"Then stop him!" Brooke yelled.
"Really?" Kal whined. "I can bet if I get involved Harry will punch me. I don't want to get punched."
"Kal," Indianna said and rolled her eyes. "Break them up."
Kal huffed and stepped forward. He placed his hand on Harry's arm and cried out when Harry span round and punched Kal square on the mouth.
"Jesus, I told you!" Kal groaned and Harry swore, realising what he had done.
"Shit," Harry said. "What's your problem, you idiot!"
"Apparently we're not allowed to kill Brandon," Kal said and wiped his bloody lip. "Although that's news to me."
"Brooklyn!" Harry snapped and gently grabbed Brooke and pulled her back when she went to check on Brandon. Even after what he had done, she didn't want to see him badly injured.
"Brooke," Brandon muttered and winced when he pulled himself up from where he had been knocked to the ground. "I just want to talk."
"Just because I don't want you dead or badly hurt doesn't mean I want to talk," Brooke said, her eyes scanning Brandon's injuries. He was bruised but fine. "Are you okay?"
Brandon nodded. "Fine," he said and cracked his jaw.
"Then leave," Brooke said sharply.
"I-"
"Leave," Harry growled.
"I just want to talk to you-"
"Brooke doesn't want to talk to you, Brandon," Indianna called. "Now please get the hell away from my house."
"Brooke, I just want a few minutes-"
"You heard Indie," Brooke said and took a step backwards. "Leave."
"No."
"That's fine, I don't mind making you," Harry said and stepped forward.
"Harry," Indianna warned. "Brandon, go now while you can."
"No."
"Right-"
"Harry!" Brooke shouted and grabbed Harry, pulling him back. "Don't. Brandon, if I talk to you do you promise to leave after?"
"Yes."
"Fine," Brooke sighed. "I'll talk to you."
"No-"
"Yes," Brooke cut Harry off. "We will stay out here and you will go inside."
"I'll be watching from the window," Indianna warned Brandon. "If you do one thing out of line I won't stop whatever Harry does to you."
Brandon swallowed. "Okay."
"Harry, lets go inside," Indianna said softly.
"Fuck no."
"Harry, come on-"
"Fuck off-"
"Harry!" Brooke gasped.
"You can swear at me all you want, but I am your Luna and you're going to listen to me," Indianna said firmly and Brooke turned and raised an eyebrow. She had never heard Indianna sound so sure of herself. "Go inside, Harry."
Indianna was always stuck between two emotions. Loss and power. Sometimes she broke down from loss, and sometimes she got stronger through the power she had.
She had yet to balance both.
"I'll be fine," Brooke whispered and quickly kissed Harry before pushing him in the direction of the house.
Harry narrowed his eyes at his mate and Luna before walking inside.
"Five minutes," Indianna told Brandon and smiled at Brooke before following Harry inside. She went into the lounge and stood by the window, watching but not listening to Brooke and Brandon's conversation.
Indianna daydreamed as she watched Brooke. Her hands went to her stomach and she gently rubbed her small bump. She thought of Greyson and then her baby. Their baby. She couldn't wait to tell her baby all about their dad.
"He would've never let you out of his sight," she whispered. "His baby girl." Indianna had a hunch. It was just a feeling. But she knew. She knew she was going to have a little girl. "How am I going to keep all the guys away from you without a scary dad to frighten them all, eh?"
Indianna watched Brooke as she rolled her eyes and Brandon and turned away, heading towards the house.
"Let's go and talk to auntie Brooke," Indianna said softly and she gasped when she felt a dull thump. "A kick."
"Indie-" Brooke walked into the lounge and paused when she noticed Indianna's expression. "What's wrong? Are you okay? You-"
"A kick," Indianna repeated and jumped when she felt another thump. "She kicked."
"She kicked?" Brooke gasped.
"She kicked!" Indianna smiled.
"Oh my god she kicked!" Brooke grinned and rushed over to Indianna and placed her hand on her stomach. "She kicked!" Brooke squealed. "Indie, that's fantastic!"
