noise. He didn’t want the campers to hear what was going on.
He waited until they split up and went for the one who was closer to the campsite than the others. The shifter Aishe sent to help them jumped on the lion shifter’s back, knocking the shifter down. He pinned the shifter down with all his weight as the shifter thrashed around. Just as the shifter was about to howl, he leaned down and ripped his head off and dashed over to the other shifters. He quickly found the others and did the same to them before they could make any noise. He shifted and carried the corpses to the Enforcers in the woods so they could get rid of them before the campers woke.

They made their way back to the Alpha’s house after Chelsea made breakfast the next morning without knowing what went on during the night.
At the Alpha house, they noticed the Enforcers cleaning something off the window and fixing another window. James was the first one to approach, he noticed it said, ‘ lion/wolf shifter not welcomed on the Isle, go back home . He didn’t want Chelsea or Charity to see it so he directed them straight to the house.

James felt as though he needed a few hours with his sister alone so he took her to the park down the street. It felt weird not having Charity by his side almost every second of the day. Besides Eli, Charity was his best friend. He knew what she was thinking at times and she knew what he was thinking as well. Their friends on the human side thought it was strange for a brother and sister to be best friends and always together.
The park they were at was filled with green grassy hills and benches that surrounded a large pond. James and Charity sat on one of the benches while Charity fed the ducks, neither of them knew where to begin.
“So how do you like it here so far?” James asked, just to say something.
“I love it here, I just wish mom and dad were here with us,” Charity said as she turned to look at James.
“I know, me, too. I am sorry I didn’t get there in enough time to save them,” James said as he looked into his sister’s eyes.
“James, it wasn’t your fault. If anything it was my fault,” Charity said. She had been feeling guilty ever since she found out her parents were dead.
“What!” James yelled. “It was not your fault, Charity, it was the shifters who killed them that are to blame, not you,” James said as he grabbed Charity by the shoulders and turned her toward him.
“Exactly,” Charity said.
“What do you mean when you say ‘exactly’?” James asked in a confused voice.
“You just told me it wasn’t my fault it was the shifters fault and I am saying the same thing to you,” Charity said.
Damn, James thought. He knew he had just walked right into that one. Charity was always able to get him to see the truth or the error in his ways by tricking him.
“Do you ever feel like mom and dad are still with us?” Charity asked.
“Yes, sometimes it feels as if they are watching me or I can hear mom calling my name,” James answered with a sigh.
“Me, too. Do you ever think the nightmares of seeing them like that will go away for us?” Charity asked her brother.
“Yes, we just have to remember the good times we had with them,” James said
As he thought about what Charity had just said, he knew it was time to take her somewhere else so they both could get new memories of their parents.
“Come on, I have one more stop to take you to, and I think you are going to love this one,” James said when he noticed the sad look that came over Charity’s face.
James had called Serenity earlier that day and she promised to have some good pictures out for him and Charity of their parents. He hoped they both could get some new memories of their parents out of this and the nightmares would stop. James wrapped his arm around his sister’s neck as they walked toward the Beta/Head Enforcer’s house where his mother’s best girl friends from the Isle were
