Aila's heart felt as though it would burst. She knew, of course, the hunters would come for her, eventually, but the lives of her pack laid heavily on her shoulders. Damon, her mate, if anything happened to him because of her, she could not bear it, her heart clenched just thinking about it. Chase was already dead because of her, and he was someone Silas was meant to have loved!
Aila turned her head back to the town and nearly jumped from the mind-link that came through to her, "Aila, where are you? Are you safe?" It was Ajax.
"I am… What's happening?" She mind-linked the shapeshifter back while her eyes were trained on Gabriel. She was extremely wary of him now. The way he spoke and acted was unnerving.
"Reinforcements have come!"
"Good. Was.. was Chase shot?" She asked.
"Chase? Oh, Silas' son. No, I think.. No. Silas dragged him away with him."
