The Siren

Leave the past behind.

Damn him. Why now? After all of these years why now? I was frozen in deep thought. I'm sure my thoughts were annoying my soulmates as the thoughts spiraled down. Before anyone could react or say anything. I angrily grabbed the photos and walked out the back door to the fire pit. I didn't care who followed me. I wanted no needed those photos gone.

           I threw in into the metal pit and took out a cigarette out of my pocket. I lit it in my mouth, I pour some lighter fluid on the photos. I smiled as I watched them burn. I heard five sets of footsteps follow behind me and just watched me light the photos in silenced.  I let out a low growl at the thought of him watching me and still was. I felt two hands on my shoulder and a pair of arms around my waist.

           I snapped out of my spiral to look to my left to see Dwayne staring at the fire with such an intensity; like he wanted to kill anyone who hurt me. I looked over to my right and saw David with just as much intensity but his was darker. He wanted to torture Darius and make him suffer. I looked slightly down and saw Sam cuddled into my right side. He was scared, but not of me but of whoever sent the package. I felt another pair of arms wrap around me on my left side. I looked down and saw Laddie.

           'When did he get here? Did someone bring him here?'

          "I brought him here. Michael told me what happened and I could tell he wasn't telling the whole truth. I am his mother after all. Laddie felt like something was wrong with you and wanted to come." Lucy said in her usual soft spoken motherly voice.  My body calmed down like it always does in her presence. She was like a second mother to me. I know how hard it is to not be able to believe a family member. 

            I turned to her and smiled as the boys dropped their hands down to their sides. When Lucy saw the boys here she was the least surprise. They had been coming to her two nights ago. Asking where Cali was? If she was ok? If she didn't want them as her mates? So much anxiety was built up in their bodies from not having a mate for so long. More so from Marko and Paul them being the youngest. But you could still tell that Dwayne and David had the same anxiety. They were just better at hiding at it than the other two.

As much as she loved seeing them come to her for help. Lucy had always wanted more children and grew these last few weeks to see the boys as her own as well. It warmed her even more to see them with Cali.

           "Let's go inside and I can make us something to eat." Lucy suggested and it took no time for Paul, Marko, laddie and Sam to go rushing into the house at the mention of food. I let out a small chuckle at the sight and shook my head.  Lucy looked at me and nodded her head signaling that she and I will talk about this later. David, Dwayne and I stood in silence for a little bit.

            Before David broke the silence," so would you like to share of what the package was about and why did you come out to burn it?" 

             "No I am not ready. It's nothing." I said coldly not wanting him to push further.

             "Doll if you went as far as to run and burn it as soon as you saw it. I have a right to know. WE have a right to know. Is it going to put my pack in danger?" David demanded getting more and more angry.

"As I said before David. I am not ready to share! Okay now drop it." I snapped getting up in his face.

Before David could snap at me again;Dwayne snapped him out of it by putting a hand on his shoulder. They both shared a look and I know damn well they were conversing mentally. Visibly David seemed to calm down some but he still looked pissed. He took one last look at me before storming off into the house. I let out a scream of frustration which made the fire grow higher.

"Is he always such an ass!" I yelled out of frustration.

"Not always he's just worried. We went through a battle with your family not too long ago. If it wasn't for Lucy we would have all been permanently dead a while back." Dwayne explained as he walked toward me with caution. I looked at him confused.

           "Not long after the Emerson's moved here. Max met Lucy and he knew she was his mate after the first meeting. So he asked us to turn Michael and Sam. Max wanted all of them to be turned at the same time but wanted to leave Michael to us while he took care of Lucy and Sam. Well things didn't go as planned and we turned Michael first. Michael was very combative especially if Star was involved. Sam had teamed up with the Frog brothers and then Michael to kill us. They went after Marko first they knocked his heart with a stake while we slept. We thought he was actually dead so the rest of us wanted revenge. They doused Paul with Holy water, they shot me with an arrow and electrocuted me and Michael impaled David on a set of deer antlers. Lucy had agreed to become one of us that night. Max felt our connections grow weak so he went healed Marko and then came for the rest of us. We are still confused on how he did it. Max told us it was with his blood but we think there is more he's not telling us." Dwayne finished his story as we just stood there.

             " I'm sorry that happened." I pulled him into a hug. I heard him purr in my hear and nuzzle his head in my neck.

              "It's ok all we can do is leave the past behind and move on. We forgive Sam and we love Lucy. Michael and Star still have their vendetta against us, so we might always be on our guard around them." Dwayne said pulling away from the hug to stare me in the eyes. His hand moved up and moved a strand of hair behind my ear before pulling my head forward so my lips collided with his.

               The kiss with Dwayne was mind melting. Much like the kiss with the others he was gentle about it but had a lot of passion. A sensation that I could get use to as it sent shivers down my spine and made me fall into Bliss.
