"You and Shane be careful too," Harper and Parker tell her and Shane through their links.

Winter and Shane nod their heads. He pats Winter's thigh we should spend some time with Little Star "I would love to do that. Now since Nick and Roe are gone, we can finally hold them" Winter laughs as "Be careful you two. I want everyone to come back unharmed."

em before we leave." d Shane stand up.

They see Autumn and Sacha walking toward them. Autumn is upset because Winter has ordered her toyot the palace. She wants to fight beside her sister and the others. Winter doesn't give her time to say anything. "No Autumn I have made my decision and there isn't anything you can say will change it. Besides I want you and Sacha to stay with the twins. Do them out of your sight." She takes her sister and brother's hands. "Do this for me. I'll feel a lot better." u have to focus on the battle."

Autumn doesn't say anything for a few minutes, she inhales "Okay, we can't have your mind on my nie Shane looks at her concerned about her words. He sees that it did calm Autumn down. Sacha shooks his head looking at Autumn walking down the hall. "When will she learn you by now. You don't want her to get hurt." Sacha walks behind his sister.

"Damn that is one intelligent young man. You had me worried for a minute." Shane picks Win up bridal style and walks upstairs.

She buries her head in his chest. Autumn is like I was at her age. She will be a great fighter one day. She still has a lot to learn. This battle against the Stonewalls isn't the one to test her in."

He carries her to the nursery where the twins are sleeping. Winter is still in his arms when she picks up Little Gem then Star. Shane sits down in one of the rockers with his family and starts rocking. Winter is singing You Are My Sunshine.

Sabrina is cracking up listening to Irving. He's telling her about the fight and him drinking and talking with Cooper and the others.

"Damn I had fun. I haven't enjoyed myself like that in a long damn time." Irving pours him and her a glass of wine.

"See what happens when you listen to our son and play nice." She chuckles.

Irving nods his head. "Yes, I do. I'm looking forward to having another grandfather's night out." He's looking at Nicholas, Roe talking to the higher ranks.

Then Nick takes Roe's hand and walks into the den where his parents are. "Tonight, I don't want either of you outside. It's just a precaution. Roe and I won't be here. Half of her pack will be here."

"I'm not going to ask what is going on. I'm only going to say is for both and you to be careful" Sabrina walks over and hugs them.

"I take it this has something to do with Stonewalls" Irving downs his wine and walks over to the bar to pour him something stronger this time.

Nicholas walks to stand beside him. "Yes, it is. Thank you for tonight. Winter, Shane, Roe, and I appreciate what you, King Reese, and the others did."

Irving pat Nicholas's shoulder. "Those are my grandpups. We have to keep them safe. I'll die for them."

Nicholas leans his head s little and stares at him "I believe you" He hugs Irving

Sabrina is looking at them thinking. "I never thought I would see this day."

"Alpha, they're here" Kim walks into the room.

"Thank you" Nick looks at Kim than at his mate. "Gumdrop, that's our queue to be on our way."

Denzel and Zylus have been trying to stay out of Tomi's sight. They can't afford for her to remember them especially right now. He has been trying to figure out what is Manny and Manuel not telling him and his men. He saw Manny speaking with Oden about twenty minutes ago, Now Odin has disappeared. He starts looking around the yard and notices that some of the Stonewall men are also gone.

Zylus and some of Denzel's men have been looking for Odin when Manny calls everyone to the middle of the yard. Manuel is looking toward the woods while his brother is waiting for all the men. Manuel is also looking at Denzel thinking "Something about his a*s rubs me the wrong f*****g way. I'll kill his a*s during the battle. That would also save us a lot of money."

"Tonight is a preview of the battle that we'll fight soon. This will show you what you need to improve on. Remember don't leave anyone alive." Manny looks a tt the men than at Denzel.

Denzel nods his head. After the meeting ended Zylus and two more inform Denzel that Odin left with two hundred men.

"f**k. "Where in the hell did, they go?" watch your backs.

Inside the house, Tomi is still on cloud nine and hoping that Manuel doesn't make it out of the fight alive. She has been fantasizing about making love to Denzel. She didn't hear Manuel and Manny walking into the room.

