Alpha Leo's POV. Yesterday, when we brought Lex in, Scarlett was asleep. We put him in the cell opposite her's but the thing is we put on the wolfsbane in the vents to keep him weak, so we had to raise the windows up so she wouldn't have been able to see him. I press a button on the wall and the windows in his cell slowly go down and the confused look on Scarlett's face turns to anger. “You bastard.” She shouts as she tries to attack me, but she's too weak and I can see her move coming, so I grab both her hands and pin them to her back. “I'm hurt Scarlett, I mean I kept my end of the deal, I said that the both of you could be together.” I tell her and she just screams and struggles against my hold. I let her go and she falls down on the ground. I leave her cell and lock it behind me and she growls at me. I turn to Lex cell and I press the button on the screen to stop the wolfsbane from entering his cell. He isn't passed out though, he's just sitted
Alpha Leo's POV. The rest of my day is busy as hell, I don't even get a minute to myself to call Lena and check on the kids, but I know they are safe and probably helping out at the clinic and I would see them that night. Everyone was out and about, clearing up all the grass that had taken over our pack and also setting up the boats and funeral pires for the mass burial tomorrow. It's nice to know that even though everyone is grieving, we can still come together and do this. I've been coordinating and answering questions and signing off on orders and finally when I get a minute to myself, I sneak into my office to make a call to Scarlett's parents. “Alpha Leo, to what do I owe this call.” Alpha Logan asks me with that deep voice of his. I never liked the man, he's too stuck in the old ways, he's still of the belief that women belong in that kitchen and are there to just give birth. “Alpha Logan, long time no talk.” I tell him. “Yes, but I don'
Lena's POV. We got in late last night, we spent the whole day in the clinic making calls to relatives and making sure that the kids had everything they needed. My kids had fun, including Brie, just for the time we were back at the clinic, it was like she had forgotten the bad hand that fate had dealt her and she was happy. We got home and the kids were exhausted, they were all falling asleep during bath time, and the moment their heads landed on their pillows, they were out like a light. Leo came back not too long after and he filled me in on his day, he looked exhausted. He told me how it went with Scarlett and I was happy, we were finally free of that woman. Tomorrow was the funeral and he told me he wanted me to stand by his side and as much as I would've loved to, I declined. It wasn't the time, he was going to tell his people the truth about what happened, how he had a half brother that was behind all this and how their Luna helped him. Now wasn't
Lena's POV. I feel a sharp throbbing behind my eyes, fuck, where am I? What happened to me? I try and slowly open my eyes, I'm in a room, no it's more like a dungeon, a sex dungeon to be precise. What the hell is going on here? Where am I? How did I get here? The throbbing in my head only seems to get worse the more I try to remember. The room wobbles, which is weird, I try and listen in and I hear the ocean. I'm on a boat? What the heck? The door to the room opens and then someone steps in, I see the shoes first, male shoes looking new and shining and then I raise my eyes up until they land on the owner of the shoes. The moment my eyes land on him, all the memories start rushing in. The funeral at the pack, how I felt like someone was controlling me and I let Led out of his cell and because everyone was so busy with the funeral, they didn't notice when Lex and Dahlia knocked me out and took me away from the pack. I immediately get up,
Lena's POV. “Lex, please I'll do whatever it is you want, but don't send me away.” I plead with him because I have a feeling that where he's sending me to, is going to be way worse than where I am now. “You're just saying that, you don't mean it, but don't worry, when she's done with you. You will.” He says and then he gets up and he has and injection in his hand. I try and plead with him but he doesn't listen and the next thing, I feel a prick in my neck and I pass out. *************** The next time I wake up, I'm pretty sure that I'm not in the boat anymore, I'm in a car and it's moving. I try to move but it's clear that my hands and legs are tied. I open my eyes and I'm in the back of a truck. “Look, her highness is finally awake.” A voice says and I turn around and there's a man in here with me. “Who are you? Where's Lex?” I ask him. “We ask the questions here chikita, but I'll answer you. The boss has left you to us, well he's left you
Alpha Leo's POV. I'm done with my address, I've answered their questions and they are all satisfied knowing that Lex will be executed tonight. Now, all I want to do is find Lena and the kids. I look around and I can only spot Freya. “Hey, where's Lena and the kids?” I ask her. “Zoey took the kids back home and Lena went into the house a while ago. She said she wanted to use the restroom.” She tells me. “Ok, I'll go get her then we can head back home.” I tell her. I have a spring in my step as I walk back to the house, everything is finally falling into place. The burial has been done so people have said their goodbyes and they can start to grieve, Scarlett is handled and by the end of the day I will be rid of Lex. I'm not saying everything is perfect but it's better than it was a few days ago. “Lena!” I call out her name but I don't get a response. “Lena, baby. Where are you?” I shout out again but I don't get a re
