Teagan's Point of ViewFear was written across Bellamy's face. Had his hands shaking as he answered the phone. Put it on loudspeaker for me to hear. And Ulrich, although he tried his best to escape the kitchen and conversation.But one look from me had him retracing his steps until he was in front of the kitchen island. Within arm's reach of me and Bellamy. His face looked pained. Conveyed just how uncomfortable he was. But from here on out, we did everything as a team.There wasn't going to be another Harland. I wouldn't let the gap be wide enough for it. Alvara had private relationships with each of her mates. Well, I was going to do the opposite. Forced everyone into each other's spaces until they were all comfortable. Well-adjusted.It was a promise I had made to myself when I asked Harland for a divorce. To make sure that nothing like it ever happened again.Just the thought of Harland had my chest clenching tightly. Brought a tremble down my spine that I wanted to shove away."

Teagan's Point of View"Did you call him?" I asked, looking over my shoulder at Ulrich.He was sprawled out on the back seat of the car. Took up more space than he needed to. It almost looked like he was trying to hide.But Bellamy was driving. Had insisted that we all go to my parents instead of just the two of us. For backup or to keep me from strangling my parents, I wasn't sure. "He is on his way there. Just picked up some clothes at the store and showered." Ulrich said and caught my eyes in the rearview mirror.Harland.The one man I wasn't entirely comfortable seeing yet. The one man that broke my heart. Who let our parents get into his head all those years ago and never got rid of them.I needed him there when I confronted them. When I made my rageful entrance and strangled both of them for putting us through all of this.Fine.Maybe Ulrich had come along to keep me from killing them. Bellamy could keep Harland at bay. Because I knew for a fact that we both wanted their blood

Teagan's Point of View Jessebelle brought out tea and coffee for everyone. Stood at the door and watched as the drama unfolded. Her little smirk of satsifaction upon seeing Mariland's distraught face was enough to make me smile as well. "Now then, we have something to drink. The mood in the room seems to be less intense. Care to explain what happened?" Bellamy asked, placing his coffee on the small table in the middle of the room. We were sitting around the living room like we were friends. Discussing the weather and upcoming plans. Like we weren't hoping the other would just fall over and die. Keagan sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Placed on leg over the other. His eyes slid my way. Took me in with a remorseful look that had my bones aching. Was he ever as bad as Mariland? Not really. But he permitted it and that was all the confirmation I needed to not pity him. "When we mated, we tried for years to have a child. Jonah was freshly made the Alpha of Desert Sun and h

Teagan's Point of View Even with everything aired out, Harland barely looked my way. His shoulders were still sagging. Hair fell into his eyes. And whenever I tried to make eye contact with him he would look away the moment he noticed. The air wasn't clear yet. "He is going to be away for two days. I say we haul up in the pack house and start digging for whatever we can find on him. I told him I'm your new assistant, so he won't question my scent. Harland can lead the run tonight so that no one questions your absence too much. Get the shit and-" Bellamy shook his head in the driver's seat. Locked eyes with me in the back of the car. At least Harland had agreed to drive with us instead of walking. "No. I'll go lead the run. They won't expect Teagan to be there, seeing as the news of her pregnancy has spread like wildfire. Jonah can smell Harland in the house when he gets back because by then we will have everything we need to dethrone him. Just make sure that Felix doesn't j

Teagan's Point of ViewThe end note left my mind reeling. Shot a wave of dizziness through my body. Jonah knew. Knew about Harland being here and about Ulrich. Knew that we had taken some of his files. And he had done nothing about it. Actually counted on the fact that we might come snooping again.Now he was somewhere in the desert, likely dead, from what the note implied."We have to tell Bellamy." I breathed, feeling my lungs quiver with each word.Ulrich's eyes shot towards mine. Eyebrows nearly touched his hairline. "There is no fucking way I'm letting you go down there by yourself. We might not be able to hear what is happening but I can assure you, it isn't going to be pretty." "His father can be somewhere out there fighting for his fucking life and you just want to keep that from him when we can try and help?" I screeched, balling my hands into tight fists.A sheepish look passed over his face then. One of pain as well. "It's not like the guy is winning the Father of the Yea
