Rori-POV
The rouges are coming from every single driection. Everyone immideatly springs into action.
I can hear Alpha Light Angle shout instractions to her worriors before she quickly gave her daughter to her mate and ordered him to go to the main pack house. Her mate immideatly took their daughter and asked the childern to follow him to safty.

I didn't even get to react much before a rouge wolf jumps towards me. I was caught off guard as the wolf tackled me to the ground.
It looks exactly like a savage wolf but i can see it. The shadow looming over the rouge. I caught a glimps of the rouges' eyes and saw that they were swearling black.
I can't shift here. Phoebe had warned me multiple times to never let anyone know that i am a lioness. So, instead of letting my beast out and ripping this creature to pieces, i connected my fist with its jaw and quickly reached out for my arrows. Only, i had forgotten that i wrapped them with thick leather and it would take time to access my arrows.
That is when i started to panic. I have two assets. My beast and my arrows, yet i am unable to use either of them.
The rouge goes for my throat and i quickly doudged to the side. The rouge sinks its claws in my shoulder as it went for another try at my throat. But this time, something rips it off of me.
I looked up to see Adalwolf snick his hands between the rouges' mouth and ripped his jaw off of its head. He immideatly kneels down next to me and held my injured shoulder to stop the bleeding.

"Shit, Rori. That looks deep." He kept one of his hands pressed against my wound as he used the other to pull me closer to him.
I would heal in a few minutes but he didn't need to know that. For all he know, i'm still a weak human.
He wrapped one arm around me, looking all determined to wisk me away from the danger but i saw a shadow stalking over to us.
"Adal, Look out." I screamed and he quickly reacted by pushing me out of the way. As adalwolf took on the rouge, i took my quiver off my shoulder and started ripping at the leather.

My hands shook as i tried to unwrap the leather. I looked over to adalwolf and saw another shadow advancing towards him yet he had absolutly no idea.
I dug through the leather until the silver finally peaked out and i quickly fought against it to pull the bow out. As soon as i had my bow and quiver free, i slapped an arrow against my bow and streched the string.
I took an aim at the rouge coming behind Adalwolf and let the arrow go. It tore through the air like light speed and struck the rouge on the side of its head.
I quickly took another arrow and shot the rouge Adalwolf was fighting. When the rouge hits the ground, Adalwolf turns to look at me.
"Hurry, help the others..." i yelled at him and ran to the other direction before he could stop me.
Now that i had my quiver over my shoulder, i pulled arrow after arrow and took out as many rouges' as i can.
While i was in the middle of reaching for an arrow, i heard a despreate scream. I turn around to see Phoebe on the ground with a rouge ontop of her.
"Phoebe..." i called out as i reached for my arrow but before i could even pull my elbows back, a giant brown wolf pounced ontop of the rouge and ripped its head off its neck.
As soon as the rouge is dead, the wolf pushed it off Phoebe and pushed its head under her arm to help her up. It must be Brandon.
Kowing that Phoebe was in safe hands, i rushed to the direction where there were more growls.
I had an arrow ready to shoot a rouge when my eyes traved to the right to see a giant bear figthing the rouges. The bear didn't look like it needed any help but my Lioness wouldn't let me look away.
So i aimed my arrow towards him and took out the rouge that was on his back. Next i killed the one trying to bite the bears' leg. One by one, i shot the rouges attacking the bear until there were no more.
The bears head snapped over to me and i felt that weird force pulling me again. I didn't get to stand around and wonder what it was though.
Another force pulls me and i turned around to see a rouge running towards the direction of where the doungens were. The exactly same doungen that stranger from last night was chained at.
I shoulden't care if something happens to him. He is in the doungens for a reason. Yet, i found my legs turning to that direction.
I didn't even take a step before a rouge came from behind me and sank its fangs in the injured shoulder.
A scream rips from my throat as i tried to reach for my arrows only to find out that i was all out.
The rouge started to drag me backwards to the forest, just like those shadows tried to do the first time i shifted.
I tired to free myself but it was useless. The rouge had a death grip on my shoulder and i wasn't about to let go. But seconds later, a giant gray wolf with dark circles around its right eye jumped out of nowhere and ripped the wolf away from me.
I didn't even stop to look if the rouge was dead. I immidealty ran towards the direction of the doungen. I plugged one silver arrow out of a dead rouges' body as i made a run for it.
When i got to the werehouse, the door was ripped open. Not paying any mind to the iron around the cell, i rushed down the stairs and saw the rouge breaking through the cell bars and it makes a slow approach to the man chained with silver.
I went to shoot the rough only to realize that i had dropped my bow while the rouge was dragging me away. So, without thinking, i launched myself on the rough and tackled it to the ground.
The iron bars on the cell burned my hands when i used them to push me up. The silver arrow was lost from my hand in the process and i was left to fight with my hands. But my Lioness is right there with me.
I connected my fist with the side of the rouges head and heard it whimper before it tired to attack again. The rouge swipped me off my feet and didn't give me a change to react as it punced ontop of me and went for my throat.
I used my forearm as a shiled and the rough bit hard on it. It growled furiously as it tried to rip my arm away from my throat.
My silver arrow caught my attention and i reached my other arm to grab it, but it was too far away.
I screamed as the rough bit down harder on my arm and that's when i heard the chains move.
At the corner of my eyes, i can see the stranger fighting aginst the chains to free himself. I have no idea where he found his sudden strength but he ripped the chains off the wall and wrapped them around the rouges' neck.
The stranger immideatly pulled back in the chains and the rouge was off of me. So i crowled as fast as i can towards my arrow. As soon as it is in my hand, i pushed in to the rouges left eye and it died in an instant.
When the rouge went limp on the chains, the stranger let it go and started on breaking the silver off his wrist.
When i tried to stand, i felt the energy getting pulled out of me and i fell down on my back. My breath became shallow and i know the iron was getting too much for my lioness to handel. I need to get out of here, but i have no strength left to do it myself.
The stranger finished breaking the chains off of him and quickly turned around and rushed to the door only to stop. This is his only chance to escape yet he stopped.
He, just like me was breathing hard as he turned around to glare at me.
"Why are you laying there?" He demmanded an answer in a strong and rough voice yet, i was too weak to answer.
"Iron..." was all i could say before i lost my voice.
The stranger looked at the door then back at me. He runs his fingers through his long hair before he growled. What ever battle he was fighting, he seemed to have lost as he rushed over to me.
He scooped me off the floor as if i weigh absolutely nothing and ran up the stairs. As soon as he stepped out of the door, i felt the air returning to my lungs agian.
The stranger lays me down the the ground and pinched my chin with two finger to look me over.
"Are you okay?" He asked but was interupted with roughs rushing over to us. But, the creatures didn't get too close to us as the giant bear and gray wolf from earlier came to our rescure.
The stranger stayed by myside as the two shifters finished up the rouges. As soon as they were done, they walked over to us and i felt that pull once again coming from all three of them.
I slowly sat up and looked at each of them as they do as well. It looks like i'm not the only one feeling this pull. All four of us do.
A wolf, A bear, a Lioness and what ever shifter the stranger is...we have a connection but what? Why?
