New Blood

9&10 trigger warning. Suicide attempt

Drakes POV

As I lay in the darkness I could hear baylee's scream ripple through the ground. It felt like a bolt of lightning hitting me right in the heart. I heard Caden talk. Oh how I adore that kid. He's smart he's funny he's loyal and so good to his siblings and baylee. I try to avoid calling them brother and sister but sometimes it just comes out. It might be weird but I don't care, I just care that he will love her and protect her. And she will love him and protect him.

I heard a car start and suddenly I could move my chest, I tried to move my toes and they finally started to wiggle. Then my fingers. I willed my eyes to open but when they did I closed them instantly as the sun hit me right in the eyes. I could feel someone lift me into a car so I opened my eyes again. This time they focused and I could see Matt and Ben in the front. And finally my limbs started to move. I cleared my throat and slowly my body woke up.

"Wow that was weird"

I said dryly looking for some water. I realised then lilly wasn't in the car.

"Where is lilly? Is she ok did it work for her to?"

The men side eyed each other then Matt looked back at me.

"She's alive but still sleeping. You were responding so we took you with us. Caron said the Luna needs more time but her heart is still beating and she should wake soon"

He handed me water and I took a large drink letting it ease my dry throat. I couldn't think about her now. I needed to think of the kids if I think of my lilly I'd break down and never be ok again. I shook the thought out of my head and looked to my men.

"How long was I out?"

"30 minutes. I think we are heading to Nashville. They don't seem to have caught on that we are following them yet"

Ben said calmly. I was anything but calm. My little girl and my son were with those monsters. We might have a bad reputation but we only killed those that threatened our pack. They did it for fun and I still didn't understand why.

'Dad are you there?'

Relief flooded me as I heard his voice.

'Caden son it's good to hear your voice'

'Yours to how are you? How is mum?'

He sounded worried. Ofcourse he would. He idolised that woman we all do. But he definitely holds a special relationship with his mum and so does she with him.

'Still sleeping son but she's breathing and ok'

I wouldn't worry him. Not now. Not yet. Plus I had to think positive. I had to think of her alive and breathing and happy. Eating cake and drinking coffee.

'Good. In the car there is a rogue with me. He is only young. 17-18. He has agreed to switch sides. His parents were taken and they sent him their body parts to make him help get us. He grew up rogue because of his parents' mistakes. He didn't want to be here and he didn't want to help them so I told him if he helps us he will live. I told him when you come that he needs to kneel in front of you with his hands behind his neck and say 'caden had mercy on me and I'm here to help' He will fight with you and answer anything you ask his name is Jeff'

I tensed at his words. Fuck why does he have to be so trusting

'Are you sure you can trust him'

'I can see it in his face. He doesn't want to be here and he doesn't want to hurt us or anyone in our pack. His family is not to be trusted but he seems ok.'

How much has he talked to this kid. How does he know about his family already. He's smart il give him that

'If that's what you think is best then that's ok with me son. Ask them where we are going'
