LOGAN POV
"How are you feeling?" I asked, tightening my grasp on her hand. I hadn't let go the entire time we started walking home. She still had the wolfsbane running through system so she was unable to shift. I offered her ride on my back but she declined.
"I'm good," She glanced at me to give me a small smile. She looked skinnier and her skin was a little paler than normal. It worried me and i felt the need to tend to her immediatly. But i couldn't do that until we get back home and i see to Boss and Seth.
I wasn't sure when i should apologize to her. She hasn't brought it up yet and neither have i. I don't want to incase she forgot about it and wanted me because i'm sure she still hates me. "I never want to see you again." Her words ringing in my ears made me frown. I hope that wasn't true.
But the most important thing to me right now was getting her back to normal. I want that girl i met while on holiday. Not this fragile, weak girl. I want that girl whose voice was filled with confidence and strength. Not this girl whose voice sounds as though she's trying to reassure herself.
Looking up, my frown deepened when i saw my sister and cousin walking silently next to their mates. Boss was had his arms tied around his back with Ty holding it in place. Seth had the same while Colton was holding his arms. They were both looking down, both shocked and confused on what to do.
Colton had recovered pretty fast. We were going to get the bullet out of his calf before the wound healed over it but he said to leave it. Apparantly it's cool to him. But what will happen when he goes through customs in airports?

Getting to Masons pack house, i was extremely suprised to see my father and mother waiting for us. Our warriors had gone home but my parents had stayed back. But judging at how my mother was talking with Britanny before we were seen, they looked like close friends. However, my father had a light snarl on his face as he stood by my mother, obvisouly not approving of the two Lunas relationship.
When we were seen, Britanny and my mother ran to us before engulfing their kids into huge hugs. I stumbled back a bit but regained posture and tightened my grip. "I'm so glad you're ok." She mumbled in my neck. I chuckled and pulled back, my smile getting wider as i saw my mother engulf Grace into a hug.
It made my day to see this. I never thought my mother would approve of my mate and dispised of Grace as much as dad. But the way she held Graces' face with such a worried motherly expression made me know that my mother would accept Grace like her own.
My father slowly came towards us and stopped in front of us. He nodded at me but i was sick and tired of him always nodding at me, acting as though i were not his son. I pulled him into a hug and chuckled when i felt him tense. I know that if my father hadn't had shown up then Grace wouldn't have been here.
"Thanks dad," I mumbled.
He awkwardly patted my back, "Uhhh, it's fine son." I pulled back and gave him a cheeky grin. He rolled his eyes and his next action shocked us all. He legit went up to Grace and patted her shoulder. He patted her shoulder!! He gave her a small smile. "I hope you're okay?"
She smiled back and nodded, "Thanks Alpha." He nodded and that little scene that had shocked me, my mother and Mason (who had just arrived at his daughters side) ended. Was i was flabbgased and that made my week! I hope that this it the beginning of friendship and forgiveness.
"Hey guys," Hazel came and hugged my mother, a small smile on her lips. She hugged my father and he gave her a look that clearly read 'we'll talk about this soon'. She nodded and walked off towards the pack house.
Everyone had left to the pack house leaving Grace and i standing alone together with Mason standing beside her. He gave me a look stating that we had some business to sort out. I nodded and turned back to Grace.
"You go clean up and get some rest. I'll be there soon. You're safe now." I said, holding both of her hands in mine.
She smiled, "Yeah, okay." I leaned in to hug her and when we pulled back, i gave her a kiss on the cheek. We haven't had our first kiss first and i plan on doing that soon. With one last smile, she began her walk towards the pack house.
"Get eat something too!" I yelled at her. She turned around to show me her grin before jogging through the front door and dissapearing. I turned back to Mason and walked beside him as he led me towards the back of the house. "I'll just like to apologize on behalf of my pack for the loss of your warriors." I started off, meaning every word. "They will forever be remembered and i will forever be grateful for theit help."
"No need to apologize, Logan. Your mate is my daughter. We would've gone into war even if she wasn't your mate." He gave me a small smile but i knew that he was truely sad about the men he lost today. I would've been too but then again they're warriors, it's what they do.
"So where are they all?" I asked, deciding to change the subject.
