Allison's POV "How are they?" Walking into the room, I asked Tiana."They were tranquilized to sleep. Two of them..." She shook her head dejectedly. Sighing I nodded. All my years as Luna, this is the most difficult part of the job. Having to console a wolf who lost their partner. It is a feeling that I hope to never experience. Some weres are never able to heal from such and they end up being aggressive. "Where are they?" I asked referring to the weres that have shown aggressive tendencies. "We took them downstairs." I frowned but I trusted Tiana's judgment. She wouldn't have done that if there was another option. Seeing my frown, she continued "One of them, Hannah had attacked a guard. He is being treated. Honestly Al, I am worried about the lady, unlike the others, she neither cried nor screamed. And the worst part, she is with a pup." What?!"No one had expected her to become aggressive, the only reason Ayla and I had brought her down here was because we heard her mate was in
Sophia's POV The ringing of my phone had woken me up. The thought that the caller might be Alexios had me awake almost immediately. "Hi." I hated how disappointed my voice had sounded."Hi Sophia. How are you doing? I called twice earlier but your mom said you were sleeping." Skylar sounded concerned and worried which only made me feel even worse."Yeah. I was stressed both mentally and physically so I slept it off." I hadn't realized how long I had slept for not until I looked at my phone. "As long as you are okay." Skylar sighed relieved. "I am okay I promise. So what about you? How are you doing?" I have to be the worst friend in existence. I had totally forgotten to check in on Skylar, all I had in mind all day was Alexios. "I am doing well. We had been all worried earlier when dad left for work only to come back with news that something strange was happening. It was crazy because no one seemed to know what was happening but I think it is all cool now. From my window, I can s
Allison POV "They are here." Announced a pack member as we watched their cars drive in. 'He is home and nothing else matters.' I thought as I watched their car pull over.Sobs from some pack members could be heard as the corpses of the falling heroes were brought out. Their remains are proof of how ruthless those rogues are. Swallowing, I moved forward to open the car in which my husband and Alpha is in."Hey baby." I greeted him as I took him in. His left leg was wrapped up from above the knee down to his toes. I swallowed back the tears once more."Thank you for coming back to me." I mind-linked him. I knew saying that out loud would have made some pack members frown at me. Some had lost families, lost friends, lost their mates, in this fight. The pack has lost some really good members so if they heard my selfish remark, they would definitely not be happy about it."The desire to see your lovely face had been the only reason I fought to return." He confessed as he took my hand pull
Sophia's POVIt was already 9 PM and mom had locked up. Since dad traveled, we would always make sure we locked the doors early to avoid any intruder from coming in. While we sat in the living room, we heard a knock. "Who could be at the door at this hour?" Mom asked and I shrugged. I wasn't expecting anyone to visit except Alexios."Could it be him?" I asked when we suddenly heard his voice."It is me, Alexios. Please open the door." His voice had me sprinting toward the door as I pulled it open to let him inside."Hey baby." He whispered as he looked at me smiling. I hugged him, I felt like he needed a hug. Although he was smiling, he looked unhappy, sad."I am going to give you kids some privacy but don't go making kids in my absence." Said mom which made Alexios chuckle while I blushed scarlet. Can she not embarrass me?"I missed you." He whispered as his hands stayed wrapped up around my waist."And I missed you too." I told him truthfully. Although our day hadn't gone as planned
Sophia's POV"So?" Although Alexios asked, I felt like he already knew the answer. The small smile playing on his lips, and the mischievousness of his gaze made me pause."Did you hear I and mom's talk?" I asked him. The possibility is low, I had left him in the living room and moreover, when I went into mom's room, I had shut the door after myself."Why? Was I meant to hear something?" He is lying. Alexios is an awful liar. When he lies, he avoids eye contact, he would always looks anywhere but at me, at my eyes, and he tends to stammer a little.Deciding to ignore it, as calling him out on his lie would only further embarrass him at being caught on eavesdropping, I held onto his hand as we both walked to my room. "I doubt I have a suitable pajama here that you can use." I spoke as I rummaged through my wardrobe looking for anything to give him. Should I have asked mom for dad's pajama's? Would that even be right?"I actually prefer sleeping without clothes on." He whispered behind
I woke up to an empty bed, 'Where is he?' I wondered as I listened thinking maybe he was in the bathroom, but no matter how long I listened, there was no sound coming from the bathroom.I stepped out of the room and found mom eating an apple. "Good morning mom." I greeted her with a smile."Good morning princess. How was your night?" She asked winking and I blushed."Good mom, it was good." Looking around, "Mom where is Alexios?" I asked her."He left quite early this morning, he said something came up and he needed to go. He asked me to tell you as he didn't want to wake you up." I nodded biting my lips.'Hopefully everything is alright with him.' I knew there was more to what he had told me last night, but since he wasn't willing to share much, I decided to trust and wait for him."What is for breakfast?" I asked walking into the kitchen."Cereals." I hummed as I went to pour some for myself. "Your dad will be back today." Mom informed me and I grinned. 'I have missed him.' The new
"Dad you have got to stop talking, you need every bit of strength you can muster to fight this. And besides you are scaring me." I cried as I pleaded but his weak eyes just stared back at me."Sweetheart, promise me you will leave here. It will hurt but you have to endure and leave. When he is stronger, when he can protect you, or when and if you finally can meet that part of you you are yet to meet, then you can come back. I don't want you to become a pawn in the battle of strength. Please promise me." I cried even more hearing his plea."I promise dad, I promise." He nodded as he looked visibly relieved. Mom pushed the door as she walked in, her eyes red. She walked over and held his hands."You are so cruel." She told him and dad chuckled weakly."I am glad I get to live life with you. Take care of our dynamite." Mom nodded, she was holding back herself from not breaking. Her palm on dad's cheek."I love you baby, and I am honored to have been by your side." She told him as she fi
Millie's POVWhen I heard the car been driven off, I had looked out the window thinking if I should call them and demand she returns back."Where do you think they are heading to this late?" Erica, Skylar's mom who had insisted on sleeping in the room together with me asked and I sighed."To seek comfort." It had been shocking to not see Alexios throughout the day, but I had held myself back from asking as I feared it might only hurt my daughter even more."Then we should go back to sleep. They should be fine." I nodded. Erica and her husband had told me the whole town was packed with security walking around making sure there were no threats to anyone. 'She will be fine' I assured myself as I took a deep breath and followed Erica to sit on the bed. I know I wouldn't be sleeping at least not until they return home.Looking at the room I once shared with my husband, all the fond memories we made in this room together had me in tears. I sat quietly at his favorite chair and cried, cried
