We're Still Standing...Book 5

Writing The Wrongs Right

Kaiden POV 

"We royally fucked up." Zander said as we were sitting in the family room on the NICU floor yet again with the ICU, but at least it's the pack hospital and not the city. 

"Definitely. I know we were busy and had a lot going on but taking an hour to call and talk to him or go see him when we would go see Zeke, there really isn't any good excuse as to why we didn't. I can't believe we weren't there to show him support like we should have, especially when he walked again, that moment I'm sure meant a lot to him and we missed it. Seems we missed a lot of his life since we didn't even know he rejoined the Marines and met a guy. Why didn't we feel it when he and his fiance slept together when he felt it each time we did? God can you imagine that Zander? I wish we would have felt it so we knew how he felt, we are the worst mates in fucking history. We should have listened to your dad and not your wise words that he needs time to heal without us. I'd imagine we didn't feel it because the bonds he had with us were gone but us with him weren't is the only thing I can think of. Hell if that's the case then are we even his mates anymore?" I asked and if so, well it's our fault internally. 

"I don't know, I don't want to not be mates with him but if so, who can help fix what we did? I feel like complete crap right now." Zeke said and we nodded, knowing exactly how he feels. 

"If only there was a way to take it all back and start over, tell him the truth about us and be there for him like we are for each other. I feel worthless, before I had top surgery worthless and I hate this feeling. I want it to be how it was before, I want Julian back." Zeke sobbed and Zander and I held him, wishing the same thing. If we could redo it all over again, we would do everything differently and make sure we were there for Julian when he needed us and wanted us there. 

"Also we had another mate we didn't know about who rejected us and left. We really are the worst mates in history." Zander said after a bit when Zeke calmed down.

"That can be fixed." We looked toward the door and Ian was there, with Adriel. 

"What can be fixed?" We all asked. 

"To put it simply, everything. I saw a horrible future for you all, Seth included and it isn't pretty. Julian ends up killing himself because of the pain, Zander goes rogue, Zeke gets into drugs and alcohol and you Kaiden, you go back to the true evil Satan you are trying so hard to not be. I don't want to see that future for my son and his mates so I am willing to help you, if only you help yourselves. This what I am going to do only does so much, you have to do your parts, if you do then your future will be bright." 

"We will do anything to fix our mistakes dad, please help us." 

"As you wish my boy." 

"No, wait. I, Ian Morningstar, accept you all as my mates." We looked at Ian and he sighed. We know he didn't one hundred percent accept us after our fighting almost killed Matty and Brandon.

"Thank you, Ian." Zeke said, hugging him. 

"If that's all…" Adriel sighed, he was most likely sleepy and a sleepy angel is a real devil. 

"Sorry, dad." He huffed and we blushed.

Adriel and Ian held hands chanting in Gaelic and their eyes turned white and a beam of light surrounded us from the ground and we were no longer standing in front of Adriel and Ian but we were in the forest near the packhouse. I squint my eyes and I blink a few times, not sure if what I'm seeing is real.

"Ah guys?" Zeke said looking at the same thing Zander and I are.

"Are you seeing us?" We all asked at once.
