Aaron nodded "Yeah she's a good Luna but Luke should have put that wolf down years ago so many packs were destroyed thanks to him..", Aaron kissed the top of his head before lying down with him pressed to his side by one of his arms. He looked up at the sky before watching the stars

Apollo looked over at his sister and whimpered before mind-linking 'Lets go home i need my blanket..', His blanket that Alice & Luke gave him was what comforted him the most when he sensed strong emotions/strength.

Luke sighed, "His line has been after my family for quite a while their too power hungry, Once he'd heard about me finding my mate and that we were expecting pups he wanted you and Lila" He growled at the thought of him getting a hold of his loved ones. "His plans were you take you and Lila before killing what's left of my family" He explained, "I didn't want to stress you out then have you reject me" She sighed.

Terry after they'd finished stitching her stomach managed to put the deep cut in her hand back together, Terry's heart threatening to break out of her chest and she had some hallucinations of her ex standing at the door. Her breath shaky as she saw the gun in his hand before it raised looking like he was about to shoot her, "Luke!" She screamed as tears poured down her cheeks. The healers tried to assure her nobody was there but she could still see him until someone walked through him, Her breathing still uneven as her hands were shaky.

Jace looked around as they went inside the home, "Do you live by yourself?" He asked as he hadn't seen anyone else yet. His wolf on alert just in case there was a threat waiting to strike around one of the corners

"wont those packs just get new Alphas or something?" he wasnt too clear on how packs worked,his entire life had been made up of either traveling between human areas or living with the splinter group before that,it made him wonder how they were doing, they were his family...despite how terribly they acted most of the time, Marcus shook his head and sighed, looking up as well "wow the stars are almost as beautiful as you" he grinned, trying to distract himself

Lila nodded "yeah but first we need to get Ash to his feet and convince him to go with us" she said looking over at her brother,she motioned for Appollo to follow and made her way to Ashton slowly "hey, Ash?" Lila asked carefully, he was fast and could run away if he wanted to

Ashton growled and turned to them, his ears perked towards his siblings to show that he was listening, but he wasnt in a good mood at the moment

Alice nodded and hugged Luke "well now I know and im not rejecting you am i?" she asked, a little pissed now that she understood what Alarick's intentions had been "and we're all safe now" she sighed "can we go home? Im a little worn out and you need rest, plus the pups had a pretty traumatic night"

Aaron sighed "It'd take a lot of fighting to decide who was alpha unless there was a heir" He explained, He continued to look at the stars some shaped into figures. He remembered when he use to look at the stars with his older brother, Hearing what Marcus said made him grin. "I'm out of cheesy lines" He chuckled but it was true he usually knew what to say but Marcus had him tongue tied

Apollo sighed and managed to get into Ashton's head, 'Dad won't be impressed if you made us stay in the cold' He said knowing well that their fathers wolf would step in and stop any punishments to Ashton as he was his favorite. 'I just want my blanket but it's at home' he whined

Luke smiled "Yes we certainly can", Luke had managed to heal a bit so he was able to walk. Once he was on his feet his wolf took charge in getting his family home as Luke was exhausted, His wolf was quick to mind-link to his pups 'Time to go home'. "Are you alright to walk?" He asked Alice

"oh okay...you're going to have to explain pack things to me at some point because they dont work like the kind of group I grew up in..." he shrugged and curled closer to Aaron "and its fine, cheesy lines are usually mine" he grinned and kissed his cheek "so leave all the terrible flirting to me"

Lila sat back and watched Ash with some curiosity, she didnt understand him, he was so cold...and closed off, it didnt make sense to her

Ash narrowed his eyes at Appollo but stood "alright, we can go, Im tired anyway" he padded towards the other pups and stretched "we have to hurry though its getting really late" Ash yawned and walked to his parents, nudging Luke's leg to say he was ready,Lila followed him and gave Appollo a sorry look from over her shoulder

