(Sorry had to sort my phone out lol)

Luke smiled at her and watched her walk out before he got up and had a quick shower not messing around, Once he was out he got dressed in the usual jeans and black shirt before putting his shoes on and running a hand through his hair and staring at himself in the mirror for a moment before turning and heading out of the bedroom

Aaron took his hand and stood up stretching out a bit before smiling seeing the clear blue sky only a few clouds floating through the air, "Have some fun" He smirked as they could do that no Alpha to tell him what to do and no crazy Rouge to worry about.

Apollo cried to his mother his hands coming up making grabby signs as he wanted up and out of there his sister did scare him a bit when she was mad but calmed down as their fathers voice came through a link to all three of the pups in a gentle tone 'Settle down and take is easy on your mum today please'

(its fine!)

Alice watched the pups and sighed, going over to lift Apollo into her arms while she calmed down the others, although she guessed their sudden mood change wasn't because of her, Luke was still helping even though he was busy, she was pretty grateful for that and it meant she could set them down and go make the coffee. It didn't take long and soon she had brought a mug to Luke "goodbye, keep safe out there" Alice said kissing him goodbye and heading back to Ash, Lila and Apollo

Ash had responded to his father's voice first, backing away from Lila who reluctantly did the same, they were now sitting in a kind of play area waiting for their mother to get back

.

"define fun" Marcus grinned already on board with whatever Aaron had planned, it had been a while since he had gotten to let loose

Luke smiled grateful for the coffee to help him start his day and kissed her back "I'll see you when i get back" He said before grabbing his car keys off the hook near the door and heading out, He usually went on foot but something told him there was some traveling to do today. Once inside he set his mug down after having a long sip and started the car up honking goodbye and driving off towards the pack house

Apollo had picked up a block car and was now rolling it around on the carpet imagining he was his father with his car so he turned to see if they were impressed with how "good" he was mimicking their father

Terry was finally let out of the pack hospital once they believed she'd healed enough and not wanting to return to that cursed home she had with her ex she went to the only place she knew would accept her, On her walk there she noticed Luke's car going down the street and just hoped someone was still home. Once she got there a little puffed out she caught her breath and knocked on the wooden door

Aaron grinned "There's many options we could go to the beach, Have a nice hunt or we could cause some havoc in town" He chuckled and smiled soon after loving the feeling of freedom

"okay" Alice smiled and waved him off as he pulled out of the driveway, about to get back to Lila, Ash and Apollo when there was a knock on their door. Alice was cautious opening it but smiled when it was just Terry "oh hi, glad to see you're feeling better, can I help you?" she stepped back letting the woman in "is everything alright?" Alice had a vague idea on the whole ex dilemma so sge was trying to work out if it had something to do with that, the pups would have to wait a little bit for this

Speaking of the pups, Ash and Lila were watching Apollo with some interest, the movement from the small car was fascinating to them. Lila was focused on the toy itself while Ash was looking at the wheels, laying on his stomach to get a better view of the way they turned

.

Marcus smiled "how about we cause a little chaos then have a date on the beach?" both of those options sounded like fun

Luke pulled in at the pack building and parked the car before grabbing his mug from the cup holder and getting out not bothering to lock the car as he doubt anyone would try stealing his car in this pack, Walking inside a few people greeted him before he got to the meeting room where Mason and a few other warriors were. Usually it would have been Jace instead but since he was the one this was all about Mason took his place, "Alright what information do we have?" He asked as he took a seat.

Terry finally seeing a friendly face embraced Alice in a hug managing to hold back the tears, Pulling away a minute after "Sorry i just.. needed that" She chuckled softly she wasn't much of a hugger but she was so happy to see someone she knew and was happy Alice was okay. "Where's Luke?" She asked as his car wasn't out the front and she saw it earlier

Apollo giggled seeing their faces, He continued to move the squeaky toy around getting so focused on play he forgot his siblings were there as he crawled with the car going over to the few building blocks were he tried building the house but got distracted by a very bright yellow block with "A" on it before smacking it against the ground

Aaron nodded liking the idea so he shifted and gestured with his head for Marcus to follow as he started walking towards a car dealership it was half an hour away but he knew it was going to be worth it a grin on his wolfy face

Alice simply accepted the hug and returned the gesture "It's perfectly fine Terry, it was a stressful night for all of us" she said pulling out two chairs "would you like something to eat or drink?" Alice wasn't sitting down yet, she was trying to be a good host but wasn't the most experienced when it came to caring for guests "Luke, at a meeting of some sort if I'm right, he should be back later today" she paused and took a second to link the pups just to check up on them "everything okay there?"

