Alanna POV

"So how do we defeat someone who can heal themselves?" Jimin spoke up after I had explained to them everything Selene had last told me.

"The mind. She said the mind was weak right?" Willa said, directing her last question to me. I nodded.

"Grayson, you can get in his head." Kai said, turning towards the man who was in the back with his arms crossed.

"And do what exactly?" He asked, stepping forward. "Persuade him to stab himself or jump off a cliff? Kai looked away and rolled his eyes. I noticed that Grayson's eyes met with Taehyung's. It seemed as though the two had figured out what I already knew, but was too scared to say out loud...until now.

"He's not the only one who can get in your head." I spoke looking over at Taehyung. I barely heard the other voice speak up as my eyes would not look away from the man I loved.

"But you have to get close to him and he has the Blade!" Jungkook said, looking very worried.

As I looked at Taehyung, I started to piece together some of the things that Selene had told me. This blade was made to kill werewolves and keep them from healing themselves, but it was just a normal blade to humans.

Protect.

I thought it was the cave at first, but as all the information swirled around in my head I began to realize that I was actually supposed to protect Taehyung.

"He won't be alone." I responded to Jungkook, keeping my gaze locked with Taehyung who did not look happy with my answer.

"You're not getting close to him again." Taehyung spat out.

"This weapon is dangerous and you have to actually touch him in order for this to work. All of you would be weakened by a simple scratch from this Blade, but for me, it would be just that, a scratch." I shouted back at him, trying to get him to realize that I was right.

"He can still full on stab you Alanna!" Taehyung's face was red and he was angry. I was not about to argue with him in front of everyone.

"We will talk about this later." I turned away from him and towards James." Let's go over the plan, please."

James went over what him and Taehyung had discussed earlier in the day. Our best fighters were going to take out the men around the perimeter before we tried to enter the house. Mika was going to try to make a huge storm in front of the house to try to lure a couple more outside while a group of us went in through the back. Everyone was going to be armed with small daggers and not shift until needed because it was easier to be stealthy as a human than a giant wolf. I was to stay with Mika and help her create a large storm. Then, I was to follow Isla around the back of the house and met up with Taehyung so we could find Euric. It was going to take a lot of us to try to corner him so Taehyung could even get close enough. Dakota and Grayson both volunteered to help and I could see the pain in Jin's eyes knowing how badly she could get hurt. Reed and Jimin also spoke and stated they would help.

It was then that I made up my mind that I would protect as many of them as I could. I could get cut and stabbed and I knew that Jin would be able to heal me no problem, but if any one of them got hurt...there was no telling what Jin would actually be able to do with or without my help.

"Everyone understand?" James asked and both pack members nodded in agreement. "This is what we're made for. We protect this place from evil. Each one of you is powerful and strong, and together we will win this. Don't work too hard tonight. Get some rest because tomorrow, we attack." James got up and walked out of the room followed by Mika. Everyone was on edge and nervous for what tomorrow would bring.

I walked across the room and grabbed Taehyung by the hand, pulling him towards our room. I could feel how angry he was with me that I had argued with him in front of not just his pack, but another pack as well. When we were finally inside, I shut the door and slowly turned around, letting out a deep breath.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Taehyung yelled at me.

"About what? About the fact that I am trying to protect you and everyone else here or the fact that I "talked back" to my Alpha?" I was not happy and I wanted him to know that as I clenched my jaw waiting for his answer.

"Both!" Was all he said.

"First of all, you may be my Alpha, but I am Luna. I am equal to you and your partner. Don't treat me like I am less." He was about to speak up, but I held up my hand. "Let me finish. Secondly, you know what I said was right. Even if Euric does hurt me, Jin can help. Wolfsbane doesn't do anything to me, but if you get hurt or if anyone gets hurt...even with my help, who knows if Jin can heal them." He walked over and sat on the bed with his head down. "This is what she meant." Taehyung raised his head and looked at me. "Protect. That's what I'm trying to do." I didn't move closer to him and I had nothing more to say. There was silence between us as Taehyung looked at the ground.

"We are partners. I'm sorry that I made you feel as if you weren't. I just, don't like this." He said, still keeping his head down. I walked over to him and knelt down, putting my hands on his knees.

"No one said that war is easy." I reached up and placed a hand on his cheek. "I was sent here to remind someone of something. I believe that that someone is werewolves and the something is that you were made to protect humans." He finally made eye contact me and I felt the pain he was holding back.

"You are not a pawn Alanna. You do have a choice in what you do." His hand grabbed onto mine that was on his knee.

"This is my choice babe. I choose to protect you, Invicta, and Fortis." I could see and feel how surprised he was that I knew the official pack names.

