Bettina tries to struggle a little longer, but she has no choice. Slashing a wrist with a claw, her blood dripping on the floor, the fire swirling around her. Every one watching with mixed looks ranging from confusion to horror then some of fascination, the horror coming from Sarah and Allister. She speaks in a strained manner, anger in her tone.
I vow in my blood that I will never in any way, on my own or by association, bring harm to anyone you love or care about no matter how remote.” she finishes with a growl glaring death at me. Knowing I’ve just taken away tools in her path of revenge. But I had to protect them. The fire narrowed to swirl around only the wrist she opened to make the vow.

Part of the fire separated to swirl around the blood on the floor. “Then by my fire, I seal your vow sworn to me in your blood.” I finished the sealing words, I didn’t know how I knew them. After saying them the fire on the floor and around her wrist flashed brightly, the blood on the floor being eaten by the fire and the one around her wrist sinking into her skin.
This caused Bettina to scream and fall to the floor, holding her wrist, the fire leaving behind a circling tattoo of purple flames. Sarah falls
to the floor next to her, hands going to Bettina’s shoulders, she looks up at me in hatred. “What did you do to her!” she shrieks.
“I sealed her vow with blood and fire, now if she or anyone associated with her,” A says that last pointing at Sarah. Then continuing. “If
she or they come after those I love or care about even remotely, Your mother’s blood will boil from her body, and her soul sent to the
netherworld. Sarah goes pale, her face contorted in ugly fury. I was done playing with them. I would keep my freedom, no matter what I
had to do to them to keep it. My enemies will learn to fear me.
They will respect my power, I was not the submissive little wolf pup who had desperately sought out their love. I was a grown Alpha She-
Wolf able to stand on my own now. With more power than I could have ever imagined for me. I was grateful for it. It was what was going
to keep those I cared about safe. But others would most likely come to take it or use me to abuse it.

I would be on my guard, I’ll have to start gathering those I could trust around me. I would not allow myself or my power to fall into the
wrong hands. Now done with this I looked up into the Alpha’s eyes, and I was shocked at what I saw. The look was one of proud approval like a papa wolf seeing his pup all grown up. Darien’s face was a mix of “Holy Shit!” and “About Time!”
I turned to look at Serenity who had gone to stand over by the twins when I had started my confrontation. The bags were at her feet and
the three looked like they had been ready to come to my aid. The twins had looks of admiration and awe, Serenity’s look said I was
justified. Looking back at the Alpha I tell him I have everything. gesturing to the bags “This is all there is.”
The Alpha tells the boys to pick up the bags and take them to his SUV, he then looks at me “You need to do anything else here?” he asks
- me.
“No, everything I needed to say had been said.” I say, then with a quick look back at them “I’m done with these people, I just want to go
now.” I turn back and look up at him.

He looks down at me with sad understanding. Then with an arm around my shoulders, he leads me out of the house. Serenity already waiting by the Jeep, Darien had an arm around her as they leaned against it. The Alpha walks me over to them, and they look me over, both trying to make sure I’m okay. Yeah, I say to myself, she’s going to be the sister I should have had.”

After the way, she had stood by me today. How she had moved to defend me if she had to. How she had stayed out of my way, somehow
knowing I had needed to do what I had done. All of it spoke of someone I could put at my back. I meet her eyes, smiling with my new assurance of her. The smile I got in return was bright, she knew I had accepted her as my friend.
