Chapter Twenty-six
(Tyler’s POV)
I hated leaving her with him but she was right it would make a great distraction. I just felt bad, I told her I’d never let him touch her and then I leave them together. I didn’t like the look his eyes when he saw her, they were full of lust. I just had to hope she knew what she was doing and that Faith and Antonio could get to her quick enough if she needed them. I slowly walked through the woods trying to pick up a certain scent. So far I couldn’t find it anywhere, although me worry about Mia was distracting me a little. Also if someone doesn’t want to be found it usually makes it harder. I knew this part of the plan would probably be the hardest but I never expected it to be this difficult. The longer and longer it was taking the more wound up I was getting. After a few more minutes I found myself back by the spring-water pool. I walked over towards a log by the water’s edge and sat down. Everything was just so messed up; it was all becoming so difficult. This was first time that I was really in charge of anything, I had sort of become the leader of my own little group and it was overwhelming. Even with faith being older than me I still felt as though I was the only one was willing to do what was right for the pack. I know that if things hadn’t have happened the way they had in the past, I would have been an alpha one day. If Hope hadn’t have been attacked, my dad would have taken over from my dad and then I would take over from him. I knew I had alpha blood running through my veins but at the same time it all just seemed a little unreal. I wasn’t a leader; I was the joker, the fun one. Yes most of that was an act but sometimes it’s nice not to have the responsibility of it all. I knew if I couldn’t pull this off then a lot of people could get hurt or killed. I knew that after all this was over I would never be the same again.

(Luca’s POV)
Time has no meaning to me anymore. I’d been sat down here for hours, days and week’s maybe, who knows. My wounds were starting heal a little bit, not much but it’s a start. Layla had been silent since the realisation of who her father was. To be honest it had taken me aback as well, to suddenly realise I had a niece I knew nothing about. Not so long ago I wanted nothing more than to kill her, Christ a couple of days ago I wanted to hurt her when she told me people were coming for Mia. Part of me still hated her a little bit but part of me just wanted to protect her. She had a terrible childhood; in fact she was still a child really, thanks to my piece of shit older brother. The silence was getting me; the emptiness was getting to me. I wanted to feel part of something again, I needed it. It killed me to know that my own flesh and blood was feeling this way. I hated knowing that she felt alone, that she had felt alone so much in her life. I needed to make things right, I know it’s not my job to make things right but I need to. I know now that my arse of brother poisons everything around him. I needed to save her, I needed to show her what life was supposed to be like. I need to show the real meaning of family.
“I don’t need saving.” I heard Layla whisper.
“Excuse me?” I asked confused.
“I don’t need saving.” She repeated.
“I didn’t say anything.” I replied.
“You might not have said anything but I still heard you.” she said.
I looked up at blankly trying to get my head around what she was telling me.
“Like I said I didn’t say anything, there was nothing for you hear.” I said.
“And I like I said you might not have said you didn’t have to say anything, I still heard you. And you’re right it not your job to make things right.” I said finally lifting her head to look at me.
