Clayton's P. O. V.

I stomped down the hallway. I couldn't fathom it all. My Kate was back... but she was so far away.

I snarled and turned the corner freezing when I saw Kaden chasing Dalton while Drew, Lexi, and Mike all sat on the couch encouraging him. I watched my son with calming nerves. A smile began to grace my face.

"Clay?" Lexi's voice made me glance over at her and I felt my smile drop at her wondering eyes.

"When can I see her? Mommy's home where is she?" Kaden asked me and I felt my chest tighten and I looked away from his hopeful eyes.

"Mommy's sick Kade; right now she needs rest, you'll see her soon." I said and couldn't miss the disappointment in his voice as he said, "Okay..."

I gulped and nodded to everyone before making my way outside. I needed to let it out.

I shed my clothes and shifted immediately bolting out into the woods. My claws dug into the ground as I ran onward. My eyes burned with tears and I snarled in pain.

I tore into the bark of trees and howled in anguish. Why was I being tortured so...?

After some time my eyes snapped back toward the house. I pelted back home and snatched up my clothes, which lay by the porch, in my jaws.

I barreled my way back inside, I'd left the door open, and stalked towards the cellars. As I went through the living room everyone looked at me and I growled.

"Clay?" Lexi started but I snarled and jumped over them and prowled to the cellars.

I walked down the dark corridors and paused beside a cell and peered in at the two. I shifted and slipped on my clothes. With a growl I opened the cell and walked inside.

I looked at my parents-in-law with a snarl. They were both chained up and battered. But even in that state they glared all the same.

"What did you do to her? Why doesn't she remember me?" I gritted out through clenched teeth. I'd meant to come for answers but just gazing at the two of them made my urges for vengeance stronger. I wanted them dead.

"She's a Hunter... like she should be." Her mother said and I bared my fangs at her.

"What about Kaden? He needs his mom." I growled feeling my patience start to ebb away.

"That abomination can do fine without one." Richard spat and I tensed.

"That abomination is your grandchild." I snarled. Richard scoffed.

"Mutts will not be in this bloodline." He said and I growled.

"It's too late for that and my son is not a mutt!" I yelled.

"When Katlyn has another kid with someone besides you, then I'll claim it. But that's not part of my family and neither are you." He said glaring at me with eyes full of disgust.

"Old man you're forgetting who's in charge here... So I suggest you watch your mouth." I growled out trying but failing to control my temper.

"She had sex with someone else. Doesn't that bother you? She had sex with Jaxon. Called out his name not yours." Richard said in a mocking tone and I felt my body begin to tremble with anger.

"Shut up." I snarled.

"The truth hurts doesn't it Conny?" Richard smirked and I let out a deep growl.

"Well she needed a distraction so we gave her one. It's a shame y'all killed Jaxon... he was actually a good kid." Richard said and I frowned.

"You gave her one?" I growled.

"Yes... we hired Jaxon. He was Katlyn's guard as you could say, but she didn't know, and he stepped his borders when he began bedding her. He knew the risks. It's a shame." Katlyn's mother sighed and I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

What the hell was wrong with them?

"How do I get her back?" I asked and they both glared at me.

"You can't." Those two words made my last bit of restraint vanish.

I launched myself at them and shifted midair. My claws dug into flesh. My teeth ripped through skin, crushed bone. Screams rang in my ears. The smell of blood filled my nose.

I stepped back eyeing the massacre I'd made and snorted in satisfaction before shifting back and slipping my clothes back on.

I left the cellars and ordered it be cleaned and the bodies thrown away. They could feed them to the dogs for all I cared. My steps led me to the hall bathroom. I stepped inside and began showering getting as much of the blood that I could off. I growled at the fact I could still faintly smell it and I dried off and went toward my room. I'd have to shower again later... I prowled through the house going to my room.

Anxious and fearful to see my wife.

They're reunited but yikes what a time.

I'll update sooooon!

Katlyn's P. O. V.

"You're sleeping with me tonight." the alpha said barging into the room and I scoffed. He smelled like blood and soap. I wrinkled my nose.

"You're insane." I huffed and he growled softly.

"Come on." He growled and gripped my arm before practicality dragging me out of the room. I huffed in annoyance and followed him through the huge house.

We finally stopped by a door and he let my arm go. I rubbed where he'd held softly.
