Michelle’s POV Leo did not sleep all night which kept me on high alert too. He was tossing all night. I just want to get today over with. Savannah, Dana and I all testify today. Leo keeps fussing over me as we’re getting ready. “Baby, please… I need you to calm down a little bit. You’re making me nervous”. I’m not trying to hurt his feelings but he needs a Xanax or something. Maybe someone has some pot? Something. Geez. Maybe Grace can tranquilize him? We get to the courthouse and I’m determined. Emma meets me at the front, “are you ready?”. “Ready as I’m going to be”, I reply. I mean how does one ‘prepare’ other than reliving these damn memories. I’ve been trying to kill them. So close. “Okay hun, let’s do this”. As we enter, we take our seats in the front row bench to ready ourselves for when the prisoners enter. Leo has his hand on my thigh for comfort. The prisoner door opens and the sound of shackles clank. Suddenly I see a face that is so familiar to me yet I d

Michelle’s POV I gasp for air as if my lungs are full of water. We emerge from the memory with Selene. Emma and I both cling to one another. “Regan? Is our uncle?”, I ask… barely able to hold my own head up. “But why? Why would he kill our father… why?”. My head is killing me, it hurts so bad. My lungs hurt, my eyes hurt. All of me aches. The only thing holding me up is my sister. Leo can feel my pain. He scoops me up and pulls me tight into his chest. “I think we’ve had enough of this for a while, no offense moon goddess”, he states defensively. She looks at him solemnly. Emma hasn’t said anything. She’s not crying and hasn’t moved. Suddenly she shifts her eyes so she’s staring Selene directly in her own. “If we are somehow related to you, how could you watch all of this suffering unfold; not to mention what Michelle and I went through for the last ten years past that and not do a fucking thing to stop it?”. There is venom in her words. Lee goes to interjec

Liam’s POV Before Matteo was back in the room, I had already ordered guards to capture Regan. “We’re too late Matteo, he’s gone. He escaped. He counted on us playing the fool for too long”. Matteo looks stern but confident. “Don’t worry, we’ll get him. I’ll set out a team. It’s been a long day. Perhaps you’d like to take your Luna and your family home for the night. We’ll deal with Regan”. Emma is far too quiet. She is still staring at Erik. Suddenly she stands and quietly heads for the door. No one asks her anything or dares to speak to her. I’m about to follow when I see her walk into the interrogation room and close the door behind her. The council stirs uneasily behind me, “quiet… let her have a moment with her uncle. She deserves at least that much”. She stares at him, still unmoving but seems to be calculating him. “What powers did she have? Our mother?”. He looks almost scared to speak when suddenly he motions to the chair in front of him and she does, she

Emma’s POV Laying in bed, I just stare at the ceiling. Grace wanted to sedate me tonight with tranquilizers but I declined. I needed some time with my thoughts. “Can’t sleep my love? Are you sure you won’t take any medicine?”. I can feel Liam’s concern seep into me. It’s overwhelming. I know he means well. I let my head drift over to meet his eyes. “If I asked to go for a walk in the pack gardens, would you allow it?”. I can feel some pain through the bond but I know he understands. “Liam, love. There will be some things in this life you won’t be able to fix for me, no matter how badly you want to or try to. I just need to breathe with my thoughts and these emotions. I’m just restless and so are the little ones. I would love some fresh air and to stretch my legs is all”. Much to my surprise, he gently cups my cheek and simply nods. “I understand and I know I can be overbearing. I just love you so much. I want so badly to take this pain from you but can’t”. Placi

Michelle’s POV Leo’s eyes glossed over partway through our shower, forcing me to stiffen in anticipation. “Oh shit… Regan attacked Emma last night. She’s in the clear now apparently but I guess it was touch and go for a minute”. I take a minute to admire my mate in all his glory. “See something you like beautiful?”. I run my hands up his torso to his cheeks, “I love you Leo, you know that?”. I feel my chest tighten. I’m nervous for today. I’m scared for my sister. “Hey, hey… it’s okay. Your sister is okay. Goddess, that’s so weird to say ‘your sister’ by the way”. He nuzzles into his mark on my neck, making me swoon and moan slightly. “I wish baby, we don’t have time right now but you are helping me relax so don’t move”. His hands roam southward over my bottom. “I’ll be with you the whole time today. Stuck to you like glue. When it’s all over, we go see Emma… deal?”. He always knows how to make me feel better. I smile and nod, “Okay, let’s get thi
