“No, Luna, they appear to be fully on our side and against Edmond. There is no malice in their hearts toward us. He has spoken only the truth, despite his initial anger.”

“When did you scan him?” Joaquin asked.

“Both in the yard and just after the explosion.” He was as efficient as ever, that was for sure.

“Good, then we don’t have to worry that this was a set up.” Joaquin nodded to him. “Riviana, you stay out of the way while I handle this.”

“I can help too, Joaquin.” I tried to argue with him.

“NO!” He nearly shouted the words. “I will not risk you or our baby. Please, stay out of the fight.” He was begging me and I couldn’t argue against protecting my baby as well.

“Fine, I will stay out of the way.”

“Thank you.” He kissed my head and called David, Rawlynne, Jackson, and Shane over to me. “Protect her, don’t let anything happen to her.” His order was received by everyone, including Jackson, as they all nodded their heads in agreement. “Juniper, Griffin, come here and stay with them.” He was meaning to protect everyone that hadn’t been trained to fight, but he also knew that if it came down to it, Griffin and Juniper would fight for me.

I watched on in horror as half the building around me exploded. We had not been paying attention to what the warlocks were saying around us. But apparently, talks between Crawford and Edmond were not going well.

“You will be the first to die as my days of ruling this pathetic world comes to fruition.” Edmond sounded insane, more so than usual.

“We will not let this slide.” Crawford snapped at him. “This is not how we are to use our magic.”

“You know nothing.” Edmond bellowed as the debris from the destroyed building began to swirl around the room amid the purple smoke that was beginning to fill it. “You may now face the first wave of my army.” There was laughter in his voice as a horde of misshapen beasts flooded into the room.

The monstrosities looked like a cross among different species of super naturals. There was one that was a bear and bird combined. I saw a merman and feline combination among several others that I simply couldn’t describe. They were somewhere in between their human and animal forms, more beast like in appearance but human enough to walk and throw punches. And the sounds coming from them were the most pitiful, painful screeches I had ever heard. Immediately I was sickened and saddened at the same time. What did he do to these people?

I watched as the fighting started. Monsters leaping toward the warlocks and wolves alike. The guards and warriors were responding with fierce determination and a desire to protect us all. There were nearly five dozen monsters in total, there were nine among our party that were not busy protecting me and the others. On top of them, there were at least three dozen warlocks swarming around the room. We were still outnumbered, but not by as much as we could have been. I wasn’t worried at all.

That was, until I saw another dozen monsters break through the side of the house, and they were lumbering straight toward me. I saw a look of shock wash over Juniper’s face. It was matched by the look on Griffin’s face, he was a healer not a fighter. The guards around us readied themselves, knowing just what they needed to do. Any moment now, there would be a full out battle in our secluded little corner. I had tried to stay away from the fight, but the fight literally came to me. Joaquin might be mad, but I had no choice now.

Joaquin **

I had just told my little mate to wait with the guards I assigned her when the building exploded around us. The beasts I saw flooding into the room was nearly enough to turn my stomach. The sight of them was sickening, but I needed to protect my mate.

The warlocks around us were casting spell after spell toward the beasts, but the magic didn’t seem to be doing as much damage as I thought it would. I had to wonder if Edmond had given them some kind of shield.

No matter, I would still rip them apart. I was stronger and faster now than I was even after my Little Bunny had placed a mark on me. Once I had been given the position as commander of the Goddess Guard I could feel the power coursing through me. And that power wasn’t just in my wolf form either. I leapt, still in human form, toward a beast. It was the size of two people, twice as tall and twice as wide but with no intelligence what-so-ever. It seemed that Edmond was controlling them with that swirling purple fog he seemed to enjoy using.

When I met the half wolf half deer beast mid leap I latched onto its arms. I felt the immense strength that it had, but it was nothing compared to mine. I pulled its arms down easily, forcing them to its sides. While I pushed those hideous limbs out of the way I heard the snapping of bones, but the creature just didn’t seem to notice.

Even with two broken arms, the monster continued to come toward me, fighting me. When I looked into its eyes I saw an empty soulless expression. Whatever Edmond had done to these people to make them this way had killed everything about them. It seemed like he was taking not just children recently, but people from every shifter class there was.

These were my people. I was their king, but I couldn’t protect them from this psychotic warlock. I had not known of their existences, nor their suffering. But now here I was seeing the outcome of their lives. I was fighting against my people and I could do nothing about it. Right then and there I vowed I would not let my people suffer like this ever again.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t stop this from happening to you. All I can promise now is to end your suffering torment and do what I can to stop it from happening again.” I said to the beast before me just as I finished yanking on its arms, separating them from its body. Still I heard nothing from the creature.

The thing was still coming at me, its head lowered so that its horns were pointing toward my head. I knew I needed to finish it off, I couldn’t dwell too long with one monster with so much going on around us.

I swung myself up behind the thing and latched onto its neck. I yanked him down to be on my level. I was not a short man by any standards, but this thing dwarfed me like I was a child.

With the beast bent over backwards, allowing me to plant my feet on the floor for leverage, I pulled hard. The sounds coming from the thing were beyond terrible. The snapping of bones and ligaments. The tearing of flesh, sinew, and cartilage. These sounds reverberated in my ears as I pulled hard on the things head.

The moment the monster’s body separated from its head I heard its gurgling screeches cease. Also, I was sprayed along one side of my body, head to foot, in the spray of blood and other fluids that arced from its falling body.

I scanned my immediate area for my next target, and that’s when I felt my stomach drop to the soles of my feet and my heart stop beating altogether. There were a dozen monsters bearing down on the group I had left my mate in. These were not part of the original group that came in, but another set that had just broken through the side of the building.

On top of the monsters, there was debris falling all around them. I had left them in a corner, hoping that they would be safer that way. Now, with the falling debris and the monsters approaching them they had nowhere to escape.

“Noah!” I called out to him as I ran to protect my mate.

Noah knew instantly what I needed, what I wanted, and started racing to help. He was almost as covered in blood and gore as I was from the creature he had just finished off, but unlike me he was in his wolf form.

I leapt, quick as lightning, onto the back of another beast, this one seeming to have part of an eagle shifter as it reached toward me with hands covered in large talons. I would not let these beasts hurt my mate or my baby.

The monster’s neck snapped under my arms and stopped moving. It slumped to the floor, falling out of my grasp as I sought another target. I would need to kill them as quickly as I could to protect everyone.

One after another Noah and I helped David, Otsana, and Shane destroy the monsters. We had cut their numbers in half and were steadily moving on to the others when I heard Juniper scream out.

“Get back!” One of the creatures was close enough to grab her now. She and Riviana had moved to the side to avoid the corner a little as the battle was waging around them.
