Alpha Leo's POV. I smile as I close the door behind me, I can't help it, it just makes me happy that after all these years, I still make her flustered, I still have an effect on her which is a good thing, if none of it affected her then that's when we'd have a problem. I drop my bags in room and then walk back to the living room to find Freya but she's not there but I hear sounds in the kitchen so I head there next. “Hey you. What you up to?” I asked her. “Trying to see what I'll make for lunch.” She tells me. “Ok, what are the options?” I asked her. “Pasta or beef stew and rice with a side salad.” She tells me. “How about beef stew, we had pasta last night.” I tell her and she turns around and smiles. “We? You know I didn't want to say anything in front of her. Are the both of you together?” She asks me. “No, we're not. We are the farthest thing from together.” I tell her. “Oh, then dinner together was what?” She asked
Lena's POV. After explaining the whole situation to Zoey, she wasn't happy with it, but she understood, Zeo was freaking ecstatic and he didn't try to hide it when he found out he would be spending more time with Zoey at the house. I said my goodbyes and promised to call back at night to talk to the kids. I opened up my suitcase and brought out a change of clothes, I already checked the bathroom and Freya was kind enough to lay out some fresh towels for me. I take all my bath supplies and head into the bathroom for a shower, since I have no where to be at the moment, I take my time and scrub off. By the time I step out my hands are wrinkled from the heat. I tie up my hair in a towel and then tie another one and step out if the bathroom only to be met with a surprise. “Ah! Leo you scared me half to death, what are you doing in my room? Why didn't you knock?” I asked him. “I'm sorry for scaring you and I did knock, but you didn't answer and I got worried.” He
Lena's POV. After Lunch, I went to my room to get some shut-eye before we had to leave. I left Leo and Freya alone; they've been apart for six years I'm sure they have a lot to talk about. Try as I might, I wasn't able to sleep, I just kept on tossing and turning on the bed. My mind couldn't just quiet down and as much as I didn't want to think about it, my mind kept on going back to what Freya said about her vision. I'd like to believe that I've forgiven Leo but the truth is, that whole situation isn't so easy to forget, even though I want nothing more than to forget and move on, I can't. So Freya saw a vision of me and Leo together with our kids, but in her vision he called me Selene. So I guess Leo picking Scarlett over me, kind of screwed the whole thing up. I don't know what kind of hold that woman has in him, or it might just be that he really loves her, because he knew there was a chance that she couldn't be the woman in the vision but he still took that chance and c
Lena's POV. Leo joined us and we left the house, he's had this smug look on his face ever since we left the house. I'm sure he caught me ogling him, but it's not my fault, it's my wolf, I don't know what's wrong with her but she seems to have forgotten that we don't like Leo, I'm going to have a serious talk with her when we get back to the house. But thankfully, Leo offered to drive and Freya is up front with him and my wolf is quiet. The drive from the house to the chapel is about twenty minutes. The chapel can only be described as gothic, it has the stoned statues of angels and gargoyles that you feels like they're watching you and of course the stained glass and the bell tower on top. We get down from the car and I get a very weird feeling. “Sorry to say, but does any one else feel off about this place?” I asked both Leo and Freya. “Those are the spirits.” Freya says like it's something normal. “I'm sorry, what spirits?” I asked her. “Remem
Lena's POV. “Ok, that sounds ominous, let's go into my office and talk.” He tells us and then he turns around and starts walking and we follow behind him. Leo keeps looking at me and I can see the worry in his eyes, but I can't afford to think about what Vincent said, not right now, my mind can only handle one earth shattering crises at a time and now my mind is focused on finding a cure. And which knows maybe by the time we find a cure Vincent would've gotten a clearer vision and what it means. Vincent opens a door and we step into his office, it just like any other office, it has windows, a huge desk and some chairs and bookshelves. I don't know, I guess I was expecting it to look more witchy, you know some sage in the air, herbs hanging around, especially for the leader of the witch faction. “Please, have a seat.” Vincent tells us. We each take a seat, opposite him on the other side of his desk. “Ok, what is this talk about a pack getting wipe
Lena's POV. Vincent leaves the office to go and get the younger lady, we still don't know her name. “Freya are you ok?” I ask her, because she keeps staring at one point on the wall. “It's all my fault.” She whispers but we can hear her. “What are you talking about?” Leo asked, he looks worried. “I never should've trusted them with the grimoires, I should've taken them with the rest and then none of this would've happened.” She says as she starts pacing up and down the office and then Leo gets up and halts her. “Listen to me, none of this is your fault. Don't even think it at all, this was done by someone that wants to hurt me, so if they didn't get their hands in this spell, they would've done something else. The only person to blame here is me. And we should see this as something good because they used this particular spell, it led me back to you and it gives us the upper hand in stopping them. So I don't want to hear any talk about this being y
Alpha Leo's POV. “No, I can't do that, he'll be able to tell that something is wrong.” Anna says. I get up from my seat and squat in front of her so we are facing each other. “I'm going to tell you something, those pages that your brother ripped from the grimoire and probably sold to the wrong person. One of those spells has been used on my pack, and everyone is getting sick and dying, including children, children that haven't had the chance to actually live. So we need to get to your brother and find out who he sold it to. I know you're a good person, you never meant for any of this to happen, so I'm asking you to put yourself together, long enough for us to get to your brother, can you do that for me Anna?” I ask her. “Yes, yes I can.” She says and she wipes the tears from her face and I get up. “Good, then I guess we should be leaving.” I tell everyone. I look at Vincent and he has this pissed look on his face ever since he found out about Anna's brother an
Alpha Leo's POV. Anna looks like she's in a daze and Lena has to literally drag her to the car while I throw Dylan over my shoulder and high tail it to the car before anyone spots us. Vincent must've seen us coming because by the time we get to the car, he already has the trunk open and I lay Dylan inside. “I take it he didn't want to come using the easy way.” He says. “Yea, he didn't.” I tell him and then we close the trunk. Freya is at the back with Lena and Anna, they're both trying to calm Anna down. “What happened back there?” Vincent asks as he drives away from the club, he looks worried, too worried, it maybe I'm just seeing things. “Everything was going according to plan but then after we got him out of the club he got suspicious and Anna isn't a good liar under pressure, he could tell that she was lying so we had to use the powder on him and when he passed out, Anna freaked out. You know it's one thing talking about it and then it'
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'
