Taylor and Duncan walk out in the yard, where his mother is. The twins are running around playing with two large balls.
"Dada, " DJ said kicking the ball to Duncan. He kicks it back to DJ. When an unmated male walks over to Taylor asking her to autograph
"Mine," Duncan growls loud. As he looks at the young man.
"Duncan is okay. This happens a lot" Tay said smiling. She signs the book, hands it back to the man
"I don't like it," Duncan said looking at her shaking his head
Tay stands up him rubbing his back. "I'm only Yours," she said still rubbing his back looking at him
"I know you are. I still don't like it. I don't like others lusting over you." He said still shaking his head.
"Is this how you acted when I was gone?" Tay asks him looking at him
"No, he was worst. He wanted to kill any guy that looked at your pictures." His mother said shaking her head
Taylor wraps her arms around him. "I'm here. I have always been yours." She kisses his chest
"You're not going anywhere ever again without me. Okay?" Duncan said burying his head in her neck smelling her.
"Okay," Taylor said smiling nodding her head
Erica is still shaking her head smiling
"Duncan you have a meeting with Alpha Gomez in a few minutes, he just crossed the border," Ashton said walking out in the yard.
Duncan is wrapped around Tay. "Why are we meeting with him again? Duncan asks looking at Ashton
"He said he was looking for someone. He thinks she's here." Ashton is smiling looking at DJ and Trenee kicking the ball to each other.
Duncan raises his head from Tay's neck. He is still looking at Ash. " His Mate? " He asks looking a little confused.
"He didn't say it was. But I guess so" Ashton said
"Why didn't Gomez say his Mate. If that is who he is looking for?" Duncan is thinking as Trenee pulls his pants leg. Duncan starts playing with her for a minute.
"I will be out here with your mother," Taylor said smiling sitting down, looking at her kids
"Tay I want you beside me, always beside me," Duncan said looking at her. He holds his hand out for her
Taylor lays her hand in his. "Sure," she said getting up.
"Mother, can you watch the twins?" He asks
His mother is rolling the ball to DJ. "Yes, I would love to."
Duncan and Taylor walk into the house holding had as they reach Duncan's office Gomez and his Beta Jesus is already in there sitting down.
"Alpha Gomez, I'm Alpha Duncan Holland and this is my Luna," Duncan said to the man that is staring at Taylor
"Your Luna?" Alpha Gomez asks still looking at Taylor
"Yes, MY LUNA. How can we help you?" Duncan said. He doesn't like the way the man is looking at Tay. He wants to finish this business quickly and get Gomez out of his territory.
"Three years ago, one of your pack members sold me her daughter. She is to be my Mate. I came to get her." Gomez said looking at Taylor,
Duncan stands between Gomez and Tay. "Who is the girl that you are here for?" He is looking at Gomez
"Her, your Luna". Gomez said pointing at Taylor looking at Duncan
" GROWLS" Duncan as he is running over to Gomez. He grabs him by his throat. "GROWLS "
Ashton jumps in front of Gomez Beta Jesus. They are at a standoff.
Taylor is looking at all four of the men. "This has to be a mistake." Taylor walks over to Duncan "Calm down" she said rubbing his back
Duncan releases the Alpha. Then he pulls Tay close to him. "MINE" He looks at Gomez
Ashton and Jesus relax. Both are still looking at each other.
"Alpha Gomez first, of all your crazy. My mother died when I was ten. My mother would never have sold me" Taylor said shaking her head
Gomez hands Duncan a contract. But he is still looking at Taylor lusting over her.
Duncan is reading the contract. But he is standing between Taylor and Gomez. He doesn't trust either one of those men.
"You were standing on the porch talking to another young lady. She looked a few years older than you.
Actually you two were arguing. I asked Estella which one. She said the beautiful one. That would be you. The other one was ugly, very ugly." Alpha Gomez said shaking his head
"Tay, Estella sold him, Amanda," Duncan said smiling still reading the contract
"She sold Amanda" Tay shouted in disbelief. She couldn't believe Estella would sell her own daughter.
"Your Amanda," Gomez said pointing at Taylor nodding his head.
