When the howl goes up that we’re under attack, Mason and I jump out of bed. He’s out the door and shifted before I can follow him. I try to shift but I’m not able to.

After what happened with Typhon, Mason had a door that leads to a safe room installed on our floor. I rush to the end of the hall, hearing the sounds of crashing and snarling behind me.

“Mason is in the packhouse fighting, any wolves in the packhouse, get to your Alpha. Fight!” I shout through the mind link as I rip open the door. I hear the snarls of Elijah’s wolf and I know he’s jumped into the fight as well.

I move into the stairwell. It’s dark, but I don’t need light to see. I rush down a flight of stairs, before seeing a door open on the stairwell below.

“Go, Jace. Luna Jara will be there momentarily. Help protect our Luna.” I hear Joe say.

“I’m here.” I call, rushing faster down the stairs. “Where’s Stella?” I ask.

“She went to get Brynn and Melinda, she’ll bring them to the safe room. Go!” Joe says before closing the door. I reach over and turn the lock on the door from our side before taking Jace’s hand.

“Come on, Jace, let’s go.”