Lena's POV. My eyes land on what looks like a pool of blood on the floor and I know it's blood, I'm a wolf, I can smell it but what the hell is it doing there and where did it come from? “What's with the look your highness? Do you think that you're too good for us?” Frank asks me, I look up at him and he has a smirk on his face as he leers at me. I don't even bother giving him an answer, my eyes go back to the pool of blood and not liked to be ignored. He tracks my movement back to the pool of blood and he starts laughing when he realises what I'm looking at. “Want to place a bet on what it’s from?” My face contorts in revulsion as I shoot a glare at him. “My bet is that some bitch lost her virginity right there,” One of the other men chimes in, lighting a cigarette with a grin. I bristle, and anger rises in my chest. “You’re sick,” I spit, my voice watery and full of so much hate. He only laughs and goes back to the conversation between hi
Lena's POV. We finally get to my room and Frank goes outside to pick it up, he doesn't go too far though because I can still hear him. There's a smudged broken mirror leaning on the wall and I decide to finally look at the extent of the injuries on my back. I remember falling down when I was trying to get away from Lex and Dahlia. The site that greets me is not as bad as I thought, there are no open injuries. I just have a huge bruise on my back and it's already turning purple and yellow. If not for the wolfsbane in my system, I'm supposed to be healed by now. "What the hell happened to you? And why do you look like that?" A woman with red hair and also putting on the highest pair of stilettos I've ever seen asks me. I'm too shocked by her presence that I just keep numb. "Frank!" She screeches his name like a banshee. Nico immediately runs back into the room with his head bored and I immediately realise that this must be Gina. Well she must command immense power fo
EPILOGUETHREE MONTHS LATERLena's POV. In my years that I've lived in this earth, I learnt one thing, blood doesn't always make family. I mean Zeo, Freya and Zoey, we aren't related by blood but they are my family. After Luna Kate came clean about what she did, I thought I would be angry because what she did that night set of a chain of events that got us to where we are today. But that's also why I wasn't mad or anything like that, those events made me the woman that I am today, they gave me my children, so there's no way that I can be angry at that. My parents were the Avery's they raised me and they loved me and that wasn't going to change. I was a grown woman, I wasn't interested in having a relationship with a woman that was too scared to keep me and a father who didn't tolerate weakness and I didn't want that energy around my children. So after they told me rye truth, I thanked her because I could finally solve that unclosed mystery.
Lena's POV. The plane lands and I know that we aren't at the pack yet but I'm giddy with excitement at the prospect of seeing my babies. I know it's just been a couple of weeks, but to be honest, it feels like months have gone by and I haven't seen them. We step out of the air plane and say our goodbyes to Stefan the pilot. Zoey has been calling trying to find out how far out we are, I know it was hard for her to stay back while I was hurt. But she has no idea how much I appreciate her staying with the kids while I was recovering in Scotland. We get into the SUV and Zeo drives so fast, you'd think he was being chased. But I get it, he's been away from Zoey for close to a month, when you count in the time they spent looking for me and then the time I spent recovering. Phoebe has been asking questions about the kids and she can't wait to meet them. Richard promised me that he would find the girls that we saved good homes and the ones that needed reha
Lena's POV. The next day, everyone in the house, was up early in the morning, we were all packed up and ready to go. We said our goodbyes to Richard and Elijah's's other two friends, they decided to stay behind. Richard offered them jobs as part of a covert team. He offered Mark the job too, but he declined and I know that it was because of Pheobe. We left the house and everyone pilled ourselves into two SUV's that Richard had provided. In one car was me, Leo, Brie and Zeo and in the other car was Elijah, Freya and Vincent. Richard also provided us with drivers so that they would be able to bring the cars back. “I can't believe we're finally leaving.” I said out loud. “I can't believe that I'm finally going to see another part of the world.” Pheobe said and I turned to look at her, she was seated in the middle of me and Leo. “Have you been on a plane before Pheebs?” I ask her but I have a feeling what her answer will be. “No I haven't, I kn
