—Lachlan— I leave Lena and Killian alone and walk back to my room. The secrets revealed today have my mind in a mess, I can't imagine how Killian and Lena feel, especially with Mariana being dead. I walk into the room and Kate is already packing, well I can't call it packing, she's basically thrown open the wardrobe and dressers and our clothes are everywhere. Yeah I was expecting this, she's still mad about the wedding. I slam the door closed to alert her that I'm here and she Immediately stops what she's doing and looks at me and I can see the anger written all over her face. "Hey mi amore, where's Will?" I ask her, trying to start off with a safe topic and not go straight to the matter at hand. I'm hoping talking about our son that she loves so much will calm her down a little. "He's in Katharina's room helping her pack, he loves hanging out with her and she could also see that I needed a minute to myself." She tells me going back to throwing clothes on the b

—Lena— The smell, it's the first thing that hits me when we walk into the room, Marie is on the bed with her eyes closed, one might think she was just sleeping but the fact that she's been nearly mutilated will clear that assumption quickly. How could a human being do this to another person? How could Jeremy be capable of doing something like this and I didn't see it all these years. I walk up to the bed and just stare down at her, my Mariana, my big sister, my protector. Before the whole message with Killian, we were so close, we were thick as thieves. She was always there for me and she never let anyone or anything hurt me. But then we found out that I was Killian's mate and everything went to hell, my sister distanced herself from me and did everything possible to get me away from Killian and she actually succeeded, I was separated from him for eight years after he rejected me. But thinking about all the things she has done over th

—Elliott Bennett— Both Heather and Jeho walk back to where Alan and I are waiting. She has a basket by her side filled with wildflowers and Jeho is trying to take one out. "Stop it Jeho, the flowers are for Martha." She tells him trying to scold him but there's a smile on her face so it doesn't really work. Jeho is finally able to get a stem free and proceeds to put it behind her ear. "There, a flower as beautiful as you." He tells her and she blushes. Upon seeing this music wolf stands at attention and growls and I also growl but I immediately cover it up with a cough. "Hey, are you ok?" Alan asks me looking worried. "Yea, I'm fine." I tell him because I don't even understand what is going on right now, why is my wolf acting like this? "Hello brother, I see you decided to join Jeho in skipping classes today." She tells Alan trying to scold him but there's still a smile on her face, it's like she's incapable of smiling and not that I'm complaining, he

—Lena— I wake up and feel a little bit disoriented, it takes me a few minutes to get my bearings and when I finally do, everything starts crashing down on me again, the events of the last few days. Finding out about Lyanna, Jeremy's betrayal and Mari, Mari is dead. I look to my side and Killian is completely passed out, he looks so peaceful, my husband, he's being my rock through all this. I thought he would be like the old Killian and tell me he told me so and he warned me about Jeremy, but he never said anything. Instead he's being there with me through it all, constantly telling me that none of this was my fault even though it is. He's barely slept this past week and I don't want to wake him up, he needs his rest for what we have coming up. I try to go back to sleep, but my mind is so wired that I can't and plus the ambien has worn off. I try my best to get up from our makeshift bed carefully so as not to wake Killian up, I finally get up and he only stirs a little bu

—Killian— After breakfast, everyone sits at the table not wanting to move, knowing that once we get up from here, we are leaving our bubble that we have been in for the past few days and we're going to war. "I don't want to leave this house, I don't want to get up." Lena whispers but we can all hear her and we all murmur our agreement that we all feel the same way. "Once we leave, it's never going to be the same again, I just know it." Kate says and for the first time since I've known her, I swear I see tears welling up in her eyes. "We can't think like that, if we go into this fight having these kind of thoughts, then we've already lost." I tell them. "Killian's right we can't think of the worst case scenarios, we need to go into this fight with the mindset that we'll win and we'll all come out alive." Lachlan concurs. As the alpha I get up first knowing that if I don't do it nobody else will. "Ok, we know the plan, we're packed, so how about everyone get r