"No, I'm Taylor Green. Daugther of Zach and Doris Green." She said shaking her head looking at Gomez
"Where is Estella? We need to get this settle right now." Gomez said in a furious tone
"She was killed by rogues a few days ago," Duncan said. "I just link Amanda to come with her clothes."
Gomez is shaking his head and rubbing his face. "I paid Estella sixty thousand dollars for you." He said looking at Taylor.
Amanda walks in with two suitcases. " I guess you got Alpha to kick me out of the pack. I never liked you." She said looking at Tay
Taylor looks Amanda up and down. "I didn't do anything. Your mother took care of it for me. Believe me when I say that I never liked you either." Taylor is still looking at Amanda
"See look at her, she's ugly. Even her ways are ugly" Gomez said looking at Amanda shaking his head, pointing at her.
"Alpha may I ask what's going on?" Amanda asks looking at Duncan confused
Duncan looks at her, "It seems that Estella sold you for sixty thousand dollars to Alpha Gomez. He thought he bought Taylor." Duncan looks at Gomez then back at Amanda
Amanda is shaking her head. "My mother would never do that to me."
Duncan hands her the contract, she reads it.
"That b***h. How could she do this to me." Amanda is shaking her head looking at Gomez.
Gomez walks over to Amanda. He walks around her looking at her. "I can't make her my Luna. She will have to work off the money. But she will never share my bed" Gomez said shaking his head.
Amanda grabs Taylor's arm." I don't want to go with him." gripping her arm tighter
Taylor is looking at her arm that Amanda was gripping. "Do you have the money to pay him? " She asks looking at her
"No, I don't. Do you have it?" Amanda said looking at Taylor with pleading eyes.
"Yes, I do, but I'm not paying him. You are on your own missy." Taylor said shaking her head
Duncan pulls Taylor away from Amanda, closer to him.
Gomez is still looking at Taylor. "I can't believe this I been waiting three years to Mate with this beautiful lady. I end up getting this ugly ass thing" He said throwing his hands in the air.
"GROWLS" Come from Duncan, he didn't like that Gomez is still lusting over Taylor.
"Ease up on the insults Alpha, that's my job," Taylor said looking at Gomez
Gomez is already walking to the door. "Pick up your bags and come on." He said he didn't even look back at her.
"Taylor, are you going to let him take me?" Amanda asks as she is walking toward the door. But is looking at Taylor.
"It's nothing I can do. Your mother did it. So you can thank her for it." Taylor said turning her back.
" But I'm your sister Taylor," Amanda said looking at Taylor's back
"No, your not my sister. You are my mean stepsister," She said turning to look at Amanda.
"That's not true. I'm your half-sister. We had the same father." Amanda said Jesus is pushing her toward the door.
"Yeah right. I have to see a lot of proof to believe that." Taylor said shaking her head
"Come on let's go," Gomez said standing at the door. Looking at Jesus still pushing Amanda to the door.
"Taylor please," Amanda begs
"If you were my sister, my father would have told me. As we both know he didn't" Taylor said walking out of the room
"Tay, do you think Amanda was telling the truth?" Duncan asks once there were in the kitchen
"My father never said anything about her being my sister to me or his lawyer. It's just something that Amanda made up to save herself." Taylor said getting a bottle of water out of the refrigerator.
Ashton is looking at Taylor. "What are you going to do if she is? He is still looking at her.
"Nothing I don't want to think about her right now. Thank you my handsome Alpha for protecting me." Taylor said kissing him
"I told you your mine. You are not going anywhere." Duncan said kissing Tay. Out of nowhere, Duncan yells "Tay get the twins. Rogues are attacking"
Taylor fades to the kids. When she gets there Trenee has herself and DJ protected inside her force field. A wolf has Erica on the ground.
Taylor conjures a sword. She swings it at the wolf's neck. Cutting his head off, his head falls to the ground. Then his body falls on the side of Erica. Her chest is bleeding from scratches.
She helps Erica up as she is looking for Duncan. She sees him fighting two wolves. "Trenee, get your grandma," Tay said pushing Erica close to Trenee.
