May's P.o.v
---
After what felt like hours of battling May had enough she unleashed a roar "ENOUGH!" it made everyone stop dead in their tracks including the hunters. May looked around before continuing " Y'all really want to continue this? Y'all better realize that even if you succeed in taking us down and the other packs. Those hunters you ally yourself with at this moment will turn on you, REGARDLESS of what you might want to reply back i suggest you think rationally" and with that she made her way too the middle of the battle.she sighed and stood tall into her place not showing any of her pain but her voice turned too sorrow "You need to realize we all lost so many during the years, Mates, children, Friends, family. And with that you also know the pain of dying because through our bond we all feel that pain. It's like having a massive chunk taken out of your heart. out of your soul."she sighed trying to fight back her tears but gathers herself and unleashing her May command "You will have a choice, submit and help us against these hunters, who are likely more able to kill your loved ones than we are. I Alpha Mayhem Destruction of the Avalanche Moon pack invite you all too join my pack if you submit now" Looking around she sees she is getting through most of them again feeling a soft big fuzzy head against her legs. Reaching down petting Ryzens head gently "I can handle a bit more don't worry"
She turned her head back to the Rogues "I will even take your families in, they will be able to go to school, get to colleges, even train with us" she smiles at the rogues as one little boy comes closer and ask with a shy voice "Will my mom be safe?" she bend down and sat on her knees facing the little boy and gently ruffled his hair "Everyone will be safe my sweet boy I will be certain of that" To Mayhems surprise the little boy hugged her tight she didn't hesitate in hugging the little boy back but also trying to hide the fact that she is hurt but she keeps her gentle smile up as she is joined by her brother and the twins. Dom started to speak "I Alpha Dominic Chaos of the Blood Shadow moon will accept everyone who wishes to join a steady pack, i will accept anyone who is willing to submit" he smiled and ruffled his sisters hair. Ryzen and Pierce joined in to they straighten their backs "We Alpha Pierce Striker and Alpha Ryzen Shadow of the Grey moon will welcome anyone who is willing to submit".
May nodded to the rest and looked back at the rogues "you all have plenty of choices, you do not need to be afraid"she showed them all her brightest smile as one wolf she was familiar with came running towards her and almost tackled her to the ground. She knew he meant no harm and held her arms around his neck "Hi knight, you came to help?" she giggled while the wolf licks her cheek "yea yea I love you too and I'm glad you came". Mayhem stood right back up and watched with pride filled in her eyes as all the rogues and their families started to gather around and split in between the four alpha's. Gently petting knights head as he realized what she was asking of him and made his way to deal with the remaining hunters. May saw Knight being followed by others of her pack as they kill or chase away the remaining hunters. she started to float a little, using a little of her healing aura while it starts spreading to surrounding wolves and warriors. Smiling proudly as everyone gathers in her healing aura.

Pierce p.o.v

Smiling with pride but also worry lingering in his eyes keeping his eyes straight on May while noticing her descending towards them. Running towards May to catch her he knows this took a lot out of her and cradles her in his arms. Smiling softly at her " it's ok princess I got you" chuckling softly as May wrapped her arms around his neck " we will finish the rest you just sleep" he nodded to Ryzen as they both somehow know what they think and they both kiss each of May's cheek sending some healing energy into her. Setting her gently down on the stretcher as all sorts of nurses and doctors gather the injured. May looked at him and pouted " I just got off of this damn thing!" they both looked serious at her "I am fine just a little tired" they both shook their heads as Pierce used his command voice while looking in her eyes "sleep" and she started drifting to sleep. "damn feisty lil woman" Ryzen mumbled "seriously why does she bare the whole damn burden herself, were here too" Pierce and Dom just nodded at it while one of the latecomers said in a disturbing voice "Pity for who ever her mate is" The boys looked at Timmy in sheer disbelief as Pierce opened his mouth "gee, thanks for the condolences"but before Timmy could even answer Pierce replied " we have pack members to welcome, and some too bid farewell".
Clearing his throat as he made everyone gather and of course the Alphas were centered in the middle " Thank you all for gathering in this moment, we just had a tough battle. Today is a day which will pass history of the biggest Victory and Loss. I assure it is nothing to be proud off nor too be ashamed. You all were led astray by the hunters, they made false promises. But we as Alphas stand by our promises and in order to start and honor what we said. We will hold a passing ceremony for all those who have fallen". Pierce stopped and looked at Dom to continue. Dom nodded in acknowledgement and cleared his throat "The ceremony of the fallen will be held in these pack grounds, we will put them all on individual boats and send them down river burning. So we know the spirits of our fallen comrades will be reborn. Will one day be joining us in another life"Dom in his turn looked at Ryzen and he also cleared his throat "Today we will say goodbye to our fallen comrades tomorrow we will welcome our new additions. So if you all would please follow our gathered elders and follow their advices we may proceed with saying farewell".
Seeing everyone in tiny groups and carry a boat with a person in them, it didn't matter if they were rogues or their own people. Everyone deserves a respectful farewell, slowly making their way towards the river bank in a line of pure silence, no one dared to speak the while walk towards the majestic waterbank. Upon arriving the boats were softly let into the water but not yet released. Each alpha picked a few people too handje the torches while they themselves also kept a torch, Nodding as all hundred boats are lined up they push the boats gently further in the water and as they are being carried by the stream and they all received the signal too throw the torch into the boat. They send their comrades off with ear piercing howls filled with sorrow and sadness.

Knights p.o.v

after having cleared everything out of his path, he ran back to the pack grounds running his way to the clinic, eager to see them again. He sniffed the air and followed the scents, there was one scent that pricked his nose made him wag his tail like a happy puppy, it made him remember the fresh rainy forest and his favorite smell of apple syrup. He ends up in front of the room where the scent is the strongest gently pushing the door open with his nose. The light of the moon illuminating the figure in front of the window, gently and quietly making his way towards the woman, it was his mate. the love of his life. he thought he would never see her again. Looking at the girl on the bed he recognised Lea who was blissfully sleeping on unaware of anything that was going on earlier. He stiffens at the sound of Miriam's voice " Knight?" the doubtfulness in her voice made him whimper and lower himself to the ground. But what Miriam did next surprised Knight move than ever. She bend down and sat on the floor next to him gently expanding her hand and he was eager but careful while leaning into her hand with his big head, he purred ever so slightly at the loving touch of the woman he had always loved. But he was instantly filled with regret that his human side made him do, Leo made him lock away his mate, his luna, his love, his goddess. And he hated his human ever since. He tried to defy the abuse of his powers. especially since Destruction Virus and Chaos are his children and they were threatened by his human. He looks with his big wolf eyes straight into Miriam's humans eyes with the most apologetic look he could show her, he whimpered softly.