"How did I get so lucky to have you?" He said as he reached down and pressed his lips against mine. I smiled into the kiss as I slowly stood up and pushed him back against the bed. He giggled and when I pulled away, I saw him raise his eyebrows at me. "You going to show me again just who's really in charge?" He asked.

I bit my lip and crawled onto the bed and on top of him. "I'll let you be in charge this one time." I whispered into his ear and without hesitation, he grabbed onto my hips and flipped me onto my back. With a knee on either side of me, he straightened himself up and took his shirt off, throwing it to the ground. Leaning back down, he started to kiss my neck while his hands moved underneath my shirt. His touch was like a drug that put me in an instant high and I always wanted more. Feeling my neediness for him, he pulled my shirt up and over my head, but just as I was about to pull my arms through, he kept the fabric by my hands and wrapped the excess around my wrists. Seeing my surprise, he winked at me.

"Kinky..I like it." I said and he finally brought his lips back to mine as he held my hands above my head. The heat was building inside me as he continued to touch me, but I was kept from pulling him closer, from running my fingertips along his chest and through his hair. He sucked the spot on my neck that he knew always got to me and I arched my back letting out a small moan. This feeling of wondering when I would be able to feel his touch again crept into my mind and tried to push it away as quickly as possible, but when Taehyung pulled his lips away from my skin, I knew he had felt what I did.

"Me too." He said as he looked into my eyes and brushed my cheek with his thumb. "I'm terrified of what's going to happen tomorrow." I tried to sit up a little and he then moved from on top of me to beside me. Unwrapping my shirt from around my wrists, I turned towards him and laid my head on his shoulder.

"Promise me that you will not abandon this plan." I said. Taehyung moved back and grabbed a hold of my shoulders, forcing me to look at him.

"When it comes to your safety Alanna, I have t-"

"No! This is bigger than you and me. You have to stop him at all costs." I grasped his hands that were on my shoulders.

"I don't thin-"

"Tae, you have to promise me." I got on my knees and pulled his face to mine as I rested my forehead against him. "If we don't stop him, he will wipe out all of Clarmore and then move on to the next city and the next pack all while trying to get Selene's attention." I pulled the memory of seeing all the bodies in our basement to the forefront of my mind. A silent tear fell down my cheek as the unknown faces were already haunting me.

"I promise." He whispered and then kissed me with all the love and passion he had for me.

---------------

I pulled my shirt back on as I watched Taehyung button his shorts. I knew we had to get some rest, but I could not sleep right now.

"I think I'm going to go for a walk. Is that ok?" I asked him.

"Like into the woods?"

"No, just in the garden." He walked over to me and ran his hand over my arm.

"Want me to join you?"

"Just kind of want to be alone ya know?' I said. He was always so understanding of when I wanted to be alone which just made me love him more. "I love Tae." I said as I brought my face closer to him.

"I love you too, Alanna." He smiled and then kissed me.

We both walked out of the room and down the stairs, but when I continued to the garden, Taehyung walked into James's office.

It was dark and there wasn't much light coming from the moon, but there were lights spread out within the garden. I walked past the Gazebo and to the clearing when I saw two figures laying down in the grass, facing away from me and looking up to the sky and pointing to the stars. They were discussing the different constellations and didn't see me until I laid down with my head right in between theirs.

"Hey Luna." Hoseok said.

"Trying to run off into the forest again?" Jungkook asked. I reached up and flicked his head. "Ouch!" He shouted, rubbing the spot I flicked him as Hoseok laughed who then raised his hand towards me so I high-fived it. Jungkook started to get up. "You guys suck." I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Stay, please." He slowly laid back down and we continued to look at the stars. I reached my hand up and around Jungkook's head and he reached his hand up to grab onto mine.

"You got this Alanna." He whispered and then I felt Hoseok lightly pat my shoulder.

"It's not me I'm worried about, but rather all of you." I choked back my tears, wanting to be strong. "You are the family I have always wanted and I can't lose any of you after only a month."

"Let's not think about tomorrow right now." Jungkook then sat up and both myself and Hoseok did the same. "So you're strong and more powerful, but how fast are you now?" Jungkook asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know. I haven't ran at all so..."

"Want to run off into the forest?" Jungkook asked with a smirk.

"You want to race?" Hoseok asked with a grin.

"Hell ya! Let's see how fast and how far you can run before you get tired." All three of us stood up and faced the clearing.

"Won't we get in trouble for running off?" I asked.

"It's not like we're not coming back." Hoseok said. "Plus, we're Luna, Beta, and Zeta. Good luck to Taehyung trying to reprimand all of us." We all started laughing.

"Alright. Just say go." I readied myself to give it everything I had.

