Damien’s POVIrina was still sleeping as Logan continues to tell me that mommy’s pack were in his dreams, talking about hunting him down. He was shaking as he speaks, tears forming in his purple eyes as he keeps glancing at a sleeping Irina.“Daddy, they are coming.”“I won’t let them hurt you. I won’t let them take you.” I pull him towards me on the bed, as his tears run down his face.“You can’t stop them.”He snuggles in between Irina and I, his breathing heavy. He may not be the next Blood Alpha, but he was connected to them just as much as Irina and I wondered if he would be able to listen in on their plans. As the tears stop and he settles down, holding my hand. He tells me he is scared.“Don’t be, I will protect you with all of my heart.”He buries into me, his sniffling eventually turning to quiet snores, and I watch as his chest rises and falls with each breath.I wake Irina when I am certain that Logan is deeply asleep, repeating to her what he told me. First she looked at m

Damien’s POVI lost sight of her; it was impossible to keep an eye on my mate without being taken down. Our numbers had grown in the last two years, and I hoped there would be enough of us to keep them at bay. They were bigger and slower than us and in the last two years, I had requested everyone step up their training, we had to be better and it had paid off. We were faster, stronger and quicker than ever, all in preparation for this day.Some of their pack run by me and the wolf I was fighting, I briefly see Irina’s wolf charge towards the packhouse, she had Raine back.I didn’t have chance to link her as the wolf I am fighting tackles me to the ground, snapping my arm as he crashes down on top of me. The pain shoots all the way up my arm and into my neck as I shove him from me.“You will pay for that.” I roar at him and plunge my teeth into his neck, tearing out his throat and spitting it in his face. He crumbles to the ground as I snap my arm back, waiting for the bones to start h

Irina’s POVLogan sits quietly with me as I close my eyes, listening to Damien and Kendra. Even I’m surprised when he tells Kendra that its time to tell the world of our existence.“Did daddy really say that?” Logan whispers in my ear and I peer at him with one eye.“Sometimes to make ourselves better, we have to accept change.”He screws his face up at me, trying to understand what I was saying and I was about to explain when I hear Kendra yell at Damien.“My daughter is dead! Don’t try and stir up some shit that I don’t need!”“Kendra, I don’t think she is. You said yourself Gunnar took her away from you and brought her back after he showed Ketill, whose to say he didn’t switch her for another newbor?”“Don’t you think I would have considered that? She is gone Damien!”She pushes her way back into my room, slamming the door in his face. If she had been a pack member, Damien’s reaction would be very different, instead he mutters “humans” and walks away.Kendra flops down in the chair

Damien’s POVI couldn’t ask Logan to do such a thing and what if he did it and it turned up nothing, everything would have been a waste of time, thankfully Irina understood that I didn't want him to use his abilities.The girls come running in and jump up to me, I loved all the hugs they gave. Since Logan had grown, he didn’t want the hugs as much and preferred a fist bump.“Daddy, come play” they speak in unison, their deep green eyes piercing my own as they grinned and as I lower them to the ground, they tug at my hands, as I allow them to pull me out towards their room.Turning the corner, the girls scream as we come face to face with Logan. Irina comes running out and grabs Logans hands, dropping to her knees as she tries to pull him from his trance. His eyes were a solid white and I call for an omega to take the girls. We hadn’t seen Logan like this in years.“Logan!”He doesn’t respond and Irina goes into panic mode, tears streaming down her face as she whispers ‘don’t do this’

Damien’s POVTiana wouldn’t give me any details as to why she wanted us to stop looking for Lana. In fact, she made it very clear that it was non-negotiable. I had made the call first thing that morning when Irina had gone on a run. I didn’t need to look for her when I woke, it was clear what she was up to by her missing running trainers.Now she was being forced to choose between her best friend and her son.“Irina we have time.”She shakes her head at me when I tell her Tiana’s offer, “We don’t though do we; you see how Logan is getting, lately everything winds him up, he killed someone because he had had enough of them, that’s not normal child behaviour, even for a wolf!”“You are over thinking Irina, but you know as well as I do that this could destroy your friendship.”Tears fill her eyes as she fights between her decision. I was willing to make it for her but at the same time she probably knew what I would say.“I will call Kendra and Liam, ask them over for dinner tonight.” She
