Chapter 2
That was the only thing the Luna needed to hear before she grabbed hold of the startled Ariel.
Then there was silence, so deadly that it sent a chill down the spines of everyone present. And then…
Boom!
The explosion rocked the foundation of the house, shattering the glasses and items in the house and throwing everyone with its impact. But the Luna was quick; all the years of training were ingrained in her body, and she threw herself on the floor, shielding her daughter from the impact.
Stones and debris flew, raining on them, and soon dust particles were flying everywhere.
“Luna.” She heard one of the pack members scream. "Luna, where are you?” She continued screaming, her voice getting weaker by the second.
The Luna coughed, trying to clear up the dust that had gathered in her chest, and she slowly rose up from her crouched position, her searching eyes all over her daughter, and the relief spread across her face as she noticed no visible signs of injuries.
“I am here, Brie. I am here.” The Luna reassured her friend, and Brie managed to crawl to meet her friend, tears brimming from her eyes. “What is happening?”
“We are under attack, and I don’t know where.” Brie was screeching, the panic evident in her voice. But the Luna had stopped listening after the word attack. Her protective instinct kicked in, and she was sending a message to everyone through the link.
“Be calm, everyone; everything is under control.” Her words were like soothing balm, laced with a bit of power, and the people began to visibly relax. “If you have not been trained to fight, make your way to the underground bunker. The children should go in first, and...”
She hadn’t finished talking when another explosion rocked the foundation of the house, and she was thrown off balance. She grimaced as she fell to the floor, hitting her head on the glass table, and it pierced through her flesh.
“Mom!” Ariel cried out as she saw her mom thrown like a rag doll. The same would have been her fate if not for Brie, who had carried her.
“Go! Run to the bunker!” The Luna screamed, afraid for her child.
“Mom!” Ariel screamed, struggling to come down to get to her mother, but Brie was already dragging her away even as her shrieks continued to pierce the whole room.
Kane and his men were high on adrenaline as they ran through the rubble that was once the moonlight pack. The attack had been meticulously planned to fall on a day that they least expected, and they had carefully planned bombs at strategic places that would go off within a 5-minute interval.
Some of the bombs have been laced with a concentrated amount of wolfsbane to weaken their wolves even before they realize it.
The rogue pack didn’t get their title for nothing.
Once the explosion had gone off, they had scattered and spread out, walking through the rubble and killing anyone on site, both alive and dead.
One can never be too careful.
The bullet had been made with a wolf's bane to make sure no one survived the shot. Kane has earned his reputation for being thorough, and he was determined to keep to the end of the bargain.
His men were rounding up the loot and accounting for the massacre when Kane began to head to what used to be the Alpha’s house.
He stepped on the falling stones while trying to avoid the bodies that were on the floor. He grimaced at the sight in front of him, but he continued pressing onward. Only the thoughts of the piles of dollar bills were fueling him.
His body tingled as something pricked in him, and he found himself moving towards a wall. Kane stood in front of the wall; it was nothing out of the ordinary, yet his mind was telling him something else.
Frustrated, he punched the wall, and the ground underneath him rumbled, and he began to descend downward.
He dipped his hands in his pocket, feeling for the cold metal, and as soon as the elevator stopped, he fired, hitting the target straight in the head.
Kane's ears rang as he heard screams, but they were soon silenced by three shots. “I need backup at the alpha’s house now!” He yelled to his packmates, and there was a chorus of yes, sir, before the connection went off.
Kane walked towards the screams, his guns poised in two hands and ready to attack. But he wasn’t ready for what was to come.
Because he locked eyes with a pair of electric blue ones, and all hell seemed to let loose.
