"Leah, I’m going to break this glass and I need you to get out of here with the twins." I said, yanking off my shirt and wrapping it around my elbow. "Don’t argue with me." I continued as Leah opened her mouth to speak."What about you, Thia?" Theo asked, fixing his scared eyes on me. "You’re going to come with us, right?""That’s right, I’ll be right behind you, sweetie." I murmured, kissing his forehead. "Now, Leah shift!"Turning, I looked towards the glass that was facing the ferris wheel poles. That was the one that I needed to break to make an exit for Leah and the twins.Moving forward

Slowly, we spread it across our skin, being sure to use enough to cover the skin of our arms and faces. "Do you think this will work?" I asked as doubt began to claw at me. "We don’t know how many are in there.""Do you have a better idea?" Ashton snapped in annoyance. "Weren’t you the one that said that there wasn’t any time to waste?"He was right. I was the one that was insistent. I didn’t know if the twins were okay, and I needed to see them with my own eyes. I still couldn’t understand why someone would even want to kidnap them; they weren’t even part of

"What the hell happened here?" Ashton asked, bending down to pick up the twins who were still fast asleep.After the battle was over and it was safe, Ashton and I shifted back to our human forms.

I admitted, furrowing my brows.The twins didn’t even stir as Ashton positioned them in each of his arms. They must have been exhausted after that whole ordeal, and we would have to wait for answers."Come on." Ashton called over his shoulder at me.

Haidan and Antoine showed up shortly after Andrew left with Serenity in tow. I immediately felt bad for disturbing them when they had a newborn to care for."Are you okay?" Haidan asked, quickly rushing forward and grabbing my arms. "How about your sibling’s?""Everyone is fine." I assured her with a smile. "I’m sorry to have disturbed you.""Nonsense." Haidan snapped, cutting me off before I could say more. "I am an alpha and you are a member of my pack."Maybe that was the case, but I still felt bad involving her."Now, why don&

The next morning, I was woken by a soft tapping on my bedroom door. Jumping up, I rushed forward and yanked it open to find the twins standing in the hall smiling.A long sigh of relief escaped me as I bent down and hugged them. Although I was aware that they were home and safe, I couldn’t stop the emotion that overtook me in that moment. I guess I was much more shaken than I thought."Good morning." Theo said, struggling to break free of my hold. "You’re crushing me."Gasping, I let go and stood back up, all the while keeping my eyes fixed on the twins that were watching me with looks of confusion.
