Storms POV That night had drained me. I barely remembered Jared scooping me up and laying me gently in the bed. We were so ravenous I knew I would be sore in the morning. I wasn’t sure how long I had been out. Subconsciously I could feel Jared’s light sleeping breath against my back. His arm draped over me holding me in close. I felt Rain gently push from the back of my mind. ‘I am trying to sleep you know?’ I said to her sleepily. ‘I am aware it is my body too.’ She replied. I rolled my eyes at her. ‘What do you want? I want to go back to sleep.’ ‘I have some good news and some bad news. Spoken directly from our goddess.’ She peered right into me. I felt my breath hitch ‘Go on.’ ‘After tonight’s activities you will bare another child.’ ‘Oh wow okay that’s a lot….I’m assuming that is the good news. What is the bad news then?’ I gulped still holding my breath. ‘You will have to face Diego before you give birth…your power will be drained, you will slip away but y

Jared’s POVWe made our way into the city in wanted to take her out to a nice dinner at this upscale restaurant. Its lighting was just candles that were on the tables and a couple of chandeliers. It was an old building that had been around for centuries. It drew in a lot of pack members and other supernaturals. Not many humans lingered around. I glanced over at Storm who was looking out the window trying to glimpse the scenery as the sun was setting casting many shadows. I just smiled and set my hand on her exposed knee giving it a squeeze. She looked over at me then. Her hand setting on top of mine and she leaned her head over resting it on my shoulder. “Thank you.” She said. “For what?” I asked slightly confused. “For being everything I’ve needed you to be and then some. I know we didn’t get the perfect start and that I’m used goods but-“I cut her off I wouldn’t let her finish. “First off not everything gets it’s perfect beginning or ending and second don’t ever describe yoursel

Storms POV The day was lovely. Not too hot and not too cold. I could feel the air rushing through my hair giving me new life. The boys giggled in their stroller at the birds, bees, butterflies that they saw. Just as soon as I felt at peace I heard footsteps coming quickly. My whole body tensed ready to attack but then I felt Jared’s presence. “What are you doing out here?” I wondered surprised. “I wanted to spend time with my family. With everything going on I’ve neglected it for far too long.” He then wrapped me up in his arms and buried his nose in my hair as he took a deep breath in. I felt not just mine but his tension as well leave our bodies. He let me out of his embrace and held my hand and together we pushed the stroller through the trails talking about when we were growing up, old friends, all the things we should have done so long ago but we got caught up in a whirlwind of chaos. As we ended our walk and made it back to the pack house I rested my head on Jared’s bicep.

Jared’s POVMy phone on the night stand began to buzz constantly. It pulled me out of my slumber. I fumbled for it my fingers finally making contact I looked at the screen squinting. They were messages from the main surrounding clans. They agreed to meet. Some even disclosed they had seen weird beings in red robes lurking about their territories, eyeing their pure members. Even sightings of Diego were being sent. I closed my eyes and exhaled then I peered over at Storm she was still fast asleep I gently stroked her hair for a moment. Then ventured out of bed as I heard the boys starting to coo as they were awake and screaming “dada” over and over in unison. Storm began to stir. She rolled over sleepy. “Where are you going?” She whispered. I smiled at her. “The boys.”She listened for a minute and shook her head at their dada mantra. “I’ll be there in just a second.”“Take your time.” I said and went to each of their rooms getting them out of their cribs. They began to crawl around,

Jared’s POVI had put out SOS invites to all the nearby packs hoping they would respond with urgency. I asked them to meet in two days time we would be set up in the clearing. I kept raking my hands through my hair slamming my hands on the table. I could feel the hurt and anguish pouring in from Storm. She wasn’t trying to hide it. A part of me was grateful. We had a strong bond but she was always holding a part of herself back. One I would never blame her for though. I was thinking of her and the boys. I just wanted them to be safe. So many plans and arrangements would have to be made. If they found out we had left our pack unprotected would they come back for the boys? I certainly needed help guarding everything I loved here and what was right in front of me. I couldn’t let anything happen to Storm, I would stay by her side. She was going to have to do the hardest thing ever, I most certainly don’t think I would have been able to do it. Hours went by I just sat in the office sorting

Storms POV I was tossing and turning. Dreams running through my head. Images ran past my eyes in a blur. It was as if I was spinning around and around but then my mind stopped and settled. It started out completely black but then a tiny flame popped up in the distance. I walked towards it. The closer I got the bigger and hotter the flame burned and the more I could see. The fire it climbed up a building. People that looked like shadows were running frantically trying to get away but the fire it engulfed them. Finally I could hear, people were screaming and crying. Trying to escape in every direction. I followed the lines of fire they all went back to one spot. Someone was standing there head to the sky and arms to their sides. The fire it flowed out of their body. I gasped. “Diego?”The figure whipped its head around and looked at me. It was Diego my poor Diego. His hair was out grown, his face scruffy his eyes devoid of the spark they once held. “I’m sorry I’m so sorry.” Was all t
