"Whatever happens don't use your elements"
"What?"
We both look at Lanna as though she's lost her mind
"Just do as I say, your dad doesn't want anyone knowing what you can do"
I look around and can't see any way for us to get out of this situation, by this time the rogues have all started moving forward,
"I don't think there's any way for us to get out of this" I whisper,
Acre looks at me before whispering back
"Were gonna have to fight"
"Hmmm yes but don't transform"
"What so we cant use the elements or transform?" Acre spat
Lanna rolled her eyes "just follow my lead"
"Follow you're... are you joking?" I start to say but its too late, Lanna has already gone up to the lead rogue, all we can do now is watch,
"Hello young man, Im Lanna?
"Seriously old lady I don't care"
"Hmm, your very rude," Lanna says making my eyes bug out if my head
"Oh great, she plans to get us killed" Acre whispers,
Before the rogue can reply Lanna carries on
"Now tell me was it you who blew up the bus?"
"And what if it was?"
"Well then you would need punishing, won't you young man," Lanna said making me and Acre both groan,
"What? get back inline old lady, if anyone getting punished, it's you and ya know what your quite a little hottie for an old lady, maybe my boys will want some time with ya before I kill ya",
the colour drains from our faces at the thought of what would happen to Lanna if we didn't get out of this but Lanna smiles and holds up a finger saying
"hold on a sec" before she starts rummaging around in her handbag.
We are all shocked at the audacity of her that even the rogues are silent
"Ahhh, here it is" Lanna finally says pulling out a foldable walking stick which she then snaps together before standing toe to toe with the rogue leader while everyone including me and Acre watches on,
"Now young man, I'm giving you one last warning to get yourself and your mutts out of here"
"Haa Haa" Lanna looks so comical that all the rogues are laughing at her, if the situation wasn't so serious we would probably also be laughing, but Lanna didn't seem to care its almost as if she expected this
"Fine, have it your way then young man, ill let you watch then ill kill you last"
Still, the rouges were laughing but the laughter soon stopped when Lanna's walking stick spun through the air and whacked the lead rogue down
"You bitch" he spat before adding
"kill her".
The rogues all came forward as one, as me and Acre are about to run to her side a flash of silver spun through the air and we watch as Lanna spins and twists, cutting down the rogues, it almost as if she is doing a dance, one by one we see the rogues dropping, Acre leans into me
"Did you know her walking stick was a sword? ha asks confused
"Dude I didn't even know she had a walking stick, but she sure knows how to use it"
"Yeah bro, she's most definitely badass".
OnceLanna has finished cutting down the rogues she turns to the leader
"P p p please, don't hurt me" he cries with snot dripping from his nose, Lanna actually does look quite scary, although she has just cut down seven rouges she had somehow managed to not get a drop of blood on her but her hair well the only way to describe it was that she looked like Medusa from Greek mythology, the woman with snakes for hair,
Acre starts laughing and when I look at him I see that he is clearly reading my thoughts, I snap into his thoughts
"Haaaa haaaa Medusa, so funny haaa"
"Yeah well she looks scary as hell, I wouldn't take the piss out of her now, leave it for parties"
"Your right bro, she's scary as hell right now".
Lanna is leaning over the rogue
"I told you I would let you watch, didn't I?"
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, tell me, why are the rogues coming into the open, why are you attacking people?"
"I I I just follow orders, someone contacts us and we do as we are told"
"Who?"
"I I don't know"
"Of course he knows Lanna he's their leader," I say sweeping my arm around indicating the rogues dead around me,
"No no im not, I was told to pretend to be the Leader, so our actual leader was more protected and hidden"
"So where is your leader young man?"
Pointing the rogue points out the rogue that was standing right beside him,
"Hmmm you were used, your life was worth less than your leaders to he put you in the front to be more exposed, ok thank you for your honesty," Lanna says and you can see his moment of relief turn to shock as her blade sliced through his neck.
"Acre quick put the bodies in that dumpster," Lanna said pointing
I help pile them in while Lanna watches leaning on her walking stick, once done she commands
"Set it alight",
We burned the fire hotter than usual to melt event the bones down so there wouldn't be any evidence that the rogues were even here.
"Come on quick, let's get out of here and back to the hotel"
As much as we wanted to find our mates, Lanna was still quite scary so we followed her without any arguement.