Hearing their mother Ash and Lila replied with a simple yes as they switched from watching their brother to finding their own entertainment, Lila settled for another car she found while Ash went with a nap, he was still pretty tired from all the activities of yesterday

.

Marcus shifted and caught up to Aaron, an equally mischievous expression on his features as he tagged along

Luke watched as Mason looked over a piece of paper "Well we believe he fled the pack as the same day Alarick attacked us he was nowhere to be seen and according to our boarder groups the Rogue Zamika hasn't been seen since either" Luke sighed hearing the last part honestly hoping she wasn't dead knowing Alice was friends with her, Mason looked at the warrior sitting next to him before continuing "We think they might have ran off together where we aren't sure yet" He said waiting for their Alpha's reaction. Luke thought about it his wolf waking up but just watching not making a comment yet

Terry smiled when she pulled out a seat and sat down "I'm good thank you" and she nodded after she told her where Luke was, "Yeah i just needed to have a talk with Luke and you too, I need a place to stay while i get a new house and you guys are the only ones that really accept me" She sighed

Apollo already knew who was here it was Aunt Terry but he didn't get too excited he just continued playing but stopped when he heard his mother 'Yeah, Is that aunty?' He asked just to be sure he was right as he continued smacking the block on the ground before trying to fit it in his mouth

Aaron once they arrived at the car dealership looked at where the office was and a man was there reading a news paper, He shifted back and turned to Marcus "I need you to go distract the guy but keep him in the building ok and meet me just around the corner in about fifteen minutes you okay with that?" He asked

"Go poke around the TV stand, I have dvd's and netflix." she smiles, "I'll get more blankets and pillows." she kisses his cheek and her retreating steps upstairs into her room.

Alice nodded and sat down too, listening to Terry while she spoke before nodding "I don't see why Luke would mind you staying and I'm perfectly fine with it, so you're welcome to live here temporarily" she smiled "but,if you don't mind me asking, why is it that no one else accepts you? Did something happen..." her curiosity was getting the better of her so she only took one more second to reply to Apollo

"yes that is your aunt, she may be staying with us for some time" before getting back to the woman sitting across from her

Lila looked over at Apollo with a small frown "why are you trying to eat that?" she understood it was made out of wood and so wouldn't taste nice, which is why the sight of her brother trying to eat it made her feel a little sick.

.

"no problem at all, fifteen minutes and I'm showing up so you just make sure to hurry with whatever your job is" he nodded and made his way over to the man in question already having shifted back to a human "hello? Sir" he started deciding to improvise

Luke sat back in his chair and chuckled "Right i want a group of four out to look for him and Mason congratulations on your title as Beta again until Jace is found and explains himself", Luke's wolf frowned at the fact Luke didn't say anything about punishment. 'We are going to whip him right?' His wolf asked and Luke shook his head 'Your too violent wait till he explains himself then we can decide what happens plus Alice should have a say in this she's our mate'

Terry chuckled softly "I'm just the mental one now, why would anyone want that in their home?", She looked around for a few seconds then remembered the pups making her smile "How are the little ones?" She asked as she hadn't seen them since the day Alarick & Luke had the big fight. Just thinking about that made her zone out a bit but she came back after a second or two

Apollo looked confused 'Why is she staying here?' He asked Alice curious as he continued to try fitting the wooden block in his mouth and looked over at his sister once she linked him 'I don't want to wait for mummy so the block is good' He said as he chewed on the block with his gums

Aaron once Marcus was in he shifted and pretended he was a plain old dog walking around the cars, It was a bit odd but he kept going till he reached a nice silver 2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster shifting back Aaron was quick to put his elbow through the drivers window and open up the car knowing it would have alerted the guy at the desk once he heard the glass breaking so he quickly got the wires and started it. Started up the tires screeched as he sped out of the parking lot going around the block before stopping where he told Marcus he would be

Jace nodded and went into the lounge room before turning on the TV she mentioned going through Netflix until he got a mind link from a warrior back at the pack 'Jace you have a full day to return to the pack before we search for you Alpha already knows your missing so give in now' He froze and didn't reply now worried he sat down thinking about his choices for a moment before pushing it away and continuing his search through Netflix letting his wolf think about it instead

Maya sighed looking out the window of the train it'd been six years since she was last on this land the same place her husband died, She tried clearing her head and thinking on the bright side she was going to see her babies after hearing about the Rouge attacking and destroying packs a lot of shifters were shocked when they heard Luke's pack survived it and killed Alarick though she didn't know exactly who killed him
