She can already hear the faint second heartbeat coming from her own body, but only when it's quiet. It's impossible to hear the faint steady beat in the middle of this battlefield. The screams, growls, grunts, gunfire, and loud crashes drown out the soothing sound of the precious cargo Kate is carrying.
She's bloodied, battered, and sore. Her berserkers are nothing more than a pile of body parts. The pack is closing in on her, but she still keeps desperately fighting. Kate Argent was never meant to go down without a fight. She does ultimately go down, and when she does, it only takes a second before the teenage true alpha has her arms pinned. He's not going to kill her. God, she wishes that he would. That was the plan anyway, and even if she dies, as long as it's by Scott's hand she hasn't failed.
Blood drips down the sides of her mouth. Even as she tells her body to move and fight, it's too exhausted. She sees the hint of yellow in the bullet that Chris reluctantly puts in his gun, and she knows exactly what's coming. There's a defeated laugh that leaves her lips. She was stupid. She was stupid for believing Peter. She was stupid for thinking that they could take down this pack of misfits, for thinking that Peter could really kill Scott. And where was Peter now? Probably dead, just like she was about to be.
There's a groan that leaves Kate's lips as Scott releases his grip on her. She falls to her knees with a smirk on her face. She's not afraid of death, just disappointed in her self for so many reasons. Her arms wrap protectively around her stomach as she looks into the shattered, broken blue eyes of her big brother. "Go ahead, Chris. Put me down like the monster you know I am."
She doesn't have to look at the gun to know that it's aimed right between her eyes. She always figured it would end this way for her, just never that it would come so soon. The click of the gun's safety going off is like a bomb exploding in Kate's ear.
She always thought that she'd face death with open eyes, but her eyes jut closed on their own accord. It seems like an eternity in silence as Kate waits for her death to come. The silence is interrupted by a loud, ear-shattering growl of dominance. Kate's eyes open, her hands still clenching her stomach protectively. Peter stands in front of Kate and his unborn child in full wolf form, his eyes glowing a bright shade of red, ready to defend anyone that would ever dare touch his mate or child.
