—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
—Lachlan— I can't let Will know that something is wrong, so I take a few deep breaths and get my emotions under control then I walk down the stairs to the living room. Adriana has fallen asleep on the couch so I cover her with a blanket. “Hey buddy, can you come with me, there's something your mum and I need to tell you.” I tell Will, and because he's such a sweet kid, he doesn't even complain that I'm interrupting his cartoons; he just gets up and puts his tiny hand in mine. Oh goddess, give me the strength to do this; I bend down and carry him, and he leans his head on my shoulder. The look on Eric's face tells me he has questions, but I shake my head at him; I'll explain everything later. Carrying Will, I walk up the stairs back to our room; when I walk in, Kate already has his suitcase on the bed, and she's packing his clothes. Her eyes are red and swollen from all the tears. Will struggles in my arms, so I put him down; he immediately goes to his mum.
