Fear Of Rejection (Dawson's Book 1) | COMPLETED

Chapter 21 - Nash POV

I spent the whole day worrying that my father was back but several search parties were sent out and no one saw anything so it was just a look alike seen earlier this morning. With that settled I head up to bed where melody has the boys on either side of her reading them a book.

"You know they won't understand you. And why are you reading them one of your cheesy romance books" I tease her. Oliver starts clapping for god know what reason while Ryder puts the book in his mouth.

"Ry no!" Mel says why trying to get his slobbery mouth off the book. "Good boy" I say while laughing at her attempt to get the book off of Ryder. "Don't encourage his bad behaviour" she growls at me which only makes me laugh even more.

"You know how when I marked you we were both glowing" I ask remembering the conversation I had with the elder today

"Yeah did you work out what happened?"

"It turns out that we were both born with powers. Me marking you unlocked them. Which is why my father didn't want me to find my mate. We are practically indestructible"

"What sort of powers. Ohh can I fly" I laugh at the adorable look on her face. "I'm not sure. But I know we have fire. We tested it today. The elder said we will discover more powers in time"

Two hours later the boys are in bed and asleep so me and Mel can finally have some alone time.

"God I love you so much" I say as I rip off her shirt. Just as she goes to reply the babies start screaming.

They cry at night all the time but they have never screamed or been this upset.

Panic flies through both our eyes as we run to their room.

A man in black is holding a needle to Oliver's little body and Ryder is completely unmoving. My heart drops and I punch the man in the head before he can inject any more of whatever is in the needle into Oli.

The man turns to face me and I panic all over again when I see who it is. Ezra.

"It's too late. Your precious sons will be dead by morning"

"NOO!" I scream and flames burst out of my hands. What the hell?

"You marked her?" my father says with complete panic. I grab him around the neck and his body sets on fire like my hands. I will the fire to stop. I'm lucky I went to see the elders today. This could have ended so much worse if I didn't.

As the flames die and his lifeless body lays on the floor the only thing I can think of is getting the babies to the pack doctor.

No matter what I do I can't get Ryder to wake up and I can't help the tears running down my face. "Please don't be dead. You have to live."
