—Killian— I wake up and I immediately stretch my hands towards Lena, but all I'm met with is just cold empty blankets, I immediately get up in shock wondering where she is. But immediately I get up there's a pair of confused eyes staring at me. "Uncle Killian, why were sleeping on the floor?" Will asks me still rubbing sleep away from his eyes. "Well Will, your aunt Lee Lee and I decided to sleep here last night, it was like a mini camp." I tell him and I immediately regret using those words. "You guys campers without me?" He asks me and Immediately his mouth starts to wobble like he's about to start crying. Oh fuck, I have to fix this somehow, if he starts crying Kate is going to murder me. "No buddy, it wasn't like that, we actually came to get you but you were already asleep with your mum and dad, so we decided not to wake you up." I tell him hoping that he believes me. "Are you sure Uncle Killian? You're not just saying that are you?" He asks me, da
—Killian— After breakfast, everyone sits at the table not wanting to move, knowing that once we get up from here, we are leaving our bubble that we have been in for the past few days and we're going to war. "I don't want to leave this house, I don't want to get up." Lena whispers but we can all hear her and we all murmur our agreement that we all feel the same way. "Once we leave, it's never going to be the same again, I just know it." Kate says and for the first time since I've known her, I swear I see tears welling up in her eyes. "We can't think like that, if we go into this fight having these kind of thoughts, then we've already lost." I tell them. "Killian's right we can't think of the worst case scenarios, we need to go into this fight with the mindset that we'll win and we'll all come out alive." Lachlan concurs. As the alpha I get up first knowing that if I don't do it nobody else will. "Ok, we know the plan, we're packed, so how about everyone get r
—Jeremy— "Well dear sister, I guess I'm just going to have to kill Lachlan Burrows." I tell her and she looks at me in shock, while Elijah just shakes his head. "What do you mean you're going to have to kill him? You're not even sure he knows that Lyanna is alive, maybe he just brought her up." Elena tells me, she's always been the voice of reason. "No, I can't believe that after all these years he would just bring up her name especially since Lena is still very sensitive on that subject." I tell her. "It could also be because the anniversary is tomorrow, the day we buried my father and the day Lena gave birth, the anniversary is tomorrow. So it's possible that Lachlan was just reminiscing about the past." Elijah tells me and then a sad look sits on his face. "Is it really tommorow? So it's been eight years already since we lost him." Elena says and Immediately a somber look falls on all of us. "Yeah and from what Jeremy just said, he never wanted us to do
—Jeremy— Iannis walks into the room and I smile. "Ah Iannis my friend, you are right on time." He doesn't return my smile, maybe it's because we are not really friends and also because I'm blackmailing him to help me. "You need to smile more, your age is starting to show." I tell him as I gather Elijah's drugs. He looks at me like he wants to kill me and he can actually, that's how powerful he is, with a snap of his finger he could kill me where I stand, but if he does that, he's sentencing his family to death, I've already put plans in place for that. "You wanted to see me?" He asks with a tired look on his face. I hand Elijah his drugs and make sure he swallows everything before I turn my attention back to Iannis. "Yes, please have a seat." I tell him gesturing to the chair closest to Elijah's bed. Elijah has this unique talent of reading people, he's able to tell when they are lying or telling the truth, I could easily do it by listening to th
—Lena— As earlier discussed, we each piled ourselves into two cars, Killian and Lachlan were currently loading Mariana's coffin into the boot of the SUV. My mind was all over the place, I don't think it has settled since everything that has happened, from my sister been brutally murdered to finding out my daughter was still alive after believing that she was dead all these years and the person behind all this, is the one guy in my life that I actually loved and was close to getting married to. Killian might say all this isn't my fault that I should stop blaming myself but it is, even if Jeremy would've found another way to get back at Lachlan, he chose me because I was the gullible one, I believed all his lies and I brought this monster into our lives and now we are on the run preparing to go to war. It would've been different if it were only me, but it's not I've dragged everyone I love into this, Including my sweet innocent Will, he shouldn't be here right now, he shoul
—Elliot Bennett— Next week will mark a year since I've been at Alpha Kelly's pack and although I had reservations at the beginning, I'm happy that I was proven wrong. Everyone has been so welcoming, even Alpha Kelly and also his Beta. They never made me feel like I was an outsider and the best thing that I've gained from my stay here is the friendship between me, Jeho and Alan, what we have is a bond that will never be broken. So I have to admit that our parents were right this year together really worked. But as much as I love it here, I can't wait to get back to my own pack, back to my father, I haven't seen him in almost a year and yes we talk on the phone and write letters, but it isn't the same and I also have a feeling that he's hiding something from me. Another reason why I want to leave is Heather, this past year, we've gotten pretty close even though I tried to fight it, but it was as if my body was seeking hers out and I don't know why, I can't explain it bu
—Lena— “Shift,” Killian commands. My bones instantly obey, cracking again, even the broken ones, snapping back into place. For a few seconds, the pain dims everything. Am I going to pass out? Oh, please, let me just fade away. Too soon, my shifter healing kicks in, and I’m snatched back from darkness. I can’t escape. My wolf mewls for him. Help. His lip curls in disgust, but his eyes flicker blue to gold. “Stand up,” he snarls. I can’t. I don’t have the strength, and everyone will see everything. “Stand up, or I’ll drag you up.” Killian growls a warning. It’s a question. You dare defy me? Summoning every scrap of energy I have left, I roll to my stomach and push up on my good knee. I can’t just stand; my bad leg won’t let me. I stagger to my feet, exposing my butt, my belly, the wicked scars on my thighs and calves. The shame scalds as hot as fire. "I, Alpha Kelly, Rejec
—Lena— "What are you doing here?" I asked him, still smiling. In case you are wondering who Jeremy is, he's the one who took Kate and I told the hospital when I was losing my baby. We later found out that he was the alpha of the Crescent wolf pack and also the CEO of Lex Crescent Corp, a multi national company. After he took me and Kate to the hospital that day, he continued to help us. He helped us find a house and also enroll in law school. He's been a really great friend, and as of five months ago my boyfriend. "I knew what today was and I didn't want you to be alone." He says, smiling down at me. Oh goddess, what did I do to deserve such a sweet man. "You're the best." I tell him. He smirks, "I know, now come on get in, I freed up my day so we can do anything you want today." I get in the car. "Really anything I want." He takes my hand and kisses it. "Yes, my love anything you want." I laugh. "You are so
