fought, and if anyone would five told me that I would as blind as I was, killing without mercy before, I would have hit them in the face.
But here I was, standing as I would for my family, lighting off those who dared enter the pack that we stayed in.
“You really do believe that you are doing yourself a favor?” One of the women, a g a m ma, said. Her eyes held anger and hate, the greed in them showed just how much she was willing to do to break me, to break everything that we had to build. I paid no attention. I had my son to protect, and I did not sim to lose him, to lose my family, for a wrenched witch like herself.
“The question would lie on you, do you really believe that your word would make a difference to me?” I asked, grabbing her by her throat. I broke it before she could ansiger, killing her almost instantly.
Caine, who was busy fighting two men off, looked at me for a moment before killing one man before dodging the other just inches before he was stabbed in the back. My heart raced against my chest, and it wasn’t until I looked at the house, which was safe from the flames as Hope did her task of raising the barrier, that I was able to breathe. At least my son was safe.
“Things are getting out of hand and if this persists, we might not be able to make it much longer Caine said, looking at Viktor who was badly injured. frowned at the beta’s sight, and taking the hint, both Caine and I ran toward him, helping him stand.
“Shit,” I whispered, looking down at the injury on his stomach. The man was bitten. A Lycan is within the pack.
“If a Lycan is here p>
“We are in deeper trouble than we thought that we would be.” I said, stopping Caine. He shook his head and helped Viktor walk toward the house.
“They are going to have to manage the wound inside!
“There are no doctors within the pack p>
“They will have to manage. A Lycan is immune to Hope’s spells if he, she, or they manage entering the house, everything that we are protecting is dead. And I think you know who that includes.” He said, stopping me. “I’ll be right back p>
I turned to the pack members who were fighting, knowing that me backing down now, me leaving them, weakening, was only going to frighten them. They were worried enough as it was, that was something that I knew for fact. That was something that they couldn’t be blamed for.
I grabbed one of the guns that were on the ground. This was the last thing that I wanted to do, but this was the one thing that I could do to hit long
ranges.
I took a deep breath as my heart raced, and though I did target the people that I wanted dead, I hesitated. And that was when a flashback hit me harder than I could have thought it would.
Flashback
“I can’t do this, you know that, Enzo. I will not use a gun.” I said, and he smiled.
“You don’t need to use it, but sometimes knowing how to is going to spare you a lot. You are the wife of one of the more dangerous capes, and you know that with danger there will be enemies. Some of them would be human too, and attacking them in our way would make things somewhat complicated for us.” He said, running his finger over my hand. “trust me, I know that you are scared, in pain, and you could be worried. But you are going to have to trust me in this p>
“What if I fail? if things end up turning against us p>
“We are going to succeed together. I am going to always be there to protect you. But there will also come a time when you and I both know that I am not going to be there, I won’t be able to if I want to. When that happens, I want you to be ready. One day, this is a skill that you are going to need, and I know that you don’t want it, but knowing that you can do it is going to ease my mind when dealing with our enemies.” He said, standing behind me. He

wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest before taking both my hands in his, teaching me how to hold the gun. “Your gun is already loaded, most of the time, it won’t be. You need to load it yourself. But first, we are going to work on your sin, and focus p>
My eyes widened at how loud it
www. “Deep breath, and fire.” He said, pressing the trigger with me
and I had to fight back jumping. Enzo was patient as he hold me close, and I wasn’t until the fourth shot that I was able to hold the gun without shaking.
“Now, you are going to be able to say that you have ONE new skill mastered p>
“One that I will never need,” I said, and he chuckled as I handed him the gun. He put it away and cupped my cheeks before kissing me
“One that you will never need…

Little did I know, that pearly eight years later, I was here, shooting three in the head, not missing my shot or targets oven. I watched as their bodies dropped before Caine’s voice took me off guard
“A girl who knows how to shoot.” He said, making me jump. “Now wonder the Alpha fancies you p>
“Viktor?” I asked, changing the subject.
“In the house. They will be taking care of him.” He said, and I nodded. “Now, come on, I believe that the pack members are going to need help containing the fire. Then we are going to go and help the Alpha. A feeling inside me tells me that considering the fact that he isn’t back with the b**h’s head; something is going terribly wrong p>
