Jara

When the howl goes up that we’re under attack, Mason and I jump out of bed. He’s out the door and shifted before I can follow him. I try to shift

but I’m not able to.

Shit, I know what this means. I’m pregnant! But I can’t focus on that right now. I need to get myself and my baby to safety.

After what happened with Typhon, Mason had a door that leads to a safe room installed on our floor. I rush to the end of the hall, hearing the sounds of crashing and snarling behind me.

“Mason is in the packhouse fighting, any wolves in the packhouse, get to your Alpha. Fight!” I shout through the mind link as I rip open the door. I hear the snarls of Elijah’s wolf and I know he’s jumped into the fight as well.

I move into the stairwell. It’s dark, but I don’t need light to see. I rush down a flight of stairs, before seeing a door open on the stairwell below

“Go, Jace. Luna Jara will be there momentarily. Help protect our Luna.” I hear Joe say.

“I’m here.” I call, rushing faster down the stairs. “Where’s Stella?” I ask.

“She went to get Brynn and Melinda, she’ll bring them to tl safe room. Go!” Joe says before closing the door. I reach over and turn the lock on the door from our side before taking Jace’s hand.

“Come on, Jace, let’s go.”

We continue down the stairs, the sounds of fighting getting louder as we

Just as we get to the end, a door to the hallway opens and Luke, my guard, steps in.

“Oh, Luna, thank the goddess.” He’s holding Melinda and he pushes Brynn and Stella into the hallway before closing the door behind him.

“Let’s get you all inside the safe room.” He says, as another body smashes against the wall nearby.

“How many are there?” I ask him.

“It looks like they sent everyone.” Luke says.

I use my handprint to open the safe room door. As the others filter in, I turn to Luke. “All of them?”

“Yes, Luna. Our numbers are very close. We may have a larger pack, but many of ours our omegas and they have more fighters.”

“I’ll call Seth, see if he can send help.”

“Stay safe.” He says, turning to leave.
