Carter #HMS1

Chapter 18

Evelyn's POV

"Yes... Yes... Yes... Alright... Keep me informed" Carter snapped his phone shut, tossing it carelessly on his table.

"Will you stop stressing so much? We will find him alright?" I got up from the couch in his office, walking right up to him before and wrapping my arms around his neck, his head leaning on mine.

"I will not rest until he is dead Evelyn. And after he is, I want to introduce you to my pack and proclaim you the Luna" he commented, making my eyes snap up to his.

"You really want to do that huh?" I questioned with a tinge of nervousness in my voice.

"Yes, Luna" he said, making me blush further.

"And never did I ever think I would be worthy of that title. I mean just a few months ago I had no idea I would be the Luna of the strongest pack in America. But then again back then I had no idea that I had a brother, or that my parents were alive, or that they were part of the SOWP, or that they would take pleasure in torturing-"

"That's enough" he growled "The past is the past. From now on, I promise you that I will not let any harm come to you" he vowed, sealing his lips with mine. I smiled into the kiss, letting his tongue slip into my mouth to explore it. "I lo-"

BRINNGGG

His words were abruptly cut off by the sound of his ringing phone. He parted with a frustrated sigh and walked to the table, picking the phone back up. I thought back to what he was going to say. There were lots of outcomes that could have been released from my mouth, so instead of worrying I focused my attention on Carter, who had heat steaming off of him as he ended the call and faced me.

"They found him."

"Who?"

"Your father. They're taking him to the cells right now" he stated, my eyes widening.

"Let's go" was my simple comment as I grabbed his hand and started dragging him through his pack house towards the dungeons.

He led me through a dark hallway, towards the last cell in the area. Two guards were standing with their arms crossed outside the door.

"Is he chained?" Carter asked the one of the on the left.

"Yes Alpha" he replied, his head bowed down.

"Open the door" he commanded. The guard turned the huge lock, making a click sound before he pulled the large door open.

I squinted my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the cell, the awful stench of blood filled my nose as I followed behind Carter.

"Where is he?" A voice erupted from behind us, as an angry Eddy entered through the cells, approaching us.

He pushed through the guards way coming in line with us. As soon as lights turned on, our faces fell upon someone who used to be our father. Someone who used to be the nicest person ever. Who used to read to his daughter at night, and tell her stories of how he convinced mommy to be with him. My heart swelled, but I ignored it, returning my mind to what he had become. A murderer. Someone who went from reading to his daughter to torturing her. All for power. A lone tear escaped my eyes as I looked at the dirty man tied up in chains on a chair. His face was covered with blood, his clothes ripped and his body filthy. He disgusted me. My mate and brother growled from beside me, and Carter walked up to him first, punching him square in the face, Eddy followed, mirroring his actions.

"HOW DARE YOU TORTURE MY MATE? YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!"

"You're sick! I can't believe you used to be my parent" my brother spat, throwing another slap to his face. I stood at the corner of the cell, watching silently. The whole time my father's bloody face formed a smirk as he looked at me, his eyes never leaving mine.

Just as my brother was about to throw another punch in his direction I decided to step in.

"Stop" it was a simple word, with no emotion whatsoever. I walked out of the cell, looking up to one of the guards. "Do you have a weapon?" I questioned.

The guard on the left moved his hand, pulling a gun out his waist band and handing it to me. I thanked him, picking the gun up and walking back into the cell, my brother and mate still confused as to what my intentions were. I ignored them looking right into my father's eyes.

"Looks like you failed your mission after all" and then, I raised the gun, shooting him right in the head, knowing that he was dead less than a minute later. With that, and not a glance anywhere else, I walked out of the dungeons handing the guard his gun back on my way out.

I made my way towards Carter and I's room where I sat down on the couch by the corner, looking out of the window, recapping my life, and I remembered everything.

I remembered when my parents had died, and I was taken in by my grandmother. I remembered how after years of remaining silent, I opened up again, I learnt how to laugh and live again. I remember graduating with James by my side, and getting a job as the pack scientists. I remember the day my grandmother had died, and I received the threat, I remembered how Carter had rejected me. I remember finding out I had a brother, and that my parents were part of the SOWP. I remember getting kidnapped again and again. I remember finding out my parents were alive and facing their torture until my mate saved me. I remember every precious moment I shared with my mate. I remembered everything. And with all the strength in me, I let it go. I let everything go, forgetting every bad memory that was buried within me.

I soon felt a pair of arms snake through my waist and hold me, and I knew who it was. I knew by the sparks, I knew by the comfort that it was my mate. I leaned back into his embrace, my back on his chest as we silently continued looking out through the window. I knew that he would always be there for me, I knew that it was us forever from that day forward. I knew that there would be no better feeling that being with the man that I loved. And there was no right or wrong time to tell him. I turned around in his arms, facing him instead of the window, our eyes boring into each other's.

"I love you" I said without hesitation, because it was true.

"I love you too" he replied, his smile mirroring mine as his mouth joined to mine. It wasn't filled with passion or hunger. Just the one simple emotion we had expressed for each other. Love.

My parents were gone, the SOWP was gone.

It was over.

*****

"Are you ready?" he asked me for the millionth time. I looked down at my dress, feeling satisfied with what Casey and Ashley had done with my look.

"Yes" I replied, smiling as he grabbed my hand. He placed a soft kiss on my temple before guiding me out the double doors, where over 1,000 people were in sight. My heart started beating slightly faster as I smiled whilst looking at the members of the Dark Shadows pack.

The stage came into view as Carter guided me up to it, his mouth meeting the microphone, his voice exploding through it.

"Welcome everyone." A smile was spread across everyone's face as they looked at their Alpha in pride. My friends and family were gathered towards the centre of all the crowd, a huge grin on their faces. "We are gathered here today, to introduce you all to my mate and Luna of the Dark Shadows Pack. Please welcome, Evelyn Jones!" I stepped out from behind Carter, a blush on my cheeks as I smiled politely at everyone. A wave of joy rushed through the crowd as they all cheered for me.

This was it.

I was officially the Luna of the biggest pack in America.

My pack.
