—Lena— My father and I just stay there in each others arms for I don't know how long just letting the emotions wash over us but then finally I let go and then I seat by his side. “So there's been something I've been meaning to ask you, something the private investigator couldn't find. What happened to your baby, my grandchild?” He asked me. “She died, I lost her.” I told him and I could see it in his eyes as his heart broke. “Oh Lena, I'm so sorry. I had a feeling something bad happened but I didn't want to believe it. Something told me the baby was still alive but I guess that was just wishful thinking on my part.” He tells me. I look at him and wonder if he could actually sense Luna or if he was just talking. “So what happened?” He asked me. “It was the rejection, it was too much for me to bear and so it put me in pressure term labour, I started bleeding and there were no cars on the road because it was raining so heavy but luckily we found a car but by the time we g
—Killian— I've been pacing up and down and doing my best not to listen in on their conversation, trying to respect their privacy. “You know that your people haven't seen you in almost eight years and you're giving them a show by pacing up and down. Stop worrying she's going to be fine.” Lachlan tells me, he's currently learning against the car, I look around and I see that he's right neighbours have come out of their houses and they're all staring at me, their long lost Alpha, finally back and in the flesh. I wave at them and the look confused not knowing what to do. I just sigh and walk towards the car and stand next to Lachlan. “I can't help but worry, she's in a very fragile state right now and I don't want him saying something that will trigger her.” I tell Lachlan. “I know but I also know that Lena is way stronger than we give her credit for. The conversation they're having is long overdue, she's going to be fine.” Lachlan said. “Yeah, you're right. So what do yo
—Lena— I was sitting down here, nervous as a kite in the rain. Old Bertha knows all and sees all, I don't know how, but she does. It's very possible that she knows the truth about Lyanna but I'm hoping that she doesn't tell Killian before I have the chance, my father was right, I should've never kept it a secret from him and as soon as we're alone in the house, I'm going to tell him everything. Bertha looks at me smiles and winks, she knows but I'm hoping that wink means that she's not going to tell Killian. “Look at the both of you, all grown up. Lena you look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you and Killian you look the same as ever you still have the resting grumpy face.” She said and I do my best to hold in my laugh, I look over at Lachlan and see that he feels the same way but Killian just has a frown on his face, proving Bertha right. Bertha has no filter, she tells it like it is. “Nice to see you too Bertha.” Killian said. “Now, Lachlan why didn't y
—Killian— “Well, I'm going to go and get Mari prepared before your mother gets here.” Bertha says and then she gets up and leaves the room. “So she's just going to get up and leave after dropping that warning?” I asked no one in particular. “I guess so.” Lena said. “Lachlan tell the council to gather in the meeting room in ten minutes.” I told him and then he immediately got up to make some calls. I turned and looked at Lena, she's been so nervous ever since Bertha said that we basically had to reveal everything single secret we had to each other. “How are you feeling?” I asked her. “Overwhelmed, everything that Bertha just revealed is a lot. I thought we were done with all the revelations but I guess I was wrong.” She said. “I get it, you've had this part of yourself that you've not known for years.” I say and she nods her head. “I also know that what Bertha said about revealing everything to each other scared you, I'm also scared too, we just got back together
—Killian— I knew this question was coming, Elijah is an integral part of the council, of course people have noticed his absence. “I'm not going to lie to you, Elijah is one of the reasons that I called this council meeting so abruptly, and I will explain everything but I ask that you keep your questions to yourself until I am done speaking.” I say then I look at each and everyone at the table and they all nod their heads. “The last time Lachlan was here, he told you all about the feral shifters but he also told you not to let anyone outside of the council know what was happening. That was a plan on our part, we knew we had a mole, someone who had betrayed us and we needed to find out. Turns out that mole was Elijah.” Immediately I drop that news there's an uproar that I do not have time for. “Silence!” I shout with my Alpha voice and they all quiet down. “I know you all have questions and they will all be answered if you just quiet down and listen to what I h
—Lena— After Killian and Lachlan leave, I go into the exam room to join Bertha and my father. “There you are, you didn't leave with the boys?” She asked me as she looked up. “No, I didn't. They had their meeting and I wanted to stay here and wait for my mum.” I told her as I looked down and Mari, her face had not a single mark on it, just in the few minutes that she was in here, Bertha had worked miracles on her face and she would do the same on the rest of her body. I was just hoping that she was fast enough so that my mother wouldn't see all the claw marks on her body, it was a hit to my father and so I know my mum won't be able to handle it. I take a seat next to my father and put my hand on top of his he just turns and smiles at me and then he turns back to watch Mariana. I look up at Bertha. “Thank you, for not telling him about Lyanna.” I tell her and she just smiles. “It wasn't my secret to tell.” She tells me. “Can I ask you somethin
—Killian— We walked out of the conference room and took the elevator down to the ground floor. We walked out of the building and entered the car, me in the drivers seat and Lachlan in the passengers seat. “Well, that went well.” I told him and he smiled. “Did you see the look on Missys face when you told her that you and Lena were back together?” He asked me. “I thought her head would explode.” I said and we both started laughing. “She always had a huge crush on you.” Lachlan said. “I know that, but I'd never go anywhere near her.” I said, just the thought of it sent a chill down my spine. Lachlans phone started ringing. “It's Kate.” He said before he picked it up. After a few minutes he dropped the phone. “What's going on?” I asked him. “Well she's pissed that I left her all alone since we've been back.” He said as he shook his head. “Well, that was expected, what else?” I asked him. “Bryce made it, he's at
—Lena— “Yea, apparently for my powers to be unlocked and for Killian to be able to flip shift again, we need to have the mating ceremony and for that we need a celestial event so the full moon. And Bertha said we also needed a witch or warlock I don't know what for.” I explained to Kate. “So it has to be done now? Why can't it wait?” Kate asked. “Because Killian needs to be able to shift if he wants to have any chance of stopping Jeremy.” I tell her. “What about you?” Kate asked and I get where she's coming from. “What is that supposed to mean Kate?” Killian asked her. “Calm down Killian, I'm not coming for you. It's just that a mating ceremony is different than a wedding, I know this and I also know how much Lena has talked of her own ceremony and now she has to rush it, it's not fair.” Kate told him and he turned to me. “Is this true Mi Lena?” Killian asked. “Yea, what girl doesn't dream of their mating ceremony but it's fi
