Zander's POV (Before the attack)

I was currently in the huge library in my house getting my king lessons. Yep, that's right, I've been getting king lessons and have been completely busy, that's why I haven't been to school or talked to my friends.

You must be asking why I couldn't just get my phone and text them or call them. Well, my monster of a dad has made sure that I have no way to contact anyone outside of the house. Plus, he has been loading me with work so that I barely have time for even a wink of sleep.

Yes we do sleep no matter what the books or movies say. We also can eat normal food as long as we have blood at some point of the day.

I zone back into my father's second-in-command teaching me about how I'm supposed to rule. The clock chimes, signaling the lessons were done.

On my way to my room, I overhear two of my soldiers talking.

"Can you believe we're finally attacking those mutts?!" one of the guards shouted excitedly.

"Yeah, especially that Crescent Moon Pack its-"

"What?!" I ask them.

They look at me and quickly bow and say, "Prince Zander."

"What's this you say about an attack on the Crescent Moon Pack?!" I demanded as I knew that it was Arron's pack.

They stay silent as if debating whether to tell me or not. I glared at them and transfixed/ordered them to tell me.

"Th-the king sent some s-soldiers to attack them," one of them said shaking in fear.

I quickly jetted out of the house. Using my vampire speed, I quickly ran to the house, all with various thoughts in my head. What if they hurt Kat or Daphne? I mean sure they might not even be there but still.

Once I saw the house from a distance, I can already see that they were fighting. I smelt the air to see if I got Kat's and Daphne's smell. They're here. Shit.

I ran towards the house, as that is where they are since that's where their scent was coming from. I went inside just to see a vampire, who I happen to know is Jack and was an asshole soldier of mine, lunge at Daphne.

I say was an asshole because I lunged at him and decapitated him before he could harm Daphne. I see that Daphne has a hurt leg and Kat is just standing there, frozen and with wide eyes.

Daphne drags herself to the man on the ground that was bleeding like crazy. Once she got to him, he talked to her.

"Da-daphne," he said coughing.

"I'm here," she tells him.

"T-tell Luke t-that I love him and Marissa as w-well," the man said, with tears in his eyes.

"I w-will" she told him, her voice wavering like she was crying.

"And Daphne, you'll be a great Luna," he said with his last breath.

She broke down in tears but that's when Luke came in and shit got down.

Question of the chapter: Well do you have any questions you'd like to ask me?

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

Arron's POV

We were fighting the vampires. I'm not sure whether we were winning or losing because there were as many hurt vampires as there were werewolves. But, for some strange reason, the vampires suddenly stopped fighting and retreated.

I looked around me and saw that a lot of my pack was hurt.

I mind linked the not so hurt ones and said 'People that are not hurt, help the ones that are and take them to the pack doctor, then I need someone to go check on the safe house to see if the children and women are all okay'

They answer with a 'yes Alpha' and I quickly leave to go check on Daphne.

Luke, Ben and Sydney followed me into the house. Luke was the first one to go in and I see him freeze up by the door, blocking me from going in. Then, I see he lunges at something or someone. As I go in through the door fully, I take everything that is happening in.

I see Luke attacking Zander, I see Kat frozen in the corner, and Daphne on the floor with blood coming out of her leg which is all over the floor next to my dead third in command. One of my best friend's dad. I'm frozen at scene in front of me. Ben reacts quicker than me, and goes and pries Luke off of Zander. Luke has tears in his eyes and is all bloody. Once he finally calms down, Ben lets go and he kneels by his dad.

He takes him from Daphne and sobs hard. He gives out a howl full of distress and sadness. I hear the rest of the pack howl in sadness as they now know that the third in command has been lost today. Daphne and Ben try to calm him. It seemed that we were all crying, even me. I mean he was like a second father to me. I quickly stopped crying though as I remembered I'm the Alpha. Alphas don't cry.

I went up to Daphne and gently picked her up. She was full on sobbing and hugged me tight. I see that Sydney, even though she was sobbing herself, is trying to comfort an unresponsive Kat that just has wide eyes. I mind link everyone except Ben and Luke, and tell them to give Luke a moment and to not come into the house. I see Sydney take Kat outside, Zander following after them.

I take Daphne upstairs to my room and into the bathroom, where I set her on the counter. I get the first aid kit, not bothering to take her to the pack doctor as I knew they would be busy and wouldn't have time to help her as they were working on the more critically hurt people.

I started cleaning her wound as she kept crying. I had already stopped crying but still felt completely sad inside. As I was finishing, she said she wanted to take a shower. I left and she got in the shower while I got her a towel and some of my clothes.

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

Daphne's POV

I hopped in the shower and took a long hot one. Well actually, I didn't hop in, considering my hurt leg, I just sat down in the tub and took my shower. Once I was done, I got out as best as I could because I didn't want help. Help would mean Arron coming in to help and seeing me naked. No way!

I wrapped the towel that I knew wasn't there before, around my body. I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw a glassy and bloodshot eyed girl, with a red nose. I looked away and dressed myself in clothes that were way to big on me. That meant that they must belong to Arron. In another ocassion, I would have blushed and asked for other clothes but I was too emotionally drained.

I struggled out of the bathroom and saw Arron laying on his bed. I saw that he was filled with scratches that I hadn't noticed before. As he saw me, he scrambled out of bed and came to help me. He, took me back in the bathroom though.

I gave him a confused look and he said, "I need to wrap your leg." He set me on the counter and started wrapping it.

Once he was done I said, "Your turn." This he looked confused and said, "But I don't need to be bandaged."

"No but you do have scratches all over you that need some help," I told him.

He shook his head but I ignored him and started tending to his wounds. After I was done, I put the things back in the first aid kit.

As I was, he said, "You missed a spot."

"Where?" I asked him.

He looked down and pointed, "Down there," he said.

"No! I ain't going anywhere near there! Get your head out of the gutter," I tell him with a blush creeping on my face.

He smirks and says, "What do you mean? I meant my leg, now who's the one with the mind in the gutter?"

I feel my face turn even redder as I say, "Oh."

I look down at the tile as I hear his husky chuckle and shreak as I am suddenly picked up. He takes me to the bed and lays me down. He tucks me in, even if it's still early, and sits next to me. I start to fall asleep, but right before I completely did, I feel the weight next to me disappear. I look and see that Arron is leaving.

"No, stay," I tell him blushing a little again.

Curse those freaking blushes.

He smiles at me and saids, "Whatever you want." He lays down with me and hugs me.

I quickly fall asleep in the warm and comfiness of my mate's arms.
