Derek povHe actually lept towards Mia but my dad caught him by the neck and squeezed lifting him up in the air."Wrong move fucker, he growled loud, that is my daughter in law",he tossed him against the wall and it cracked."You okay angel?",I watched her shake."Yes I'm good. Is Luke okay?",I nodded as I pointed to him."He got caught by a warrior he loved it",she sighed."Is it over Derek?",her voice trembled as she moved closer to me shaking."One escaped angel the rest are dead",she whimpered and put her face in my neck. I held her closer then moved her back and kissed her lips as I walked back to her hospital room. She was a mess. Luke was quiet but looked better as my dad held him close. Hannah was all doctor as she tended to the injured. "I'm exhausted, she whimpers in my neck,I just want to sleep for a week",I knew the feeling but we were on the hunt for the escaped fucker that was after my mate. He left his friends behind and ran. I wanted to go after him but dad said no Mia

Derek povWe started early the next day talking battle plans and I was frustrated. I took Mia and Luke home about four in the morning and was back up at eight to head to the meeting room. The vampires were all there and most looked ready to fight."So today is discussion day",is blurted out as soon as I sit."Yes, I yawn, we need to go over battle plans and how to be extremely sneaky",they look amused."Sneaky?",Is chuckled out."Yes sneaky as in sneak attacks and so forth",they look amused."Our covens arrived this morning and are ready",I smiled."Our allies are on the way and by late tonight will arrive ",I sigh."How is your dad?",I sigh sadly."Resting",they nod."He will be fine Derek we promise. Now that we gave blood it will go away and he will be in remission forever ",I was thankful but also hurt he never told me he was ill. I was hurt my mom and dad kept this from me. We talked more till all I did was yawn and we called it quits. I headed home to Mia but ran into Jon on the

Derek povWe attacked each and each hit hurt but I won't show it. This is literally a fight to the death and we both know it. "Your mate will be mine",he gloats."Your life will end here fucker",I punch him in the ribs making him stagger back and wheeze. I know that hurt I let Ryder put his strength into it. "You know your no match for us and the hunters Derek, I growl as he kicks my side and I stagger some, we will kill you and your whole family ",I ignore his talking as another rogue jumps at me. I slash his throat and he falls dead at my feet."Impressive alpha ",is said sarcastically. "Give up now",I kill another rogue followed by another as their leader stands and watches. He has no compassion or care for his rogue pack at all. A true alpha would mourn each loss."Your a shit alpa, I start and his nostrils flare, your brothers were shit as well. A true alpha mourns any pack member loss while you stand watching them fall. Your a disgrace to our kind",he snarls as some of his pac

Derek povI carried Mia home against doctors orders because being there made me worry. Debbie seemed unhinged and I didn't trust it so I went home. Getting there I locked up and hit the button for the protective panels to engage. I put Mia to bed and looked in on our pups before showering and pulling on sweats. "Son, my dad mind links, did you leave the hospital?",I sighed. "Yes dad, I mind link back, Debbie is unhinged I needed to be home to protect Mia better. I am having her tracked",he sighed. "Okay be careful, he links back, I'm explaining all this to your mom",fuck my mom loves Debbie. I check to make sure I locked everything before setting the alarms. The protective panels are down so I feel somewhat better. Debbie could try to hurt my mate or my pups. I know damn well mom may try to talk sense into her. Mia povI wake to every panel down in our home and I'm still confused on how we got here. I get up and head to the kitchen hungry for French toast today. Derek is already th

Derek povI use the tunnels to get to my dad who is pacing and in tears. My siblings are in bed and he hands me the note and my mind races. Lucas and Mitch walk in and look at the note. "We got men out looking and we will find her Levi, Lucas hugs him, we promise",my dad sits with a sad sigh as we watch. He looks broken now."I can't go on without her",he says to no one and I hold in my roar of anger."We will find mom dad don't you dare give up",he sighed. "I will try to not give up but if I lose her I don't know if...",he stopped talking as Lucas hissed and stalked over to him."Your not giving up my friend, he made dad look at him, do you hear me Derek? Your never giving up we all need you and care for you my friend ",dad nods as tears fill his eyes. My dad barely cries but the possibility of losing your other half is heartbreaking. I sit beside him as Lucas makes calls and Mitch talks to their trackers. Vampires have a keener scene of smell and can find anyone easily."Dad we wil
