I watched on, my apprehension growing by the second, as that purple swirling smoke moved ever closer. This was it. This was the start of the battle that would determine the future. Not only my future but Reese's, my family's, the pack's, the entire world's. This was the battle to end all battles for us. We needed to eliminate Edmond here and now.
All around me, shifters of various types, vampires, and warlocks all assumed their fighting stances. Different though they may be, and unique in and of themselves, they were all ready to fight for what was right. I was proud of every one of these warriors, no matter their species. For now, we were all one pack, all one family, fighting to protect those we cared about.