Trenee lets her force field down, long enough for her grandmother to get in. Erica is in the force fill holding her grandkids.
Taylor disappears, Erica looks up she sees a sword. It is going into one of the wolves ' heads that Duncan is fighting. But she doesn't see Tay. She reappears beside Erica and the twins. Taylor is looking around she sees a familiar wolf running toward Duncan. Her eyes change from grey to green, her hair starting to blow. She blows a kiss toward the wolf. The kiss forms into strong wind picking him up. Throwing him into a tree. Breaking his neck and back
Duncan snaps a grey wolf's neck. He sees a brown wolf has a she-wolf on the ground. He runs snatches the wolf off of the woman. Then he rips his head off.
Burt is standing in the middle of the yard. He is with the rogues. When Tay sees Burt she raises her right hand toward him. Another wolf jumps in front of Burt. Getting hit by Tay's powers, the wolf is frozen in mid-air. Burt and some of the rogues managed to escape. Most of the rogues were killed only a hand full were capture.
Taylor runs to Duncan. "Are you alright? " She asks looking over his body
"Yea, thanks," he said hugging her
Taylor is looking over toward their kids. "Your mother is hurt." She and Duncan run over the twins and his mother.
"Mother are you okay?" Duncan asks once he reaches her
"Yes, thanks to Tay and Trenee," Erica said still holding the twins
Erica and Duncan look over at the wolf still frozen.
"Oh, he will unfreeze in about five minutes. Give or take a minute or two." Taylor said waving her hand at the wolf.
"Lock him up in the dungeon," Duncan tells Carl
Carl is looking at the wolf, like what the hell. He is trying to figure out how to pick up the frozen wolf.
Taylor is looking at her kids. "I guess I need to show and tell Duncan the rest of it" She is thinking "I have something to show you. She said taking a deep breath
"Okay, " Duncan said looking at her
"Do you remember when I told you about the wolves that came after the twins?" She asks
Duncan is standing in front of her looking at her nodding his head.
"Those were the wolves," Tay said looking around the yard at the dead rogues.
"So, Burt was behind it," Duncan said clenching his fist.
"I don't know if he was or if he just joined them. But those are the ones." Tay said pointing at the rogues.
" That means that he knows you and Trenee are witches," Duncan said looking at her and then at their daughter.
"It seems like it," Tay said looking at him than at their twins
"Ash, double the guards on all the borders," Duncan said
Ashton nods his head.
Tay looks at Ash then at Duncan. " I need to show you, your mother, and Ash something, in private," She is still looking at Duncan
He looks at her, he couldn't read her thoughts. He didn't like that. "Why can't I read your thoughts right now?" Duncan asks narrowing his eyes looking at her
"I can block it. I did that on purpose to show you." She said looking at him
"Don't do that again." He said looking at her shaking his head
"I won't do it again." She said smiling
"I'm serious Tay," Duncan said hugging her
"I know, I was too. I just wanted you to know that I could do that. " She lays her arm around his waist.
Duncan leads them into the garage.
"You all might want to find something to sit on." She said looking around at the three of them.
They are looking at her confused, but continue standing up
She looks at them one more time. "DJ, let Prince come out to play. " Taylor said looking at her son
They hear sounds of little bones cracking. Duncan, Erica, and Ash's eye have gotten big, watching DJ shift into a little black pup
Duncan is still looking at his son. "How in the hell did he do that?" Duncan asks still looking at his pup.
"What the hell?" Erica and Ashton said in unison.
"DJ just shifted!" Duncan is pointing at his son
Trenee is rubbing Prince's head, leaning down in his face smiling and talking to him.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Duncan asks Tay. But he is still looking at the little black wolf.
"I was giving you time to deal with our little witch first," Taylor said looking at their daughter.
"How old was he when he first shifted?" Erica asks looking at Prince
"He shifted on his birthday. I was serving cake and ice cream the next thing I knew. He was on the floor, shifting. " Taylor said looking at the little wolf.
Duncan is still looking at his son smiling. He hasn't taken his eyes off of him.