"In the cells."
HAZEL POV
As soon as we arrived at the field i knew that my mate was somewhere here. I smelt him immediatly and my wolf was going crazy inside of me. She was on a buzz, wanting to kill all those rouges so she could get to her mate faster.
But i never would have thought my mate was the leader of the group of rouges. My brother fight with the leader had me interested but it never crossed my mind that that man is who i would call mine.
I was ashamed and dissapointed. My mate is the man who my brother wants to murder. It isn't the happiest family relationship i guess but i'm still not going to allow anyone to harm my mate. He's lucky that i am his mate otherwise he would've been dead but now.
But i was glad that Bianca also found her mate who turned out to be Boss' little brother, Seth. We could work through this together and defend our boys.
Walking through the house, i went through the back door and towards the side of the house where there was a basement door. I walked through and down the stairs to meet Cole and Ty. They both gave me a small smile but i ignored them and walked towards my mates cell.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, knees apart with his elbows resting on them. He rubbed his face as i stared intently at him. Although that scar should be a put off, i found it sexy, showing his wild side. He suddenly looked up and stared at me back, a small smile on his lips. I smiled back but turned around when i heard crying.
Bianca was in front of another cell with Seth standing in front of her but behind the bars of course. He held onto the bars with a frown on his lips as he stared at his mate, unable to do anything.
I watched as Logan soon entered the room with Mason following close behind. Sure i didn't like the guy for what he had done but the past is the past. I believe we should just move on and not get left behind.
Bianca quickly wiped her tears and turned around, letting her back face Seth. Hurt flashed across his face before he looked down.
"What are you guys doing down here?" Logan growled.
"To see our mates," I shrugged, crossing my arms over my chest. We had every right to be down here.
"I don't want yous down here. It's too dangerous, Hazel" He shook his head. "Cole, take them up st-"
"No! I have every right to be here, Logan. I'm not going anywhere." I growled back, but Biance left the room in a hurry. She's taking thie quite harshly, more than me. Cole ran after her and soon Ty left, leaving my brother, Mason and i. "Give me ten minutes to talk to him." I blurted.
"What the hell? No way!" He argued.
"Come on, brother. Just ten minutes with my mate." I pleaded and i soon felt warm as Boss came to stand beside me.
"I won't hurt her, i promise." His voice was also pleading and nodded. I know he won't hurt me...well not intentionally.
Logan stared at us for while before finally sighing and nodding. "We will be out here if you need anything." He stated, walking over to Boss' cell. I nodded and walked into the interigation room and sat down on one of the two chairs.
Soon the door opened and Boss slowly walked to the other chair before sitting down. There was silence for a while but he soon broke it. "So, Hazel is it?" I shivered in pleasure when he said my name.
I nodded, "What's your real name?" I know that his name isn't Boss. That's just too weird and it didn't suit him at all.
"That's the old me. Boss." He mumbled, losing eye contact.
"I want the old you," I whispered, moving my hand to overlap his. His eyes immediatly snapped to mine and narrowed. I just couldn't get over the sparks that were flowing through my body as we held hands.
"Grant." He grumbled, beginning to play with my hands. I smiled, loving our relationship. "Your brother wants to kill me, right?" He suddenly asked, still fixated on my dirty hand. No one was showered or changed after the fight yet.
I sighed, "Yeah, he does. But why'd you do it?" I asked, pulling my hand back. He froze and looked up to meet my eyes.
"You wouldn't understand." He stood up harshly and turned his back to me. I stood up slowly, cautious. He wasn't going to tell me anything and i knew that. But what he's forgetting is that i was raised as an Alpha. My father had taught me the ways to get the truth out of someone and right now only one seemed possible to me.
Anger it out of him.
"You're right. You're probably too much of a pussy to tell me." His back went tense but he remained silent. "That's probably why you did it. A bigger pussy than anyone here."
"Stop!" He growled lowly but i kept on going. Never back down unless you have your answer.
"Why should i stop? Afraid you're half the man your mother ever was?" I knew that one struck hard. How did i know? Well, in the next second or so, i was pinned to the wall. His body was shaking and he punched the wall beside my head, creating a hole.
