The Unknown

Chapter 11

"Mia wake up!" I hear as someone pounds on my door. Nice way to be woken up.

Stumbling out of bed I open the door still rubbing my eyes. "What time is it?"

Olive stands at my door looking like he had just woken up also. "Come on! We don't have time." He pushes me out of the way and enters my room. He then goes over to my closet and takes a pair of jeans and a plain black shirt and throws it on my bed.

Still confused and waking up I sit down. "I think I can dress myself. I'm a big girl." I joke.

"Throw this on and let's go." His face is full of worry, so I don't argue.

I rush over and grab the clothes he laid out and go to change in the bathroom. Looking in the mirror I decide to just throw my hair in a pony tail. If Oliver is all worked up like this then something must really be wrong. Normally he is all for sleeping in. The sun wasn't even shinning in my room when I woke up meaning it must be early still. Glancing at the small clock on my bathroom wall I read 3:34. That means that I only got about an hour of sleep. I am extremely tired.

Rushing out of the bathroom I ask, "Where are we going and what happened?"

He goes to the door and holds it open for me. "We are going to the meeting room. There is a meeting being held with all of the leaders, us included, and the top worriers along with some elders."

Crap this doesn't sound good. A surprise meeting at any time is bad news.

As we walk out of the room and shut my door Colton's door opens. He only has boxers on meaning we woke him up.

"What is going on?" He is fully awake and on alert. That must be something he gets from his time as a hunter.

A cold chill ran down my back. Just thinking about him hunting my kind makes me want to attack him. Then the thought of attacking him makes me want to attack myself. Why do I feel so protective of him! I shouldn't feel this way about an ex-hunter.

"Nothing go back to sleep." Oliver snaps as we rush past Colton.

Colton retreats inside his room only to appear seconds later with jeans and a shirt on. "I'm going with you."

Stopping Oliver turns to him. "No, you aren't. You have no business knowing so just go crawl back in bed and sleep."

I have been silent the whole time they have been bickering, but I can't take it anymore. If this is important then we don't have time for them to argue. "Shut up both of you before you wake everyone up."

They both stop then and look at me. Glad to see people actually listening to me.

I point to Colton first, "You can walk us to the meeting room, but you won't be able to go in with us." I then turn to Oliver. "You shouldn't be talking to him like he is beneath you. Yes, he is a human, but he is a part of this pack now. You are going to be my beta so start acting like it."

Colton looks proud while Oliver looks ashamed. I continue walking to get to the room, so we don't keep the people waiting any longer.

"So, what is going on? It's a little early for you guys to be up." Colton starts walking again to catch up to me.

I sigh. "Honestly I'm not sure. Why don't you fill us both in Oliver?" I state it as a question but really, I mean 'tell me now'.

"There has been an attack on a pack." Oliver's voice is full of hatred.

Shocked I stop dead in my tracks. Did I hear him correctly? An attack? No, it can't be. There hasn't been an attack on a pack in forever. There will be an attack on a member sometimes but that's very rare. For them to be calling a meeting at this time it must have been really bad.
