—Elliot Bennett— I get up to open the door for Alan and I immediately get this foreboding feeling, the last time I felt like this was when I was leaving the pack to come here. I open the door and Alan is standing right there and the look on his face gives it all away. "No, he's not…" My voice cuts off as I try to hold back the sob in my chest. "I'm so sorry man, but we just confirmed it, he's gone." Alan tells me and I immediately fall to the ground and let out a heart wrenching scream. Heather gets up and gets on the floor with me and she hugs me, my face in her chest and I just give up and start crying. The only other time I cried like this was the night my mother died and now my father is dead too. I cry and cry and scream until I can't anymore and Heather holds me through all of it. When I'm done I raise up my head and she wipes my face and I see that she's been crying too. That's right we are linked now she can feel whatever I'm feeling and I can
—Elliott Bennett— I turn and look at Heather. "You wanna get married baby?" I ask her. She looks up at me with shock written all over her face. "What did you just say?" She asks me like she can't believe the words that just came out of my mouth. I take both of her hands in mine and get down on one knee. "I know that this isn't an ideal situation right now and you deserve a much better proposal than this, I don't even have a ring for you, but if I have to leave here tomorrow, I'm not leaving without you, you're coming back to the pack with me as my Luna." I tell her and I can feel the stares of everyone in the room on me, but none of them matter, all that matters is Heather. "So, what do you say mia cara, will you marry me today, in front of our family and friends?" I ask her. Tears are gathering in her eyes but there's a smile on her face. "But Elliot, I don't have a dress or anything." She tells me. "We'll figure all that out and if it makes you feel bet
—Lena— The flight from here to the private hanger in Massachusetts is about four hours and then we still have like an hour drive to the pack. I look at my watch and see that we're only an hour into the flight. The chairs on the jet turn to beds and everyone is making good use of it, it's like now that we're in the air and safe, they can now sleep. Even Killian has finally slept, I look down at him, he's so peaceful right now, the weight on his shoulders is a lot and he still has the council of alpha's to lead if he accepts the appointment. I run my hands through his hair and he stirs a little and there's a little smile on his face. I wish I could take some of his burdens away from him but the one thing I can do is get our baby girl back and if I find out that all my suspicions are true, Killian is going to have to get in line because I'm the one that's going to kill Jeremy. For some reason, I'm too wired to sleep, I've tried but there are just too many thoughts
—Killian— After we're done we lay side by side completely exhausted, I forgot how it was when Lena was in heat, I don't know about other female shifters, but when Lena was in heat, she was insatiable. We had just gone five rounds before she was finally calm. Not that Im complaining, I'm all for her climbing me and taking whatever she wants from me. But she was right, her being in heat couldn't have come at a worst time, but there was nothing we could do, it's not like she could control it and if I remember correctly her heat usually comes before Kate's own, which means we're about to have a very angry she wolf on our hands, I mean you guys know how Kate behaves, when she's on heat, she's like ten times worse. I roll over and look at my beautiful wife, even after all these years, she's still as beautiful as the day I first set my eyes on her. I know she thinks that I never saw her, that I only had eyes for her sister until the day I realised she was my mate, but that isn't true
—Lena— I hated being on heat, apart from the constant sex, I hated every other thing that came with it. The constant tiredness, always sleeping and the need for raw red meat. I opened my eyes and looked up at Killian, my husband, he really has changed. I raise my head and he looks up from his laptop. “You're awake, and just in good time, we're about to land.” He tells me. I look out the window and I see that he's right, I look around the cabin and everyone is awake, all of a sudden I get this rush if nerves. “How are you feeling?” Killian asked me. “Good, I've had all the there's, sex, sleep and meat, I should be good for another twelve hours.” I tell him. “That's good, we should be in the pack and settled by then.” He tells me. “Yeah, the pack.” I said then I started wringing my fingers together but Killian puts his hand on mine and stops me. “Everything is going to be ok mi Lena.” He says to me. “You don't know that. I haven't seen my parents since that
—Lena— Two hours later, Killian drove through the huge gates that lead into the Quarry Pack. My first time back in eight years. Our pack is one of the largest, the best way to describe it was that it was bigger than your average small town, that's how big it was. I just stared out my window at the houses, some things looked the same and some things were different. “Mi Lena, I'm going to drop Eric and Adrianna at the house and then me, you and Lachlan will go over to your parents house.” Killian tells me and I just nod my head, there are so many emotions running through me right now that I can't even put together a sentence. Killian continues driving until we get to the Alpha's house, no calling it a house is an understatement it's a freaking mansion and it doesn't matter how many times you've seen it, there's no getting used to how huge it is. “That's a freaking mansion!” Eric exclaims at the back seat. “You know Killian, I knew you were a billionaire but I guess the say
—Lena— “If this is meant to be a joke, it's not funny Lena. Now tell me the truth, where is your sister?” He asked me again and he was angry and clearly in denial. “I'm sorry dad, I wish I lying and it wasn't the truth but I'm not. Mariana is dead, her coffin is in the trunk of the car.” I tell him, he staggers back and looks from me to Killian and Lachlan and the look on their faces must finally convince him that I'm not lying. “No, my baby girl, that's not possible.” He said and he had tears in his eyes, this was too much for me to handle and Killian must've sensed that because he came forward and took my hand. “I am so sorry for your loss Daniel. Mari has been dead for a few days now but we had someone cast a spell to preserve her body so that we could bring her back here and give her a befitting burial as a member of the pack.” Killian said. “A few days? What happened to her? How did she die?” My father asked. “We should probably go inside the house to talk, we're
—Killian— “Yes she is, Lena and I are married. And even if we weren't you do not speak to her like that, you don't know the full story, Mari brought this on herself.” I tell Daniel, speaking up for the first time, I know Lena wanted to handle everything herself but I can't just sit by and do nothing while her father lays into her. “I apologise for my outburst Alpha Kelly, it's just all too much for me.” He said. “It's fine, but I'm not the one you should be apologising to.” I said then I looked at Lena who was looking at me like I was crazy. “Lena, I'm sorry for going off on you like that. This all just a shock to me, seeing you after eight years and then finding out that your sister is dead, it's a lot. But I'm ready to listen now, you said I don't know the full story, so please tell me.” Her father said and I could tell that he was truly remorseful. I looked at Lena. “You tell him.” She said to me and I nodded my head. “At first, we all thought that this was some pe