"Duncan, Duncan " Tay said
"He's a cute little pup. Don't you think so Ash?" Duncan said smiling looking at his son
Ashton didn't answer Duncan
"Ashton?" Duncan said again. But he still didn't hear anything from Ashton.
They turn to look at Ashton. But he was not standing back there. He is on the ground. He had fainted. Taylor conjures a bucket of water, pours it on him. He jumps up looking at Prince
"You two have some strange pups," Ashton said looking at DJ and Trenee
"Prince, it's time to let DJ come back. Your daddy will take you out to run later today." Taylor said looking at Duncan
Duncan is looking at his son nodding his head smiling.
Prince shifts back.
"His clothes are still attached!" Duncan said looking shocked at DJ
"That explains everything. The Seer must have told Burt about the twins and your powers." Erica said
"Why wouldn't he want me and Tay to Mate? Duncan asks is looking at his mother
"Because Burt wanted me for himself. Just like he wanted my mother. " Tay said nodding her head
"I knew it, I knew it. I never did like the way he looked at you." Duncan said clenching his fist.
"This has been a day. I need to sit down." Erica said fanning her face.
It was a chair in the corner. Taylor moves her finger toward the chair. It slides under Erica.
"Thank you," Erica said still fanning as she is sitting down in the chair
Duncan and Ashton look at Taylor.
She looks at them " Why are you two looking at me like that?" Taylor put her hands on her hips.
"I love looking at you. But I was wondering about your powers." Duncan kisses her head
"I was looking at you because I'm still getting used to you being a witch," Ashton said shaking his head
"What about my powers? Tay asks looking at Duncan confused
"They are a lot stronger now. You have some powers that you didn't have before." Duncan said looking at her shaking his head.
"My mother said I haven't received all my powers yet. But I will before I'm twenty-one." Tay looks at him
"Your mother was a powerful witch. Even when we were growing up. She had powers." Erica said looking at her smiling nodding her head
"I didn't know you grew up with my mother. I assume you two met when she moved her." She said looking at Erica
"No, we grew up together. I moved here when I met my mate, Duncan's father. Your mother moved here to be closer to me. Then she met your father when he moved here. We both were pregnant at the same time. But I was further along. We always hoped you two were mates. Taylor everyone was beginning to think your name was My Tay. Because that's what Duncan called you all the time." She said smiling at Taylor and Duncan
"So, I see you wanted me back then too," Taylor said smiling
"Yep, your My Tay," Duncan said kissing her forehead
"What was that you did to that rogue?" Ashton asks looking at her
"I froze him by using my Manipulation of Molecules power. I was aiming for Burt. But the dummy jumped in front of Burt." Tay said looking at DJ and Trenee sitting on the floor singing
"Maybe Burt won't come back any time soon," Duncan said
"Next time he comes back, I'm going to blow him up," Taylor said looking at Duncan
"You can do that? " Duncan asks looking at her. He is wondering if she is serious.
"Yep," She said smiling
"What time do you want to go get your cars?" Duncan asks her smiling
"We can go now" She is looking at the twins running around their grandmother
"They sure are some happy kids," Erica said smiling looking at her grandkids
"That's what my father said all the time. When he visits us. They are always singing and dancing. Just like they are doing now." Taylor said smiling
"I knew that he knew where you were at. You cast a spell so my command wouldn't work." Duncan said looking at her
"Yep, I knew you would command him." She said smiling
"You are going to pay for that tonight," Duncan said kissing her forehead
"I'm counting on." She said smiling
"When will your things arrive? Erica asks laughing at Tay and Duncan
"In a few days. I started to transport everything myself. But your son didn't want me out of his sight. I didn't want everyone to start asking questions." Taylor said
Duncan is putting the twins in the car seats."Ash, we need you to drive one of Tay's cars back." Duncan is opening the door for Tay.
Ash gets in the back of the SUV. He is looking at two smiling kids. "They sure do smile a lot"
Tay turns around to them putting their headphones on. Turning on the tv, it on Sesame Street. Trenee and DJ start counting.
Duncan is looking at the twins."How far can they count? "
"Twenty. Every time I try to get them to say 21. They both tell me no, no, no. " She said laughing
