Susie seemed unconvinced. I asked, “Why don’t you and Sally go inside and start up on Project Tacos?” Susie’s eyes jerked up to mine. They widened in awe and surprise. I said, “I’m sure your pack will be hungry when they are done fighting.” Susie nodded.

I took out her necklace and quickly put it around her neck. I looked into her eyes, “I want you to promise me if you EVER need me, you will rub this necklace. I will be there for you in a flash. It will tell me where you are, and I’ll come help you. No matter what.” Susie looked at the necklace. “It’s beautiful. Thank you, BA.” I smiled, “You’re welcome.”

I turned to Sally ordering, “Go inside. Close all the blinds, and do NOT look outside. Turn on some music.” Sally asked, “What are you going to do?” I replied, “What needs to be done.” I stepped back outside of the barrier once I saw them inside with the blinds drawn.

Some rogues were running away from the fight. My anger at not being able to tell if Chase was ok, and the terror I’d heard in Susie’s voice flooded back into my veins. Seeing Frank and Nadine hurt and unable to help pissed me off. These fuckers hurt my family. I let my arrows fly around me. I was unstoppable. I thanked the War Goddess I’d grabbed the gear from my house. Haley had enchanted this set of gear. She wanted to see if her enchantment would let my arrows replenish themselves. I didn’t know the exact number, but I hadn’t hit it yet. I’d have to tell her about it.

Once the last rogue was dead, I grabbed the man who’d taken Susie by the foot. I dragged him to a tree. I grabbed my rope from my coat and tied it around his leg as he whimpered. I demanded, “Shut up you pathetic weak excuse of a man.” The man gasped for breath, “Why aren’t my powers working on you?” That surprised me.

I looked down at my outfit and smiled. Haley had done more charms than I knew about. I told him, “I have a powerful fairy friend, and she takes my safety seriously. Especially from warlocks and witches. She doesn’t like them much. At this point, I have to agree with her you all suck ass.”

The warlock hissed, “The Fairy Princess.” I nodded, “That would be her, but she gets mad when people forget she’s also a Hackura. Why did you take the little girl?” The warlock answered, “The Noah guy paid me to get in and get the little girl. He’d bartered with the rogues. He told them they could have her once his string came outside to exchange herself in the girl’s place.”

I strung him up. He hissed, “Hey! I answered you.” I yanked my knife out of his back and cut near his groin. I replied, “Not completely. I know when people are giving me just enough of the truth and are still holding things back. I’ve been doing this a long time. I also expect people to be lying assholes.”

The warlock hissed as I cut the other side of his groin. I smiled, “Now, unless you want me to cut off your family jewels answer my damn question.” The warlock admitted, “We were supposed to kill the girls’ mother. She should be dead. I left her in an incapacitated state for the rogues to handle. Noah said that her death would drive the Alpha’s father mad enough to kill himself.” I wouldn’t let Frank do that. Also, vengeance was a powerful motivator.

He continued, “The rogues were going to get a lot of money for the girl from the Alpha. She’s his sister, he’d want her back.” I stabbed him in the bicep. He screamed in pain. I demanded, “Try again. Noah would NEVER give her to them. She’s too valuable and he had her in his hands. What’s the actual plan?”

The warlock glared at me with hatred. Finally, he said, “You’re right. Noah was going to take his string and the girl. She was to be my reward.” My stomach tightened. “Your reward?” The warlock said, “The little girl she’s beautiful and perfect…” He didn’t get to finish. His screams of agony rang in my ears as I castrated him.

His screams only made me more upset. I ordered, “Shut the fuck up, you sick freak!” He shouted, “You said you wouldn’t do that if I answered you!” I snarked, “I changed my mind.” The warlock taunted, “Well, you can’t save my brother’s reward. He’s been eyeing Alpha Cameron’s Luna for so long.” I said, “I will save her too.”

I shoved his own cock into his mouth, forcing it into his esophagus. I told him casually, “Girls learn how to breathe doing this, but something tells me you don’t know how.” I watched as his eyes watered and began to bug out as he asphyxiated. He gagged but he died when I held his cock in place and his vomit couldn’t get clear of his airway. Once he was dead, I took off for Cameron’s border.

