A/N: NOT EDITED.

Chapter 39 – Harrison ‘Wolf’ Colt POV

Shell-shocked, my wolf whined, a part of myself I had otherwise ignored, cracked, further more, my eyes staring where Logan once was, darting back to the picture of the girl in the photo. Mine. Both mine. No. I stumbled back. Impossible. I had to get out of here; I couldn’t be in the room with that picture and his scent. I couldn’t think there, so leaving my office I bounded right into North – our Treasurer – but one look at my face stopped his words and he averted his eyes as I left. Storming down, I went to the bar, I needed a drink, that was what I needed, and for all these fuckers to stop gawking at me.

How didn’t I see it before? The question slipped into my mind, infuriating me, the glass in my hand breaking around my fist. “Oy Wolf, Boss – the fuck?” one of my men questioned backing off when I turned my glare on him. She’s gone. Another thought hit me, knocking the air out of my lungs. I jabbed my hand behind the bar, grabbing the Jack Daniels, and heading back to my office, drinking from the bottle, enjoying the burn as the brown liquid slipped hot, down my throat. The stinging heat, I liked, I held onto it, I savored it; my pacing turned into stumbling, while I drank and avoided the picture on the table. The more I drank the more the similarities shouted out at me. The more hurt I felt, until the anger was boiling inside me, but I couldn’t stand to take it out on anyone.

Years. For years he had searched for his sister. I had met him nearly five years ago, showing me a picture of some eight year old. My eight year old, the thought strange, wrong. He was wrong. I thought lying on the floor, turning my head unsteadily to the side to drink the last of my bottle of Jack, “Fwuk,” I cursed when it fell missing my mouth, my tongue darting out to catch it, “Nush wime,” I slurred my head rolling to the side.

Carla Ryan POV

Crushed, Tony and I left the Luna and Alpha’s office, their guard walking us to the door, then another walking us to the gate. Silently I stood outside, I didn’t know when Kieran would be returning but I would wait for him. My face still pinched, Marlon walked up to the gates, “What is the matter?” he asked folding his arms at his chest. While I would have rather Tony remained silent, just speaking quietly to Kieran he decided to answer Marlon.

“They are children Marlon! They’ve moved our child into their home, without so much as seeking our approval!” he growled, Marlon nodded slowly but his eyes I could tell were not on our side, “I think you should step back, and see this from my own perspective,because from where I am standing I support the Luna and Alpha asking Kieran to move in here especially since all we’ve shown them is that we do not deserve to live here. Under my own nose someone was being abused here, and two of the abusers came from your own home,” Marlon said.

“Do you know the history of our Luna?” he asked not giving us a chance, “I’m not surprised that she has taken Kieran under her wing when she was beaten to within an inch of her life when she was just a child. Further more, you as parents cannot control Kieran, I as someone in charge could not order or command Kieran. The Luna and Alpha will be able to do that; they will offer him a safe environment and rules that will in the long run keep him safe. As a parent, I would look to that fact, where will my child be safe? In my home where I cannot control him and the other strong personalities of my other children will end in clashes?” I glanced at Tony, his arms against his own chest unbending, but for a moment, thinking of the safety of all my children, I could understand.
