As the sirens pierced the silence, Dane sprung from bed, eyes wide as he realized what was happening.

| grabbed Kyra, forcing the tears back that threatened to spill over.

Now was not the time to cry.

| needed to pull it together, and show no fear.

Dane looked down at Kyra, who was beginning tocry in my arms.

“Everything will be okay, princess.”

He leaned down kissing her on her forehead before looking at me, “Let’s go meet Genesis and make sure Kyra is safe.

Then we will deal with Alpha King Apollo.”

To my surprise, everyone was calm as they made their way to where they needed to be.

Dane led me down a corridor through a doorway with a ramp going down.

Zayd and Adria were already there assisting those who needed help.

Genesis appeared beside them with Blaze at her feet.

His little face lit up when he saw us.

They all gave me a tight hug before Genesis reached for Kyra.

Looking down at my precious little girl made my stomach twist into knots.

What if | never see her again? Kyra was still crying as | handed her to Genesis, “We will all protect her with our lives, Luna.”

And with that, Genesis disappeared into the bunker with Kyra and Blaze.

“Dad, if anything happens...”

Dane was abruptly cut off by Zayd, “Son, don’t worry.

| may be old and wobbly, but | still have some fight left in me.”

Zayd pulled Dane into a bone-crushing hug, “Now go do what your best at.”

| could feel the confidence begin to roll off Dane in waves at his father’s words.

Dane slipped his hand into mine as he began to lead me back outside, “Let’s go show your dad why he shouldn’t have ever messed with us.”

As we quickly made our way outside, | could see the large crowd of members who had chosen to fight beside us on the training field.

My eyes scanned the crowd before finally focusing on Alpha White, Ash, and “How do you want to do this?”

Alpha White asked as we walked up to them.

Dane looked around, “How far away from the borders are they?”

Ash spoke up, | had never seen him this serious before, “Alarms were triggered when they were a mile out.

Trackers have reported that they should be at our border within ten minutes, Alpha.”

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes until our world will change.

Ten minutes until the biggest battle this pack has ever been in takes place.
