“I didn't know how to tell you he was back” He mind links back and I nod to him. Lucas watched us knowing we were talking through the link.“Why are you here?” I ask Lucas .“I wanted to see you, see our kids” He says looking at the wall and not meeting my gaze. I make the coffee setting out five cups.“Can you take these up to mum and dad?” I ask Logan and he nods grabbing their two mugs and walking upstairs.“Are you staying or are you planning on leaving again?” I ask, sliding his cup to him where he stood on the other side of the counter.“Am I allowed to stay?” He asks.“Depends if you plan on leaving again, I won't have you walking in and out of our children's lives Lucas , either stay or don’t but if you leave, don’t come back” I tell him and he growls low.“Don’t growl at me, I won’t tolerate that shit, you were gone for months. Just left didn’t even ring, not even to check on your own kids” I tell him.“Can I see them?” He asks just as Logan walks in with Titus in his arms, h
“I am fine with it” I tell them before Logan’s voice flits through my head.“Do you want him to go or not? If you don’t want him here Lana, I will make him leave” He says and I could feel Lucas watching us again.“It’s fine but he sleeps on the couch” I reply and Logan nods before kissing my cheek.“Come, I will get you some clothes so you can shower” He says, grabbing Ashley off him. Logan nods before standing with Titus in his arms, he comes over handing him to me. I take him before walking into the kitchen and placing him in his high chair, Logan doing the same with Ashley while I make their lunch. Both of them walk upstairs while I remain a little uneasy about the situation. I was glad he was okay and as much as I hate to admit it I do miss him, but I refuse to be hurt by him again, refuse to let him hurt our kids.Hazel I mulee up the babies food before sitting down on a chair in front of them, feeding them their carrot and pumpkin puree. I could hear the shower running upstairs
“You don’t need to worry, I have gotten used to sleeping in that form” Lucas says behind me before reaching around me to grab his shorts. I keep my back to him.“Hey little man” He says kissing Titus' head before grabbing him and I know he is dressed. Titus squeals clapping his hands excitedly as his father takes him.I follow them into the kitchen turning the kettle on."Can I ask where you have been all this time?" I ask him.Lucas looks over at me before looking down at Titus again and I hand him his bottle."Mostly in rogue camps" he says and I shake my head annoyed that he would rather live with rogues than be with his mates."Just say it Hazel stop holding back, I know you want to say something just say it"" I am not holding back Lucas , I don't feel the need to yell at you" I tell him."You don't?""Why would I? You made your decision to leave and that's on you not me. I don't care if you're in my life or not. The only thing I care about is making sure you don't fuck up theirs
" No I waited long enough and Logan definitely has, get your shit together Lucas or just leave we don't need you here if you have no Intention of being with us"Hazel I had just walked up the stairs and was walking into check on Ashley when Elias' voice flitted through the mind link."Is Logan awake still?" He asks."No why?""Nothing I can't handle," he replies but I could hear his concern in his voice."Do you need me to come?" I ask him."No Logan doesn't want to worry you,""Well saying that makes me worry where are you?""Eastern border but it's fine I can deal with it" he cuts off the mind link and I refocus on my surroundings. Going in the room. I get dressed, chucking on some jeans and a shirt before chucking my joggers on. Walking downstairs Logan was still asleep and would be dead on his feet if he went so stepping in the kitchen I found Lucas ." Do you think you would be right with the kids for awhile,Logan is asleep and I need to go see Elias""Yes of course but can you
"No place? it is on my packs territory""You don't need to get involved, go home now we will handle this"Chase walks over kneeling beside the box, everyone stepping back and my father shoves me away."Go home Hazel " he growls."No tell me what's going on, why are they attacking us?""Because of Clan now go home. Logan is going to pitch a fit when he finds this out""Is this why you left home, is this going on back home too?""Hazel we haven't got time for this just go" My father yells at me pointing back the way I came. I turned my back on him walking home pissed off that this was hidden from me. Does Janet know? And what does Janet have to do with this? I had so many questions and no one was willing to answer them and I doubt Logan will tell me anything unless I demand him too and even then he can fight it.When I get home Lucas looks up alarmed and Logan rushes down the stairs in panic before stopping when he sees me walking toward him. He lets out a breath of relief.Then suddenl
"She was a hunter he didn't just kill her, he killed her family they were pretty high up with the hunters""So this is revenge?""Yes it had been going on back on your mother and father's territory for months, Clan tried to hide it from them. After everything with Avery it was all out in the open. Your mother was pissed off because your father knew all along and that is why your father and Clan have been clashing. They thought moving here would stop it, but turns out they seem to think your parents had something to do with it, hunters attacked and Clan tore one up one of their men and dropped him in their directors driveway and admitted it was him before killing the man's son. He was going to kill all of them when he was shot and had to flee""So my brother started this?" I nod."I just don't get why he killed his mate. It makes no sense even if she was a hunter" she says and I agree when Lucas speaks."She was going to poison the water supply with wolfsbane" I turned to look at him.
“ Doesn’t mean he loves you any less” I tell him.“What about you then” Lucas asks but I ignore him going to get the kids out of their highchairs where they were currently playing with their food and spreading it through their hair.“Damn Lucas , why did you leave the bowls there?” I say grabbing them off them and placing them in the sink.“Sorry I didn’t know they were going to do that,” He says, coming over to help. I start stripping their onsies off before trying to remove the gunk from their hair. Lucas cleans out the sink before filling it with water. I grab Titus before going over and testing the water and adding more cold before taking his nappy off and bathing him.“Can you grab the baby soap and face washers they’re in that tub over there?” I tell him pointing to the tub on the fridge. He reaches up grabbing it down before handing it to me.“And some towels” I tell him and he walks out to retrieve some before placing them on the counter beside me. I wash Titus and have to was
“Hazel” Logan chokes out his panic hitting me when I am suddenly ripped away. My vision red, and everything heightened. Logan gasps clutching his neck.“Get control Hazel ” My father screams at me and I realise Logan had been the one to jerk me away. I could feel my wounds healing, though the claw marks down my face were still running like a tap down my face making my bloodlust worse as I could smell my own blood.Lucas shifts and I hear one of the babies cry, my head snapping to them as I watch Titus sit up in his cot, his hands going through the bars as he reaches for me. I focus on him, focus on what Logan is feeling. I take a deep breath through my nose before blowing it out of my mouth. Luca’s arms around my chest loosening slightly as I feel my blood lust start to leave as I focus on Logan feelings and the sight of my kids in the cot listening to the sounds of their cries.“Get her out of here Lucas , the smell of blood in here won't be helping her'' My father says to him. I fee
