Barrett's POV
I felt the rush of emotions as Adaline crumpled to the ground. I kept yelling her name but she couldn't hear me. I felt someone rush near me and before I knew it, a man was hugging and trying to get her to look at him. I growled so loudly every wolf in the area stopped and bowed. "Get your hands OFF of MY MATE!" He turned to look at me. I looked him in his eyes and it hit me. "Sebastian!?" I was in shock. "What? How?" Then Adaline stood up and swung his arms off of her. "Get away from me." She ran inside sobbing. I started to walk towards her. "Listen, I know she is your mate," Sebastian started hesitantly, "but she was my wife and the love of my life first. Would it be okay if I tried first?" He was watching as she ran in. I couldn't deny him this, as pissed as I was because I was so damn confused I needed to remember the things before me. "Yes, she more than likely ran into the kitchen, go in and take a left." He nodded "thank you."
I turned to David, Rachel and Sophia. Sophia is the Alpha of the Red Moon pack. I knew her as she is my cousin and, since that was my mother's pack. "Explain." I let my alpha aura out. I knew it had little effect on Renee and Sophia but I didn't care. "Well, I was hoping this would have gone smoother but obviously, I should have known better, Sophia, would you like to explain or should I?" Renee was eying her with expectancy. Sophia sighed "I will. I was hoping to do this all together but I'm sure Sebastian will fill her in on everything." I could feel the anger through my mate bond, and I knew she was letting him have it. "So you know, when I went over seas almost two years ago to continue my med studies while my dad watched over the pack for me, you know since I was training to be an all round better alpha than you." She teased and stuck her tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes, I do have to hand it to her. She has studied many different aspects of pack life so she can take care of all her pack members in any way needed. "Well, I linked up with my friend who is a military doctor and let me on to help out and learn. Sebastian was one of the wounded the day I started and I smelt him from a mile away. I nearly ripped the heads off of the doctors that were working on him. He was bad, really really bad, so I had to calm down to allow them to help him." I could feel so many emotions through our bond now. I just hope she is okay.
"By the grace of the Moon Goddess he survived. That night in his room, I had fallen asleep and was visited by the Moon Goddess herself, also though she had brought Sebastian in as well, because she felt it necessary to explain everything about Adaline and you and who she is and what is to come. I wasn't too happy to know he was married and had a baby, but at the same time, to know it was the blessed white wolf. I was more than ecstatic to have her as family and to honour her in protecting her. I mean he was human. How the hell am I going to get mad at him for being a human, ya know? Sebastian, however, was pissed off, he wanted nothing more than to be back with his wife and baby, again hurt, but I understood. Selene, though, told him that she wouldn't be safe and it would be certain death for them if he didn't wait until this moment in time." Goddess, this poor family, I felt awful as much as I loved Adaline and she was mine. I felt so guilty for essentially ripping this family apart. "Apparently, she visited everyone that night because after we awoke and Sebastian allowed me to mark and mate him, he did change as well and he is an amazing wolf. I got a call from Rachel and David and we all agreed on this plan. Selene set everything in motion from that point on."
"Goddess, I am confused, pissed, annoyed, and I feel incredibly guilty." They all looked at me with pity, "Don't feel guilty love, this is how it was meant to be all along. I am royally pissed, we were never informed of this lovely plan but," Her sweet voice said as the sparks flew up my arms as she grabbed my hand, "there is nothing we can do about it and, honestly, what would we do? I do feel bad now though, as I can feel your guilt and jealousy." I looked into her beautiful blue eyes " I only felt guilty about how everything hurt your family and, yes, a little jealous, but I mean I'm trying to not, since I know I dont need to be." I turned to Sebastian who was holding Sophia's hand, I walked to him held out my hand and he took it "thank you, for loving her, taking care of her and protecting her when I wasn't there." He smiled wide shook my hand back "thank you for now being there for her, protecting her and loving her the way she deserves from now to forever." I pulled him into the biggest hug, things were going to be okay with us, "oh congratulations!" He looked at me strange, Adaline giggled, "our wolves could smell the baby," she said walking to us and hugging Sophia. They pulled back and nodded to each other while Sebastian and I looked at them confused. "Were women guys we, could say the same thing you all did but with a hug and a nod." Adaline was smiling while her hand was on Soph's belly, "do you want to know what it is?" My eyes shot to hers, "you can tell what their baby is?" She laughed "one of our gifts I guess." Sebastian and Sophia looked at each other, smiled and nodded. "Okay but first Seb" she said while looking at him kind of sad, "you need to see James." His head whipped to the door, "my boy" he whispered as tears came from his eyes as he saw James come out the door.
