CHAPTER 133—Lena— “Ok, for the rest of the day, I'm going to need you to keep your hands to yourself.” I tell Killian who has a shit eating grin on his face. “You weren't complaining a few minutes ago when you were riding me like a bronco.” He smirked. “Yea, you're right, but no more. You need to get some food in me and I need to check on Adriana. Then after breakfast we can tell Lachlan the plan and I'll call Jeremy.” I tell him as I finish touching up my make up. I have on black jeans and a black crop top. The family of the deceased i meant to wear black for a week, I already told the other's that I didn't want them to wear black with me, I didn't want the energy in the house to be somber. We both left the room and I walked down to Adriana's room, I knocked but there was no response so I opened the door, she wasn't in the room, I checked thr bathroom and she wasn't there either. I walked down the stairs to the kitchen ajd everyone was up and sitted
—Lena— “It's about Luna, we figured that she must be the reason why your father is working for Jeremy. But the thing is that Luna can't only be used against your father she can be used to get to me and Killian.” I explained. “Lena, you should know that we tried to find her parents.” Kat tells me. “I know that, Kat, and I'm not angry. I'm happy that she has been raised in a very happy family and from the pictures and what you've told me she's a very happy little girl. But if our talk with Jeremy doesn't go well and knowing why we know about him now. We know that very soon he's going to get desperate; he kidnapped her when she was a baby, so we can't put it past him to use her against us now, which is why we need to tell your mum what's happening.” I explain to both her and Eric. “Can I go with you?” Eric asked. “Really Eriza? What if Dad is there?” Kat asked. “Sooner or later, we were bound to meet again, and this way, Mum will believe wha
—Jeremy— “Calm down Jeremy.” Elijah shouts, and I glare at him, but he isn't deterred; he glares back. “Jer please.” Elena pleads with me, I look down, and I see that my claws are retracted, and I can feel my fangs coming out. I take a few deep breaths to calm myself down, I retract my claws and my fangs go down. “So what you're trying to tell me is that the man that knows my real identity and maybe even more than that is on his way or probably already at Killian's pack and he is going to tell me everything and this is happening at the same time that the doctor just informed me that the feral shifters, my army are dying.” I shout as I start pacing and running my hands through my hair. “What are you talking about, Jeremy? Would you stop fucking pacing and talk to us.” Elijah snaps at me. I stop pacing and face him and Elena. “The shifters are dying. The doctor said it's because they're feral, and feral shifters aren't meant to be kept in cages; t
—Lena— An hour and some minutes later, we're all ready but before we leave I pull Lachlan aside. “I need you to do something for me.” I tell him. “Of course Lena, what is it?” Lachlan asked. “I need you to give this letter to Morana.” I tell him and then I bring out the envelope from my bag and hand it over to him. “I'll deliver it.” He tells me and nods his head in understanding, he doesn't ask any questions. “Thank you Lachlan.” I tell him and then I give him a hug and pull back. “You guys be careful out there, if you sense anything is wrong, you leave immediately. You drag Killian's ass out of there.” He tells me and I smile. “I promise I will.” I tell him and then we walk back to the living room where everyone else is waiting. They all wish us good luck and tell us to be safe them Kat, Killian and I leave the house. We enter the SUV, Kat at the back, me in the passenger seat and Killian in the driver's seat. He start
—Killian— I knew what he was doing but I would rein in my anger for now. Lena squeezed my hand under the table. “Turns out Cole's father was friends with your uncle Alan. He was my father's Beta. In the weeks leading up to that night, he suspected that something was going on with my father, and my mother had warned him, too. The day of your birthday Alan couldn't come because he had to stay back at the pack, but he instructed Ansgar to follow and keep an eye on things, so he was there that night and he saw everything that happened. He went back to the pack and told Uncle Alan, "Alan confronted my father, and my father ripped his heart out and buried him, then he made up a lie about him moving away because of what happened.” I say to him and he looks even more pissed. “So you're saying that Ansgar knew the truth and, like a coward, he didn't speak up?” Jeremy asked. “Ansgar Burrows is not a coward; he had no idea that you or your sister survived. That's why he kept q
—Killian— “What are you doing Killian?” Lena asks me as she shakes my hand but I don't answer or turn to look at her all my attention is on Jeremy. “So what do you say? I'm the one you really want, I mean Elijah said it best, sins of the father are the sins of the son. So take the offer, if you kill me, you leave everyone I love alone, it all ends with my death.” I tell him. “What happens if you kill me?” Jeremy asked but he didn't look scared, he had a smug look on his face. “The same thing applies, I leave the people you love alone as long as they agree to not come after me.” I tell him and he strokes his jaw like he's thinking. “But it won't really be a fair fight will it? Seeing as you're a flip shifter who can't shift.” He tells me and I have to admit I'm shocked and it must show on my face. “Oh, are you surprised that I know? A little parting gift from Mariana, she told me the truth. Now apart from it not being a fair fight, I would
