Rogue gave Stacey a look. "So, do you think she's broken?" He repeated. "I want control. Do you think I've got control over her?"

"I think she'd do as you say," Stacey nodded. "No matter what."

Rogue smiled. "Fantastic."

"So, what are you going to do to help her? She can't stay how she is now."

Rogue took a deep breath and crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm going to give her what she needs. What her body is craving."

"You make her think that you're the bad guy," Stacey said and looked up at Rogue with love-filled eyes. "But, you're really not."

"As long as you think that, then that's all that matters."

Harry, Kal, and Kimberly returned home after school. It took Kal a lot of effort to drag Harry away from Brooke when they saw each other in the car park.

Brooke's heart had broken when she saw him. She was less than two meters away and her heart ached for him. She could have reached him in a matter of seconds and touched him. Embraced him. Instead, she swallowed and took a step back. She knew that Alec had no loyalty to her, he would tell Rogue if she broke the rules. He wouldn't risk Alice getting hurt. His priority was Alice. Just like Harry's priority was Brooke. Harry was heartless to pretty much everyone but Brooke. Brooke didn't doubt that he would kill Alice himself if it meant he could have Brooke back in his arms.

"No," Brooke whispered and shook her head. Kal frantically grabbed Harry's arms, stopping him from running to Brooke. "You can't. You have to stay away, my love."

"Please," Kal pleaded. "Harry, I know you care about me just enough to not go to her. I'm so sorry, Brooke."

Brooke smiled sadly. "It's fine, I love Alice. I'd do anything for her."

"Brooke, I am sorry for keeping you from your mate, but I'm not risking mine, so let's go," Alec snapped. "Now. I do not trust your mate."

Brooke wiped her damp eyes and turned her back on Harry. Every cell in her body was telling her to turn around and run to him. "You shouldn't. Just be glad you can trust me otherwise Alice would have no hope."

"I'm glad she has people that care for her."

"She's an extraordinary girl. She's loved by many."

"And they all hate me," Alec chuckled.

"Yes," Brooke said. "But I understand your situation. They do too, but we want to fight. You don't. The pack are fighters, we don't give up. What you're doing, giving into Rogue. That's giving up."

"It's working for me," Alec shrugged. "You guys aren't doing too great."

"We'll think of something."

Alec scoffed. "If you were going to, you would have by now."

Harry watched Brooke get into Alec's car and drive away.

"I'm sorry, man," Kal whispered.

"Shut it," Harry growled and stormed over to his car. They waited for Kimberly to join them and they drove home in silence.

Ace and Tai were sitting on the porch, talking quietly. Ace looked up when Harry, Kal, and Kimberly reached them. He frowned. "Where's Indie?"

"Ah," Kal said. "She, er, collapsed at school."

"What?" Tai gasped. "The babies-" Tai cut herself, surprising herself that she cared.

"She's with Rogue," Harry explained. "As much as he's a monster, we all know he doesn't want those babies harmed. He will make sure she's okay."

"I wouldn't be so sure," Kal muttered. "I'd much rather she'd be home."

"No," Ace sighed. "Harry is right. Even though he has inflicted so much pain on Indianna, I think physically he doesn't want to harm her."

"Just emotionally," Kal said and clenched his hands into fists. "The bastard."

"What was wrong with her?" Tai wondered.

Kal paused. "From what Stacey described over the phone to Kimberly... It almost seemed like she was suffering from the effects of the mate bond."

"That's impossible," Ace frowned. "When Greyson died all of the side effects from being away from him died with him."

Kal held his hands up. "I'm not saying it was, it's just what it sounded like."

Ace sighed. "Let's hope she comes home soon."

"Changing the conversation," Kal said suddenly. He looked at Tai. "Are you feeling a little less murderous now?"

Tai narrowed her eyes at Kal. "If you don't mind your own damn business I'll come for you next time I lose control."

Kal whistled. "Calm your temper. I was just asking."

"I should get you home. I'm sure your brother is worried about you."

"Are you sure you want to go home to a guy that is shacking up with Rogue's suck up," Kimberly said, raising her eyebrows.

"Raiden isn't the person to be concerned about," Tai said firmly. "He's innocent."

"Oh, I'm sure," Kimberly said.

"Kimberly," Ace said. "Don't."

Kimberly shrugged her shoulders and linked her arm through Kal's. "Just speaking the truth."

"Can't say I disagree with her, man," Kal admitted. "You know how the mate bond affects you. We have no idea what Brandon is telling Raidon about us."

"He's my twin," Tai said. "He would never betray me. He would always choose my side. You don't know what we've been through together." Ace gave Tai a curious look which she ignored. "Can you take me home, Ace?"

"Of course," Ace said softly and stood up. "While I'm gone, try and get in touch with Indie."

"That's exactly what I was going to do," Kimberly said and pulled Kal into the house.

"Come on, let's get you home," Ace said to Tai. He held his hand out and to his surprise, Tai took it.

    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
