—Lena's POV— “He must be really desperate to offer me that much land and wealth.” I tell Zoey as I gulp down the remaining whiskey in my glass, the burn doesn't help or make my mind any clearer. “Yes he must be, I've never heard of an Alpha offering up this much to a stranger, because he doesn't know that it's you so he must be really desperate.” Zoey said. “Fuck! Why couldn't he just stay out of my life, I was doing so well, I had my job, I had my kids and after all these years Leo just had to come in again.” I said as I ran my hands through my hair. “You can say no Lena, you're not obligated to help him or that pack, they all turned their backs on you.” Zoey told me, I appreciated Zoey and I wished I was more like her, she saw the world in black and white and that was it, but that wasn't me, I knew they were some grey areas and I was a doctor, I swore to do no harm, so if I ignore Leo's request and not help the pack and more people die when I could've helpe
—Alpha Leo's POV— I was walking around the pack, it looked so different, everywhere was so quiet. What a difference six months could make, usually tehte were kids outside, running around and getting into all sorts of trouble. Men and women milling about going about their day, all had a smile on their face. But ever since the sickness started, everyone keeps to themselves, they barely leave their houses unless it was necessary. The sickness hit the kids first, the healers at the pack didn't see it as anything at first, they thought it was just the flu and a case of fever but when the first child died and more kids were getting sick, we knew that it was serious. They did their best, I called in the best doctors but they couldn't even identify what the sickness was and more kids died and then it spread to the men and women. No one was safe, we don't know how it's spread or contacted because not everyone gets sick. Someone might come in contact with another sick person an
—Alpha Leo's POV— Dear Alpha Leo. You are a very persistent man or a desperate one or maybe you're both. I read your letter and you have convinced me, I will help your pack.” “Fuck Yes!” I shouted, feeling a huge wave of relief spread through my body. “What is it? Is it good news?” Zeo asked me. “Yes, she has agreed to help us.” I tell him. “That's amazing news. What else did she say?” Zeo asked. “Let me continue reading, I didn't get that far.” I tell him and he nods his head. Now, I am not making any promises, I don't know what this disease is or if I'll be able to cure it but I promise you I'll do my best. Now because this is such short notice I won't be able to come immediately because I have obligations at work that I can't get out off, the soonest I can make it there is in three weeks, I know it seems like a lot but I would've have come sooner if it was possible. Plus those three weeks should be more than enough time for yo
—Lena's POV— The day had finally come, I had taken care of everything I needed to back at my lab, asked for a leave of absence and handed over my patients, there was nothing more left for me to do other than to pack up and also explain to the kids that we are leaving, I still haven't figured out what I'm going to tell them, thankfully Zoey is coming with us, so she'll be able to stay with the kids while I'm working, I really don't know what I would do without her. I lock up my lab, leave the building, get into my car and drive home. I still have to pack for me and the kids, this disease, I don't know how bad it is and so I have no idea how long I'll be at the pack. I get home and I see Zoey's car is already there, which means the kids are back from school. I park my car and head into the house and a fee seconds later, I hear their little feets running down the stairs. “Mummy!” All three of them scream when they see me. I squat down and ooeny arms as wide as I can and
—Lena's POV— We were packed up and kids were excited about the road trip, I decided to drive instead of taking a plane, the drive down is about six hours and between me and Zoey it shouldn't be a problem. The truth is that with a flight, we would've gotten there in two hours and then the drive down to the pack would've been about thirty minutes, but I wanted to postponey reunion with Leo for as long as possible. So the kids were buckled up in the back, Zoey took the passenger seat, I was going to drive for the first three hours and she would finish the journey. Zoey talked on the phone with Zeo, Leo's Beta, so they know to expect us, Zeo said that all my requirements have been met and our house is ready. My lab assistant would be joining us in two days, he still had some things to wrap up. “Are you ready kids?” I asked them, and I managed to even sound excited. “Yes!” Liam shouted. “Let's go!” Luke shouted as he pumped his fists in the air.
—Lena’s POV— The shock was clear on his face, he looked like he had just seen a ghost. I look back into the car and see that the kids are still asleep, I have to get rid of Leo before they wake up, I know sooner rather than later he's going to see them but I'd like it to not be today. I take a deep breath, I look to Zoey and she nods her head at me and I walk towards Leo and Zeo while Zoey stays back so she can keep an eye on the kids. “Alpha Leo I presume?” I asked him even though I knew it was him. He looked so confused it was almost funny. “Selene? What are you doing here?” He asked as he stared at me, not even blinking. “I'm here to help, you asked for my help so here I am and my name is not Selene, it's Doctor Lena Everhart.” I tell him. “You? You're the doctor?” He asked. “Yes I am, now I appreciate the both of you coming here to welcome us but I've had a long journey and I just need to get some rest, we can talk after I'v
—Alpha Leo's POV— I couldn't believe it, if Zeo wasn't there, I would've thought that maybe my eyes were deceiving me, but they weren't, it was her, it was Selene. She was older but she was even more beautiful than the last time I saw her and it was clear to me that she wasn't the same girl I rejected six years ago. No, in her place was a woman, a strong, confident woman. The way she talked to me, I mean she wasn't rude but she had this authority in her voice. And she was a mother, a mother. At first when I saw that little boy run towards her and call out to her, I had this shock and dread run down my spine, before she left she told me she was pregnant but I didn't give a fuck, I was so caught up with Scarlett coming back to me. But the children weren't mine, which only meant one thing, she had moved on, she had someone else in her life and for some reason that made my blood boil. Somehow we made it back to my house and back into the office, I took my seat and
—Lena's POV— “Uhmmm….” I trailed off, trying to think of what to say, that's the thing with kids, they hear everything and they're not scared to call you out. “His name is Leo, he is the Alpha of this pack. Remember I explained to you and your sibling who an Alpha is.” I remind him. “Yes I remember, but why did you tell him we were four years old, we are five, not four mummy.” He says as he tries to give me a stern face but he just ends up looking so cute. “I'm sorry baby, I must've mispoken, the next time I meet with him I'll make sure to correct it alright.” I tell him and then he smiles and nods his head. Thank goodness, crisis averted. I take Luke out of his car seat and Zoey carries Karla, I'm just happy that it was Liam that woke up and not Like, Luke would've not been satisfied with the answer I gave to Liam. Because my hands are full with carrying Luke, I hand Liam the keys and he opens the door to the cabin. I still can't believe that t
