Sloan's POV

Carter was sleeping soundly on the bed, and I was grateful. I didn't want him to see just how angry and full of rage that currently was dripping out of me. 

I was pacing back and forth and Loren was doing the same. We could still smell them in the house. They hadn't left and I don't think they will until they get what they want. 

My Carter.

Over my dead fucking body. The moment our bond snapped into place I could feel him. I could feel his feelings it was overwhelming. So much sadness, fear, and anxiety. It angered me like never before. Loren told me that he was talking with Theo and was doing everything he could to soothe him as well. Both our mates hurting and in pain.

I debated locking us away in here until they left. No longer trusting that I could keep my temper at bay. But if I don't go down there, I know they'd stay. And right now, I need to put my personal feelings aside and focus on Carter and what he needs. His saying that all he wants is for us to be happy, and to continue the life we have created almost made me burst into tears.

I was trying so desperately not to scream and yell 'I love you' because it wasn't the time. But I do. I love him so much. So much it hurts and it's aching to be let out in any way possible.

I took a deep breath and looked at my sleeping mate. I buried him under the blankets, but not before changing his clothes and putting his sweats on. I knew what I needed to do. I needed to go and speak with them. Let them know that any conversations will only be had when I am present. I will be doing all the talking, and now that we have our mindlink he won't have to sign to tell me what he wants to say. 

I'll be the only one communicating with him. And the only one to hear his beautiful voice for however long he sees fit.

'Loren, let's try to keep a level head while we are down there.' I knew I would be able to control myself, but Loren...Loren could take over me if he wanted to.

'I will try. Only for Theodore.' He growled and slightly bared his teeth. 

I walked to Carter gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead and turned to walk out of the room. I made sure the door was closed to walk a different way than when he came up so they couldn't figure out what room he was in. Not that I'd let them get that far.

Once downstairs, Crispin and Dieter were in the living room. Looking worried as ever, leaning into each other for support. I wanted to spit at them.

'Now who needs a levelhead.' Loren teased but I ignored him. 

Sean and Addi had appeared and were sitting as far away as possible from their parents, and poor Turner was nowhere to be found. I wondered if he was off telling Byn and James about what was happening. 

I decided against sitting. I stood firmly in the doorway so that no one could leave without passing me. And I would make sure that they didn't want to. I crossed my arms and I squinted my eyes as they all noticed my presence.
