"We should get going soon," Brooke said, after checking her phone. She had a text from Harry, telling her to unblock her mind.
She ignored it.
"Yeah," Sasha nodded.
"Where are you guys going?"
"Brooke needs to go somewhere out of town," Sasha said. "I said I'd drive her."
Indianna raised her eyebrows. "Out of town?"
Brooke smiled. "Yep, we better get going-" Brooke swore when her phone rang and she sighed, answering it. "Yes, Harry?"
"Where are you?"
"Still in town."
"Unblock your mind, Brooklyn. You're not going until I can get in touch with you easily. I need to know I can make sure you're safe."
"Sorry, but I can't do that."
"You lied," Harry snapped.
"You should've guessed that, Harry," Brooke said.
"My cars just parked round the back of the diner," Sasha was telling Indianna.
"You're still at the diner?" Harry said, overhearing Sasha. "Stay where you are, babe."
"Sorry, gotta go!" Brooke said quickly.
"Don't you fucking-"
Brooke hung up and avoided eye contact with Indianna. "I've had an argument with Harry and he's on his way here. Can we go, like now?"
"Brooke, whatever you're doing, I don't think it's a good idea," Indianna said as Brooke stood.
"Chill, I won't crash the car this time," Sasha joked and stood as well.
Brooke rolled her eyes. "Lets speed things up, Sash, I'm kinda in a hurry."
"Hurry from Harry?" Sasha smirked.
"Move your butt, girl!" Brooke said and looked over her shoulder at Indianna. "Don't say anything to anyone about this," Brooke said quietly. "I'll be fine. Harry knows what I'm doing."
"He's just mindlinked me and told me to stop you," Indianna said and stood up.
"Sash, I'll meet you at the car," Brooke called and Sasha shrugged, walking out of the diner. "Am I the only person who blocks people out?" Brooke said to Indianna.
"What are you doing?"
"I can't say, not with Rogue's fuck buddy sitting across the room," Brooke muttered. "Look, this is mine and Harry's problem. He's just pissed that I'm still blocking him."
"You're going to try to leave," Indianna whispered. "You know you can't-"
"Out of all people I'm probably the only one who can!" Brooke said lowly. "Can I trust you to ignore Harry?"
Indianna shook her head. "Brooke, I can't let you go. You could get hurt."
"I can deal with hurt. I've had enough pain, I should be used to it by now," Brooke said. "I need to do this do Harry, for his parents."
"Brooke," Indianna whispered and took a step forward. "You're not going. I'm not letting someone else get hurt."
"I won't get hurt! But talking about it here isn't going to help!" Brooke said.
"You're not going," Indianna repeated. "I'm your Luna and I'm telling you no."
"You're also my best friend, you should trust me," Brooke whispered.
"I do trust you, it's him I don't trust. And his men." Indianna took another step forward. "Brooke, I'm sorry, but don't make me force you to stay here. I can't believe Harry agreed to let you go in the first place."
"Force me?" Brooke repeated. "And I can make my own damn decisions, I don't need anyone 'agreeing' on what I should do. Indie-"
"I'm a werewolf, you're only human," Indianna said softly. "I'm telling you no, you should listen."
"Only human?" Brooke said. There was a flash of hurt in her eyes. "Wow. Thanks a lot, Indie."
"That's not what I meant-"
"Just because you're a werewolf, it doesn't make you better than me!" Brooke snapped. She took a step back. "Indianna, don't take another step towards me."
"Then don't take another one back," Indianna said.
"What are you going to do, Indie?" Brooke asked.
"Brandon," Indianna said. Her voice was quiet, but he heard her and looked up. "I'm sorry, Brooke."
Brooke swore and span round.
"Stop Brooke," Indianna said.
Brooke rushed towards the exit, but she wasn't fast enough and Brandon stood up and blocked Brooke's path. "Hey," he said and caught her shoulders. "What's wrong?"
"Let me go," Brooke snapped and shoved Brandon back. She went to move past him again, but he easily held her back. "Get your hands off me!"
"What's going on?" Brandon demanded, looking at Indianna who had walked up to them.
"Indianna's thinks that she's the only one who can be right," Brooke said. "She clearly doesn't trust me."
"I do trust you!" Indianna argued. "Gosh, Brooke, I'd trust my life with you, and the life of my unborn children, which is why I'm trying to keep you safe!"
"You need to let me do this. I need to do this, for Harry," Brooke pleaded. "His head is all over the place right now. I need-"
"You're definitely not leaving my sight if he's involved," Brandon said.
