The crowd murmured for a bit before everywhere became silent again.“It is for your safety, not mine. Also, if you would like to join us in defending our valley, then you should stay behind and meet me here. This same time, next week. It is not a compulsory call to duty. It is your choice to stay and fight or to leave. I wouldn’t want anybody getting hurt and leaving their family behind because I ordered them to do so. Lastly, if you have Roland’s son, I need him returned to his father” he saidHe got down from the podium and walked towards his car where Xavier and Louis caught up with him. He took a deep breath before turning to face them“You did amazing out there” Xavier said“I don’t know, Xavi. I don’t know how long I can keep these people from acting out on their own free will. I am not giving them the results they want” Jared said“If you did that, that would make them the ruler of the valley and not you. You can’t always give them what they want” Xavier said to himJared nodde

She held his gaze and looked at her“I mean, yeah. We have been apart for a while now and it has been affecting us really bad. I want us to fix things, I want is to fix our broken bonds. We are expecting a child soon and I don’t want my child growing up, thinking that I don’t love his or her mother. I do love you. At times, it is just hard to express how I feel because of my past and all of that but never doubt the fact that I do love you and I would do anything to make sure that you are fine!” He said to her“Jared, you are asking me to stay in your room, not asking me to marry you” she teased“I know, I just need you to know how much you mean to me. I hope nothing ever comes between us because I want to build a home with you. When all of this is over, I would ask you to marry me” he said to herShe smiled at him and he lifted her face to meet his. He kissed her softly then he applied a little pressure to the kiss. She leaned into him and let him take the lead. His hands moved from h

He looked at her. She was always trying to help him out no matter what. He walked up to her and held her arms before kissing her on her forehead“I guess a distraction is exactly what I need. Get dressed and meet me in the living room. I would wait for you there” he saidShe squealed and her eyes shone with excitement as she ran to her bedroom to change her clothes. She came down in a beautiful black dress and he looked at her, surprised“I bought you this dress. Where have you been hiding it?” He asked her“I wasn’t hiding it. I just thought it would be too revealing and it wouldn’t be my size but I guess I was wrong” she said“Yes, you were. Come on, you need to show off this beauty and..”He wasn’t done talking when the front door opened and Roland walked into the house“Jared! You have to help me! I woke up this morning and I couldn’t find my son anywhere. It is like he vanished from his bed and he is no where to be found!” he said“I know it wasn’t going to take so long before so

Xavier nodded at him because he agreed with it. There was no reason to bring the Crescents into this until it was extremely necessary. Xavier decided to give Roland a call in Jared’s presence and Roland said he’d be there as soon as he can. Xavier hung up “What is on your mind?” Jared asked“I don’t know. All of this, something just doesn’t feel right anymore. You were right. The silence was unaccounted for. Why were they silent only to start now?” Xavier asked “Because they needed people to think that they had stopped. They need to complete the ritual. They killed four boys from the crimson pack. They need four more and you have been sending them away. They figured that if they decided to put a pause on things and let it die down, things would go back to the way they were and they would strike again. We have reports of four boys missing already. Just between last night and this morning, four boys have been missing from the valley” Louis said as she walked into the study “And I tho

“Then we would find a way to get her back. Jared, I understand what it means to lose somebody that you love! I just lost Laura! I know what it means to lose someone that you love but these people are not after Alice. They had it all planned out right from the beginning and we walked right into their trap. Our going to check out Henry’s grave was all planned out, their showing up was to distract us and waste our time so that they can get whatever it is that they were doing here done while there was nobody to stop them” Xavier said“I would kill every one of them and whoever stands in my way would die alongside! I would make sure that they beg for mercy and I would show none! Nobody will be forgiven! I will kill them all!” Jared growled as his eyes glowedThe doors to the study opened up and Louis stood there, looking at Jared“I can’t find her but I reached out to the ancestral world. Since we consecrated my sister, she is one of the ancestors and although the ancestors want nothing to
