A sharp shriek escaped Emily's lips as she immediately turned around to bury her face in her brother's chest.

Mark's arms tightened around his little sister's shivering frame while his eyes stared at the pile of the dead security guards in front of him.

He could feel his blood boiling as he realized that most of them were tortured before they were killed. The marks of fangs and blood on their necks were the visible evidence of how much torture they would have gone through.

Even though their security teams were well trained and could have handled a few rogue supernaturals, they were still not capable of handling dozens of powerful rogues.

"Em, go inside and lock the do...."

Mark once again did not get the chance to complete his sentence as the man who had spoken a few moments ago, spread his right palm towards them and the door of the passenger side closed with a loud bang immediately.

"We have a deal for you, Young Master. Give your sister to us and we will show some mercy to you and will give you a quick death. What do you think? It's a great deal, right?"

The man questioned as he smirked at Mark who was busy forming plans in his mind.

Emily shuddered as she heard the man's words. She was worried for herself but her worry for her brother's safety was even greater. She could not let these men hurt her brother!

She felt the presence of her little treasures through her bond with them. They were squirming inside their snow globe as they could feel the danger around their Master, but Emily knew that those three little furballs were still young. If she let them out, they would be dead within a few minutes.

Only if she knew how to teleport both herself and her brother inside the snow globe. Then she could have saved both of their lives. Unfortunately, even though Shadow tried several times during the past few months to teach her the method of entering the snow crystal on her own, she never succeeded.

Just when she was deep in her thoughts, he felt movements around her and when she pulled her face away from her brother's embrace, she found eleven men dressed in black leather clothes standing around them (Emily and Mark) in a protective circle.

Emily was surprised and she immediately looked at Mark to see if he knew about what was happening.

"They are from Evans House. The patrol team that is assigned to the outer region of our estate." Mark told her as he relaxed a little.

The danger was still there but at least, now they have more people with them. Moreover, these were trained vampire guards.

"Don't even dare to step any closer to her. You won't like the consequences." The woman, who was standing in front of Emily with her back towards the girl, warned the man and his team of rogues.

"We are here for her and we won't be returning empty-handed today." The man spat through gritted teeth as he glared at the woman and her team of vampire guards.

Just when he thought that he would be able to fulfill his mission without any problems, the Evans house decided to make his life harder than it already was under his master's dominance.

"Then you all won't be returning anymore." The woman replied with a small smirk as she took out twin daggers from her thigh straps and positioned herself in front of Emily and Mark.

Her team followed her as they all took out their weapons and took their positions. Mark also pulled Emily behind him as he prepared his gun for action.

Emily was definitely not prepared for the howl that suddenly disturbed the atmosphere and the very next second, the rogues charged.

She watched in complete horror as the people in front of her started falling on the ground one by one. She even noticed the limbs that were being torn apart from a perfect body and thrown around.

Her eyes noticed the blood that had started covering the road and she could no longer keep a hold on herself.

The darkness of her past that had been silent for the past few months finally decided to resurface, taking over her body, soul, and mind.

She had no idea who was killing whom. Was it the Vampire guards who were winning the war or was it the rogues who had succeeded in killing the guards?

For a moment, her eyes adjusted on the weird figures that were attacking the rogues who had moved closer to her and Mark, but she could not clearly see what they were through the fog that had taken over her senses.

She could feel Mark's presence around her as he also fought along with the vampire guards and those weird-looking creatures.

However, his presence around her was probably not enough to keep her from giving under the weight of her past, the dark memories that got triggered with everything that was currently happening around her.

She was not breathing rapidly, she was not screaming or crying like a baby. She was just frozen in her place as the familiar memories of her dark past resurfaced.

Maybe this was why she did not realize that Mark was calling her name. Maybe this was why she did not realize that a huge silver wolf was running towards her. And maybe this was why she did not realize that her fear of the past was about to ruin her present and future.

And by the time she succeeded in hearing the loud and ear-piercing growl of the silver wolf who was still at a distance of a few feet from her, it was already too late.

A gasp left her lips as she caught Mark who fell in her arms. His eyes were filled with tears and his lips were moving as if he was trying to say something but nothing came out and then...........he was no longer breathing!
