Chapter 43: Chapter 43 . No

Ethan POV

The sirens ring out just as I make it to the pack border. My lungs freeze, useless to me in the wave of shock and horror. My head turns. The others on border patrol fulfill their roles perfectly.

We are all under command to rush towards the threat and destroy it, help in eradicating the rogues, but I just can't.

Because there is one single thought on my mind in this moment.

Kelly.

She informed just this morning that she wanted to spend the day with her brothers. They had a strong hold on her heart, and I won't deny her the joy they bring her, even if it is dangerous for her to be alone.

My mind reasoned that nothing bad would happen. What are the chances that we would be attacked when we aren't together? Now that we are officially together, we're be joined at the hip 24/7.

I'm kicking myself for those thoughts now.
