We both passed out into a blissful sleep, my head on his chest as the sound of his heartbeat lulled me to sleep. Everything that has happened, all that we've lost; I have my mate. When I open my eyes, Tristan is awake; his eyes staring into space as he absent mindedly plays with my hair. I watch him think; knowing he needs time to process the events of the previous day. I take in his features, the shape of his perfect eyes, his perfect lips and the way his hair is scruff but somehow always looks like sex on legs. My mate, the other half of my soul; the future father to our pup. As my hand moves to my stomach he realises I'm awake, leaning down to press his lips to my head. Watching my hand he smiles, moving to hover over me. "Hello baby" he whispers to my stomach as I watch him with love. "You have the most amazing mother, we are going to make sure you are the most loved child in the whole world" he kisses my stomach, my heart melting watching him. "You are

Tristan's perspective: I'm trying to keep my breathing normal as Aiden explains the requests of the alphas. My mind unable to process, as he explains they want us both my heart races. I've always done everything I can for the eclipse pack, I've put my heart and life on the line to keep them all safe. It's always been who I am; making up for the suffering they had under my father by being everything his wasn't. 'We can't rule this many wolves' I say to Cole; who doesn't share my anxiety. 'We are an alpha, we will always do what we can' he answers, trying to share his strength with me. I look down at my beautiful mate, my whole world; thinking it will give me strength. It always does. She looks anxious, which amazes me, because if anyone is a born leader it's her. Her power and love have been nothing short of a miracle. She's barely had time to bond with our pack yet she didn't hesitate to put her life on the line in battle. She is so loving, so protective of those close to her heart,

Nathanial's perspective: When I stormed out of Eclipse, my mind was racing as I tried my best not to break down in tears as I pushed forward. The only place I know I can go, to see Mira. She was the only one separate to Armina, who would care about my pain and maybe help me see where I can go from here. When I rejected her I expected the bond to break, not the connection to my pack. I guess in a way it confirmed what I already knew, Tristan was the true Alpha, once again I'm just second best. I should have said something when I noticed the changes in her marks, the way she'd avoid my eyes but watch Tristan like the sun revolved around him. I could see the difference from almost the start, yet I'd lost my best friend, my pack and my brother all because of her. My life would have been better if we'd never gone to that stupid summit, Tristan hadn't even wanted too. I pushed it; biggest mistake of my life. Mira is waiting for me outside her home, running forward and throwing her arms

Nathanial: We've been travelling for days, everything blurring together. Mira has kept us from running into trouble, using a lot of her power to keep us hidden; our tracks untraceable as we move to what feels like the middle of no where. It's our final stretch, atleast that's what she said this morning before we started off. Croxus is tired, the days spent running; hunting for food and making sure to keep alert for any stray rogues. I feel the change in the environment when we cross the barrier. This is pack lands; I stiffen, Mira gently patting me to let me know to let her down as she jumps to the ground. "We seek an audience with Layla Hurst" she speaks bodly, I feel the wolves circling; several in the trees as Croxus growls, waiting for attack. "Calm Croxus" Mira scolds us, "Tell her that her son Nathanial wishes to speak with her" she continues. Everything is silent. The wolves coming no closer the seconds tick by. Soon it's been over twenty minutes, Croxus becoming restless a

Nathanial's perspective: It's been two weeks here at the Red Mountain pack and honestly it's the most at peace I have felt in my entire life. The way the pack runs, it's not all about preparing for war it's about peace and harmony. Between the protection the witches offer and the strength of the wolves here they've got protection covered. Especially when most packs don't even know they exist, keeping their business seperate has created something wonderful here. My mother is truly a kind and unique soul. The day she brought me into her home the room had several baby photos of Tristan and I along with candles and special prayer candles for our safety. She shared how she had the witches check in on us and how proud she was of what she heard back. It was hard when I asked why she didn't ever come back, but when she explained her fears it was understandable. She didn't want to hurt us either, but she also apologised because it has always been her biggest regret. My peace however als
