November 27th
A week later and Leo and I hadn't had another argument. We listened to each other, refrained from shouting and stopped the snide comments and the pointless disagreements.
And it was all traced back to the forest escapade.
Before, our personalities had been incompatible, constantly clashing as we battled one ano
November 27thInitially, I only saw Luca hugging Allison as she wept into his shoulder. Then my eyes cast down to Amber lying lifelessly on the floor. I brought my hand to my mouth in shock as Leo held my other tighter."Her heart isn't beating, is it?" I asked Leo, my eyes welling up with tears."Where's Blair?" Leo questio
November 27thLater in the day, Leo took me to his parent's house so he could go to straighten things out with Blair, who still stricken with grief was struggling to understand why what happened happened and why he knew nothing about it. Blair was loyal to his Alpha but Leo still had a lot of explaining and admitting his mistakes to do."I need to speak to you in Dad's office, Mateo," Leo said to his eldest brother, the only one in the house when we arrived.
He put on the shorts so he wasn't so naked before I followed him out into the hall and down the stairs before waiting at the bottom of the stairs for him to answer the door."Leo..." a sobbing Lia whispered. "I have to tell you something...""What?" Leo asked.She mumbled for a few seconds before bursting into more tears.
November 28thThe next morning I awoke with the bed to myself. It was only 7 am but I ventured down to Leo's office in search of my mate."Hey," I said softly.He had been sat leant back on the swivel chair staring into space until he saw me and a smile crept onto his lips.
December 2ndFour days later Haden and Lia had spent three nights in their new home with no trouble. She said he was frustrated by the situation and constant surveillance and continually in a bad mood but she was optimistic everything was going to be alright.Amber's funeral had happened on the last day of November which was the first time either Leo or I had seen Blair since she died. He could hardly look at his Alpha and Leo left before the wake, feeling like he was only making the day
December 2nd"Luca!" I called as we entered the back yard, where the party had spilt out.Luca turned around from where he was picking the sprinkles off a chocolate doughnut on the food table. As he saw me, he smiled widely and bounded over."Am I allowed to talk to my best friend, Alpha, or...?" he asked.
December 2ndAs I searched all the guests for Rosa, I spotted two people I wasn't expecting to see anytime soon. Stood in the corner, his eyes tired and his face paled and sat was Blair. He had Abi on his arm, holding his hand tightly and resting her head on his shoulder but he hardly spoke to her as she tried to comfort him. All he could do was stand quietly, looking overwhelmed by it all."Hey," I said softly as I approached them.
December 2nd"Leonardo, did you find yourbrothers?" Rosa asked the second we came back into the house."Yes," he replied shortly."Where are they?"
