Indianna was unsure how long she had been in Greyson's arms. Holding him. Her headache had gone, the hot flushes had vanished and the only reason she felt faint was due to the shock. "I love you," she whispered. She repeated it over and over again.

"I know," Greyson murmured and ran his fingers through Indianna's long hair. "And I love you."

"I don't understand," she said. "I can't, I don't- G-Greyson."

"Don't talk," Greyson said. "Just let me hold you, sugar."

"Is this real?" Indianna said. "I've dreamt of you, I could be dreaming."

Greyson pressed his lips to Indianna's and she melted. Warmth filled her and she relaxed immediately. Only the touch of her mate could make her feel this way. "You would know if that was a dream," Greyson said.

Tears formed in Indianna's eyes again. "I've missed you."

Greyson swallowed and blinked. He was holding back tears. "Let's get up from the grass, shall we?" Greyson stood and pulled Indianna with him. She didn't let go of him and he didn't move his arms from around her. Greyson stiffened when he looked over to where Rogue was previously standing. He was no longer there. "Good riddance," Greyson muttered.

A cough made Greyson look over at Harry who was staring at him. He was expressionless. "Greyson," he said as Greyson and Indianna walked over to Harry.

"Brother," Greyson said and pulled away from Indianna to embrace Harry in a hug. More tears formed as Indianna watched this and she wiped her damp cheeks. Neither Greyson or Harry where talking, but they didn't need to share words in this moment. "I come back from the dead and even that doesn't make you shed a tear," Greyson said after they pulled apart. "You haven't changed."

Harry gripped onto Greyson's shoulder tightly. "You're back."

Greyson raised an eyebrow. "Glad you've realised."

Harry couldn't help but laughed. "You haven't changed."

Greyson reached out for Indianna and wrapped his arms tightly around her again. He kissed the top of her head. "You've got a lot to fill me in on."

"We need to get you home and cleaned up first. You look exhausted. You need rest," Indianna said. He reached up and touched Greyson's cheek. "You're bruised. Did he... were you-"

"I'm fine," Greyson said. "I can handle a few cuts and bruises. I did handle it."

"What did he do to you?" She whispered.

Greyson frowned. "You really don't need to know that, sugar, but it was nothing I couldn't handle."

"Now really isn't the time to act tough," Harry snapped.

"Honestly, Rogue thought he was doing a lot more damage than he did," Greyson said. "They used wolfsbane, it's a poison, it's why I've not healed."

"We need to get you to Doc," Indianna said. She gripped Greyson's hand tightly. "We're going home, now."

Greyson raised an eyebrow, surprised at Indianna's sterness. "Yes, ma'am," he whispered into her ear. "I forgot what it did to me when you turned all strict."

Indianna hit his chest. "This is not the time or place, Greyson. I'm still processing this and my mind is in overdrive. Can we please get you home where you're safe and then you can be your annoying self."

Greyson couldn't help but smirk. "God, I've missed you."

"Stay here," Harry said. "I'll collect the car and pick you two up. We can't risk people seeing you, Greyson."

"Right," Greyson said and his eyes narrowed, anger flashing through them. "The whole town thinks I'm dead. Because of Rogue."

Harry disappeared and Indianna looked up at Greyson. "Talk to me," she said quietly.

"I will," Greyson said slowly. "I'll tell you everything, I promise. You just need to give me time. I guess I'm a little bit all over the place as well."

"How can I help?" Indianna asked.

"Don't leave my sight," Greyson said firmly. "You can help me by being with me. Just the thought of you, sugar, kept me sane. The thought of eventually coming back to you kept me strong. You saved my life, Indianna. You are the one and only reason why I survived Rogue."

*

The pack house was quiet when they arrived and Greyson was glad. He wasn't ready to deal with anyone, explain anything. All he wanted was Indianna and nothing else. He was just wanted to spend the night with her and deal with being an Alpha tomorrow.

"You have to tell the pack," Harry said when the three of them got out of the car. "They're not stupid, people will realise that there's something off. They'll notice your scent."

"They'll have questions," Greyson sighed.

"Of course they will."

"I've not seen my mate in months, I want one night with her before shit gets serious," Greyson snapped. "I don't care that people will have questions, the questions will still be there tomorrow. Let me rest, let me hold my mate and tomorrow I will be the Alpha."

Harry stared at Greyson for a few moments before nodding. "I'll tell Ace and Kal, we'll inform the pack of your return. Ace will arrange a meeting for tomorrow. They're going to want to see living proof."

"Do not tell my family, I will. And make sure the meeting is tomorrow evening. I want to see you guys in the day and we need to come up with a plan."

"A plan?"

"Do you think I've spent months being physically and mentally tortured and I'm just going to let it go now I've been allowed back?" Greyson scoffed. "We're going to kill Rogue, for good this time."

Indianna felt something she hadn't felt in a long time. Hope.

    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
