Two weeks after we went to the Silver Dawn pack, Alpha Jerome attacked Shadow Falls. Anders received the call for help. He immediately sent out a mind link to the entire pack, ordering half the warriors to assemble in the back immediately and the other half to surround the packhouse. All pack
members unable to fight were ordered into the safe rooms within the packhouse.
I was in our room when the mind link went out. Clint rushes into our room, finding me quickly. He goes into our closet grabbing an overnight bag before taking my hand and pulling me to Anders and Calista’s room. When he opens the door, she is waiting, wide–eyed.
“Anders said you would come for me.” She says.
Clint rushes to their closet and pulls another overnight bag before corralling us down the stairs and to a
safe room. I know I can’t go with them, but I don’t want him to leave me.
“Clint!” I’m not sure what I want to say, but he pulls me into his arms and kisses me like there’s no
tomorrow.
“Take care of my girls.” He says to me.
“Come home and take care of us yourself.” I say to him.
“As soon as I can. I love you Lily bud.”
He makes sure we’re in the safe room before racing off. I watch and see him shift into Donovan before
he’s even out the door.
I turn and it’s not long before the door is closed and locked with a resounding clang. For a moment. I’m terrified , lost in my own emotions. Then, Calista is there, clapping her hands.
“Okay everyone. Let’s take a look around and see what we have here. I know this was sudden, but we plan for this every month. Our warriors are protecting the packhouse, so I believe we’ll be safe. We just
need to wait it out.”
Calista organizes our room, which is a mix of elderly, mothers with young children and other pregnant women like us. As we begin to settle in, I send up a prayer to the Moon Goddess to look over Clint, our
pack and the Shadow Falls pack.
That night is one of the longest of my life. I don’t want to bother Clint, knowing he’s fighting, but I can’t help reaching out to him periodically, just to feel his presence, I make sure not to interrupt him or push too hard. My amazing mate, while he doesn’t speak, will open his mind for a second when I push, just to let me know he’s okay.
Calista and I are sitting side by side on a makeshift bed, holding each other as we both worry about the fate of our mates, our pack and our friends. At some point, I finally fall asleep.

Ijott awake when I hear the door to the safe room unlocking. I jump up and stand in front of Calista. I may be pregnant, but I’m still her Guardian. When the door opens, the first person I see Is Clint and I rush into his arms. He is covered in blood and gore, but I don’t care. As soon as his arms wrap around me, I begin to sob. I was so worried that he wouldn’t come home, and I realized, I can’t survive without my mate. He is my everything. There is no life for me without him.
“Shhh. Lily bud. I’m here. I’ve got you. ”
I hear others in the room or those that have moved out of the room crying, happy to see their mates alive and well.
“Are you hurt?” I ask stepping back and wiping my eyes. I look over my mate. I can’t tell if any of the blood is his. He has so many scents on him.
“Nothing that won’t heal.”
“Clint. Go shower. Meet me in my room in 30 minutes.” Anders directs, holding a stoic Cali.
Clint nods before wrapping his arm around me and guiding me to our room. He immediately goes to the shower, and I grab him some clothes.
“Was it Alpha Jerome?”
“Yes. He’s dead. Leander killed him.”
“Well thank the goddess for that. I can’t help but be angry that the elder council didn’t move faster. This could all have been avoided. Did they lose a lot of warriors?”
Clint looks at me for a moment. “Anders will give you and Calista an update at the same time. Come on, let’s go to their room.”
My heart rate immediately spikes. I know my mate. If he’s not telling me something, it’s because it’s bad. If they are telling us together, they are concerned that what they are going to tell us will affect us enough to impact our babies.
