Smoke and the Wolf

Chapter 30

Vlad rushed home to his family freaking out for one reason or another. He apologized for leaving suddenly but he was a family man after all. Kelly was trying to get Phoenix under control, who was never allowed out because she loved death too much. Mercy came out of her room when she heard her father was coming home sooner. She felt better after what Ira said to her, how she was alone.

Thierry was outside waiting for Vlad to get back so he could fill him in on what happened. Remmy was great full the spirit was out of Mercy, but now also sad that she could no longer see or hear him, the only possible way she saw him during that ordeal was because of the spirit. He stood next to Mercy, watching her. "I will always be here for you, just know how to call out." He said, hoping she heard him.

"What the hell happened! Are my daughter and fiancée safe?!" Vlad yelled at Thierry when he got home. "What is happening here. I left for a few days and things have gone to hell!"

"Calm the hell down. Mercy is safe, and so is Kelly. You can thank the dragon...What's her name? Zaphira, for making sure she is safe now." Thierry shook his head at Vlad, being overprotective as normal.

"Well. I'm glad everyone is safe. Where are those three? I should probably make sure that they are safe and that this normally doesn't happen." Vlad was looking around for his daughter, wondering where she was. She came outside for the first time in a while and ran to her father, tears running down. "Never leave me again daddy! Please!" Vlad was looking at Thierry, wondering WTF really happened.

"I think they are up in their room.... sealing the mating bond...Not sure though." Thierry saw Vlad's expression when Mercy came out, even he really didn't know the whole truth...maybe Mercy would tell them when she's able to.

Mercy just looked sad and almost pathetic. She was happy her father was back but didn't want to tell him what she did. She still couldn't believe what she did. "How's my baby?" Vlad had his arms stretched out wide. Mercy just looked at him with dead dried out eyes. "I'm glad your back." She then turned back to Thierry, looked down and said, "I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused."

Thierry smiled some, "Don't be sorry kid, you lost your mate, there's no reason to be sorry." Thierry said.

Vlad looked at Thierry and then quickly back at his daughter. "Okay. What really happened while I was gone?" Kelly was trying to get Phoenix under control but with all the excitement, it was too hard to contain her.

"Thierry! I need you to get some silver chains. I can't explain. Please. Hurry!"

"Tell you in a sec." Thierry said running off, hearing his sister yell for him to get silver chains, he went to his room and grabbed a spare set for when Jax got out of control, he went back down to his sister, "Why do you need them?" He asked looking at her.

"I can't control Phoenix. Once I can't, everyone is in danger. She kills for fun. I can't let her out. Now she's ripping her way out!"

Thierry moved quickly, he put one of the cuffs on Kelly's wrist and wrapped it around her back putting the other cuff on her other wrist.

"You think silver will stop me. I'm no ordinary wolf brother. I am a hellhound. I had to be there when you left her. Strong enough for the both of us." Kelly was struggling to regain control. "Just ignore her. She doesn't mean what she says."

Thierry's eyes flashed that of Jax's, "I had no choice but to leave." He said checking to make sure the chains were good.

Kelly knew what she did to her brother. She knew and it eats her alive some nights. "I know. I know and I'm sorry. Please go. I don't want to hurt you."