Alice nodded and stood "Im not injured so yeah Ill be good" she smiled and reached over to pick up Lila "the sooner we can get back the better"

Apollo once they'd walked back to their parents watched as Luke picked him up then Ashton, Apollo shifted back and clung to his father like a monkey. He enjoyed the warmth and ended up falling asleep with his small fist holding onto his fathers torn shirt

Aaron chuckled "Goodnight", After a minute or two he closed his eyes and let sleep take over. His body relaxed a bit but his arm wouldn't budge meaning Marcus was stuck till he woke up unless he struggled quite a bit

Luke's Wolf nodded having Ashton & a sleeping Apollo in his arms before starting to walk back to their house, He watched as the guards followed but kept their distance letting the family have space after all the chaos that had happened today. He walked beside Alice

Ashton shifted back too and looked up at Luke with a tilted head, he sighed and closed his eyes "sorry..I couldn't help you" he said through the mind link to Luke he couldn't help but feel bad for all those injuries and his mothers stress, Lila on the other hand was passed out and snoring slightly as the steady rhythm of her mothers steps calmed her,Alice looked over at Luke and offered a weak smile "at least this is all over now" she tried to release some of the tension that had built up surrounding this situation

Marcus looked over at Aaron and shook his head, closing his eyes and letting himself drift off because there really was no other choice since he was being held there

Luke's Wolf smiled 'It's ok and you did help me, You stayed alive and well', Luke's wolf looked over at Alice and moved closer to her so he was able to loop an arm around her whilst juggling his pups with the other arm. He looked into her eyes seeing if her wolf was present, He missed her. Luke's eyes lightened as he took control again guiding his family to the house, He was quite relieved when the two story home came into view.

Terry sat on the bed with her legs to her chest, She watched as the healers rushed around tending to others. "You can't ignore me forever" The harsh voice spoke, She turned and looked as her ex sat beside her. "Your dead!" She shouted, "I'm just seeing things.." she mumbled to herself before repeating "Your not real" over and over. She looked up as a few people stared at her like she'd grown two heads making her snarl at them

Ash blinked slowly "okay.." he shut his eyes tight and tried to sleep like his siblings but it wasnt easy since he was too restless but he tried to push it down and forced his thoughts into silence as he rocked back and forth in his father's arms

Alice visibly calmed down when Luke got closer "so im talking to Luke now right? Not the wolf?" she was reminded of her own version of the more feral side,her wolf was constantly straining to break free and right now it was hard to fight back so her eyes flickered whenever Alice faltered "do you want some help? I could take Appollo if you want me too? Your arms look a little full" she suggested, not wanting any extra pressure on him after that night, not him or Terry, those two deserved a break more than anyone else at this moment

Zamika nodded, "The rest of my family lives in the house you saw, where I got the kayak." she smiled at him, "But here is just me."

Luke chuckled "It's fine i think they're nearly asleep anyways but yes the wolf has been put away" He replied as the large canine was asleep at the back of his mind exhausted from healing Luke, Luke still had a few cuts and scrapes but he'd managed to heal him up quite a bit while his wolf still looked like a horror show. Now that they were at the door Luke using his spare hand moved and opened the door for Alice

Aaron stirred in his sleep a bit having a small nightmare making him tighten his hold slightly and move closer to Marcus resting his head near his neck, Marcus scent was strong there making him relax and loosen his hold

Apollo woke up as his fathers chest vibrated while he talked to their mother, He stayed awake and enjoyed the warmth coming off his father turning his head to the side looking at Ashton then Alice his stomach giving a small grumble but he ignored it and closed his eyes again.

Terry had enough of listening to him and got to her feet a little shaky but she managed to stay standing and started heading for the exit, She tried opening the back exit door but it was locked making her huff before trying to link Luke but it didn't work as her wolf was still asleep much like Luke's wolf.

Jace looked at her as she spoke, "Oh ok" He said glad he now knew a thing or two about her family and living. His wolf relaxed a bit taking a step back in his mind not on the surface anymore but still watching
