Arielle's POV

After finding Rhia's body in that passage of purple flowers a few of the pack warriors that came along with us picked up her broken body and carried it back to the pack house and brought her into the hospital area of the house. We placed her body in the morgue so that when all of this was over we could give her the right and respectable funeral service, we did not need to know what killed her because we could see what killed her... she was crushed from the inside I think basically every bone that was in her body was broken. I knew when I made eye contact with Zander as we stood over Rhia's body in the morgue that he was thinking the same thing that I was... This was my mother's doing. But why would my mother kill Rhia?

The past week has been hectic on everyone that is in the pack, many of the people that would be fighting in the battle were training all the women, children and men who were not fighting due to age, illness or pregnancy were going over what they had to do to make sure that they got into the underground safe house safely. We were also making sure that the safe house was stocked up on everything that the people that were going to be in there would need. I was pulled away from my thought about everything happening tonight by a warm hand being placed onto my right shoulder making me look over my shoulder to be met with Zander's face making Winter purr.

"Are you ready for tonight?"

I looked at Zander as I laid myself back against the leather chair that was in Zander's office as I looked up at his face meeting his eyes to see that they too just like mine held a small bit of fear. I shook the fear from my system as I sat up straight while shaking my head towards him letting a puff of air out of my lips

"No, but I know that I need to be strong for our pack. We will win this war and beat my mother, I promise you that Zander"

I watched as Zander did the same thing that I did and shook off the small bit of fear that he was feeling as he put on his 'alpha' mode, but before he could give me an answer his office door was opened and my uncle walked into the room followed by Zeke, Cara, Mikal, Nella and Alec. I gave each one of them a small smile as they came into the room which they all returned back to me as they took a seat in the chairs that were in the office.

"We need to get everyone in place including yourselves because it is already six pm, I have a feeling my sister is not going to hold off any longer."

I agreed with my uncle as I nodded my head at what he was saying, as I looked him over to see that it looked like he had not slept in a few days, seeing as he had light purple bags underneath his eyes.

"Okay uncle, then I need you to get everyone who will not be fighting in the battle and take them to the safe house and we will be off to our positions."

I did not really give him anytime to reply to what I told him as I had already stood up from the chair and was already out of the office and making my way out of the pack house to go to the east side of the property. When the majority of the people who were going to be in the battle was outside of the house we settled on a soft jog as we made our way towards where we would be. One we were a little ways away from the house one by one people started to jump in the air as they ran and transformed into their wolves as they continued running, including me as I jumped into the air twisting myself around as I turned into Winter.

I do not know how long we were out in the forest just waiting for the rogues to show up, but we waited... I felt as the cool breeze pushed through my white fur coat as I looked around at the pack member that were here with me waiting to protect their home from the filthy mutts that were trying to take it away from us. When the vicious sound of a growl echoed across the trees around us I knew that the rogues had arrived. When my eyes landed on the first rogue at first I was taken aback by the way that it looked, it had little to no fur on its body and the eyes were red.

The state that most of the wolves that were flooding past trees coming at my pack member did not stop me from letting out a vicious growl of my own as well as many of the people around me. I pounced on the first rogue that I saw come into my site, gagging internally at the smell that hit my nose, latching my mouth around his neck as I began twisting my head trying to get the wolves neck to break.

The rogue that I had latched in between my teeth put up a large fight even throwing me off a few times but I always went right back to having his neck in my teeth, and after a few more tries I finally heard the sound of his neck cracking as I let his body fall to the floor. The next wolf that I moved to had a bit more hair than the other one did and did not smell as bad, and was much more larger than I was. This one was much more difficult than the last one was to fight and halfway through the fight I felt as he sunk his razor sharp teeth into my neck pulling a chunk from it. When he pulled the skin from my neck I could not stop the loud whine of pain that fell from my lips as I felt the blood start to drip down my neck. Thinking that he was winning he started to slack in his battle efforts letting me get the upper hand against him and latch myself onto his jugular vain and have a quick tug at it successfully ripping it open and killing him.

This time after I killed the male wolf, I took a second too look around. This was another moment in the movies that everything in the movies would go in slow motion... I looked at each of my family as I seen them killing, no ripping each rogue apart... my eyes even spotted a few deceased members of my pack lying on the forest floor. My eyes finally found the wolf that they were looking for, Midnight, to see that Zander and him were fighting the largest of all the wolves that came at us... I smiled inside my head seeing that was Zander was winning against this black and white wolf. My smile fell as soon as my eyes landed on a grey wolf almost the same size as the one Zander was fighting sneaking up behind Zander. Upon seeing this I did the only thing any other mate would do in a situation like mine. I ran up to the big fella knocking my body into his making him stumble and then I latched my mouth onto his neck.

