Lucia felt he second Sterling, the real Sterling, stepped out of the forest. She didn’t need to look out the window to know he was there, and that he was coming for her. His aura shot out and reached her like she was its beacon. It wrapped her tight in its hold and paralyzed her with fear, much like it always had. This was familiar. This was her hell. Almost as if on auto-pilot, her body started to become immobilized with fear, but she remembered something: She had escaped him once before. She was free now.

She had Jaxson. She had her mate.

Yet still, her body would not move.

The door crashed open and in ran Stellan. Good, he was safe. She needed to protect him. She pushed herself and forced her body to move, running to him.

“Mommy, he’s here and it really is him this time.” Stellan told her as he crashed into her arms. “He’s gonna hurt Jaxson. I know he is!” he cried. Lucia was torn between running and helping Jaxson. What would the best course of action right now be? She had to keep Stellan safe. He was always her number one priority. But now, she also had a mate and they were tied. If that bond broke because Sterling killed Jaxson…no, she wouldn’t think of losing her mate after just having found him.

“I don’t think Sterling has brought many people with him. He’s arrogant so he thinks he could take on Jaxson alone.” Lucia knelt down in front of Stellan and grabbed his shoulders as her plan ran through her mind. “All we have to do is buy enough time for more of Jaxson’s pack to show up here. If we distract Sterling, it might give Jaxson the opening he needs to take him down.”

“How do you want to do that?”

“If we run out the back, Sterling will think we are escaping. He doesn’t expect us to run again, not with him this close.” Lucia grabbed a thick sweater and put it on Stellan.

“But…I think he will expect us to run.” Stellan said as Lucia put on her own sweater. “And if he expects us to run then someone will be waiting for us…” he trailed off as he stared out the back window. It would almost be too easy for them to escape. “Mommy, I think—” But Stellan never got to warn his mother. The back door crashing open was what alerted her. Frantically, Lucia turned and jumped towards her son at the same time.

There standing in her back doorway was Trenton and Sterling’s third. They both wore scowls and looked none too happy to be there.

“Well now, looks like our future Alpha is very smart.” Trenton sneered. “Let’s see if our Luna is also smart, will not bother fighting us, and will come quietly.”

“Stellan stay behind me!” Lucia ordered as she pushed her son behind her protectively. “I am not your Luna and we are not going anywhere with you!”

“Whoa, Isiah, looks like she she’s finally decided to grow a backbone and fight back.
