"Emillia." She said and I finished, "Thank you Emillia." She looked at me and smiled softly.
"I'm really sorry about all this, people are just fearful of Droen. I'll try my best to get you out Katlyn." Emillia said softly and before I could say anything the door opened.
A tired looking Dominic walked in and shut the door, before he spoke Emillia beat him to it, "I told her Dominic. No need to be hostile." Immediately Dominic relaxed and an actual smile came to his face.
"Thank you Em. Look Katlyn I am really sorry about my behavior... I never wanted to hurt you." He said looking down at his feet. I nodded slowly and Kaden gurgled. Dominic looked up and smiled at him. He took a cautious step toward me.
"Can I hold him?" He asked and I nodded softly and he strolled over to the bedside. He held out his hands and took him from me gently. Dominic smiled and held him to his chest.
"What's his name?" He asked staring at him with a small smile.
"Kaden." I said softly and Dominic smiled wider.
"Hey Kaden." He whispered and rocked him softly. Dominic stared at him with wonderment in his eyes and glanced at Emillia.
"You'll get them both out correct?" He asked and she sighed.
"I'll try Dom but you know I'm clueless as to when Droen will order he be removed." Her words made a growl rumble in my throat.
"Dammit Emillia get them both out I'm begging you." Dominic said with a sad voice.
"I'll try." She said and looked away. Dominic growled and handed Kaden back to me.
He leaned close to me and combed my hair back, "I love you..." he sighed and stepped away from me before looking to Emillia. I didn't know what to say.
"I'll see you soon Emillia." He said and exited the room.
"Wait." I said before he shut the door. Dominic paused.
My heart thudded in my chest. I had love for him and I couldn't deny him of knowing.
"I love you too." I said softly and he shut the door behind him and I was left with a grinning Emillia.
"You just made his entire existence... thank you." She said and I nodded.
"Do you think he could get a second chance mate?" I asked Emillia and she shrugged.
"Hopefully." Was all she said.
I looked down at Kaden and let him start to breastfeed. He was so adorable. I couldn't lose him.
I was moved back to my cell. I held onto Kaden as I walked into the dark room and they slammed the door and locked it behind me.
He whined at the darkness enveloping us and I sighed and held him closer.
"Mommy's got you." I breathed and kissed his head. He cooed and gripped some of my hair in his little hands.
*******
I growled as men I didn't recognize came into the room. They looked at me and frowned and smirked.
It'd been some time since I'd had Kaden and he was beginning to crawl around. I'd healed and was pretty much back to normal besides the fact that I was weak and tired.
I groaned as the men injected me with something before they knocked me over the head. With a snap of the fingers my hands and feet were bound by chains.
Beside me Kaden whined and his little hand grasped my arm. I shook away my grogginess and was about to pick him up when he was wrenched away from me.
For a second I was stunned, thinking he'd disappeared, but then I realized a man held him. He smiled wickedly at me and I growled softly. He gave a deep maniacal chuckle.
"You know my orders." The man growled to his companions. Rage surged through me.
Droen. His dark hair was combed back and his eyes were a pale icy blue. He almost looked like Dominic. A creepier, scarier, uglier version.
"No! Give me back my baby! Give him back!" I snarled pulling at the silver chains around my wrists and ankles. I ignored the burning and lunged for the men.
"Oh Luna that's not how this game works." Droen said holding Kaden and he chuckled. I snarled as my pup started crying and squirming in the beast's grasp.
"Say bye to mommy." Droen said in a sick twisted voice and bile rose in my throat. He made Kaden wave his hand to me. Tears blurred my vision.
"No... please don't... give him back please." My voice broke as they started toward the door all the while Kaden cried and wailed.
"That's not how this game works." The bastard chuckled and opened the door. I was temporarily blinded by the light and just as my eyes adjusted the door closed again and I was met with the dull darkness.
I heard Kaden's fading cries and then all was silent.
I was alone.
****
My throat was sore from crying and I sat in the corner of my cell whimpering. They'd taken my Kaden.
They were going to kill my baby.
"What type of a mother am I?" I cried. I let them take my baby. I should've hidden him.
Suddenly the door opened and shut. I didn't bother to look at who it was.
