BALLISTIC

HUNTER'S POV

I tossed and turned in bed as sleep eluded me. How could I sleep not knowing the fate of my family? I knew that Tizheruk was thorough and precise, and he would deliver but still, I felt the anxiety of Hemming and the worry of my family.

I got out of bed and padded outside the house barefoot. I walked to the cage and petted the wolves and breathed the night air. I scented Lobo Aria wolf even before I saw him. He arrived at my home in wolf form and I stood by the entrance as I stared at him in shock.

Aria growled at me and I felt Hemming's anger rise at the fact that Aria had growled. Lobo shifted and stood naked by my gate, looking angry.

"Alpha" I raised my eyebrows in question.

Lobo walked over to me and slapped me so hard that the force made me stagger. I heard my wolves growl and Lobo's growl made them whine and lower their heads.

"What is going on, Alpha?" I asked him as I tasted the blood from my lips.
