Chapter 8

3rd Person P.O.V

It was now 8 at night Grace is sitting on her sofa at her safe house. She bought it 2 years after Ethan was born in case anything like this happened, it was just 4 streets away from the police station. Ben and the team decided that Aaron, Derek and Spencer would stay with Grace. Ben hoping with them staying with her, Grace will start to talk with them

Grace was on her laptop emailing her manger and some of the scouts who wants the name of Amanda, Phoebe, Emmy, Scott, Luke and Kelly. Derek, Aaron and Spencer are walking around the house doing a check to make sure every window is closed and locked and there is no way for someone to get in

"You guys can come in" Grace said without looking at them. She can feel them lingering at the door before Aaron walks in sitting in the arm chair next to her, Derek sits next to Aaron while Spencer sits next to Grace seeing there isn't anywhere else

"Gracelynn-"

"Grace" She cuts Aaron off

"Grace, can we please talk"

Grace sighs closing her laptop, looking up at the three men sitting around her living room "What do you want to talk about?" she asked, Derek and Aaron share a look as Spencer stays silent letting his two mates do the talking "We want to talk about you being our mate. We've been waiting for you for a long time, why just want to know why you've been ignoring us" Derek told her

Grace looked between the three of them, "You know what happened to me. You guys know what my life was like growing up, I took care of my mother after my dad died. After we thought Rose was gone as well, I did everything to keep us afloat" Spencer nods his head he understands better than Derek and Aaron since he had a similar child hood

When his dad left, he was stuck with his mother, taking care of her, going to school, working. That should never had happen, but it did so he knows better then the other two what Grace went through

"When I was younger I dreamed of meeting you guys, but after what happened....and getting Ethan I always thought, my mates wouldn't want me so I told myself it's better to be alone than have mates who wouldn't me"

Grace looked down playing with her hands not wanting to see the looks on the guys face. Spencer gently, grabbed her hand making her look up "We could never leave you. Grace we waited a very long time to be able to meet you and it doesn't matter what happened in the past. All that matters is the future" Spencer told her quietly but his voice was strong

"What about Ethan? I love him and I can't be with someone who won't just because of how I got him"

"That doesn't matter to us. We've seen how much you love Ethan. We've got a son together as well. His names Jack" Derek told her making a smile light up on her faces. Ethan always wanted a brother

"Grace what happened to you and how you got Ethan might have been the worst moment of your life but that will never stop us from being with you. We want you and nothing can change that" Aaron told her with a honest smile

Aaron P.O.V

Grace looked between us before tears formed in her eyes making the three of us freak out "Hey! Hey what's wrong?" Derek quickly went to Grace other side as I kneeled in front of her "Nothing! Nothing's wrong, sometimes my emotions....they get a little out of control" Grace was speaking quietly, her voice small, and smooth. The three of us shared a look knowing immediately what's happening with her

Grace is a Submissive, just like Spencer is. In every relationship there is a submissive and a dominant. For Spencer, Derek and I. Spencer is the submissive while Derek and I are the dominants, it was a 50-50 chance Grace would be a dominant or a submissive. Look's like she is a submissive, the more we worked on the case, the more in became clear

While Grace likes to handle everything on her own, sometimes she falls into headspace though it might be the first time Grace fell, or half-fell into headspace as I can tell she's still here some what "Alright what would you like to do, to get them back in control?" I asked as Spencer pushes her hair away from her face 

"Cuddle?" She asked after a moment "Yeah, let's go into the room" Derek picked her up making her wrap her legs around his waist and her arms around her neck. Spencer set her laptop on the coffee table as we followed behind Derek walking into the master bedroom. Derek lays on the bed holding her on top of him as Spencer got into the bed from the right and I got into the bed from the right

Grace grabbed Spencer hand, as she leans her head on Derek shoulder facing me, "Thank you" she mutters eyes closing "Go to sleep Grace" I kiss her head as her breathing evens out. Spencer head pops up "Will she be okay?" he whispered not wanting to wake her up        

"She will. We'll make sure she will" Derek told him giving him a kiss "You guys get some sleep. I'll keep watch before your shift" Derek and Spencer nodded, closing their eyes as I watched for a few minutes before leaving the room 

At least we talked, I just hope we can catch Rose before she does anymore harm to Grace. I won't allow her to hurt Grace anymore, I won't allow anyone to hurt any of those who's mine
