Idalia felt a low grumble leave her as she rolled over on the futon mattress Matt had given her. She huffed lightly and sat up, unable to fall back to sleep. She hadn’t been living with Matt very long and Kayt had been around for even less time but already knew that if she went to either of them, they’d comfort her. She didn’t want to wake them though so she just silently moved to the closet where the spare blankets and pillows were and dragged more out to her mattress and began piling and fluffing them up until they were exactly how she wanted them to be and then she dove and buried herself in the middle of them. A happy sigh and pleased rumble left her lips as warmth started to spread through the little nest, she was sure she’d be able to sleep now. She just hoped Matt and Kayt wouldn’t mind that she’d used all the spare blankets and pillows for this.

Haven’s eyesight was bleary and he could barely put one foot in front of the other, all his weight was on his little sister who was struggling to support him. He could hear her babbling something, but the pain was too much to focus on anything else. The hunter attacked had come from nowhere, he’d fought as hard as he could, they all had but the hunters had been too much and he’d ordered his pack to scatter rather than watch them continue being slaughtered. He wasn’t sure how many of them had actually made it out but he had felt some of them die through their pack bonds and it had nearly driven him mad, just as his Alpha power had down when he’d first gotten it. The only thing keeping him together was the desire to protect his baby sister and find what was left his pack. He forced himself to focus on Leila when they stopped moving. “Her scent is everywhere here, she must be here somewhere. Can you feel her through the Pack Bond?” Leila asked him, a faint whine coming from her throat when he rumbled in pain as she tightened her grip on him. He growled lowly in his throat and she moved them forward towards the cottage in the clearing, his vision was fading in and out as Leila reached out to knock on the door. He could barely lift his head to focus when the door was opened, but blonde hair caught his attention and relief filled him when he recognized his adviser/second in command. “About damn time.” He forced the words out before succumbing to the darkness creeping along his vision. He didn’t even hear Leila yelp as she suddenly crumpled under his weight and their crashed to the floor. Leila squirmed under her brother until she could tilt her head to look at Kayt, a high pitched whine coming from her as she started to cry.