"She's okay," Indianna sighed and rested her head on Brooke's shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"I'm always okay," Brooke said and wrapped her arms around her best friend.
"Don't lie to me," Indianna mumbled.
"I told Brandon where to stick it," Brooke whispered. "But he did say he was going to try and stop Rogue from retaliating badly."
Indianna nodded. "Do you want to talk?"
"No, but I do want to eat chocolate and watch some movies," Brooke said. "Can we do that?"
"Definitely, but don't you want to talk to Harry first-"
"He can wait," Brooke said dismissively. "I want to spend some girly time with my best friend. I want to forget about our lives for a short amount of time."
"I wish we could forget for longer."

Please stop saying how you're going to stop reading this book. I get that you're pissed Greyson is dead, but you can be pissed without being a right dickhead about it in the comments.Thanks*"I heard she kicked?" Kimberly called, walking into Harry's room where Indianna and Brooke were bundled under the covers of his bed, watching a cheesy girly film."She did," Indianna nodded and stopped the film.Kimberly glanced at Brooke who was munching on some popcorn, Brooke always ate when she was stressed or worried. Kimberly was jealous of Brooke. She was jealous of Brooke's relationship with Indianna. The girls were best friends, they had been through so much together.Kimberly hated how bubbly Brooke was. She was always happy, everyone seemed to love her."Is everything okay, Kim?" Indianna asked, noticing Kimberly's silence."How do you do it?" Kimberly asked, looking at Brooke."Excuse me?" said Brooke."How do you do it?" Kimberly repeated. "You're never down, you're always happy! Yo
Indianna parked outside Rogue's house and sat staring for a few minutes.What was he going to do?Was he going to be mad?"Of course he's going to be mad," Indianna grumbled and took a deep breath. "You're a Luna, Indie, you can face him.""Knock knock!"Indianna jumped in fright when a hand knocked on her window and she looked up and saw Rogue. "Don't look so frightened, little sister, I'm not going to hurt you," Rogue called and opened Indianna's door. "You're still hurting from his death so that will do for now."Indianna narrowed her eyes at Rogue who smiled and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the car. "What do you want?" Indianna said through gritted teeth."I just want a chat with my sister," Rogue said simply and wrapped his arm round Indianna's shoulder. "Her pack has been naughty and I'm not very happy.""You kidnapped a pack member," Indianna said. "All we did was get her back.""You attacked my men, attacked me," Rogue snapped. "I'm not pleased.""Your men attacked me,"
The plan was simple.Do everything Rogue wanted.Don't fight him.Follow his every word."We will be able to take him down," Indianna said to the whole pack the next morning. It was the first time she was speaking to them as a whole. The last time she stood in front of her pack Greyson was by her side. "It's not going to happen instantaneously, we need to be patience. We'll get through this."Indianna stopped talking and the whole pack slowly bowed their heads. Indianna shifted awkwardly on her feet and nodded."That's all," she said and soon the pack were making their way out of the room.The usual group remained in the large room that was used when the whole pack gathered."You mentioned something about Rogue wanting us to do something him," Oscar said. "Do you know what?""He wants us to take control of a pack to the east," Indianna sighed. "I don't know the specifics, and I don't know when he wants us to do it. All I know is that one of our pack members used to belong to that pack
"Ouch," Ace hissed."Stay still," Tai snapped and dabbed at Ace's cuts with a damp tissue. They were in the boys toilets and Ace was leaning against the sink with a pile of bloody tissues next to him. Tai sighed from where she was standing next to Ace and wiped away more blood. "I thought we healed quickly. You're not.""I'm still recovering from the coma. My healing isn't great," Ace sighed."Then you shouldn't get into fights," Tai muttered."I don't," Ace said. "This was an exception.""Why?"Ace looked down at Tai. "It just was," he said dismissively."I don't need you fighting for me," Tai huffed. "I can damn well handle myself.""Doesn't mean that you should," Ace said and Tai's eyes flickered to his."What is this?" Tai asked suddenly and stepped back, throwing the red tissue onto the side. Tai narrowed her eyes at Ace and crossed her arms over her chest. "What is this?""What?" Ace asked."This!" Tai sighed and gestured between her and Ace. "This is something and I don't know
