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
Lena's POV. Gina peers down at me with a look of disdain in her eyes. I meet her stare head on, I'm not going to cower and be weak. "My number one rule is obedience, you follow that and you may just be able to get out of here sane and whole. But if you don't I'd take pleasure in breaking you and drugging you until you're compliant. And another thing fail to do as I say and you will be punished and trust me you don't want that. Have I made myself clear?" When asks me, still looking down at me like I'm filth underneath her shoes. I drop down my head so that she can't see the anger that's brewing behind my eyes. I force the words out of my mouth. "Yes ma'am, understood." "Did you just call me ma'am? Do I look old to you your highness? Are you seriously trying to insult me?" She sneers down at me. "No, I…." I don't even finish my sentence before she backhands me on my face and I stumble to the ground. "You do not talk back to me or talk to me unless I give you
Lena's POV. A creak from beside my bed rouses me from a deep slumber I’ve been wading in for what feels like years. I startle awake in a cold sweat, disoriented, and confused when there's nothing but blackness, and the soft white glow of the moonlight peeking through the window, the strands weak beneath the shadows. Only a whisper of my escalated breath can be heard over the pounding in my chest. It takes several seconds to remember where I am. And the moment it registers, the hairs on the back of my neck rise. Someone’s watching me. Slowly, I sit up, my eyes adjusting to the darkness that’s pressing in around me. I turn my head to look out of the window, light rain pattering against it. Lightning washes the old room in a flash of bright light, and I take the brief moment to get a good look around. No one is in here—at least not that I can see. But I feel the weight of eyes on me, searing the side of my face like a hot iron l
Alpha Leo's POV. It's been days, but it feels like weeks but we finally got a lead. I had to leave my children, they lost their mom and I had to leave them at the moment they needed me the most. But I had to find her, I had to find Lena. It was all my fault, I should've killed Lex right from the start, then none of this would've happened. He took her from right under our noses and by the time we noticed that she was missing, hours had passed and because he has Dahlia working with him, Freya can't locate them. She's also beating herself up too, because of her aunt. Vincent came in from New Orleans to help her and he brought in all the grimoires and some dark objects and they are both doing their best to track Dahlia, because she's the one that gives Lex power and if they take her down then we'll find Lena. I don't even want to think of the things that she could possibly be going through right now, because that would just bring me to my knees. Sin
Alpha Leo's POV. I took Rey down to his basement and luckily for me, he had everything I could possibly need to get some answers out of him, the sick son of a bitch. The bloody scalpel clatters against the metal tray, and Ray’s groans fill the air. He didn’t find it humorous when I started playing “Bodies” by Drowning Pool to drown out his incessant screaming. Halfway into his torture session, he informed me that Lena wasn't with Led anymore. Apparently my girl proved too stubborn for him so he sent her away to be taught obedience but the idiot is now being tight on the details of where they took her. “I need names Rey, names and a location.” I tell him as I turn up the dial of the battery again and he starts to struggle and then I stop. Wires are attached to Ray’s chest, leading to a machine designed specifically to restart a heart the second it stops. I’ve killed Ray via asphyxiation twice now. The second his heart stops beating, my machine brings
Lena's POV. I'm awake but my eyes aren't open, but I'm pretty sure that someone is watching me. I don't move, I stay still and let whoever it is get closer, when I feel their breath on me, I open my eyes. “You have such pretty hair,” a soft, whimsical voice says from behind me. Inhaling sharply, I whip around, startled from the unexpected intrusion. She looks familiar, I try to remember where I've seen her before and then it clicks. It’s her, she's the one that was passed out. The girl that was being carried over that man's shoulder when I first arrived. The girl with eyes like both fire and ice, and the same creepy smile tipping up her lips that she’s currently wearing. Long silver hair curls around her waist, that reminds me of khalessi in game of thrones and deep brown eyes stare at me from the doorway. She’s slightly hunched and terribly skinny. I’m standing at the full-length mirror, attempting to French braid my hair. Frank rudely awoke
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'
