(Anna)
“A little help?” I call out as I open the front door, the house ist surprisingly silent. Normally people are coming and going and
there is often a pup or three running around getting underfoot. I hitch my shopping bags up and waddle into the kitchen, as soon
as I see Zoe the lack of people makes sense. Fraction must have needed to do something for him to call in the babysitter.
“Did he have to go out?” I ask Zoe, she jerks her head up from her textbooks spread across the kitchen table. She looks shocked
that I’m standing in front of her, she must have been really absorbed in her book.
“Sorry Luna..I must have zoned out, yeah Alpha went out about an hour ago. I just put Aurora down for the night and Ander’s
mum called and asked if Thomas could stay there,” I nod my head as I look at my mountain of bags.
“Did Fraction say when he would be back?” Zoe just shakes her head as she starts to put her books back in her bags. “Damn it,
any idea where I can hide all of this?” Zoe just laughs at me as she gets up from. the table and pops her bag on her shoulder.
“Good luck,” she calls as she walks past me.
“I’ll get Fraction to put the money in your account.” It’s how we normally pay her for her service, even at sixteen she should be
paid for her work.
“Luna, I don’t...” I hold my hand up and end her normal tirade.

“Go home Zoe and good luck on your paper.” Zoe just smiles and heads out of the Packhouse.
Zoe is a rare one, Patrick found her in a rogue nest about two years ago, she was just there with no one else around her. When
we asked her where her family was she said they had died, I pleaded with Fraction to take pity on her and now she’s our most
reliable babysitter. Gathering my bags up I head up to the bedroom so I can try to find. somewhere to hide the shopping bags,
Once the bags are securely in my cupboard I quickly nip next door to check on Aurora. This was James’s room but he moved to
the warrior floor when she was born, he said it wasn’t right to make the pups share. I have to agree that it is nice having my
family all on one landing.
“Sleeping soundly?” Closing the door I see Fraction leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face.
“What’s so funny?” I narrow my eyes at him and cross my arms, the smirk on his face has the hairs on the back of my neck
standing on end.
“I like your attempt at hiding these.” Fraction holds up his hand and there dangling from his first finger is a pale purple laçe
French cut panties. I got them because the colour looks great against my pale skin. and the lace as a flower pattern that has a
really cute peek–a–boo effect. I go to grab the panties but he just holds them above his head out of my reach.
“I didn’t even hear you come in,” I whisper yell at him as I jump to get the panties.
“You’re oddly obvious when you’re around the pups, the cupboard was foot a bad hiding spot. I found these in like three
seconds.” I stamp my slightly and then turn and start walking down the stairs, if this keeps going we will wake Aurora and I really
don’t want to be up all night.

“How did you know anyway?” I ask as we walk into the kitchen, I mean I did hide them as soon as I got home so unless Eliza
spilled the details I’m unsure how he could have known I bought anything.
“There is this genius thing where banks text you as you spend. Turns out I spent a lot more than normal today,” I stop as I lean
up to get a glass for some water and drop my head a little.
“I’ll take them all back, Eliza made me buy a lot of them anyway.” I turn around to see him holding the panties up between his
two hands. and he’s looking at them like he’s imagining how I look in them.
“Nope.” Fraction says, he pops the ‘p‘ as he smiles at me.
shoulder. I try to get up but the weight of Fraction is keeping me down, I look at him to see his eyes slightly glazed before he
looks down at me.
‘Stay down, little wolf. The warriors are doing a sweep,” he cups both of my shoulders but something is wrong with my left one
and I cry out. as soon as he makes contact with it. I see Fraction bring his hand up in front of me and it’s covered in blood. “Shit,
you got hit.” Fraction. growls as his eyes glaze over again.
“Got hit?” I’m so confused about what’s happened.
“Shush, stay quiet.” Fraction just lays there on top of me as we stay still on the kitchen floor surrounded by glass.
“Aurora!” I say in panic as I try to scramble up from the floor, Fraction puts a hand on my stomach to keep me in place.
“Two warriors are already outside of her door, no one is getting to her. Now stay still before you lose more blood,” I lean my head
back on the floor for a second before remembering there is glass everywhere.

Looking up at the window I see one of the panes is completely shattered like someone threw a high speed stone through it.
“I got shot,” I can hear the panic in my voice but I can’t seem to calm it.
“You’re going to be ok, as soon as the warriors give the all clear Doctor Lee will be here.” Fraction is all Alpha right now, his eyes
keep glazing over so I know he’s mind linking with someone.
“Someone shot me!” I shout loudly to get his attention. His eyes are still glazed over when I hear boots running down the hall and
into the kitchen.
“All clear, Docs here.” Patrick says a little out of breath, he’s wearing a pair of shorts and nothing else.
“Help me get Anna up, there’s glass everywhere.” Fraction says as he goes to his knees. “careful of her shoulder, she got hit.”
Between Fraction and Patrick they have me off the floor and standing up away from the glass. Looking back I can see a pool of
my blood surrounded by hundreds of pieces of glass.
“Wow, that really shattered, didn’t it?” I say to neither of them in particular.
“She’s in shock, let’s get her to my office.” I feel a hand on either of my arms as I’m pulled from the kitchen. I can seem to take
my eyes off all the blood on the floor and even as we leave the kitchen behind I can still see it seeping across the hardwood
flooring. All I seem to be able to think is; that’s going to be a bitch to clean up.