I cut through Haley’s territory in order to get as close to their main house as I could. I should’ve given Reagan the necklace sooner. I couldn’t believe I’d messed us this bad. I heard someone scream, “PROTECT THE LUNA!” I hit a higher gear in my stride. I let my arrows fly as soon as I saw wolves.

The grey and brown wolves whirled around to face me. Reagan shifted to her human form. She seemed shocked, “You’re the Black Arrow. What are you doing here?” I explained, “I’m here to help. I was helping out Alpha Chase’s pack. A warlock I interrogated gave up a plan to take you as a prize.”

Reagan growled, “Chase is under attack too? SHITHEADS! I will NOT be taken by a rogue.” I corrected, “Warlock.” Reagan glared, “Yeah, I’m not getting taken by one of those either. That’s why I can’t link Cameron, isn’t it? Some stupid warlock is preventing it.”

We both heard a male laugh, “Very good, Luna. Is it any wonder I want you for myself?” Reagan gasped, “Byron?” I said, “A warlock named Byron? God, what is the world coming to? If you want to be even angrier Reagan, your five-year-old sister-in-law was meant to be the prize for his brother.”

Reagan roared ferociously and shifted into her wolf. She began to tear through rogues to get to the warlock. I aided her by sending my arrows flying at those she missed. She was making a beeline for whoever Byron was.

The warlock started chanting. I mocked him, “That’s weak.” Reagan was whimpering but kept going. Byron disagreed, “It’s not weak. I’m using what I’ve got.” I argued, “It’s still weak when you’re in a physical fight. You cowards could at least learn how to fight. Don’t worry, you’ll be joining your brother soon.”

Byron frowned, “What do you mean?” I winked, “I mean I killed him by shoving his dick down his throat. He couldn’t breathe.” He stopped paying attention to Reagan’s attack. He yelled, “You killed my brother?” I confirmed, “I did. Anyone who wants a five-year-old as a reward has GOT to go.”

He tried to hit me with a spell, but it didn’t work. He was surprised for a brief moment before Reagan reached him. She tackled him to the ground and ripped his head off. I heard a shuffle behind us. I turned and shot two more rogues fighting with Reagan’s pack members.

I turned back around when I heard a sickening thud and groan. I screamed, “NO!” I saw a rogue about to go for Reagan’s throat. I dove in front of her. I screamed in pain as the rogue’s teeth clamped down onto my side then another rogue bit into my leg.

Reagan’s pack quickly killed the two that were biting me. I turned to evaluate Reagan. She’d hit her head on the tree and had shifted back, unconscious. I quickly put her necklace around her neck and hauled her up onto my shoulder. I told her pack members, “I’m taking her to the hospital.” They stared at me in surprise but didn’t argue.

I took off to the hospital. I was hoping it was the building I thought it was. I should’ve asked Reagan for a tour the last time I was here. Thankfully, I saw people limping and being led into the building I’d correctly assumed was the hospital.

I quickly set Reagan down, and a doctor rushed over. He looked at me, “Thank you for saving our Luna. If you’ll take a seat someone will look at your wounds.” I waved my hands, “No, it’s nothing. Thank you.” I left.

I took off for Haley’s border. Hopefully, she was back from wherever she was earlier. I glimpsed two black wolves running my way. I glared at the sky then ran faster. I knew one of those wolves was likely Chase. I wanted him to know I was the Black Arrow, but not this way. Not when I was injured. I was starting to get dizzy.

I came upon another fight. CHRIST! Was this going to end? I shot them quickly, surprising the wolves fighting for Cameron’s pack. He needed to train his warriors. Whoever was in charge before him did a piss poor job. They weren’t great fighters, but they had potential.

I was jumped from behind. I screamed in pain as claws dug into my back. I put my hand around my neck to protect it as I felt more claw marks dig into me. I took a viscous bite to my forearm, then the weight was lifted off me.

I heard a snap and looked over. Heath ran back to me. He picked me up, “BA.” I whispered, “The Hood himself. Here I was thinking a Fairy would come save me.” Heath ran with me to Haley’s house.

Molly answered the door. She stared at me in surprise, “What happened?” Heath answered, “Fucking rogues. She was helping the packs that were attacked. Where is Haley?”
