A Bond That Lasts... Book 2

Help me help you son

Jake POV

Time jump since this is the last chapter before the epilogue!

Song is perfect for this and lyrics are as followed...

Well, I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge

I'm telling you that
It's never that bad
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And you're not sure
You can take this anymore

So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone

So just close your eyes
Well, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night

Stop thinking about
The easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come

So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone

So just close your eyes
Well, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Well, everybody's hit the bottom
And everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty-handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on

Just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone

So just close your eyes
Well, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

It's been a few years since Connor has been home and it has been hard. He used to wake up screaming and thrashing around on the bed, has ripped his IV's out, his bag in his belly and the tube in his bladder so he had to go back into surgery a few times because he would harm himself when he would do that. Scott had to sedate him quite a bit because of how he reacted when he woke up but I wished he didn't, Connor looked like he was fighting the demons in his sleep and wasn't getting rest, I hated seeing my baby boy like that.

I discovered the people who took him were from the same pack that came to challenge me and I killed one of their warriors so they had planned revenge on me by taking my son.

A couple were human and the rest wolves so Scott had to do an HIV test on Connor since we have no idea what all he went through or who hurt him.

I cried when I read the positive result, I cried so bad I stopped breathing and had to have a breathing tube in for a bit until I woke up because I passed out from not being able to breath.

When I was ok I ordered my brothers and their mates to stay in Connor's room and I went on a rampage and killed the Alpha and Beta that Jayden had brought back for questioning but it didn't get that far, once I found out my son was sick, there was no way I was letting them live.

I sent their heads to the pack with a note and sent my warriors and a few trackers over with the heads and had them kill the whole pack. I didn't give a flying fuck if they were innocent, innocent meaning not harming Connor physically but they knew he was there and were just as guilty as the rest so I didn't let them live.