"Don't..." He inhaled, "Ever talk about my mother like that again or..." He trailed off, clenching his fist in front of my face. Clearly he loves his mother dearly. But where is she? Was she aware of the things he was doing?
"Then tell me the reason for your doings. You can trust me." I whispered, staring intently into his black eyes. I noted that it would be very hard for me to be able to tell when his wolf is out. His eyes are already a natural black.
He sighed, "I'll tell you. Bu-" Before he could finish his sentence, the door burst open and loud growl ripped through the air.
"Get the hell away from her!" Logan growled, ripping Grant off of me. He growled back but Logan had taken a protective stance in front of me, stopping Grant from getting to me. Like my own mate would physically hurt me. "Your time it up."
"What!?" I yelled, pissed that my brother had interrupted us. "Just give us five more minutes." i pleaded, hoping that he would say yes. Grant was about to tell me!
"No, you asked for ten minutes and i gave it. That's all for today, Hazel." He turned to give me a small frown. I sighed in frustration before looking at Grant. He looked much more calm and relaxed, probably glad that he no longer has to tell me.
"Fine," I grumbled. "But tomorrow, for sure." I narrowed my eyes at Grant, making sure he knew that no matter what, tomorrow he will tell me. He gave a slight nod before walking towards the door. I walked after him leavin Logan staring at Grant with shock. He probably wasn't expecting him to be so okay with this.
LOGAN POV
After i had sorted things out with Seth and Grant (Hazel told me his real name), i made my way into my room to have a nice soothing shower. My wounds had healed and it felt good getting all the blood and dirt off my body.
I changed into way more comfy clothes before leaving my room. I felt the need to check up on Grace just incase she needed anything- maybe me. Walking up to her room, i growled when i saw a male standing outside of her room but he looked as though he were guarding it.
"Alpha," He bowed at me as i neared him. He was one of Masons.
"State your business." I ordered, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Alpha Mason ordered me to guard Graces room."
"Does she know about this?" I asked.
"Yes. She actually told me to give you this." He reached into his back pocket before pulling out a note. I raised an eyebrow but he shrugged and gave me the note. I opened it and smiled as i read.
Dear Logan,
You probably know about William now. Dad made him be my guardian, stating that he doesn't trust Boss, Seth and Xavier living in the same house as us. So untill they're gone, i'm stuck with him. But i don't mind and you shouldn't either.
I'm resting so leave me alone. I'm safe so don't worry. You should go rest and eat something. I'll see you in a bit though.
Your MateGrace
I folded the paper and stuffed it into my pocket. I looked up at William. "What's your ranking?"
"Third best warrior, sir." He relpied. I nodded and patted his shoulder before walking away. Man, he looked my age! That's legit a huge accomplishment at such a young age and i saw the mark on his neck so he had also found his mate! Good for him.
My stomach growling reminded me that i actually was pretty hungry. My energy had been drained from all the fighting so i quickly made my way into the kitchen. How lucky was i to see my mother frying something on the stove?
"Thanks mum," I yelled, jumping onto one of the stools. She jumped and turned around to glare at me. I returned it with a cheeky grin and grinned when she nodded.
"Dude, you have to check this out!" Cole entered the kitchen as soon as i had finished the sandwich my mother had made me. "Hurry up!" He sounded so excited so i quickly stood up before following him.
He led me through the front door and from the pourch i could see a fairly large group of men and women in a circle. Suddenly they all yelled, "Ohhhhhh, sh*t!" which made me run there.
"Come one guys, let the Alpha through." Cole yelled, creating a path for him and i to walk through. On the inside of the circle, i recognised some of the faces but i didn't know their names. "Logan, meet Caleb, Collin, Luke, Paul, Kurt and Jacob." He pointed to a different face. I remeber them when they all emerged out of the cells with Grace leading them.
"Hey. Graces' mate, right?" Luke, i think, asked after a slight bow. I nodded and watched as he poked his hand out. I shook it slightly.
"So what's this all about?" I asked, remembering the crowd around us.
"Just watch and learn." Cole mumbled, nodding at the boys. Luke grinned and cleared his throat before beginning.
"Yo mama so short that she can limbo under the door!" Luke yelled, looking at Caleb. A lot of people laughed and i grinned, knowing what this was.
