In the heart of darkness

52

  He says frowning when I notice Daniel, Rob and Max standing to the side crying. I pout surprised that they care. I go to them and they pull me into a group hug.
 
  "Carly cù, damn we missed you!"
 
  Rob tells me kissing my head.
 
  "Yeah don't do that again."
 
  Max points his finger at me
  
  "Next time you're not allowed outside unless one of us is there, plenty of room to smoke on all those balconies in that big house you built! you don't need to go outside without a guard! Understand"
 
  Daniel scolds me making me chuckle
 
  "I understand"
 
  I pull away as Carter pulls me into his chest kissing my cheek again.
 
  "Come we need to get out of here"
 
  "Your really not going to kill them after what they did"
 
  Daniel snaps, Carter raises his eyebrow in the air
 
  "Sorry alpha but they did take our queen there should be consequences"
 
  "And there will be, but for now we need to get them home"
 
  "What do you mean there will be? You said none of them will get hurt"
 
  "I said I wouldn't hurt them. They have until arden gets here to run but they kidnapped the royal family, they are werewolves so they are under his rule not mine. What he does to them for wasting his time is another thing, now come on I want to get you home"
 
  He pulls me into the back of the jeep and he wraps me in his arms. I grab a bottle of water and drink some of it then a joint as my belly rumbles
 
  "I'm starving. Can we get something to eat?"
 
  "Yes please i haven't eaten anything since our wedding"
 
  Carter tells me I frown looking at him
 
  "How long has it been?"
 
  "Almost 2 days since they took you"
 
  "Carter you did not starve yourself for 2 damn days you fool!"
 
  "It's not considered as starving if your 2 sick with worry to eat"
 
  Dad tells me, smiling as he hugs both mum and Scott who is still crying.
 
  "18 damn years i've not been without you for more than a few hours. You're never allowed to leave my side again and you are not allowed to leave the bedroom ever either!"
 
  "I'm going to leave the bedroom Scott"
 
  "No! He's right, never again! Do you realise what we have been through! Hell, Lucy, absolute hell. Poor Carter was blown up and they shoot at the poor fucker like 20
  Different times. We had to get arrested—-"
 
  "Wow wow go back you were blown up?"
 
  "Here i've been saving the video for you"
 
  Daniel says from the front grinning at me Carter snorts as I take the phone mum and Ashley lean over so they can see to as I watch the van explode but when the dust settles Carter is still sitting in the same position with half a steering wheel in his hand. I snort and howl in laughter so does mum and Ashley. I laugh until tears run down my cheeks.
 
  "And then jaxon told him to stick his head out the window because he was getting dust everywhere and he actually did it"
 
  I snort looking up at him and kissing his lips again.
 
  "Why did you let yourself get arrested"
 
  "Because one of them works for the police so we got arrested so we could get information and it worked"
 
  Dad tells us
 
  "Yeah tell them what I made you say to piss them off"
 
  Carter smirks at me. Suddenly they all go very quiet until mum gasps slapping dads around the head then she reaches over and slaps mark and then Carter
 
  "Awch I didn't say anything"
 
  "Oh I heard you laugh and encourage them. Seriously telling them you fucked there wives what is wrong with you all"
 
  "You did what!"
 
  Ashley growls turning on Mark's knee he looks to the roof like a bad child
 
  "I was just doing what I was told, blame your brother he forced me"
 
  Ashley turns and slaps Carter around the head
 
  "Hey what the fuck he's lying I didn't force him he enjoyed pissing them of!"
 
  Mark growls at Carter as Ashley slaps him around the head again.
 
  "Please don't be mad at us lucy, I just told my guys that they shouldn't lie to there wife's and in this day and age it's ok to be gay"
 
  I snort looking at dad as jaxon gives mum puppy dog eyes
 
  "And mine deserved a beating for having sex with his partners wife! Can you imagine! The man deserved to know"
 
  Mum looks away from them still thick as I look at Carter
 
  "What did you say?"
 