"What the hell is wrong with your woman?" Manny points at her

"Besides crazy as hell who knows. Her a*s has been acting strange lately." Manuel taps her shoulders 'Earth to Tomi. Bring your a*s back to earth."

She jumps and looks at him ' Damn I don't know what I was thinking. Well, I guess I better be on my way." She stood up "I'll meet you two at the usual place."

"Not this time. You're going with us." Manny shook his head

"What?" She yells looking back and forth at the two brothers.

Everyone here has to fight. I told your a*s not to come. But no, you didn't listen. Now you will just have to join the rest of us. Now you can get your mind on something else. Hell, you were probably thinking about a way to spend my damn money. Let's go" Manuel is walking out the door behind Manny

"I didn't come here to fight. Damn it" Tomi screams and stomps her feet.

A couple of hours later, Winter, Shane, Nicholas, Roe, Nayla, Traylor, Angie, and Kristoff are on the patio.

"Are you sure that they will attack tonight?" Angie looks at Winter.

Now everyone is looking at Winter beside Shane. He's looking at the woods in the north.

"Yes, I'm sure they will. Just be patient. Angie, you have never had any patients. Just sit there and flirt with your mate." Winter points at Angie kissing Kristoff's neck

Traylor ad Nayla is looking toward the south. Then they look at one another. "Be careful Nay" He whispers on her lips.

"You too, my love" She gives him a peck on his lips

Nicholas and Roe are staring to the west. "Stay close to me, Gumdrop" He kisses her forehead.

Roe rubs his chest "That was my plan, sweetheart.

Shane kisses his mark on Winter's neck. "Star Eyes I love you. Optimus and I don't want you and Rieka out of our sight. Don't forget we have a date tomorrow night."

"My handsome McDreamy, Rieka, and I never want you or Optimus out of our sight either. A date. I'm looking forward to it." She licks his lips.

He winks at her and smiles. Then his smile fades when he sees her serious expression

"Something is wrong." She looks at Nicholas. "Tell your pack to be ready. Some are on their way there.

"s**t, I had a feeling that a*****e would do that" Nicholas hit the chair arm with his fist.

Shane is about to ask Winter how did she know. When Lanita run to the patio. "Roe you were right my mate is a rogue. A rogue that we will have to kill." She falls to the floor and sits down crying.

Roe squats down and hugs her. "I'm sorry. I was only teasing you. I wasn't serious."

Winter laughs "We have one impatience warrior and a drama queen Beta." She looks at the woods in the south. "Girl there your mate is. He isn't a rogue. Wipe those tears and go meet your mate. It seems that he wants you too." She's pointing at Harper, Parker, and their mates walking in front of Denzel, Zyuls, and hundreds of warriors walking behind them.

"Aww Star Eyes would you like to fill us in on all of this?" She looks at her confused.

Nicholas is also looking at her confused "I agree with your McDreamy."

"Manny needed more men so I had Denzel and some of the warriors pretend to be rogues for hire. They were my backup plan. I thought you two would go after the Stonewalls without me. I couldn't have that. Thanks to Ophelia my plan worked." Nicholas is commutating with Blake. "You enlisted Morlock's pack to fight with my pack."

"Yes, after listening to everything you two told me about the Stonewalls I knew that they would be greedy and go after your pack soon. Kristoff, thanks to Nayla some of their pack is at your place. See I love it when a plan comes together. "Winter is looking at Lanita and Denzel wrapped around each other. "It's time to kill these bastards.

In the woods in the direction that Shane was looking at earlier. Manny, Manuel, and Tomi wolves shifts and are getting dressed.

"This is going to be easy as hell. Yep like taking candy from a baby." Manny is walking over across to the edge of the woods to look at Aurora's backyard. "What are they doing here?" He's looking at Winter, Shane, Nicholas, and Kristoff.

"I have no f*****g idea. But I have a better question, my dear brother. What in the hell are the bastards that we paid half of their damn money walking toward the patio. I told you it was something about his a*s that I didn't like." Manuel is staring at Denzel walking with a woman wrapped around him.

"That lying bastard. I knew I had seen him before. That is Queen Winter's cousin and head of the royal pack special force." Tomi is pointing at Denzel thinking "His sexy a*s played me like a damn fiddle."
