I had just finished folding all of the laundry and Ian's things in a basket that I left outside the guest room door. I wasn't about to go in there. If I did he'd probably have another reason to be mad at me. I took my things upstairs and on my way back down there was a knock on the front door. I peeked out the side window and saw Rocky, the guard that had been asigned to me. I sighed and unlocked the door. When I opened it, Rocky looked at me and kind of sneered. " There was a problem with the Transport. When I have more info, I'll let you know." He started to walk away from me but I stopped him. * Was anyone hurt? Is Ian okay? * He shook his head, that sneer back on his face. " Do you really care? I heard about what you did." I was furious. How dare he say that to me! I stomped out onto the porch, my hands balled into fists at my side. Don't you ever question my love for my mate! I made a mistake and I'm paying for it! You have no right to throw it in my fucking face, you son of a bitch! * I growled and stomped back into the house, slamming the door behind me. I got as far as the couch in the living room before I burst into tears and slowly sagged to the floor.*

* My mind was racing. I was scared to death that Ian had been hurt. I didn't want any of the enforcers hurt either. I was also pissed that Mia's so called friends blamed us. It was quiet inside the house, the only sound was Raja breathing and Thomas chatting softly with Rae. Looking around the room, I was surprised we were all so quiet and, I was about to suggest we go to the kitchen and have coffee or something when I heard it, we all heard it. A lone wolf's howl. It was creepy and, made me shiver. There were soft gasps and Raja was on his feet, his hair standing on end. The big dog growled low and, all of is slowly stood up. "Meg, do you have a pantry or a room that's secluded?" I turned to Rae. She was holding Thomas and looked fearful for her young. I nodded and had her follow me to the theater room. It was secluded and sound proofed, no windows. Rae set Thomas in one of the plush chairs as I turned on the cartoon channel. Rae told him to please stay there and he asked for Raja. Rae assured him that she would bring him in as soon as she could but, right now she needed his help. "Bad guys, momma?" Rae nodded. "Bad guys, Thomas." He hugged her neck and promised to stay put. I made sure the lights were on and Rae and I left him in there. In the hall by the stairs Rea stopped me. "Do you have guns in the house?" I told her we did and she told me to gather them up and meet her in the living room. She headed downstairs, I went to gather mine and Chloe's weapons from around the house. I got back to the living room just in time to hear Chloe say she heard one of the guards call Slade. I stopped and started laying guns out on the coffee table.* I grabbed everything we had including ammo. * I had a duffle bag slung over my shoulder along with a pump action shot gun. Jules and Piper looked worried.* Have either of you fired a gun before? * They both nodded.* Good, we'll need your help.
ReplyDelete* Out in the yard there was a rumbling of sound. It got louder and we realized it was fighting. Rae grabbed the shotgun and I gave her more shells for it. I had my glock and two full clips. Piper picked my double action revolver and I made sure she got the ammo for it. CC and Jules got the other pistols that belonged to Chloe. Rae looked around at all of us. "We have to help protect ourselves. There are many Rogues and if we don't help we could lose some of our own." We all nodded. Raja was by the front door growling now. " I think we need to split up, take different positions in the house." We all agreed. Piper went to the kitchen area. Rae took the balcony off of our bedrooms. CC was in the front room. I was at the front door and Jules had the mud room/ garage. We could all hear the fighting outside. There was scuffling on the porch, something or someone slammed against the door. It happened again and Raja went nuts, barking and growling. The door flew open. Two bodies landed on the floor. Rocky and a dead Rogue. Raja charged out as Rocky got up. There was no time to say anything. He headed back out into the yard and I could see others fighting and more rogues. Upstairs, I heard Rae yell and the balcony doors opened. The shotgun blast was loud and I couldn't see who she hit but I heard the groan. Raja ran by on the heels of a rogue. He lept up and had the guy by the back of the neck. When they hit the ground, Raja shook the guy, snapping his neck, his body going limp. There was too much going on, too much noise. A window in the living room broke, a brick landing on the rug close to CC. She growled loud and fired off two shots. Piper yelled from the kitchen. "Rogues everywhere" She was shooting at someone. Jules stepped into help her. Something wizzed by my head and shattered a glass picture frame. Locking eyes with the male, he growled at me. " McGregor pack will pay for what happened to Mia and our friends!" He stepped closer and I lifted my gun. His eyes widerned, he rushed forward and I shot him, the bullet hitting him in the throat. Jackson was yelling into his walkie about being outnumbered. Rae was yelling for Raja, CC, Jules and Piper were firing off shots. There was a yelp, two more blasts from the shotgun. " You go near that dog and I'll gut you!" I've never heard so much anger from Rae but she was pissed. I couldn't keep track of everyone. I stepped out on the porch to see and was sucker punched. I dropped my gun and my attacker tackled me to the floorboards. She was strong, her eyes crazy but, I was on an adrenaline rush and fighting for my life. I got in a couple punches. She shook them off, her fangs lengthening. She was going to bite me. Suddenly there was a loud crack and her head exploded, covering me in blood and brain matter. I scrambled to get her body off of me and CC stepped out to help me and drag me inside. " No one hurts my best friend!" She grabbed my gun and shoved into my hands. We have to help the guards till the rest of the enforcers get here!" I stood up, wiping my face on my sleeve, gunfire ringing through the house. We would do all we could to protect ourselves until help came.*
