Tori POV

Chloe had taken Derek aside to tell him everything. How Darius and Lilly are his children. When she birthed them, what hospital. Everything he needed to know about them. Afterwards, Derek shared his side of his story. Why he left. which is because his brothers were going to hurt chloe and how shortly after, they met up with another pack. And how Katherine was after him, which was probably why the kids were taken.

That was a few hours ago. At the moment we where driving to an abandoned building outside the city. Derek was driving, with Chloe in the passenger seat, sharing more information about Lilly and Darius. Simon was in the seat beside me, trying to comfort me about Harper. But really, I just wanted to punch him in the face.

"Derek...?" I said softly. I hated that I needed his help but it couldn't be helped. Derek grunted, he heard. "I need you to help me get Harper back. She's 5 years old. She's an innocent little girl." I was near tears. I never liked Derek, and here I am, practically begging for him to help me. He nodded. Thank god.

Soon, we pulled up to an abandoned building. As soon as we pulled to a stop, I jumped out of the van. Derek was right behind me, pulling me back. "Derek! Let me go!" I was about to hit him with a knock-back spell but he shushed me. "Tori! You can't just barge in there. Knowing my brothers, they'll have someone guarding the doors. They're probably only doing this because Katherine is nagging them. Let me go in first to make sure the coast is clear and I'll come back to get you guys. So stay here!" He growled the last part.

So here we were, outside waiting for 10 minutes. Then he appeared, jestering for us to follow him. With him leading the way, "I saw no one in the halls. We don't have to worry about Ian coming after us. He's weak. Not much of a fighter. You have to watch out for Alexander. He'll be the one carrying knives. If you see him, book it. Avoid him. No exceptions. Nate, he's the one who can get information out of people. so he'll be with the children." Rounding a corner, we could see doors. A girl with long brown hair walked into a room and closed the door. We made our way down the hall, then... A little girl screamed. HARPER!

Running towards the door, I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't move. Somewhere in the building, a low growl sounded. Darius. He's such a sweetheart. Protective of Harper and Lilly. Derek pulled me away from the door, and had managed to get it open. Just in time to see a snake strike towards Harper. Derek reached the snake and threw it across the room where it hit with a sickening thud. It laid there, unmoving. "Mommy!" Harper cried.

"Harper!" Running past Derek, I untied Harper, hugging her. "Baby.."

Jessica left, but not before she hit me across the face. My cheek stinging, Katherine started into me. Wanted to know where Derek was. Her mate. Derek.. Mom said that's mine and Darius's fathers name. Is she talking about the same Derek mom was talking about? "Let's go over this again! Derek! Where is he, you pathetic child?" She raised her hand to hit me, when the door burst open. "MOM!" I could tell I had tears running down my cheeks. I didn't care. Mom was here and somehow, everything will be okay.

"Lilly!" Mom cried out. She moved to walk into the room, when someone pulled her back. "Derek! You came back!" Katherine yelled out. 'Derek' growled at her. He looks like Darius. So maybe he is our father. He stalked towards Katherine. "I knew you would be back. We're meant to be together. Werewolf with werewolf. The way its meant to be. Not with a human!" Uh-oh, she's mad. And Werewolf? They don't exist. Do they?

Mom ran towards me, untying me. "Lilly. Baby, are you okay? No, you're not. Who hit you?" Kissing my sore cheek she hugged me to her. Hugging back, I didn't want to let her go.

"Get her out of here, Chloe." Derek growled out. Katherine finally realized that I wasn't tied up anymore. She growled.

Why is everyone growling? "Let's find Darius." "Mom! We gotta find Harper! She screamed!" Holding me close, she whispered, "It's alright. Aunt Tori has her. I need you to stay with Uncle Simon okay?" Nodding, she passed me on to uncle Simon. "Hey kiddo. you okay?" Mumbling, I just nodded my head.