—Kate— Earlier That Day; After the family meeting, everyone disbursed, Lachlan and Killian were talking pack business so I went up to Lena's room to check up on her. Out of all of us she's the one that's had it the worst. Losing her sister, finding out Jeremy is the enemy, gaining back her memories and now, knowing her daughter is alive but she can't go to her. I don't think I'd be able to live through that kind of pain, but my best friend is strong. I knock on her door and go into her room, she's on her bed with a pen and paper on her lap. “Hey, what are you up to?” I asked her as I went to sit by her side. “I thought I would write a letter to Morana, thanking her for taking such good care of Luna and explaining to her why we can't be there and also to tell Luna that we love her.” Her voice catches on her last sentence and I can tell that none of this is easy for her. I rub my hand on her back and comfort her. “That's a really good idea Lena, I just hav
—Lachlan— I've been pacing up and down ever since Kate left the house, I haven't been able to settle down. I just feel that something is wrong. “What is it with you men and the pacing? You need to calm down Lachlan, Katie girl is fine. Stop you're making the kid worry.” He tells me and I look over to Will and see that he has been looking at me, his cartoon totally forgotten. “Hey big man, you tired of watching your cartoons?” I asked him as I picked him up. “Is everything alright daddy?” He asked me, that's the thing with kids, they were intuitive and can always tell when something is wrong. “Everything is fine. Why'd you ask?” I asked him. “I don't know, everyone seems so worried.” He tells me as he pouts. “Oh don't be sad son, everything is fine. Everyone is just all over the place because we're trying to plan your uncle Killian and aunt Lee Lee's wedding, remember they're getting married.” I told him. “Oh yes, I remember, mamm
EPILOGUE.A YEAR LATER.AUTHORS POV. I know you're all probably wondering, a year time skip is too much, but don't worry I'll catch you up. After the funeral, the council of Alpha's met to decide on Jeremy, Elijah and Elena's punishment. It was decided that they would all be spell bound and banished. Spell bound in the sense that their abilities as shifters would be locked away by a spell and only the witch or warlock that put the spell on them would be able to unlock it. So that's what happened and every shifter in the world, hell every supernatural creature was informed of what they did so they wouldn't be getting any help. Also Killian reported Jeremy's businesses and they were all shut down. Elijah begged for a second chance with Adriana but she refused. Slowly but surely everyone was healing from the loss of that day and it also helped that Will amd Luna were back, bringing much needed joy and light into their lives. Now I know some of you are confused,
—Lena— A Few Days Later. The pack was in mourning, yes we won the war, but that didn't mean that they weren't any casualties. All together we lost about thirty shifters but we all know it would've been worse if we didn't have the cure. We had two days to mourn and today we were going to have a mass burial. Here's how everyone in the house is doing, Kate hasn't left her room in days, and I cam hear her cries and screams through the walls, but she won't let anyone in and I completely understand. Killian is being the strong Alpha that he is but I know he's hurting, but in this moment he needs to be strong for his people. We've barely spoken two words to each other, I mean what could we possibly say that would make sense of what just happened. He did leave Jeremy alive though, Jeremy, Elijah and Elena are currently down in the dungeons waiting for a decision from the council of Alpha's on how to deal with them. Iannis, Eric and Kat have been going round hel
—Killian— I was right, I can finally flip shift again. The first time I did it after we left the wedding, the feeling was euphoric, the split second that it took meant everything. The ferals were way more than I expected but it didn't matter, our numbers were still more than theirs. Lachlan and I had been separated but I knew he was fine, it wasn't easy curing the ferals when all they wanted to do was kill us. It felt good being able to shift again, one second I was my wolf and the next I was back to being human. But I still hadn't found the one person I was looking for, where the hell was he? He was the one controlling them, so he couldn't be far. I was done taking care of the feral on my side and the men were taking them to safety. “Jeremy! Don't be a coward, stop sending your lackeys and come and face me yourself!” I shout out as I continue walking around, searching for him. “Don't worry, I'm not going to use the cure on you, it's going to be the cold
