Ryder's POV

"Dude!" Charlie screamed. "Get your butt up!" My ears started to ring, due to his voice.

"Bro, do you have to be so loud?" I asked in annoyance.

"Well your taking forever....." He whined through the door. "And Vic is out there." He went on.

"I've been up all night, I couldn't sleep..." I admitted, honestly. "I need her..."

"I know you do, just hurry up so we can get this over with...." He seemed just as annoyed with me as I was with him.

I opened the door and pushed past him. "Who let you in?" I asked as I started downstairs.

"Ummm, Franky..." He trailed after me.

"How dose she have a key?" I turned around on the stairs, and faced him.

He flinched slightly when I turned. "Vic?" He shrugged.

"I need her." I sighed and started back down stairs, straight for the kitchen.

"Your plan is?" He asked still hot on my heels. Understandable though, since he's my beta.

"Well my original plan was to go alone..." I trailed off as I grabbed an apple. "I know how Sam works now, he will try anything."

"Ok so your saying...?" I stopped him before he could finish.

"I want you to tell Franky, that I need about ten guards, and thirty warriors." I paused as I took a large bite of the apple. "They will come with me, but stay far enough away not to be noticed."

"Noted Alpha" He headed for the door. "Anything else Sir."

"Your coming with, and will remain unseen with the guards and warriors." I told him, using my alpha tone, so he couldn't disobey me.

"Yes Alpha." He left with out saying another word.

I let out a heavy sigh before leaving the house with the hopes of coming back with Victoria. My heart felt broken without her around, he smile was perfect, and her laugh... Oh her laugh, is indescribable.

"Alright guys." I straightened my posture. "Stay here, unless I need your help."

They all nodded in response and stayed put. All were in line, ready to attack if needed.

I slowly made my way further outside the territory, looking around for a sign, or something that indicates Sam was here.

"You actually came." A voice echoed through the trees. "I thought the Alpha would back down, and give up."

"And leave Victoria in your hands?!" I growled, assuming it was Sam. "Not a chance."

"Feisty, are we?" I could tell he was smirking, by his tone. "You want Victoria, right?"

"Why wouldn't I?" I growled in anger. "She's my mate!" I threatened to shift, but Victor held me back.

"Hand over the pack." He growled, as she finally came into view. "Peacefully." He added.

"Never." I growled as wolves started to emerge from the forest. 'Shift now.' I told my pack members.

"Such a risky choice." He chuckled before he shifted.

I did the same, and was ready to attack. I slightly turned me head, and noticed my guards and warriors had emerged, along with Charlie. I turned back to the rogues, who were now rolling on their backs. Some had shifted into their human forms.

"He's... A... White... Wolf...." One breathed out.

"He's so weak..." Another laughed.

I let out a low growl, alerting their attention. They instantly shifted back to their wolves. They all stood in a group, which seem a lot smaller than mine.

'Easy.' I said into the link.

'Who are you taking Alpha.' A guard asked.

'Sam.' I simply answered. 'The large one in the front.'

'We will be here to help.' A few warriors said in unison.

'I am NOT leaving with out Victoria.' I warned them all.

Sam took a step and snarled, showing his long canines. A low growl erupted from vocals, causing his wolves to cringe.

'You will burn in the depths of hell for all of eternity after this.' I thought to myself.

I took a few more steps closer, and snarled back at him, louder, stronger, and much more confident. Charlie and one of my guards joined me. The whole group I had let out, a low growl causing, Sam's group to whimper.

'Weaklings.' I called out into the link.