"Alright alright. Check this out. "Yo mama so fat, they have to grease the tub to get her out." I laughed at Calebs come back, laughing with more people around me.
"Oh yeah? Well yo mama like a hockey player, she only showers after three periods!" This time it was Kurt and i held my fist in front of my mouth as i jumped onto Cole. That was a good one. And i have one up my sleeve.
"Yo mama so fat that people jog around her for exercise." I yelled after the laughter had died down. Kurts face dropped and everyone laughed.
"At least mine is smart! Yours so stupid she stole free bread."
"Dude, it took yo mama two hours to watch sixty minutes (A/N: It's a NZ news thingy which runs for 60 minutes (one hour)). So who's the stupid mother here?" This time it was Cole and i jumped on his back again. Man, this is fun. I love how no one is taking this seriously and how it's taking my mind off of things.
"But i remeber yours took a ruler to bed to see how long she slept?" I joked, asking Colton. His jaw dropped and everyone laughed as i mocked my own cousin.
"Oh come on, Luke! I thought i told you your mother was the stupidest. Who tries to drown their pet fish?" We all snapped our heads to the side and i smiled when i saw my mate enter the field.
"Grace!" Luke squeeled, high fiving her. They all seemed quite close, maybe too close. I smiled when i saw William right behind her. But i frowned because i didn't want to play this game with her. I mean, she's Mason daughter and my wolf still doesn't like that man. He hurt my mother and if she mocks her, my wolf will most likely get pissed.
But she seemed to know what i was thinking because she nodded her head to the side. I nodded and followed her out of the crowd.
BIANCA POV
Crying seemed like the only way out of my misery. I always thought as myself to be the crazy type. I was wild and i wasn't afraid to try something new. I always thought my mate would come and balance me out. You know, like help me to control myself. Someone who was sensitive and caring.
But i got Seth. The rebel of a wolf who kidnapped she wolves and my cousins mate. He's worst than me and i hated it. This isn't a good pair, fates. I hope they know they're making a huge mistake.
Colton told me that i had to sort it out with Seth. I know it's not fair on him. I didn't even give him time or the opportunity to explain everything. So i know that i did have to talk to him.
I waited for Grace to have her turn before waiting for Seth in the interigation room. I sat down in one chair and tensed when i heard the door open and then the chair scrap back. His scent hit me like a ton of bricks and it helped to relax me.
"Bianca, le-let me introduce myself." He began. I looked up to see him giving me a small smile. I nodded, allowing him to continue. He cleared his throat, "My name is Seth Irving. I'm the son of my parents whom i shall not name. I have two siblings, which you have met but when my mother died, she was pregnant with my little sister." His voice cracked and i gasped. "My parents were rouges, dangerous ones at that. They had beef with Graces parents and were going to kill Grace when she was a child. But her father killed my parents. I was only a little child and didn't know of what was happening but Grant was affected the most.
"When i grew older, i didn't really care about my parents death but i hated them for putting my little sisters life in danger. I knew it was their fault but Grant blamed Graces' parents. Slowly he became an animal and decided to increase our numbers by kidnapping she wolves and forcefully getting them pregnant. I was sickened but i played along, in hope that one of them were my mate so would be able to run away with her.
"I knew i had to help Grace and ask her yourself, i did! But Grant is still my brother and i won't let anyone hurt him. So i didn't hesitate to shoot Cole in the leg. I didn't kill him, note that. Grant mind linked me, telling me that we would run through the house and out the back door. But i begged him to stay and he listened to me. I swear i had no part in those cruel things he did. I just wanted my mate and to escape from that hell hole."
He black eyes held so much truth and honesty that i couldn't help but to trust him. Maybe i should stop assuming things. I held a hand over my mouth and watched him frown. He stood up and made his way towards me, slowly.
When he reached me, i jumped up and engulfed him into a hug. He stumbled back but soon hugged me back, tighter than i had to him. He smelt nice.
"I'm so sorry i judged you," I mumbled against his neck. He pulled back and held my face in his hands.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm sorry for allowing all this to happen." He whispered, pulling me in for another hug. I let out some happy tears and tightened my grasp.
Maybe Seth isn't so bad. But Grant is who we need to watch out for.
