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?

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 and played with my hair.
The humans had contacted us a bit. Subtle war threats but right now that wasn't part of our main worry.
If we didn't get my brother under control it would be severely detrimental to all forms of life.
"Do you think we'll find her?" I said as I glanced at my brother whom still walked around the pack house.
"Katlyn will come back." He said sounding so confident in his statement.
"How do you know?" I asked him and he looked into the fire.
"You know that feeling you get when your mom knows you did something and your just waiting for her to bash you about it? Well I get that feeling around Kate, probably because she was always acting like a mom around me, and I'm getting it now." He said and suddenly he stood. His eyes looked around and he started making his through the masses of people. I trailed him as he left the group and stared out at the grassy field. His eyes squinted in concentration.
He suddenly took in a sharp breath and a frown appeared on his face, "No." He said softly and started to walk off.
"No fucking way." Mike said and his pace picked up. I looked around in confusion not knowing what he was talking about or doing.
"Katlyn." He sighed and I looked around in shock. Mike grabbed my hand and started pulling me along.
I looked and saw something move in the distance. My heart lurched. Behind me I heard Convel roar in pain and the figure ahead of us fell. Mike swore under his breath and began running, dropping my hand.
As we neared the figure stood and I almost cried with joy. Katlyn.
She looked exhausted and her eyes were dull. Her hair was a mess, her teeth a little yellowed, her clothes-well whatever clothes she wore- hung from her body. Her feet were bare and covered in dirt and grime. Her stomach was flat and her chest heaved.
Her stomach was flat.
"Katlyn... the baby?" I asked and tears instantly cascaded down her face.
"The lion kills the offspring to show who is in charge..." she said softly in a broken voice. I glanced at Mike and he frowned.
"What?" He asked. Katlyn looked at him.
"He killed my baby... I just felt it... he killed my Kaden..." Kate sobbed and sank to her knees. Anger flowed through me and Mike cursed loudly before linking his hands behind his head.
"Who?" Mike asked with rage in his voice, "Who killed him?"
"Droen... leader of the vampires." Katlyn gasped.
"That's enough Mike let's take her home." I said and Mike nodded and scooped Katlyn up in his arms.
We carried her back to the crowd and immediately everyone quieted. They all stared and Dalton came running up.
"Kate." He sighed. His hand brushed her hair softly.
"Put me down Mike." Katlyn growled and I looked at her in shock at her sudden change of behavior. My mate put her down and she straightened up and combed back her hair. She suddenly looked stronger and not like a woman who'd been missing for months.
"Where is he?" She growled. Her eyes had a glint in them that unnerved me. She looked... angry.
"Where is the Blood Wolf?" She spat and I tensed. She knew...
Everyone hushed and looked around.
"Katlyn?" A voice said and I looked to see Convel standing some ways away staring at his mate with many emotions playing on his face.
Kate looked at him and growled. My brother looked confused.
"I don't know which one of you I'm talking to but I don't care. Clayton-Convel, this is all your fault. They took me because of you! And why the hell didn't anyone tell me about your goddam killing sprees, especially you! I could've been prepared..." she shook violently and Convel took a step toward her.
"Stay away from me! Our son is dead because of you!" Katlyn snarled and bared her fangs at my brother.
"What?" Convel said looking torn. Katlyn gave a bitter laugh.
"They killed Kaden to get a rise out of you! They wanted you to be this monster and you sure as hell didn't disappoint." She growled sneering at him.
Clouds started to roll in and lightning danced in the darkness. Wind blew harshly and the bonfire started to dim.
"The Blood Wolf couldn't control his temper and looks where it's got us!" She spat and tears rolled down her eyes. Her hair whipped around her face. Her eyes glowed.
Suddenly rain started pelting down and Katlyn let out a mournful wail. Convel fell to the ground and was drenched by the rain. His hair clung to his forehead and clothes plastered to his body. He linked his clawed fingers behind his head and bowed low go the ground. He gave a sharp shudder and looked up. I blinked the water form my eyes. I took in his appearance and golden-red eyes.
Clayton was back.
My brother jumped to his feet and crept up to his wailing mate. Everyone watched through the rain too engrossed in the scene to look away.
He paused in front of her. His hands reached out and gripped her shoulders. Katlyn's wail stopped and she opened her eyes. Their eyes met and then they were both sobbing.
Katlyn flung herself at Clayton and they held onto each other like a lifeline. Which in a way they were each other's lifelines. They needed each other now more than ever.
"I'm sorry." Katlyn said and Clayton pulled away a little.
"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.
"Watch." My parents said and I looked at the bodies and was shocked to see the burning flesh and bone rearranging back into a wolf. Soon two wolves were turning to ash."Weird isn't it?" My father said and I nodded. Disgustingly weird."So are they actual wolves?" I asked and my parents looked at each other."I think they started as wolves but learned how to walk and act like humans? I'm not sure, only they know and well we don't socialize to find out." My mother said and the conversation was dropped.****It'd been a few months and Dad was helping me with a partner takedown.About twenty dummies, wolf and human were placed in front of us.I looked over at my father and watched with satisfaction as he picked up an axe. He played with the tool in his hands some before giving me a soft smile. I returned the smile and gave him a nod that I was ready.Not even a second after I gave the signal he hurled the axe and let it loose. The axe flew through the air with such force it sliced throug
