qNaya and Zara ran as fast as their legs could carry them while Magnus' men chased them.

"Over there" Zara pointed at a direction as they both diverted, she would have long shifted to her wolf form as she would be faster that way, but Naya has never shifted before and she could not afford to leave Naya all by herself, she was her responsibility.

"Arrh" Naya yelled in pain, falling to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Zara asked quickly,

"Yes, yes, I'm fine" Naya replied, as Zara helped her up to her feet as they continued running.

"Move faster Naya"Zara motioned for Naya to move faster, their pursuers were almost near, there's no escaping Magnus once he catches up with them.

"What do we go Zara?" Naya asked, from the look of things there was no hope for them.

The pack was damn quiet, there was no living soul around.

Magnus must have planned this well enough and definitely knew the right time to strike, the time when everyone would be less prepared.

Today was meant to be a day of joy, but it has turned to a day of mourning instead

She lost everyone, her mother, father,her best friend Bella. Just when she realized Bella was not a true friend, then she lost her mate who rejected her.

Zara lost her mate too, lots of lives were gone, Zara was the only family she had left.

She looked up to the sky to see that the full moon was almost gone.

A tear dropped from her eyes, as she looked away from the moon.

Everyone in her pack anticipated the full moon but it seemed to have brought nothing but bad luck to them.

"Come we'll find somewhere to hide" Zara dragged Naya's wrist leading her to a very dark corner thanks to their abilities they could see quite well in the dark.

"Shhh" Zara motioned for her sister to keep quiet as they slowly walked into the garage at the side of their house.

"You know driving a car won't stop them from catching us," Naya informed seeing her sister open a car.

"We're not driving" came Zara's reply, she got into the car with Naya and to Naya's dismay, Zara opened a door at the foot of the car.

"Go in, quick" Zara beckoned and Naya quickly began to climb the door, the door led to a ladder, Zara followed after her, closing the door after she had climbed in.

"We should be safe for now" she signed in relief as Naya looked around the place, it was an underground building.

"What's this place?" She asked curiously, she has never heard back of a place like this before.

"We're beneath our house Naya, dad built this a long time ago and no one knows of this place asides from dad, mom and I" she explained.

"We should be safe for now, it's soundproof " she said,

"Oh my god, Zara " Naya gasped, falling helplessly to the ground, as she began to cry uncontrollably.

"We're doomed Zara " she sobbed as her sister sat beside her placing her hands around her shoulders.

"Mom, dad, everyone, they're gone Zara" she whimpered sadly.

"I know" Zara sniffled, the pain of losing a mate, her parents, pack, everything was weighing down on her.

But she had to be strong, not only for herself, but for her sister.

"You just have to be strong Naya" she said fighting back her tears, she should be consoling her sister not crying with her.

"You know what?" Naya began,

"I found my mate today" she stammered sadly,

"But he rejected me on sight saying I was weak and useless" Naya chuckled dryly, Roderick's voice replaying on her head, it stung her really hard.

"You're not useless Naya, you're not weak" Zara said assuringly stroking her back slowly.

"I think I am Zara," Naya cried, wiping tears from her eyes.

"I'm very weak"

"He rejected me because of Bella, I could never believe my best friend could do such a thing"

"She went behind my back spreading rumors about me and…"

"Shhh" Zara instantly stopped her sister from speaking.

"I think they're coming, " she said, listening to the approaching footsteps.

"What do we do now Zara, we can't afford to get caught " Naya asked in fear.

Magnus was known for using women the way he liked, she could never imagine what he would do to her and her sister once he laid his hands on them.

"We run" Zara stood up quickly, dragging her sister's wrist.

"Come with me" they walked till they got to a strong metallic gate.

"You know we can't hide here anymore, they'll sniff us out" Naya uttered In worry.

"We're not hiding, we're leaving here for good"

"Help me with this" together they lifted the metallic gate.

"Wow" Naya gasped at the sight of a car.

"Get in now" Zara screamed, the footsteps were getting near.

They quickly got into the car, Zara on the wheel, she turned the ignition switch accelerating the car backwards.

"Hold still" she uttered, and almost immediately she drove straight through the wall, breaking it to pieces.

"Are you alright?" She asked Naya who shook her head.

"Good," she muttered while driving the car at high speed.

"There coming Zara" Naya alerted, how did Magnus catch up with them this quickly?

"Just hold still" Zara voiced out, hitting the wheels like a mad woman, driving straight into the woods.

"Oh shit"Naya cursed, not only were cars pursuing them, their pursuers had also transformed to wolves, there's no escaping Magnus today, because werewolves in their wolf forms are ten times stronger than a car.

"Can you handle a gun?" Zara asked as Naya nodded, she had handled a gun a few times before.

"Good, here" Zara handed her a gun.

"Use it on any wolf that comes near us" Zara instructed.

"And be careful, the bullets contain wolfsbane"

"I will," Naya responded, aiming at a wolf that was just near her.

"Good shot sis" Zara praised.

"I'm really getting better with…arhh" Naya screamed in pain, a bullet hit her hand.

"Naya, are you okay?" Zara queried, removing her hands from the wheels as she quickly went to tend to her sister.

"I'm fine" Naya gasped, luckily the bullet was not containing wolfsbane, she'll be just fine once they get the bullet out.

"Are you sure?" Zara asked worriedly.

"Yes I'm fine, Zara watch out!!!" Naya yelled, but it was too late, the car had already gone off the cliff falling into the river with both sisters in it.
