"Let me go." Corazon growled this out as Lovella held her back from attacking Nero, who looked rather surprised at his 'mate's' reaction at him declaring her his.

To be honest, I wasn't completely suprised. Compared to eveything else that had been going on this was pretty tame.

So, I decided to sit back and enjoy the show.

Before I could get comfortable in my mate's arms, my dear, baby sister jammed me in the ribs making me wince with pain.

Have I meantioned how much I love her.

I raised an eyebrow in question and she came close to my ear, "he won't stop staring at me."

The 'he' she was referring to was Alejandro, and yes he was indeed staring. Although I wasn't so sure you could call it that, he looked as if he was drooling.

I clicked my fingers at him, shaking him out of his daze and motioned my head at my sister, who was intently staring at the poor boy, and mouthed 'talk.'

He immediately understood what I was trying to say and sat up a little straighter.

He wiped his hands on his jeans to get ride of, what I guessed, sweat.

I was suprised at his nervousness, had Ajax been the same way?

I liked over to him as he talked to Tiago in his gruff tone making me shiver.

No, definitely not.

He opened his mouth, then closed it. Nothing came out, perhaps words were failing him for a reason.

I felt pity for the poor boy and decided to help him out, but before I could say anything he had spoken up.

"I'm your mate." That was it. That was all he had, or maybe could say. To be honest I don't know what I was expecting, but I was sure that my younger sister expected more.

It got awkward after the admission, really awkward.

Valentina had turned bright red causing Alejandro to smirk and Corazon to snort.

I didn't know what he was smirking about, the boy couldn't speak a word to her not moments before, I mused to myself.

Whilst Alejandro moved next to Valentina to explain what mates were I decided to give them so privacy and looked over to my other sister who was staring at Nero rather intently.

Is that how I had looked, sheesh.

I gave her swift kick in the knee causing her to let out a loud 'ouch' before she finally got my message.

She then looked down at her hands, a red blush staining her face. Before I could move into comfort her Nero had his arms wrapped around her and pulled her into his lap. He then proceeded to move her hair away from her neck and rested his forehead there.

Oh my, I thought to myself, the intimacy had me blushing.

We had been in the plane for a few hours now and I was beginning to get restless. Lovella had been asleep for a long time and the temptation to draw a moustache on her face was in the back of my mind. I, of course, did not perform such an indecent task as it would have bough great shame upon my sister. Also, I could find a permanent marker.

Ajax walked over to me and I immediately shuffled closer to him. I was so desperate.

He wrapped me up in his arms and bought his mouth to my ear.

"Buckle up, we are landing soon." He then swiftly moved away to tell the others the same thing.

There went that moment.

I then reached for my seat belt and strapped myself in. What else could I do. Surely enough we landed not soon after and it felt good for my feet to be on solid ground that nature made.

I stumbled as I got onto the last step off the plane but before I could fall over, Ajax caught me, my hero.

It was chilly and dark, not what I had envisioned for my first visit to sunny Spain. But I guess beggars can't be choosers, we were on the run of course.

After I had gotten off the plane the boys, Alejandro and Nero, jumped over each other to get out. They were more like monkeys then they were wolves.

The sound of an engine caused us to all hush as three range rovers pulled up along side the plane, I whistled in appreciation. This was my dream car, and there were three right in front of me, how could fate be so cruel.

Three older looking men stepped out of the car, their faces were serious and grim.

"We must leave immediately, Alpha. The war is upon us." One of the older men spoke up, he bared a slight resemblance to Ajax so I assumed he was a relative.

I was sure the man had just said the word 'war' but I just passed it off as poor hearing.

We began to walk towards the car and just as I was about to step into the Range Rover, Ajax pointed me over to the one that was slightly further down.

He got in and then I walked over, I guess I had just been ditched, by my own boy. Lovely.

We, me and my sisters, we're all piled into one of the range rovers whilst the boys split between two, how nice.

The man who was driving us was quiet. Very quiet.

So we sat in silence for what seemed like forever but was probably ten minutes and waited.

We arrived at what looked like a mansion and before I could open my door, Ajax got to it. 'At least he kept that promise' I thought snidely to myself.

The atmosphere changed now, it wasn't as jolly as it was when we were on the plane, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why.

"Step up training, I want four hours day for now and make sure you have extra men running the perimeter, we won't lose." Ajax spoke abruptly to the man that had driven us and he simply nodded in response.

"Training for what?" I couldn't help but ask, why would anyone be training? We were safe weren't we?

Ajax looked me dead in the eye sending chills down my spine.

"For war."
