Chapter 0405 "It's fine Dad, I'm fine. Mine seems to work differently to Mum's power." I try to reassure him.
"It doesn't matter, you should never do that again. You shall never put yourself in danger like that. Not for me, not for any body." I don't answer because I don't want to make promises I can't keep. This ability was new to me. I didn't understand it either, but I didn't fear it.
It was a gift, a blessing and I would use it as I see fit. I'm not going to purposefully put myself on the brink of death, but I also won't see the people I love die unnecessarily. "What did they want...the hunters?" "He isn't talking." Dad grunts out, his head shaking with annoyance.

"Let him in. Don't be cruel." I sigh out, not liking the fact that Knox was being punished for my decision.
"I'm not being cruel, he will want to mark you more than ever now. I should know." "I would like that too." "Then I will arrange it, but first I'm holding Mum good to her word and marrying her as soon as possible. Before she changes her mind." I had been discharged out of the hospital later that day, keen to sit in on the trial of the captured hunter.
It was taking place behind closed doors, shielding the pack members from any more heartache. We had lost people in this attack, they had lost their family. I couldn't help them, I couldn't get to them all. Uncle Jude and Uncle Orpheus are both in attendance, having sent us additional warriors to scale through the surrounding lands. Nobody could answer where these hunters cfrom and how easily they were able to breach our borders a second time.
Nobody but the young male sat before me.
As I sat in a make-shift court-room in the pack house, I can't help but take him in. I can't see his face but just looking at his figure, he wasn't much older than me.
Mum had refused for Auntie Alora to attend, she said that the borders, even at the Clear Waters needed full attention right now. She can't be there, therefore she needs her beta to stay on top of things.
I still can't believe there is a secret group of hunters that have managed to recruit such a high number of soldiers to launch an aggressive attack on us. But why, and why did they hold off from using silver bullets...

"You appear here on trial for being part of the attack that has led to deaths of our pack members Dad roars out aas he sits next to Mum alone on a table. The Dark Phantom Alpha and Luna clearly in charge and clearly a formidable couple. I was sat in-between Knox and Jace, Jaxon standing to the side of Dad. It wasn't lost onthat only Uncle Jude, Uncle Orpheus and Beta Riley were the others in attendance. Dad clearly didn't want word to get out what was shared here today. Not even to pack members.
Meaning he has already signed the hunter's death sentence, he just wants to extract as much information out of him before he cuts his life.
He has a black bag over his head, his hands tied behind him and his legs cuffed to the leg of the chairs. As Jaxon removes the bag it exposes removes his face...judging by his cuts and bruises, the torture side of extracting information didn't work. "You refuse to share information in exchange for your life..."
"My life? I wouldn't trust my life in the hands of animals." His eyes scan the room, the hatred burning out of him was evident. His anger wasn Pota young man but of someone who has lived a hard full life. A sign he was carrying somebody else's anger. "Watch your tongue before I cut it out for you!" Mum's eyes glow a dangerous blue, her wolf coming forward.