Brooke had Indianna's hand, she squeezed it tightly. Indianna turned to her curly haired friend and smiled. "I don't know why I'm so nervous," Indianna admitted.Brooke looked around the hospital waiting room. White floors, white ceilings and uncomfortable blue chairs. The light above them was flickering on and off. Brooke had always hated hospitals."I'd be surprised if you weren't nervous," Brooke said."Thank you for being here," Indianna said."What are best friends for," Brooke smiled. "Your bump's growing.""People are going to find out soon," Indianna whispered. "I don't want to be the pregnant girl with the dead boyfriend.""Screw what everyone else thinks," Brooke said. "Everyone that matters already knows the truth."Indianna nodded. "You're right."The girls sat in a comfortable silence for while, until Brooke sighed and looked at Indianna. "Can I ask a question?""Of course.""Did you..." Brooke gulped. "Did you ever think about not keeping it?"Indianna looked at her stom
"And Harry still blames me," Sasha said. "Moody bastard."Brooke chuckled. "Sorry," she said.Sasha rolled her eyes. "I'm going to order some food," she said and stood up from the booth."Brooke, I need to tell Rogue," Indianna said suddenly. "I don't want a repeat of what happened after I hid the pregnancy."Brooke sighed. "I don't want a repeat of that either," she said. "Tell Stacy, tell her to tell Rogue. She would appreciate you telling her and that will look good to Rogue."Indianna nodded and got out her phone. "I'll call her." Indianna dialled Stacey's number and after a few moments she picked up."Indie, babe, hi!" Stacy said. "What's up, b?""Stacy, I need to tell you something," Indianna said. "About the baby.""Is everything okay?" Stacy gasped."Everything's fine. Great, actually," Indianna said and rubbed her stomach. "I went to the hospital today. I found out the gender.""Oh, how exciting!" Stacy squealed. Opposite Indianna, Brooke cringed, hearing Stacy over the phone
"Fireworks?"Raiden blushed. "Yeah, like... sparks.""Shit," Tai breathed."Oh, he's here," Raiden said and sent Tai a look. "Please be nice.""No promises," Tai said and watched as Brandon walked towards them.Brandon smiled at Raiden, but his eyes landed on Brooke. "I'll be two minutes, I'm just going to talk to Brooke."Brooke stiffened when she noticed Brandon headed her way and she groaned. "Freaking great," she muttered. "Brandon, I don't want to talk to you-""I just want to see how you are-""Fantastic, now leave me alone!""Brooke, my parents miss you at home-""Don't bring them up!" Brooke snapped. "Don't try and guilt trip me!""Please just listen to me. Harry's got into your head, he can't be trusted, he's full of shit!""Oh, that's rich, coming from you!" Brooke gasped. "Why can't you get it into your head, I don't want to see you!""We're family!""The hell we are!" Brooke hissed. "What you did was unforgivable!""Brandon, it's time for you to leave," Indianna said firml
"We should get going soon," Brooke said, after checking her phone. She had a text from Harry, telling her to unblock her mind.She ignored it."Yeah," Sasha nodded."Where are you guys going?""Brooke needs to go somewhere out of town," Sasha said. "I said I'd drive her."Indianna raised her eyebrows. "Out of town?"Brooke smiled. "Yep, we better get going-" Brooke swore when her phone rang and she sighed, answering it. "Yes, Harry?""Where are you?""Still in town.""Unblock your mind, Brooklyn. You're not going until I can get in touch with you easily. I need to know I can make sure you're safe.""Sorry, but I can't do that.""You lied," Harry snapped."You should've guessed that, Harry," Brooke said."My cars just parked round the back of the diner," Sasha was telling Indianna."You're still at the diner?" Harry said, overhearing Sasha. "Stay where you are, babe.""Sorry, gotta go!" Brooke said quickly."Don't you fucking-"Brooke hung up and avoided eye contact with Indianna. "I'v
