Leilani-For a minute I figured they were just going to talk for me. I was tired of people taking over my life since it has been like that for as long as I can remember. Now that they were willing to get my input, I realized that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.The idea of getting stuck in that place again didn’t sit well with me. If there was a way for me to get in and out, then I wouldn’t mind going back. I was still curious about why I couldn’t gain access to my old room.“Are you sure I can go in and out without any issues?” Sitting forward in my chair, I placed my elbows on the table.“Yes, but I will go with you the first couple of times just in case. You will do it, but I will be there to help you, should you run into any problems.” Delilah gave me a reassuring smile.I didn’t know her as well as the others did. In the time I have been speaking to her though, she has seemed to be, well I wasn’t too sure what she seemed to be. All I knew was things were a mess and she knew a

Leilani-Eric and I were the last ones in the auditorium after everyone left. I was still floored that Delilah wanted me to remove a scale from Archer. Looking over at Eric, he appeared to be waiting for me.“She can’t be serious.” I stated, not really concerned if he responded or not.“I wouldn’t know, but I am sure it will be fine.” His hand moved to my thigh, where he squeezed it slightly, giving me the impression that he was attempting to comfort me.I thought he was going to remove his hand, but he kept it there. His gaze moved down to his hand, and I saw that his eyes darkened slightly. Instantly I felt myself become aroused, thinking of what he had promised me this morning.Technically we were alone, even if someone could walk in at any moment. Not that I cared since this has been building up all day. I wasn’t sure what time it was, but it feels like it has been an eternity.Before I could say or do anything, he moved his hand up to my hip and placed his other hand on the other

Eric-I have heard of others allowing their wolves to take control when they were with their mates because it allowed them to be with them. Tate had even told me of a time or two that his wolf had been granted control during certain instances. When Desmond wanted to do it, I figured it would be fine.Now I realize I was completely wrong. For one I never even asked Leilani if she was okay with it. Looking at the deep bruising on her pelvic bone, I saw Desmond had been too rough with her. I knew everything that had happened, felt it even.The entire time I had been too engrossed in how it made me feel that I failed to see how far he took it. I couldn’t take my eyes off the marks.“Damnit, Eric! Look at me!” Leilani yelled, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at her.“Do not see what you did?” I asked my wolf, needing him to understand how much he messed up.He didn’t respond, yet I didn’t think he would. I had hoped I would feel his guilt or something, yet I felt nothing that signified

Eric-“For all of it. I am not going to stand here and deny the fact that you were physically hurt didn’t bother me.” I began as I pulled back so I could look her in the eyes. “But I shouldn’t have let it bother me to the extent that I allowed it to.”“I was probably a bit too hard on you as well. Archer explained that you probably reacted the way you did because I am your mate. I still don’t fully understand everything, but I suppose I was in the wrong too. Also, I shouldn’t have slapped you.” She admitted.The last thing I expected was that Archer would have come to my defense at all. I was glad she was willing to admit to her faults, as well as mine. For our first argument, I suppose it could have turned out to be a lot worse, instead, we were able to admit our wrongdoings.Pulling her back against me, I tightened my hold on her and just basked in her warmth. I wasn’t sure how long we stood there, but she allowed me to hold her like this without making it become uncomfortable. With

Leilani-From what little I have heard about their father, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to meet him. As we stood outside his door, I felt nauseous. This wasn’t the ideal way to meet him, but I wanted to leave a good impression at the very least.The only father figure I had was a man that turned his back on me the first sign that his mate wasn’t happy with me. Yeah, he might have helped me escape, but I couldn’t forget all the times he had stood by and watched his mate treat me like crap.Now things were different, and I wanted them to like me, since I was with their son. The thought of them not liking me and making my life a living hell, made me feel ill. It wasn’t like I could just run away.“What is wrong?” I heard Archer’s voice in my head, reminding me once again that he could feel everything I felt.“It is a long story, but I am about to meet their father.” I admitted, speaking to him within my mind.“I am sure he will adore you. I don’t know you as well as I once had, but if you a

Leilani-“The emotional turmoil you feel is enough to make me go crazy. Do you want to talk about what is going on in that head of yours?” Archer asked as soon as I stepped into the living room.He was sitting on the couch reading a book. It was weird seeing him with a book in his hand nearly every time I found him alone. It wasn’t that I didn’t think it was a good thing he was reading, but I was a bit confused that he could read.Being imprisoned for so long, I figured he wouldn’t be able to do a lot of things. Yet this is the third book I have found him with. Unless he never finished the other ones, he was perhaps more of an avid reader than I was.I loved books but here lately, it seems like I haven’t picked up a book in a long time. With everything going on, I was struggling to find time to read. Maybe I just needed to figure out how to manage my time better or something.“I was just not looking forward to what is about to happen.” I admitted, as I sat down next to him on the couc

Eric-As I watched everyone get ready, I couldn’t help but be worried that this wasn’t going to work. Not wanting Leilani to know I was having my doubts, I kept it to myself. She was already appearing to be extremely nervous about everything.“Okay, we are ready to start.” Delilah said as she guided Leilani to stand around the makeshift fire pit Jarod created.After Leilani was where Delilah wanted her to be, she turned to my parents and had them sit side by side near the fire. With Leilani standing behind them, Jarod and Delilah stood on opposing sides of the fire, until the three created a triangle. Moving around, I went to stand opposite Leilani so I could get a better view of what was going on.“We are going to speak slowly so you can properly pronounce the words we speak. They will be in Latin, but it isn’t important if you don’t know what the words mean. We will repeat the words repeatedly, so try your hardest to get it so you are speaking in unison with us.” Delilah explained.

Leilani-The darkness that surrounded me wasn’t right. Yes, it was nighttime, but it hadn’t been this dark. Blinking my eyes, I started to see some light moving in and out of my vision. I felt strange, like I had been drugged or something.“Leilani?” Eric’s loving voice filled my ears.I tried to focus on the light, but it was extremely out of focus. Blinking a few more times, things started to become clearer. What had happened? Had the spell worked?“Eric?” I whispered, as I looked into the light blue eyes of my mate.He released a harsh breath and his shoulders slumped mildly. Wait, why was I laying on the ground? I heard someone crying, a man perhaps. Could it be that the spell had gone wrong, and Charles and Isabelle didn’t make it?Sitting up, I was thankful for Eric’s assistance. For the strangest reason, I felt disoriented, out of place perhaps. I couldn’t remember what had happened.One minute I felt the other versions of me coming forward to echo the words Jarod and Delilah s
