"I'm not finished," Rogue said sharply. "Sister, sweetheart, keep your mate quiet unless he wants to be bound and tortured again."

Indianna's heart broke, looking between Brooklyn and Harry, and then Greyson. They all had the same look in their eye. Part of all of their souls had been broken by Rogue, and no matter how much they tried to hide the side of them that had been destroyed by him, in this moment, it was all Indianna could see.

In her heard she heard Brooklyn's screams, her cries and shouts that filled the pack house when she had her nightmares. She saw Harry's impulsiveness, his selfishness when it came to Brooklyn, his carelessness for anyone else but her. It was all because of Rogue and the heinous acts he had committed towards Brooklyn. Harry hadn't been able to prevent them, so he gave Brooklyn his all. His thoughts, his anger, his concerns, his sadness, his care, and his love.

She saw Greyson. She saw how he had changed since he had come back. Rogue hadn't killed Greyson, but he had killed apart of him. She saw his scars that covered his now flawed skin, and how he hadn't elaborated much on the torture he endured at the hands of Rogue. She saw how hard he had been working, planning to take down Rogue, and Indianna couldn't help but wonder, if they managed to defeat Rogue, what life would he be like once they were free.

She struggled to see true happiness in any of their futures. Everyone was going to be tainted forever because of Rogue.

"You..." Brooklyn's voice cracked and she forced herself to look Rogue in the eye. "Are you insinuating-"

Rogue smiled sadistically. "What? What am I insinuating, Brooklyn? That the child could be mine?"

Brooklyn's chair scraped back on the floor, screeching loudly, making Indianna cringe. Brooklyn clutched her stomach and stumbled backwards, looking like she was going to throw up.

Indianna felt Greyson rise ever so slightly in his seat, watching Harry cautiously, preparing for him to lunge any second now. She then turned to Stacey who was watching Rogue, a love struck look covering her features Indianna was appalled. She didn't understand how Stacey could look at Rogue with so much admiration after what he had just said.

"Oh, Brooklyn, don't be so dramatic and sit back down," Rogue scolded. "We both know that if it were true then I would not allow you to be in this house, at his side."

"You little-"

"Harry! Leave now," Indianna ordered, cutting Harry off. "And take Brooke with you."

"Stay where you are," Rogue ordered.

"You don't want to push this Jason," Indianna said and looking at Rogue pleadingly. She mentally was begging him, praying that he would let them go or she knew that things were going to get messy. "I am the Luna of this pack and I'm telling you that they are going to leave this room before Harry doesn't something he is going to regret."

"Let them go," Stacey spoke up, placing her hand on Rogue's arm. She rolled her eyes. "Brooke is so dramatic, let them leave. It'll be a nicer atmosphere without them.

Brooklyn just stared, her eyes were empty. She looked so broken. Harry stood before Rogue said anything and Greyson relaxed back into his seat when Harry grabbed Brooklyn, pulling her away from the table and out of the room. He didn't look at anyone except her. Brooklyn stumbled as she let Harry take her away, her legs feeling numb and not moving as fast as Harry was pulling her from the room. Once they were safely away Greyson sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, turning to face Indianna, looking utterly drained.

*We can do this, Grey.*

Greyson closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing deeply. Indianna took his hand and brought it to her lips, placing a gentle kiss on his fingers.

*At lease Harry didn't explode.* Greyson opened his eyes, staring at Indianna.

*That could have gone a lot worse,* Indianna agreed and the two them moved their attention back to the group. Rogue had turned his questioning to Tai.

"How are enjoying my town, Tai? Do your brother and you like it?" Rogue asked.

"No."

*This fucking girl,* Greyson growled and sent a glare to Ace, who only shrugged his shoulders, helpless.

Rogue smirked and chuckled lowly. "Really? I'm surprised. You and your brother have come from the foster system and you've managed to find a pack that have accepted you and you've both found your mates and you're telling me you don't like it here? It sounds an awful lot better than your past."

Tai's dark eyebrows furrowed and she shifted uncomfortably, eyes flickering to Raiden and Brandon who were listening intently. "What the hell have you told him?" She directed her question towards Brandon who's eyes widened innocently.

"N-nothing!" Brandon stuttered. He was in a very conflicting position, surrounded by a pack that hated him, a mate that was ashamed and disappointed in him, a someone who he used to call a friend and a mentor, but now he only feared him and his power. Brandon had distanced himself from Rogue, and Rogue had noticed.

"He is telling the truth. Brandon does not tell me much anymore. I believe I have you to thank for that." Rogue pointed at Raiden. "He didn't tell me a word about you. I had to figure out all I know about you and your sister all on my own."

Raiden didn't say a word. Brandon placed at around Raiden's shoulder, who stiffened, but didn't push Brandon away. "You have to trust me, Rai," Brandon whispered into Raiden's ear.

Tai, who was watching them with narrowed eyes scoffed and shook her head. She then turned to Rogue, eyes still thin slits. "What do you know about us?"

"Does your new mate know?" Rogue wondered, wiggling his fingers at Ace. "You've got quite the dark past, young lady. I'm surprised you didn't shock him back into another coma."

Indianna wasn't expecting the sudden touch of Greyson, gripping her waist and pulling her closer to him so their bodies were touching. He pressed his lips against the back of Indianna's head, his breathing coming out through gritted teeth.

*Stay in control,* Indianna said soothingly.

"How do you know about us? It's none of your damn business."

"Watch your tone when you speak to him!" Stacey spoke, her tone sharp. "It most certainly is his business, this is his town and he doesn't know who you are."

"I'd very much like it to stay that way," Tai argued.

    "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

    "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

    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,

    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

    "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

    "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?"

    "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.

    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.

    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
