Indianna woke the next morning with Greyson next to her, his arms wrapped tightly around her. She woke early, while it was dark out, but she couldn't go back to sleep. She just laid in Greyson's arms, savouring his touch.

"Did you sleep at all last night?" Greyson whispered into Indianna's ear. She smiled and nodded.

"I slept so well," she said honestly.

"You've been awake since the early hours," he said. "You need sleep, sugar." Greyson's hands went to Indianna's stomach.

"I'm fine," she said. "I was enjoying just being here, with you."

Greyson moved so he was straddling Indianna, his hands on either side of her head. "I've missed this," he admitted.

"Me too," she whispered and reached up and pulled Greyson closer to her. She softly kissed him. "I still can't believe you're real."

"You better get used to it," Greyson said with a wink. "I'm sure there's a way I can get you to believe it." Greyson's hands slid down Indianna's body.

Indianna rolled her eyes. "We have all the time in the world for that when we've figured out a way to stop Rogue."

"Well mentioning him is a mood killer," Greyson muttered. There was a stiffness to his voice, an angry glint in his eye. He sighed and stood up. "I guess we better get ready."

"Greyson," Indianna called. She crawled to the end of the bed and took his hand.

"I'm fine," Greyson said. "I just want him gone from our lives."

"He will be."

Greyson nodded sharply and walked into the bathroom. Indianna flinched as she watched him walk away, looking at the scars and cuts on his back.

Indianna had laid back down on the bed and closed her eyes. She was feeling exhausted. The pregnancy and finding out about Greyson was taking its toll on her.

"You should have slept," Greyson said once he had returned from the bathroom. He had a towel wrapped around his waist. He sat down on the bed and ran his fingers down Indianna's arms. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine."

Greyson raised his eyebrows at Indianna. "You're lying."

"I'm just feeling a little drained," Indianna said. "Carry children is hard work, you know."

"Then go back to sleep, sugar," Greyson said firmly.

Indianna shook her head and sat up. "We need to talk to the guys. Figure out what we're going to do."

"That can wait a few hours-"

"No," Indianna said sharply. "It can't, Greyson."

Greyson sighed and helped Indianna off the bed. "I know," he said. "I've told Harry to not allow anyone apart from my family and the guys in the pack house today. Everyone will come in the evening for a meeting."

Indianna nodded. "I'm going to shower," she said.

"Please take it easy," Greyson said.

"I know what I'm capable of," Indianna said. "Don't you worry."

"Impossible."

Indianna shook her head and made her way into the bathroom. She showered quickly, not wanting to be away from Greyson for long. Once she was dry and dressed, she walked into the bedroom and looked at Greyson. "Ready?" He asked.

Indianna nodded. "Let's do this."

Greyson and Indianna walked downstairs to the lounge. They could hear their friends talking amongst each other. Greyson gripped Indianna's hand tightly and they walked in together. Silence filled the room and their friends all stared at Greyson with wide eyes.

Indianna smiled when she saw Greyson and Harry share a look and they both nodded at each other. Harry was standing away from everyone else, like usual. She knew that he was happy Greyson was back, they were basically brothers, but Indianna knew that it must be painful to see that she had her mate back, but he didn't have his.

"Shit, you look like death," Kal was the first to speak.

"Kal!" Kimberly gasped and hit Kal on the arm. "Jesus!"

Greyson cracked a smile. "You've not changed at all."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Kal said smugly."

"What happened?" Ace spoke up. He was staring at Greyson in shock. Tai was sitting next to him. "How are you alive?"

"Rogue faked my death," Greyson said and looked at Tai. "I wasn't aware you were letting strangers into my house, Ace." Greyson then spotted Sasha who was sitting silently in the corner. "And we're now keeping Brooklyn's friends as company?"

"Greyson, this is Tai, she's not a stranger," Ace said softly.

"She is to me."

"Obviously, this time yesterday you were dead," Kal said.

"You have no grace do you?" Greyson said.

"Greyson, Tai is new to the town with her brother. They're both werewolves."

"How convenient your mate turns up when Rogue has control of the town," Greyson said, studying Tai.

"How did you know she was my mate?" Ace asked.

"I may not have been here for a while, but you forget I know you, Ace," Greyson said and looked at Tai. "Where's your brother? Why aren't you part of a pack?"

"Her brother is Brandon's mate," Harry said. "You can understand why we don't exactly trust him."

"He can be trusted. He would do the right thing," Tai said.

"You can't be trusted when it comes to your mate," Kal said. "Harry is a prime example, he would let my sister die if it saved his mate."

"Don't try and make me feel guilty, Kal, you know I would have no regrets about going to get my mate right now," Harry said.

"Shut up," Greyson said firmly. He looked at Indianna. "Brandon is a werewolf?"

"Yeah, we were quite surprised too," Indianna said. "Tai and her brother Raiden moved to town with no clue about what they really were. They didn't know anything about the werewolf world. Raiden still doesn't. We can't risk him knowing about us because of how close Brandon is to Rogue."

"How did you grow up with no idea of what you were? Did your parents not tell you?" Greyson asked Tai.

Tai suddenly went very tense. "I... Er, they... No. They didn't tell us. They're dead."

"How do I know I can trust you?"

Tai narrowed her eyes. "I've done nothing that proves you shouldn't."

"Greyson, you can trust her," Ace said.

Greyson looked at Ace and nodded sharply. "What about her?" He asked, pointing to Sasha.

"She was there when Brooke was taken," Oscar told Greyson. "We've been letting her stay here for her protection."

Greyson looked at Harry. "We're getting her back," he said. He sounded so confident. "And Alice."

"You have a plan?" Ace said.

"I do. I may have been locked up for fucking ages, but I overheard a hell of a lot," Greyson said. He looked down at Indianna who was rubbing her stomach and guided her over to sit down on one of the couches. He sat next to her and took her hand. "Rogue is controlling his men. They aren't working for him out of their own free will."
