we were surrounded. Eight rogues circling us, foam dripping from their mouths as they snarl at us.

'Sky there's two enforcers with us. We're gonna attack. I want you to run for the house and get in the safe room.' Luke mind linked me as he put his hand on my stomach. 'Keep her safe.'

Before I could reply he shifted and attacked with his enforcers. I didn't want to leave my mate but my wolf took over her instincts to keep us and her pup alive would keep us safe. We ran as fast as we could and came close to the house but something didn't feel right.

'The house is surrounded.' She spoke.

'What do we do?' I panicked not knowing what to expect.

'We run as far as we can and try not to get caught.' She said before we headed off in the opposite direction.

We ran for what seemed like forever. I had reached a meadow with a waterfall. I had no idea were I was nothing looked familiar.I turned and started to run before and burning sensation in my leg brought me to my knees. It stung and I felt myself weaken. I looked down at my leg and it was dripping with blood. My leg wasn't healing and it could only mean I was shot with wolves-bane.

'You can't run now.' A dark sinister voice rang out. I swiveled my head trying to find the person it belonged to. My eyes fell upon a pair of chilling ice blue eyes and my breath caught. I was frozen with fear.

'You're a hard woman to get a hold of.' He mused and I could see his canines in the moon light. I clutched my stomach praying that the moon goddess protects me and my baby.

He slowly stepped out into the pale moon light and my body shook with fear. His head covered in tattoos,  his face scared, his eyes held nothing but emptiness.

'We need to run.'  My wolfs voice rang quietly in my head.

'But our leg.'  I replied thinking of my injury.

'It's pain or death. Run!'  She cried out.

With all the strength I had I pulled the bullet out my leg and stood up.

'Don't think about running again love you won't get far.' He smiled. Chills ran down my body. I did the only thing I could think of I jumped into the lake beside me.

I let myself sink to the bottom and then started to swim to the waterfall. I swam under the waterfall and came up for air behind the water. I looked at the cave as I slowly made my way to shore. My body felt heavy and my breathing became labored. I laid there trying to think. My leg was still bleeding and now the wound was bigger. I ripped a piece of my wet dress and wrapped it around my leg to slow the bleeding.

'Luke!' I screamed through the link.
I got no response.

'He can't hear you.' She said almost in a whisper.

'What do you mean,  why?'  I questioned.

'We're to weak the energy I had was used to help get away. The wolves-bane weakened me.' She said her voice fading more and more.

I laid there trying to save any energy I could. Once I hit the water my scent disappeared so for now I was safe. I had to get back to my mate but mostly importantly I have to protect my baby.

I closed my eyes and rolled over to my side. I felt a sudden gush of liquid on my legs. I sat up searching for more blood wondering if I was injured anywhere else.

'You're water broke.' My wolf calmly said.

'No it's not time. I still have a lot of time. The baby can't come now.' I started to panic.

'Wolves are born five months after being conceived and your pregnant with an alpha.' She said calmly.

'But I have two more months.' I reply I can't have the baby yet as I thought that there was a painful tightening in my stomach.

'The baby will be fine. It'll will be easier for us to protect her after she's born.' She said reassuringly.

I can do this, breath, it's gonna be fine. Was what I said to myself over and over as the contractions got closer and more painful. I felt pain spreading from my thighs to my stomach and back. It didn't hurt this bad being shot.

I listened to my wolf coaching me through the delivery and started to push. After what seemed like eternity I felt a strange numbness wash over my body and I heard a cry. It was my baby she was beautiful. I held her in my arms and cooed at her to calm her. She was the spitting image of her father and I couldn't be more happy.

I ignored my body screaming in protest as I slowly got into the water I took a piece of my dressed that I ripped a gently washed my little girl. After cleaning her I wrapped her in a different piece of my dress that had dried. I watched as her eyes sleepily closed.

'Take her further in the cave and shift. I will protect you both and shift back when she needs to feed.' My wolf said gently. My body ached and I was tired. I know my wolf was just as tired but she had a better chance at protecting us.

I gently grabbed my daughter and took her further into the cave. I slowly took my dress off and folded it so I could lay her on it.

'Mommy loves you.' I kiss her forehead before I let my wolf take over.

My bones shifted and broke until I was in my new form. My wolf circled her pup and wrapped herself around her. I drifted off as my wolf stood guard.