Once back at the hotel Lanna heads straight for the shower while Acre and I go to the kitchen to make some coffee and sandwiches. "Well who knew," Acre says chuckling. "Yeah I know, we seem to have our very own Bruce Lee". "Or Kun fu panda". We are both laughing as Lanna comes into the kitchen looking fresh and clean wearing a tracksuit. "I know you are both laughing at me". "What no were not" Acre splutters. Lanna raises her eyebrows. "Ok ok we are but seriously that was some badass shit you did back there and you don't exactly look err..." I start to say without knowing how to finish the sentence but Lanna steps in. "Well looks can be deceiving". "So we noticed, where did you learn that stuff?" Acre asks. "My parents put me through classes when I was a child". "Well we are glad, thank you," I say and Lanna smiles and gives me a wink. "Yeah I don't think your queen Lanna anymore,
After a restful nap, we got ready, called a cab and ended up having a fantastic meal, Lanna had decided to use her walking stick all of the time, as she said "On the outside, I'm a little old lady but with enemies around its good to have a weapon", So after our meal we took a stroll to M and M world where Lanna turned into a child, I swear the gleeful look on her face and the way she jumped up and down clapping her hands had me and Acre laughing so hard people had started to stare but Lanna didn't care she just ran around like a five years old. After what felt like forever we were finally on our way, I kept trying to sniff the air to see if I could pick up the mate scent but I couldn't pick anything up so we enjoyed an evening stroll eating M and Ms from the big bag Lanna had bought. We decided it would be easier if we got the tube to the Embankment so headed to Leicester Square station, as we were walking Acre mind linked "Do you get the feel
"No dad, I'm fine, stop worrying, yeah I know you said we should stick together" I thought talking to my dad would help but so far all he has done is worry and yell, I roll my eyes at Acre and Lanna and try again "Dad, come on look we are fine but what do you think I should do?" "Stay away from them son you don't know who they are, look just forget the whole thing and come home" "WHAT? no way, we need to find our mates" Acre had started pacing the room clearly agitated at the thought of being made to go home "Ok look, dad, we've had a long day, ill call you tomorrow and we can talk more", "Ok, you're not going to meet with this chap though are you?" "No dad, we will keep looking for our mates" "ok son, stay safe, goodnight," After I hang up the phone I go to get myself a glass of water and take five minutes before Acre and Lanna start badgering me. I had filled them in on everything that
We get to Trafalgar Square at 1.45 pm and sit beside the fountain waiting, Acre is on edge pacing while I sit relaxed but alert scanning the crowd but Lanna seems to have mastered the art of blending in the best making me wonder if she is acting or is actually that fascinated with the sights "Just look at thoughs huge lions Ocean," she says snapping more pictures with a look of pure glee on her face "Do you think I could sit on one of the lions like thoughs people, so you can get my picture?" "Hahahha Lanna, you do remember why we're here don't you?" Acre asked laughing "Well yes of course but look, it's London guys, it's so exciting" she replies jumping up and down clapping her hands. "So are you enjoying the sights?" a voice asks beside me making me jump "Calm down," he said as I spin to grab his throat and he knocks my hand away "How did you do that?" "Ahhh I can mask my scent, it's a talent I've had since I was a ch
"So tell me, what do these girls look like?" Gregory asked with a glint in his eye, we were all sitting in his study, "They both have brown hair, medium build" Acre started to say but I held up my hand to stop him before looking directly at Gregory "You already know who the girls are so why don't you stop playing games and tell us what you know?" I growl "Ok ok" he chuckles before continuing "Yes I know the girls they are Desert and Sky" The name Desert when he said it made my heart skip a beat and looking across at Acre I could see he also had a content look on his face "Don't you think it's strange how their names are Desert and Sky and you and your brother are Ocean and Acre?" Gregory asked jolting me from my thoughts "Mmmm, so where are they?" "I'm afraid you are going to have to wait a little while longer, I had to send them out of town" "What, why?" Acre asked incredulously "It was for their safety,
A loud scream jolts me back to reality so I start running towards the big mansion where the scream had come from. As I'm running I vaguely notice the others running beside me but it's the sight ahead of me that causes me to stop in my tracks. They're among about 50 men is my beautiful mate and her sister, I can also see a body lying beside them and vaguely wonder who it is, "That must be Mathew," Gregory says "We need to help them," Lanna says aghast at the sight before her, Acre is shaking all over, ready to transform and I'm ready to jump straight into the fight. "Wait" both me and Acre turn on Gregory for suggesting something so stupid "Pease, just wait..... look," he says pointing to the girls, we both turn and I see my mate start turning on the spot whilst her sister had thrown her arms and head back as if talking to the sky, I'm momentarily confused until a sharp wind whips at me and I feel something hitting my fa
"Why are we at the airport?" Desert spat but I just ignored her following behind Gregory's car.In the rearview mirror I see Sky give a confused look to Acre who says"Hey beautiful don't worry, your coming home with me"I see Skys face suddenly relax and a content smile appear on her face, it would have been quite a sweet moment if it wasn't for the snort and huff of Desert"What do you mean, going home with you?"Neither me nor Acre really knew what to say because in truth we hadn't even asked the girls if this was what they wanted, everything had happened so fast and if Gregory thought it would be safer for them to be out of the country then I would drag my feisty little mate kicking and screaming if I had too,"Look, sweetcheeks, it will be safer for you if...""I don't care and stop calling me that""Ok sweetcheeks, whatever you say" I smirk"I swear I will..." she started before Acre jumped in"Ok guys enoug
After we finish eating the air stewardess Natalie comes over to me and smiles "Hey Ocean, have a nice holiday?" I can feel Desert tense up beside me and when I look at her I smile as I see her eyes flicker between their gorgeous brown and mesmerising gold, I can see her wolf is on the surface and is seriously pissed off, I take her hand to reassure her before adding to Natalie "Yeah it was good, so how's your MATE Mac?" I ask putting emphasis on the word mate to calm my beautiful mate down, "Well that's why I'm here, he wants to talk to you, he hasn't heard from anyone from the pack for days" "Ok Natalie ill come speak to him now" With worried eyes Natalie then says "You don't think the wars started do you?" "Oh great, so this is you keeping us safe, dragging us out of London to chuck us into a bloody war" Desert spits making me smile "I'll be there in a sec Nat" I say nodding to he