"Shit. Kate get up. I'm getting you out." I looked slowly over to Emillia.
"They took him." I croaked. Emillia unlocked the chains binding me.
"I know honey... I'm sorry, I only just found out that Droen had arrived." She said in a sad voice. My shoulders shook.
"It's not your fault." I said emptily and stared at the floor.
"Come on. It'll be alright." She said tugging me to my feet. I stood and whined.
"My baby..." I sobbed and Emillia sighed.
"I know... but we have to go now." She said and pulled me out of the room. She dragged me down many hallways and finally practically threw me out of the building. I blinked at the night sky.
Dominic appeared next to me and he frowned.
"Where's Kaden?" He asked and Emillia looked down.
"I was too late." She sighed and my heart wrenched.
"Fuck... fuck! Emillia get her out of here. I'm done with his treachery." Dominic growled and started back to the door.
"Dom no! You know the punishment of going against Droen!" His sister yelled and he growled.
"He killed Kaden. He killed my mate's son. He will be the one punished." Dominic hissed and his eyes glowed red. Then without a word he disappeared. Emillia gave a distressed cry.
"Come on we must go." She said and pulled me away.
"I'll try to teleport us but I've only done it once." She said and I shrugged. I didn't care. She took my hand and everything faded around us.
I felt tears build up in my eyes. How was I going to face my mate knowing I'd lost our son?
My Kaden was gone forever...
Well that's got to be about the saddest thing I've ever written.Yes Dominic was a good guy. Shocker, I know.Poor Kaden... I'm crying. How will Clayton/Convel react?***"It doesn't always work out, sometimes someone has to be put 'in check' as some would say."~ Anonymous Lexi's P. O. V.Convel prowled around the house. Literally around the house. He'd made a trail in the grass from his constant walking.My heart throbbed for him. It'd been months...The moon hung in the sky. My eyes trailed the large mass of wolves. It was fairly peaceful. I smiled as I saw Harper and her mate drinking some blood and pups watched them with shocked gaping mouths. Her mate's father sat beside them telling something to the pups that made them gasp and grimace before trotting off to play.Mike sat beside me by the fire. His arm was wrapped around my shoulders. The light of the flames danced against his red-brown hair and twinkled in his amber eyes. He was so cute. I leaned against him and he sighed
"Don't you apologize to me. I should be the one apologizing. I will spend the rest of eternity making up to you." Clayton growled and kissed her forehead."I missed you." Kate gasped and Clayton groaned hugging her tighter."I missed you too." He said and looked down at her. They leaned close to each other, about to kiss by the looks of it. I tried to look away but it was one of those times when you just couldn't break your gaze.A scream rang out and they pulled away from each other. Everyone looked around in confusion; a woman ran towards us. She pointed towards the horizon. My gaze followed her finger and I was shocked to see many lights coming towards us. Then I saw something that chilled me to the bone.A fucking tank.The humans found us. How the hell did they find us?Everyone scattered until Clayton called for everyone to go into the pack house. No one wasted time with objecting and soon everyone was packed inside.I guided them through the halls and put the children and mothe
"Kiss my ass I'm not fighting for you today." She said and suddenly others came out of the crowd all armed and stood beside us. About fifty armed soldiers now stood with us.Almost as one they drew their guns up and aimed at the army. At their people."Mutiny!" Someone said and a soldier scoffed."If that's what it takes then yeah." He said loading his gun."They're people too." Someone else said and everyone just stood in place. A few more humans came over to our side.One person rushed right at a wolf and for a second I thought they were about to fight before the soldier leapt on the wolf and yelled happily, "Percy!" The wolf whined and licked her hand."You stupid mutt. I told you not to come out here!" The soldier cried and the wolf named Percy nuzzled his snout in her neck. I watched temporarily distracted by the little couple reintroduction.Apparently human and wolf mates weren't so uncommon..."You're betraying your own species." The voice from the tank chastised."We're doing