Indianna forced a smile. "I would never."Greyson chuckled. "Are you not eating any more, sugar?"Indianna stared down at the food on her plate, feeling full. She had taken a lot more food than she could manage to consume. She shook her head.Greyson turned to his sister. "Has she actually eaten a decent breakfast?""Greyson, I've eaten!" Indianna argued.Kirstie rolled her eyes. "Trust your mate, you dick. She ate enough for a whole family.""Great. In that case." Greyson took Indianna's plate from her and sat down between the two girls, tucking into the remains of Indianna's breakfast."We better get organised," Mac said, running his hand along Kirstie's thigh. "We gotta a lot of men to get today.""No rest for the wicked," Kirstie sighed and jumped up from the floor. "Let's go tear down Rogue's empire, lover."Mac chuckled and let Kirstie pull him up from the floor. "Let's do this.""You know," Oscar said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stood up with Kirstie and Max , "you'd think th
DAY ONEIndianna was woken by Kal's snores, they were soft, but she had been struggling to sleep the whole night and now all she could focus on was Kal's heavy breathing. She sighed and turned over, trying to get comfortable which was rather hard with her bump. She was now looking at Greyson as he slept. He seemed so peaceful. His face was so calm and serene, she wished that he didn't have to wake up to the hell they were in.Greyson's eye twitched and Indianna knew that he was no longer asleep. He reached out, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest, resting his chin on her head and one hand on her stomach. *It's early, sugar, you should be asleep, not perving on me while I sleep.*Indianna chuckled slightly. *Sleep doesn't come easily these days.**Try,* Greyson pleaded. *It's 2am. You need your rest.**So do you.**I'm fine. I'm swapping watch duty with Oscar soon anyway.*The rest of the previous day was spent waiting anxiously for Oscar, Kirstie and Mac to ret
"Please don't call yourself that," Indianna said."It's true. I can't be trusted-""Would a monster feel remorse?" Indianna asked, cutting Tai off. "Do you think Rogue feels remorse over his actions?""That is different-""You are not a monster, Tai," Indianna insisted. "You didn't do what you did on purpose. As you said, you lost control. What happened has happened, it can't be taken back. The only thing we can do now is focus on the present. Tai, will you help us now?"It was a few moments before Tai acknowledged that Indianna had spoken. She pursed her lips and gave one sharp nod. "I need to wash this blood off of me," she said and turned on her heel and disappeared into Indianna's room.Indianna made her way to Greyson's room next. The scent of him surrounded her when she entered and she closed her eyes, caressing her bump. She didn't want to go without him. Indianna swallowed the lump in her throat and changed out of the clothes she had been wearing for dinner. Once she was in sw
"If I'd have known that talking to Brooklyn would change your mind then I would have suggested you do that as soon as you started to disagree with me."Indianna scowled at Greyson who smirked at her as she approached him. "Shut up."Greyson reached out and took Indianna's hand, pulling her towards him. "Thank you," he murmured."I'm still annoyed," Indianna grumbled and looked down at her feet, glaring."Hey." Greyson took Indianna's chin and tilted her head up. "Please don't be. You're keeping yourself and our children safe. That's the most important thing. Don't scowl at me, sugar.""You're important."Greyson smiled and kissed Indianna's forehead affectionately. "God, I love you, woman."Karl suddenly yelled from across the room. "They're here! Fucking hell, you took your time, lads! It's not like we're waiting for a psychopath to come and kill us or anything!""You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you?" Harry groaned, but made his way over to where Kal was now standing, over t
"Just me," Greyson croaked. "You know it's the smart thing to do. There's no point in slaughtering a whole pack.""You think I care about how many people I have control over? Do you think I care about that when my mate is lying dead in my arms!" Rogue roared. He threw Greyson to the side, kicking him onto the floor. "You will all die! I will kill you all for what you have done. None of you will live to see next week." Rogue looked down at Stacey and brushed her hair away from his face, smiling down at her. "Everything I will do to this pack will be for you, my love," he whispered. "I promise, I will make them suffer." He then walked towards the woods, not looking back at the pack. "If any of them try to leave, break their legs! I want them alive, for now!" Was the last thing Rogue said to his men before he disappeared. The rest of his men remained, but they retreated into the trees, out of sight, still there, but watching.The silence that followed next was deafening. No one said a wo
Nothing she could possibly say would help."Your pack killed my mate. SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU. OF YOUR PACK! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!" His yells echoed in the woods surrounding them. "You..." He whispered. "You are going to pay."Indianna was too stunned to speak. She was vaguely aware of Greyson putting himself between her and Rogue, but that didn't stop Indianna from staring at her brother who looked ferocious.His eyes were dark, teeth bared, face red and he was spitting blood when he spoke. "You, little sister, are going to suffer. Your pathetic mate can't protect you. Your pack. No one. You are no different from our parents. I thought I could change you. Make you into a version of yourself that I could be proud of. Oh, how I was wrong.""J-Jason," Indianna stuttered, her words barely audible. "I didn't want this to happen-""I don't want your fake pity!" He roared and Indianna flinched. "I don't want lies! I want revenge!"*Sugar, you know I will die before I let him get to you.*H