—Lena— “Where exactly do you think you're going to?” Missy asked me as I was about to leave the building. “You heard me right? I'm going to find her son.” I told her. “You can't go out there alone Lena.” She tells me. “Is that actual worry that I hear in your voice Missy? Don't worry about me; I can take care of myself; you stay here and make sure that everyone gets down there.” I tell her. “No, Celia can handle that, I'm coming with you.” She tells me I don't have the time to argue with her; I need to find the woman's son. “Fine, let's go.” I tell her and then we both leave the building. “She said he was just with her so he couldn't have gotten far.” I tell her. “Yeah, that's true, but he's still a kid; they wander off pretty fast once something catches their attention.” Missy tells me. “Why don't we split up, we'll be able to find him faster.” I tell her. “Not going to happen, you might
—Killian— A loud alarm sounds, and it can only mean one thing: they're here. Using my Alpha voice, I address the crowd. “Everyone calm down. We have prepared for this, and we all know what to do; if we panic, it isn't going to help. All the women and children start making your way down to the passageways.” I instruct them and then I turn to look at Lena. “Make sure everyone is safe and that the boundary spell is up before you come and meet us.” I tell her. “I know, you be safe out there, he's going to come straight for you.” She tells me. “Well, he's going to be in for a huge surprise.” I tell her, when we marked each other, I felt something shift in me and I finally feel like my former self, I haven't tried it out but I'm very sure that I cam flip shift again. “I'll see you soon.” She tells me and then she picks up her dress and runs into the house with Kate, Adriana and Kat following behind her. Lachlan comes to stand by my side with Iannis an
—Lena— We walk down the stairs, to the back patio doors that lead into the clearing. Adriana and Kat go out first when the violin starts playing. “Alright, this is it, once you step out, there's no going back.” Kate tells me. “I know that Kate, I'm ready.” I tell her. “Alright then, we just have to wait for your dad. Oh, there he is.” Kate says as my dad walks in and he has tears in his eyes as he looks at me. “Oh, my baby girl, you look so beautiful.” He tells me, and I can't help the tears that also well up in my eyes; my father doesn't get emotional all the time. “Thank you, Dad.” I tell him as he stands by my side and puts my hand through his. Kate nods at the two of us, and then she walks out; we wait a few minutes and then me and my dad walk out, and I can't help that I stop walking the moment we step outside because the crowd gathered here is more than I expected. “It's ok, Lena, don't focus on them; focus on the one perso
—Lena— The next day, we kind of slept in and by the time we got up and got ready for the day, it was already eleven in the morning, the perfect time to start brunch if I do say so myself. The guys had left, none of them telling us where they were going to, so we had the house to ourselves. When I walked downstairs the kitchen had been transformed and I'm not just talking about the decorations, I'm talking about the food spread that Kate had on the counter, there was a fruit board and a cheese board that was so beautifully arranged I was scared to touch it. “Oh Kate, this all looks amazing.” I tell her. “Well, I'm glad you like it. We have a massage scheduled in the next thirty minutes and after that, mani pedis. So everyone here's your drink.” She said as she handed a glass of mimosas to me ans Kat buy just orange juice for Adriana. We took the glass, got into our robes and walked into the living room where the tables had already been set up for the massage
—Lena— Iannis places the bowl in the middle of the table and then all three of them hold hands and start chanting, at first nothing happens and then the liquid in the bowl starts to swirl, it starts slowly first and then it gets so fast that it starts ti form a whirl pool and then there's a blinding bright light all over the bowl and then they stop chanting, the light disappears and the liquid stops swirling. “So I take it that blinding light means that it worked?” I asked them. “Hell yes it worked. Finally.” Eric sighed. In fact there was a sigh of relief all around the room. “Eric, Iannis, Kat, Bertha. I don't know how to even thank you guys for this. You have gone above and beyond. Thank you so much.” Killian tells them and I can tell that he's emotional in that moment. “Killian's right, thank you for this.” I tell them. “No thanks necessary, this was my mistake to fix.” Iannis said. “So what happens next, the liquid in that bowl is
—Lena— It's currently a night to the fourth day, for the past three days, the tension in the pack was palpable, it was like a fuse that was getting ready to blow. Everyone was doing what was asked of them, after the first day, Eric, Kat and Iannis didn't even bother to come back to the house, they'd all been holed up in the cabin, only just sending the occasional text when they needed something and then one of us would go and get it for them. Killian, Lachlan and Kate spent most of their time in the training centre while Adriana and I focused on getting the passageways ready and also planning the mating ceremony. Kate was the one who insisted on this but now she was too busy to help not like I'm blaming her or anything but it was her idea to have something big. If it was left to me, I would just put on a gown and get everything over with. But my mother offered to help me and I gladly accepted, plus it was a good distraction for her. But finally, everything was rea