"I understand but Katlyn needs to hear about this." Harper said from behind me and Carly shook her head. She flipped off the safety."Shut up you filthy creature or your mate there will take a bullet." Richard growled and walked over to Carly and lowered her arm."Lets just go Carly... there's too many of them, we'll come back later." He whispered urgently and Katlyn's mother just huffed and put the gun away."I'll find you. Talk and I'll find you." Carly spat before hurrying out of the place with Richard hot on her heels. It wasn't long before there was the roaring of an engine and Harper and I looked at each other."That was..." she said and I nodded."A lot? Yeah." I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck."How are we going to tell her?... she's both Hunter and wolf... that's bad right?" Harper said and I managed a nod."She hasn't shown any signs though. She's been like any other Luna, plus she's a Pure White... that's gotta mean something, right?" I said and Harper nodded."Maybe
"Clayton!" I wailed and screamed his name over and over as tears poured out of my eyes. This couldn't be happening. I can't loose him too."No..." I sobbed and hugged his lifeless body.I pulled away as a hand laid on my shoulder. I looked over to see Eli and Alex. They knelt beside me and hugged me as I cried for my mate. I looked over and saw Lexi sobbing against Michael and Dalton and Drew watched with sad eyes."It'll be-" Alex began but I pushed them away."Don't you dare say it'll be okay! Don't you dare! It's not okay! Clayton's dead!" I screamed and glared at the human army."Leave dammit! This war is over! If you don't leave now I sweat by everything holy I'll kill you!" I snarled and the army faltered. Some held sympathetic looks and some nodded but others frowned."Now hold on a second. You don't tell us what to do you-" General Hawkins started and I snarled and shifted. In the blink of an eye I lunged at him and tackled him to the ground. His screams fell on deaf ears as I
I let out a chocking sound and flung myself on him."It's okay." Clayton cooed and kissed my forehead."You died." I shuddered as I said it."I know." He sighed and pulled me closer."They left." I chocked out."I was right beside you the whole time. I know." Clayton said and ran his fingers through my hair. I sighed and laid my head against his chest."You couldn't see or hear me but I was there." Clay said and rubbed his hands down my back.I sobbed softly and clutched his shoulders as I cried joyfully into his chest."I thought I lost you." I pulled away from him and searched around for my heroine's white hair. My eyes momentarily rested on Percy and Anna and I smiled as I watched the soldier hugging her mate while Percy chuckled and ran his fingers through her hair."Alex! Thank you!" I yelled and everyone else joined in on the praise. The Moon Goddess smiled brightly and dipped her head."'Twas an honor." She said in a humble sweet voice and I smiled before kissing Clayton softly
"Kaden's right there." I said and Clayton smirked."He's asleep; besides he won't remember if he wakes up and... wait I've got a better idea." Clay growls softly and in moments there's a soft knock at our door."Come in." Clay said and the door opened to reveal Lexi. Her eyes gleamed with amusement and she raised an eyebrow."Yes?" She asked and Clayton pointed to the bed."You feel like watching Kade tonight? Katy is afraid we'll scar him." I smacked him softly at his words and he smirked."Kinky." He growled softly and I hit him harder earning a grunt of pain."You're gonna regret that Mrs. Ravenwolf." Clayton said in a husky voice that made my toes curl."Gross guys. At least let me get out of the room. Kaden's not the only one being scarred." Lexi said making a face. I scoffed."Says the girl who was trying to mate in the living room." I shot back and Lexi's face blushed and she immediately shut her mouth in embarrassment. Clayton snickered softly.I'd walked in on Mike and Lexi,
I hope not Fire... I hope. I responded and cried as Manik smashed the wolfsbane up and began plastering the mushy wet remains against my bleeding wounds.Firestorm and I howled in pain at the poison slipping into us. My back arched and I shook against the locks. I kicked the best that I could. I screamed. But nothing worked. The pain was too much.Manik was muttering something as she put the remaining wolfsbane in my mouth. I grimaced and tried to spit it out. Before I could her hand clamped over my mouth and I jerked as I tried to get it out somehow."Swallow." She ordered and I glared at her. But she was winning. The vile plant mush was slowly going to the back of my throat. I'd swallow it sooner or later. Then after a few moments of struggling I involuntarily swallowed it and groaned in pain and self frustration.The pain intensified and I cried in agony."It's okay." My father said petting my head and I gave him a deadly glare."It's not!" I wanted to scream but I still couldn't.