Indianna forced a smile. "I would never."Greyson chuckled. "Are you not eating any more, sugar?"Indianna stared down at the food on her plate, feeling full. She had taken a lot more food than she could manage to consume. She shook her head.Greyson turned to his sister. "Has she actually eaten a decent breakfast?""Greyson, I've eaten!" Indianna argued.Kirstie rolled her eyes. "Trust your mate, you dick. She ate enough for a whole family.""Great. In that case." Greyson took Indianna's plate from her and sat down between the two girls, tucking into the remains of Indianna's breakfast."We better get organised," Mac said, running his hand along Kirstie's thigh. "We gotta a lot of men to get today.""No rest for the wicked," Kirstie sighed and jumped up from the floor. "Let's go tear down Rogue's empire, lover."Mac chuckled and let Kirstie pull him up from the floor. "Let's do this.""You know," Oscar said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stood up with Kirstie and Max , "you'd think th
DAY ONEIndianna was woken by Kal's snores, they were soft, but she had been struggling to sleep the whole night and now all she could focus on was Kal's heavy breathing. She sighed and turned over, trying to get comfortable which was rather hard with her bump. She was now looking at Greyson as he slept. He seemed so peaceful. His face was so calm and serene, she wished that he didn't have to wake up to the hell they were in.Greyson's eye twitched and Indianna knew that he was no longer asleep. He reached out, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest, resting his chin on her head and one hand on her stomach. *It's early, sugar, you should be asleep, not perving on me while I sleep.*Indianna chuckled slightly. *Sleep doesn't come easily these days.**Try,* Greyson pleaded. *It's 2am. You need your rest.**So do you.**I'm fine. I'm swapping watch duty with Oscar soon anyway.*The rest of the previous day was spent waiting anxiously for Oscar, Kirstie and Mac to ret
"Please don't call yourself that," Indianna said."It's true. I can't be trusted-""Would a monster feel remorse?" Indianna asked, cutting Tai off. "Do you think Rogue feels remorse over his actions?""That is different-""You are not a monster, Tai," Indianna insisted. "You didn't do what you did on purpose. As you said, you lost control. What happened has happened, it can't be taken back. The only thing we can do now is focus on the present. Tai, will you help us now?"It was a few moments before Tai acknowledged that Indianna had spoken. She pursed her lips and gave one sharp nod. "I need to wash this blood off of me," she said and turned on her heel and disappeared into Indianna's room.Indianna made her way to Greyson's room next. The scent of him surrounded her when she entered and she closed her eyes, caressing her bump. She didn't want to go without him. Indianna swallowed the lump in her throat and changed out of the clothes she had been wearing for dinner. Once she was in sw
"If I'd have known that talking to Brooklyn would change your mind then I would have suggested you do that as soon as you started to disagree with me."Indianna scowled at Greyson who smirked at her as she approached him. "Shut up."Greyson reached out and took Indianna's hand, pulling her towards him. "Thank you," he murmured."I'm still annoyed," Indianna grumbled and looked down at her feet, glaring."Hey." Greyson took Indianna's chin and tilted her head up. "Please don't be. You're keeping yourself and our children safe. That's the most important thing. Don't scowl at me, sugar.""You're important."Greyson smiled and kissed Indianna's forehead affectionately. "God, I love you, woman."Karl suddenly yelled from across the room. "They're here! Fucking hell, you took your time, lads! It's not like we're waiting for a psychopath to come and kill us or anything!""You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you?" Harry groaned, but made his way over to where Kal was now standing, over t
"Just me," Greyson croaked. "You know it's the smart thing to do. There's no point in slaughtering a whole pack.""You think I care about how many people I have control over? Do you think I care about that when my mate is lying dead in my arms!" Rogue roared. He threw Greyson to the side, kicking him onto the floor. "You will all die! I will kill you all for what you have done. None of you will live to see next week." Rogue looked down at Stacey and brushed her hair away from his face, smiling down at her. "Everything I will do to this pack will be for you, my love," he whispered. "I promise, I will make them suffer." He then walked towards the woods, not looking back at the pack. "If any of them try to leave, break their legs! I want them alive, for now!" Was the last thing Rogue said to his men before he disappeared. The rest of his men remained, but they retreated into the trees, out of sight, still there, but watching.The silence that followed next was deafening. No one said a wo
