The first wave of humans came to the Ethdellin Packhouse and banged on the gate. The guards were usually on the outside of the fence, now they waited on the inside, not wanting to be injured.

Through the night the humans stayed, camping in the forest, lighting fires and being unnecessarily loud. Baela stayed by the building's entrance the entire time. She was healing fast, but nobody would let her go cold or hungry. They knew what was at stake if Baela died, and if Zayn didn't return with Liam.

"There's more of them coming from the town. We can see them from the roof" an Omega said, panting from running down the many flights of stairs and through the long corridors. "What if they get through the fences?"

"Then they will have to get through the wolves." Baela stayed as calm as she could. If she panicked, so would the Pack. "Get the whole pack and defend the fences."

"Okay!" The Omega sprinted back inside, and Baela rubbed her hands together to stop her fingers from wandering to her wound.

Soon, werewolf after werewolf spilled from the building, all in their wolf forms. Baela felt more secure with them all around the grounds, but the humans were noisy and attracting attention. She struggled to stand with her injury, and slowly edged down the gravel path until a hand stopped her. Baela turned and Bethan stared bleakly.

"Where are you going? You should be inside with Lynx in the first-aid room."

"The wolves need guidance."

Bethan sighed. "Look, I'm not trying to replace Niall, but I have Delta blood in me. Granted, it's not much, but I can help if you need me to help. Sit on the steps for all I care, but I'll approach the gate to see what's going on. It's better I get injured than you, again."

Baela's gaze flicked to the large metal gate in the distance. The banging echoed louder with each thud.

"Go to the gate. I'll get my phone and see what's going on with Zayn."

"Baela" Bethan yelled before she disappeared inside, "Just so you know, we'll slaughter the humans if we have to. After all, they're trying to kill us."

Baela dreaded the aftermath of so much death, and what would become of them if they killed most of Ethdellin Town's locals. Right now, all she had to focus on was defending their home and their lives.

She marched as fast as she could down the hall and retrieved her phone from the meeting room.

"Shit" she breathed.

Reena had phoned her almost fifteen times since last night. Baela held her phone to her chest and scrunched her eyes shut.

Please, please, please, let them all be alive.

Baela then unlocked her phone and called Reena back with a heavy heart.

The cars set off through the country roads. The wolves stayed in the fields at either side, shielded by thick bushes, but Zayn could sense them there.

Even Liam could sense them and kept looking from the window to catch one between the branches.

Thea had ordered cars from the government, so the drivers knew about werewolves. For the driver's safety, the passenger seat was off limits, but an extra seat was built into the back.

Two were seats that had to be pulled down, and three were in the far back of the car.

Liam and Zayn let their parents sit on the comfortable ones, while they sat on the tough boarded ones that threatened to snap shut when only Liam sat on it.