He quickly shook me off snarling at me which I returned to him just as loud as we continues biting and scratching at each others body. I felt as his mouth latched onto my neck locking his jaw as he started swishing from side to side until I heard my skin on my neck rip from my body, I knew that he took a large hole from my neck and I was going to bleed out in a matter of seconds, but I ignored that as Winter and I locked our jaw around his neck biting until we heard the sound of it snapping. I knew that my white fur was no longer white as my bloody was flooding out of my neck, my sight went away for a second before returning as I look around me to see my pack were now standing above rogues' corpse all breathing heavily and some having bloody coats. My eyes landed on Zander who was already looking at me whining as he took a step closer to me but before he could make it towards me my vision went from seeing my handsome mate to seeing nothing making me take a step backwards, which made me fall into a ditch behind me that I hadn't even notice was there.

Lying on my side in a mudding puddle of water I felt myself go from being in my wolf form into my human form as I shivered, not from the cold but from blood lose. I knew that my wolf healing would not heal something this severe as I could feel basically half of my neck missing as I struggle to breath. I could barely see anything and what I could see was blurry... I watched as human forms started to surround where I was lying on the ground as I watch Zander turn into his human form as he slid himself into the ditch running to where I was lying, not even caring that he was naked. Once he made it to my shaky form he slid his arms underneath me pulling me closer to his body as he looked at my neck with tear filled eyes.

I slightly sighed as tears rolled from my eyes, not from physical pain but from mental pain. I was not going to see this handsome face anymore I knew that by the looks around me I was going to die, I could feel that I was dying... my life was slowly draining away from me. I do not know how to explain how it felt to die but I could not longer feel the pain in my neck, I felt at peace being in my mates arms. I could feel the blood that caked my lips as I looked up at Zander's face that was looking at me in desperation. I felt like my body was floating on a cloud as I looked into Zander's eyes as more tears fell from my eyes.

"d-did we-e beat th-them?"

When I asked him the he kind of let out a breathy laugh as tears flowed openly from his brown eyes. I felt as his hand cupped my face making me slowly bring up my left hand to cup his as he looked into my eyes.

"Yes we did I just got word from all the sectors, all rogues are dead, only a few casualties from the pack happened"

"good"

I felt myself smile at the news that my pack won against my mother, well so to speak... I mean she did end up getting me to die. I could feel as my eyelids started to become heavy, I was getting really tired all I wanted to do was go to sleep. Before I could fully close them I was shaken back into the real world

"Hey hey beautiful, you need to stay awake for me, okay?. I've already called for the pack Doctor. You'll be okay. I know you will"

I felt as my hand dropped to the floor as he placed his hand over my gaping neck as he looked at me in desperation. I took in his face knowing that this was going to be the last time that I would ever see him as I let a smile grow onto my face. I knew that our pack doctor could not save me, I could literally feel death creeping up on me. I was glad that our pack won against the rogue, they were safe now. I was going to die in the arm of my first love, my only love, the man who brought light back into my otherwise dark life.

"I love you Z-Zander"

Once I breathed that out I left a cough fall from my lips spraying blood all over Zander's nude torso and then my head lulled to the side and my eyes closed and the world around me faded from existence as the last thing that I heard was my mate's voice.

"No, No please don't leave me"

Third Person POV

*during the battle*

Marcusselious was standing in the office of Zander Black, his niece's mate drinking a glass of bourbon, having came in there after everyone was safely in the safe house that was underneath the house. He was looking out the window at all the coas that was happening outside the house when he heard the door to the office open. He set the glass of bourbon down on the window seal not even taking his eyes away from the window, already knowing who entered the room he was in.

"Hello dear sister, I was wondering when you would come looking for me. Come to finish me off after so many centuries?"

When he finished his sentence he turned himself around so that he was facing his twin sister, who he had not seen in so many centuries. Amandalyn was looking at her older twin with a smile on her face as he stalked closer to where he was standing as she looked him in the eyes

"Well I thought since I killed your child, I should do the same with you... So yes I am here to finish you off older brother"

Once Amandalyn said this it only confused Marcusselious because he has never had any children, not even when he was a god. So what child was his sister speaking of?

"Sister you must be more daft than I remember you to be for I have no child, I can not make children no longer. I also can not die courtesy of our father so good luck on killing me sister."

When Marcusselios said this a second of surprise passed over Amandalyn's face, whether it being for him saying that he did not know about having the child or that his father made it to where he could no longer die. But the look of surprise was quickly gone from her face as a look of pride came onto her face.

"Yes dear brother that pathetic Rhia girl just so happens to be your child and if father took your ability of dying away then I'll just have to give you a few bumps and bruises"

Marcusselios did not even have time to process that he had a child that his sister killed before Amandalyn moved in inhuman speed towards Marcusselios pushing his body into the glass case that Zander had in his office making glass enter into Marcusselios' skin on his back as he looked up at his sister who was stalking up to him. He could feel as the blood dripped from his face as his goddess sister gripped the back of his head by his hair throwing punch after punch into his face, successfully breaking his nose in the process.

Marcusselios knew that he was no match for his sister, he just did not have the powers like she did... he was basically mortal. Right before she went to hit him again he watched as a sinister smile made its way onto her face as she looked him in the eyes as she looked out the window that was to the right of them.

"My work here is done. Arielle Winters is finally dead"