Nothing she could possibly say would help."Your pack killed my mate. SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU. OF YOUR PACK! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!" His yells echoed in the woods surrounding them. "You..." He whispered. "You are going to pay."Indianna was too stunned to speak. She was vaguely aware of Greyson putting himself between her and Rogue, but that didn't stop Indianna from staring at her brother who looked ferocious.His eyes were dark, teeth bared, face red and he was spitting blood when he spoke. "You, little sister, are going to suffer. Your pathetic mate can't protect you. Your pack. No one. You are no different from our parents. I thought I could change you. Make you into a version of yourself that I could be proud of. Oh, how I was wrong.""J-Jason," Indianna stuttered, her words barely audible. "I didn't want this to happen-""I don't want your fake pity!" He roared and Indianna flinched. "I don't want lies! I want revenge!"*Sugar, you know I will die before I let him get to you.*H
Another chapter so soon? That's very unlike me.I am really enjoying writing again. I feel like I had such a long phase where I wasn't happy with ANYTHING I was writing and I never had the motivation to sit down and try and write anything, however.... That stage is gone, baby.I'm back, and hopefully, I can continue giving you guys the updates that you have so very patiently waited for!I appreciate every single one of you that still reads this, even though it's been nearly 5 years since I started this sequel... (I feel awful that I've made people wait that long and this isn't even finished)But anywayyyyy, enjoy the update, and I hope there will be another one very soon!*For a moment, Indianna thought Tai had attacked her. She was lying on the floor, her head ringing and vision slightly blurred. All she could smell was the metallic scent of blood and she panicked, her hands going to her stomach, feeling herself rapidly for any injuries.Her hands remained dry, but she didn't relax,
"Why?" Rogue taunted. "Can you feel yourself losing control?""Please, please stop," Ace pleaded with Rogue."But don't you want to hear about how she killed her father?""She did not!" Raiden cried, looking the most alive that he had in days. Tai's eyes filled with tears, but she wasn't upset. She was furious. Indianna noticed a shift in her and she glanced at Greyson worriedly."This girl seems to kill anyone she is close with," Rogue said. "I don't want somebody as dangerous as her around my sister or my niece and nephew, especially since she's hidden the truth from the majority of you. It makes you think, is she hiding any more dirty little secrets?"Tai shot up from her seat, seething with rage."Look at her, she is a dangerous little thing, isn't she?""Why are you doing this?" Ace cried. "You're purposely infuriating her!""She needs to leave," Raiden called, standing up and looking at his sister in concern. "You need to get her out of here.""Ace!" Greyson commanded. "You hear
"Tai," Ace whispered, tugging at Tai's arm. "Stop, please.""It's fine. I like that she's got flare. It's interesting," Rogue smiled. "It's not surprising that she's got a few anger issues. She must have so much built up guilt after everything she's done over the years."Tai gripped her knife and fork tightly, her breathing rate starting to increase. "Stop it."Rogue shrugged his shoulders innocently. "I'm just trying to figure out exactly who you are. I know everything about everyone in this pack, it's only fair I know everything about you too. Especially when you're a killer."Tai's knife and fork clattered onto the table. Everyone turned to stare at her in shock, minus Ace, Raiden, Brandon and Rogue."You brought me to dinner with a girl that has killed someone!" Stacey gasped. "Jason-""Sh, my sweet." Jason turned to Stacey, brushing her hair behind her ear. He smiled at her and it was the only genuine smile that Indianna had seen all evening. "I wouldn't let anyone hurt you."Sta
