Just A Taste Of Heaven

Chapter 32 - Voices

They were all stunned by what had just happened and let Faith leave the room without stopping her, and before they could react, they were overwhelmed by the memories they had forgotten.  Remembering wasn't painful, but the loss of their loved ones - whom they hadn't been able to mourn - hit them hard.

Landon and Lucas were worried about their parents and their cousin. Having not met Faith themselves 8 years and 4 months earlier, they were unaffected. Nevertheless, the reaction, or rather lack of reaction, of their relatives was not normal and it was obvious that something else was going on.

The first to react was Levi, who addressed the former Beta and Gamma of Lockwood's pack. He ordered them to show him the memory to which Faith had referred.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Landon warned him.

Levi ignored him and forcibly took the Beta's hand before ordering him again to share his memories with her. Unable to do otherwise between Faith's order and Levi's, he shared all the memories concerning Faith's hunt. After a few minutes, Livid, Levi snapped his neck before doing the same with Gamma.

"That's why you're two Betas... You were never mine..." Levi commented, looking at Landon.

"What are you talking about?" Lucas asked.

"Faith is my A- uh...my Leader. She's who my loyalty is with." Landon replied.

"Protect her with your life." Levi inquired.

"How can you ask him that! You're as crazy as her! As if she could be a Leader, only males can be Alphas. A she-wolf like her can't lead anybody! I need help, how can you worry about her when I'm carrying your heir-" Mila declared.

"Shut up!" Levi ordered her.

"Take her to the hospital and never leave her side. She can't stay alone even a second. Not a word to anyone about what happened here." Levi demanded of the guards.

He turned to Mila and ordered, "I forbid you to say a word to anyone about what happened here! Try one of your dirty tricks and as soon as you've given birth to this child I'll kill you."

Mila wanted to protest but couldn't overrule Levi's order. Once Mila and the guards were gone, he locked the door and asked his parents and family, "You remember too, don't you?"

"Remember what?" Lucas asked.

His father looked devastated and looked toward Danika. When their eyes met, both burst into tears. Dean Saveat and Lorena hugged each other, also crying. His mother, too, had tears in her eyes and a face marked by horror and grief. But whose death?

"Are they really dead?" Danika cried.

"My little sister..." Hector Saveat sobbed.

"To think that all this time she was my niece! Once again I've failed in my role as brother and uncle." He added angrily.

"And so I'm her godmother! What a godmother I am!" Danika sighed, ashamed.

"'The boys, we have to go to them!" Lorena declared.

"Can someone explain to me what the hell's going on?!" Lucas demanded.

"Nevaeh is my destined mate. She's an Alpha and for that she and her family were hunted down as they tried to flee. Her parents were killed before they got here. Her parents were best friends in college with your father and Danika, which is why they were trying to come here to earn our protection and that of Danika's coven." Levi explained.

"How do you know all this?" Landon questioned.

"Because this isn't the first time I've met her. She and her two brothers came here after their parents were murdered, eight and a half years ago. You and Landon were away on a soccer camp. Neveah's mother was Dean Saveat's sister." Levi replied.