"Run as fast as you can; don't hold back." Jungkook said. "Go!" All three of us sprinted towards the forest. Jungkook took an early lead, but both Hoseok and I were not far behind him. Once we entered the forest, it became a little harder and it wasn't a clear and smooth path. I jumped over branches and weaved through all the trees. I could feel that I was faster and I wasn't out of breath as I knew I normally would be at this time. I could feel the adrenaline run through my veins as I told my legs to go faster. I could barely see Jungkook and Hoseok next to me as we spread out a little and Hoseok was pulling more ahead.

"Is that all you guys got?" Hoseok said.

"Oh, you want to see what I got?" I heard Jungkook shout. What once was a man running turned into the light brown wolf that I was so familiar with. Hoseok shifted as well and then took off. I giggled to myself and tried to go faster, but I started to get tired instead. I paused to catch my breath listening to the distance sound of twigs snapping and shook my head at how crazy the two were being. The forest started to go silent again as all I heard was my heavy breathing. I looked around and realized just how dark it was and started to become a little worried as I didn't remember which way the house was.

I leaned up against a tree to rest my body a little when I heard a twig snap in front of me, but I couldn't see anything. My heart started to race, but I told myself it was just Jungkook or Hoseok.

"Boys?" I called out in a low voice. I swallowed and tried to quiet my breathing when no one responded. I squinted my eyes as I thought I saw a figure in the distance and in a second, I saw a small dart fly through the air and imbed itself in my shoulder.

I cried out in pain, grabbing the dart and pulling it out. Thankfully, it was small and didn't hit anything major. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw another figure running towards me and before I could even move, the figure ran in front of me and wrapped their arms around my shoulders bringing us to the ground. We hit the ground hard and as I pulled away slightly to see who it was that tackled me, I felt at ease when I saw Jungkook's face.

"Oh thank god!" I said, but my heart started to race again when I realized he wasn't getting up and that his breath was choppy and shallow. "Jungkook?"

"Luna, you have to go back now." He said, barely getting his words out.

"What are you talking about? What's going on?" The adrenaline was rushing through me again as I barely felt the pain in my shoulder.

"They're here. You have to get back." He said and then he started coughing.

I reached down and tried to pull him closer to me. He groaned when I moved him and that's when I felt how wet and sticky his back was. I laid his head on my shoulder so I could look at his back and that's when I saw two small daggers lodged into his back, with one directly in the center, where his spine is. I knew this didn't look good, but we couldn't be that far from the house.

"We just need to get you back to Jin." I tried to pull him up so I could help him walk. Another figure ran towards us and as I looked up, Hoseok knelt down on the other side of Jungkook. "Hoseok help me." I said and Jungkook reached up and touched the side of my face, pulling me back down.

"I can't feel my legs Lana. You and Hoseok need to leave." As soon as my eyes met his, the tears spilled from my eyes.

"I'm not leaving you!" I pulled him closer to me, refusing to let go. "Please don't leave me Jack."

"Protect our Luna. That's our job." Jungkook said.

"I will." Hoseok said and I turned and glared at him.

"No, no, NO!" my hands gripped tighter onto Jungkook's shirt as I felt him try to pry my hands from him. My vision became blurry as the tears kept coming.

"You are the s-sister I always w-wanted. T-take care of our family Lana." Jungkook choked out as he gasped for breath rubbing my arm. Hoseok kissed the top of Jungkook's head and then came over to me, putting his arms around my waist.

"We have to go Luna." He said, pulling me away, but I continued to fight him even though I felt Jungkook become heavier in my arms. I kissed his cheek and then pressed it against mine while I continued to sob. When I felt Jungkook's hand fall from my arm and his head hang back, I screamed. Hoseok pried my arms from Jungkook's now limp body and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder and then started to run back towards the house.

When we reached the clearing, he put me down and we both continued running towards the house.

"They're here!" Hoseok shouted as we reached the back door and ran inside. He continued to shout through the house, causing everyone to gather as I fell to my knees once I reached the living room, tears still falling down my cheek. I could feel hands on my back and could hear the muffled voices, but all I saw and heard was Jungkook. Taehyung knelt in front of me and placed his hands on my face.

"Alanna what happened?" He asked.

"Jack..." Was all I could say. Taehyung never entered my mind unless I allowed it, but when I didn't give a straight answer, I felt him creep into my head and when he saw Jungkook die before his own eyes, he pulled me closer and held on to me the tightest that he had ever held me.

I screamed out in anger and pain. I could tell that Taehyung was trying his best to calm me down, but I felt just how much pain he was in as well and the both of us needed a minute to grieve together.

"I'm sorry, but we need to prepare. They are on their way." I could hear a voice say. Taehyung pulled me back to look at him as he told me how sorry he was and that we needed to be strong for him; we needed to fight for Jungkook.

It was time for me to be a Luna and kill those who took the ones I cared deeply for away from me. Heather and now Jungkook. They would be the only ones who would die by the Daeva's hands from now on. I sat up and wiped my tears away.

"Let's kill these motherfuckers!"