  "I told them if they wanted to make themselves useful to bring as many cops into the station as possible to watch the show. So they did, then I walked out. It was really rather simple"
 
  "Yeah for you maybe, he let them beat me up for like 3 hours"
 
  Mark points to Carter telling Ashley like a bad child trying to get out of trouble, Ashley hits Carter around the head again and he growls turning in his seat and he slaps mark around the head 3 times
 
  "Everytime you hit me I'm going to hit him"
 
  Ashley testing the theory slaps Carter again so Carter slaps mark, she slaps him twice so he slaps mark twice
 
  "Would you sit down"
 
  Dad grabs Carter and yanks him back in his chair
 
  "Well tell her to stop hitting me!"
 
  "Ashley, stop hitting your brother!"
 
  "Because he hit mark!"
 
  "Because you hit me"
 
  He growls back at her as dad pinches the bridge of his nose
 
  "Please love shout at them for us"
 
  Scott pleads and she sticks her nose up even higher completely pissed
 
  "Please don't be mad, we were going crazy and I couldn't cope without you so I would have done anything to get you back please don't stay mad at me because you have been gone for so long and I can't take it"
 
  Scott tears up, wiping his face as mum's nose slowly comes down.
 
  "He's right we would have done anything"
 
  "Anything?"
 
  Mum asks them
 
  "Anything"
 
  They both say at the same time and she huffs
 
  "Fine I'll not be mad"
 
  "Are we driving home?"
 
  I ask yawning, I was starving
 
  "Hell no i've looked at their faces long enough, we will have a chopper drop us home"
 
  Carter tells me, making me chuckle as he sucks on my throat. I moans relaxing against him.
  ——————-
 
  I had never been so delighted to get home, as we drove in our people hoarded towards my parents house.
 
  "they really do love you 3 you know, all of them were so worried"
 
  Carter tells me kissing under my ear, he hadn't taken his hands off me since he found me and I wasn't complaining, my light has burned my skin leaving burn marks that looked like vein all over my body and just being near Carter means his power filters mine, it was happening gradually and it will probably take a few days to correct itself. I climb out of the car and people gush in my direction, Daniel max and Rob grab me and pull me behind them.
 
  "Don't touch her"
 
  It was for their own good aswell as mine the veins in my body would burn them. Only Carter could touch me like this.
 
  "Just be careful everyone, my power will burn you, thanks so much for helping To look for us"
 
  "Yes we are so grateful for the help but we are all exhausted and need to go rest but we will see you around the pack in a few days time"
 
  Mum tells them, they agree and start to leave as I yawn. I had eaten like 4 burgers and now I was tired. Carter scoops me up bridal style
 
  "Let's go rest mums making dinner later so we can see you all then"
 
  "Is mum making dinner? And did anyone ask mum if mum wanted to make dinner"
 
  Mum asks us, we all pout at her and she rolls her eyes
 
  "Fine mums making dinner, go clean up you all stink"
 
  She rants walking into the house making me giggle. I whistle for ghost to follow us, he jumps from the car and follows us home to our house biting at Carter's feet the entire way. I watch as Carter's jaw ticks but I can't help but giggle. The wolf isn't even a little scared of him and I can't help but be entertained by it.
 
  "You could teach him some manners you know? He won't listen to me but he does listen to you"
 
  "Stop it ghost"
 
  He stops and runs on to greet the other wolves and Carter growls
 
  "Why does he hate me so much I don't get it"
 
  He stomps up the steps like a baby huffing.
 
  "I even saved his life then gave him armour. It's not fair"
 
  I grab his face and I kiss him.
 
  "Who cares if he doesn't like you I do"
 
  He growls against my lips peeking them before opening the door to our house. He carries us downstairs and into the bathroom. He runs the bath and turns pulling my shirt off my body. He stepped back to look at me, his eyes were hungry, I didn't even wait I jump on him kissing him.
