They all stare at me and keep a hand on me to make sure that I am real, as I wipe the tears on my cheeks away.Β 

"I missed you little one," Maximus smiles, but I can see it doesn't reach his eyes.Β 

"You travelled a very long ways," Mateo gives me that same smile that Max gave.Β 

"Come home," is all my father says and I squeeze my hand, but all I feel is air and I look beside me and Daniel is not there. I look behind me and see that he is behind the glass wall with Alpha Oliver and his son Damien.Β 

My family sees this and Max growls and Mateo shakes his head, but my father he has a blank face. As I really look into his eyes I can see that he is tired and worn out. With me running away across the land, I can only think of the hell he has been through.Β 

But I don't care.Β 

"I am going to marry Alpha Oliver's son and become the Luna of their pack." I state with a straight face. They all stare at me for a second trying to comprehend what I just said.Β 

"April, it would be best if you came home," Mateo whispers softly.Β 

"You just can't run off with your 'half-ass-killer-mate' and then get married to some random guy at another pack!" Maximus loses his cool and yells in my face. "Have you lost your mind or are you just plain stupid!"Β 

"Leave my mate out of it, you don't know anything about him!" Β I yell at him.Β 

"I know enough to know that he helped kill over a thousand people of his own kind!" He argues back.Β 

"Guys let's settle down," Mateo tries to intervene, but we don't listen.Β 

"He had no fucking choice, he was only a kid so you can't blame him!"Β 

"Fuck that I would know what is wrong and right even if I was a kid!"

"Well you cant't change my decision I am eighteen and I can do whatever the hell I want to do!"Β 

"You see the situation you are in now! I don't think you are handling being eighteen just fine!"Β 

"Guys..." Mateo stresses.Β 

You don't understand anything, I bet if mom was here she would have let me be with Daniel and we would not even be in this situat-"Β 

"STOP USING MOM SHE ISN'T HERE AND YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW HER CAUSE YOU FUCKING KILLED HER!" Maximus yells even louder. His words stab me all over and I take a step back. Mateo pushes Maximus out of my face.Β 

"Sit down!" my father says with his alpha command to Maximus. Max realizes what he says and his whole demeanor changes.Β 

"April I didn't-"Β 

"SILENCE." My father says and the whole room is quiet. Tears run down my face as I think upon the matter.Β 

Do they really think I killed mom?

No

I hear his voice in my head and I turn around to see Daniel look straight at me. Everything that I feel for him comes back to me. All the butterflies and the warmth of our love rushes in me and all I want to do is run to him and leave this.Β 

Don't get me wrong I love my family, but Daniel has become my family now too.Β 

I turn to look at my brothers and father. Maximus has his head on the table and I can see that he is shaking from what he has said. Mateo looks down at the ground thinking about everything. I can barely look at my father as I see the little tears in his eyes.Β 

I have never seen him cry and to see him like this and it is because of me, I can't even bare to hold this weight.Β 

"I-I have to go," I whisper still not looking at my father. I give a wave goodbye and turn around. Β Big, strong, and comforting arms wrap around me and I look to see my father with his eyes close.Β 

April if you needΒ anything, just say it. Please.

My eyes open wide and as I hear my fathers voice and I look at him again.Β 

Shh go to your mate

He shoos me along and I shiver, but go.Β 

I walk into Daniel's arms and he hugs me tightly and gives me a kiss on my forehead. He nods his head toward my father.

"Welp let's go finish the plans," Alpha Oliver claps his hands together and smiles and we head back. I hold onto Daniel all the way back to the little cottage thinking about me and my father's new found mind link.Β 

...

"Daniel?"Β 

"Hmm," Daniel looks at me in the dark bedroom while we lay in the bed trying to sleep. Β It is hard trying to fall asleep because of the many thoughts running through my head. In just a few hours I am supposed to be getting married to Damien and I have barely got any rest.Β 

"I-I am scared," I whisper and Daniel pulls me into his arms.Β 

"Don't be, everything is going as planned," he mumbles in my ear. The warmth from his body envelopes me in and I feel the urge to close my eyes.Β 

"Daniel?"Β 

"Yes April?"Β 

"You know how we have a mind link between each other?"Β 

"Yeah what about it?"

"I have one with my father also." I tell him and he kisses my cheek with a smile.Β 

"Okay." Is all he says and I look at him in the eyes.Β 

"Isn't that weird though?"Β 

"No, I mean your parents can activate it at anytime. I have one with my parents." He tells me and I remember the first and the last time I met his family. They were talking to each other while Daniel was in his wolf form.Β 

"I-I thought that was because of your- um-your past," I tiptoe over my words and he buries his head in my neck not even bothered by what I just said.Β 

"I mean yeah the rogue pack did have a mind link, but my family had one of their own." He says.Β 

"Oh okay," I run my hand down his back. "I wonder why my father decided to activate ours," I mumble to myself.Β 

"I don't know," he replies sleepily. "Let's go to sleep April, tomorrow is an important day," He coos me to sleep and my eyes close.Β