Lena's POV. Leo takes my hand and we both walk to the underground prison where Lex is, we get to the end of the hallway and Leo puts in his handprint and the door unlocks. “You're sure you're ready for this?” Leo asks me again. “Yea I am, open it.” I tell him and then he opens the door and we both walk in, the first thing I'm hit with is the smell, it's like decaying flesh. “Sorry about the smell, I cut of his hand the last time I was down here.” He tells me as he points to the spot on the floor where the hand is, I almost throw up but I hold myself back. I hear the sound of someone groaning the pain and I turn around and that's when I see him, Lex. The man that almost broke me and haunts me every night in my dreams. I barely recognise him, he only has his boxers on and his hair has grown out that its covering half of his face. His whole body has different shades of bruises all over and then his left hand now has a stump from where Leo ripped o
Lena's POV. The next morning I wake up wrapped up in Leo, last night was everything and so much more, I can still feel it right now, I'm so sore. “Good morning mia cara.” Leo whispers in my ear. I turn over and face him. “Good morning baby.” I say to him and then I kiss him and before too long, the kiss turns heated and I can feel Leo getting hard so I pull back. “Are you sore baby?” He asks me. “Yeah a little.” I tell him. “Was I too rough with you?” He asks me. “Yes, but don't go beating yourself up about it, I loved every second of it.” I tell him. “Ok, come on let's go take a shower, if I stay in this bed with you, there's no stopping me from having my way with you.” He tells me. I take his outstretched hand and we both walk into the bathroom, the shower is big enough to contain the both of us and there would still be space. We enter the shower and while the water sprays the both of us, I grab Leo's cock. “Don'
Lena's POV. It's been two weeks and today I was officially cleared from physical therapy, I don't even need to use the crutches, but both Leo and Zeo insist that I use it, saying that I shouldn't stress myself too much. We're leaving the hospital room, and today I finally get to meet all the men that risked their lives to save me when they knew nothing about me. I told Zeo and Leo that I didn't want them in the hospital, I didn't want them seeing me like that, they explained it to the guys and they understood. We take the elevator up to the apartment, it's my first time here, the elevator door opens and everyone shouts. “Surprise!” Everyone is there, Zeo, Phoebe, Freya, Vincent and then four men that I don't recognise. I step out of the elevator and hug Zeo, Pheobe and Freya, I hug all of them and then I turn to the first guy standing there. Zeo comes forward and makes the introductions. When he's done, I hug all four of them. “Thank you so much for all your
Lena's POV. I held on to the handle bars and took my first step, it was small and shaky, it was like I was a baby, learning how to walk again. “That's good Selene, try again.” Zeo encourages me. I take another step with my left leg and it's stronger than the other one, I take a few more steps until my leg stops shaking altogether. “Ok Selene, how about you try walking without the bars, you just have a few more steps before you get to Leo.” Anna tells me. I take a few deep breaths, my eyes are on Leo the whole time. “You can do this mia cara.” He encourages me. I remove one hand first from the bars and then I remove my second hand, I stagger a little, but Zeo is there to catch me and hold me up. “Just tell me when you're ready and I'll let you go.” Zeo tells me. I look at Leo again and his presence there gives me the strength that I need. “I'm fine Zeo, you can let me go now.” I tell him and he removes his hands from my back. I tak
Lena's POV. “But there's something else we need to talk about.” He tells me. “What is it?” I ask him. “It's about Lex.” He tells me and Immediately the smile is wiped off from my face. “I told you I didn't want to talk about him.” I tell him and then I rip my hand away from his. “I know that mia cara, but we have too. The doctor said that by next week you can start physical therapy and use your crutches and by the upper week, we can take you back home. We have to decide what we're going to do with him.” He tells me. “I don't care what you do to him.” I tell him and I mean it. “I know that you don't care and you probably don't want to see his face ever again but I don't think that's a good idea.” He tells me and I swear to the goddess if I was not bedridden, I would be strangling him right now. “Oh really, please enlighten me.” I tell him. “Don't be like that Lena. I just thought it would be a good idea for you to confront him
Lena's POV. Phoebe hugged me so tight it was so painful but I didn't say anything, I just hugged her back because I knew that she needed this, I also needed it too, she risked her life to save mine. Finally we separated and I shifted on hu bed and had her sit next to me. “Thank you so much Phoebe, if you weren't brave enough to go out for help and then stumbling on Leo, I would probably be dead.” I tell her and I mean it, if not for her, there was a high cahnce that I would've not been here right now. “It's fine Lena, you told me I had to be brave and I was.” She says with a smile on her face. “So how has it been living in a house full of boys, are they treating you well.” I ask her, from what Leo tells me, she's been sticking to only Mark since she came out and I'd like to know why. “Yea, they're all nice, especially Mark.” She says and I see a tinge of red in her cheeks. Oh I get it now, she has a crush on Mark. “Oh, really, you know I haven'
