At the meeting, Joe, Harrison, Luke, John, Max, Lark, Ace, Lucien and I planned an attack for Silvermoon Pack. Since Benjamin's birth, we've had a lot of stressful encounters with them. I couldn't dare tell this to Athena, she would freak out. Liam has been more persistent. Not with obtaining Athena, but obtaining Amber. Liam has called and wants to make a proposition. We agreed and he's coming. Ten bodyguards will escort him to the meeting in precisely six minutes. We will not have another attack. Our men have trained nine times harder and we have surveillance cameras with motion sensors.
He pulled up almost twenty minutes after Athena left with Ben, Kat and my mother. I trusted them to not let her out of their sight. Liam walked and sat across the table, he had restraints on his feet. I growled lowly and got his attention, "What do you want scum?" I spat,
"Do you want to make a deal with the devil?" he smirked and brought out his phone, "I want Amber." his voice was cold. I rolled my eyes,
"She's part of my Pack. If she wants to go with you, we will let her. Call her over," I told Harrison. "What do we get in return for her?" I asked. He brought me his phone and I saw Athena, Ben, and Kat walking around a park. My mother was nowhere to be seen. I roared slowly and my eyes didn't leave Athena, "Don't fucking touch her." I averted my eyes to the door as Amber walked in,
"A-Alpha. What do you need?" she asked. I saw Liam's eyes turn dark purple then back to his dark green,
"Amber. You may know this man. He is supposedly your mate," her looked at Liam in shock,
"H-Hi?" she murmured,
"Come here," he ordered. Amber walked over to him and he looked her up and down, "You look much like my sister. You'll do," she looked away from him and looked at me, "Look at me when spoken to!" he growled. I roared and stood in front of him,
"You do NOT speak to her like that! I don't care if she's your mate or not! She will be appreciated as part of my Pack!" Amber slowly walked in front of me and stared right into Liam's eyes,
"It's okay, Alpha," she studied his face and held his jaw, "Mate," she whispered. I gently pulled Amber away from him and into the corner,
"There's one little catch," she looked into my eyes,
"W-what is it?" she asked,
"If you would like to. You could stay here, in this Pack with Athena and I. Or, you could join Liam's Pack and be their Luna. Be reminded that Liam is four or so years older than you. He would also hurt Athena and attacked our Pack. This is one hundred percent your decision," I reminded her. He looked over at Liam then me,
"Would I be able to visit?" she questioned,
"I don't think Liam would allow. And I wouldn't allow Liam here again. So, no. I don't think you could visit," she started to grow teary. She leaned in for a hug and cried into her arm,
"I-I want to go. Where's the Luna? I would like to say my goodbyes,"
"We can schedule a day for your good-byes, but you must leave tonight."
"O-okay. I will go tonight. Thank you for everything," she hugged me once more and went back to Liam, "I will come with you before nightfall. I just need to grab some things and I'll meet you here in an hour, Mate," she told Liam before exiting the room,
"Now, release Athena and Benjamin!" I growled. He smirked and called someone,
"Get them," he said to the person on the phone. I growled as loud as I could and held him by his shirt,
"What the fuck did you just do?" I could see in his eyes, he was scared, but he tried to act confident, "Answer me!"
"I want to meet my nephew," he replied. I punched him in the stomach,
"You're not getting to her!" I gnarled.
Athena. Don't talk to anyone and get to the Packhouse. Now!
Chris, someone is following us. We'll try to get home, but I'm scared.
I'll explain everything when I know you're safe.
Okay. I'll take Ben home.
She left the link. I started worrying, no one will get her again. I kicked him in the gut again and pulled him by the collar, "Try this once more and Amber will be staying with my Pack!" I spat at him.
I watched Liam, making sure he couldn't do anything. The door burst open, revealing Athena and Ben. She ran up to me and wrapped an arm around my waist, "W-what's going- Liam? What's he doing here? Chris, please tell me I'm not going back!" she held Ben back and stood behind me,
"No, no. He just wanted to make a deal," I kissed her forehead,
"Can I meet him?" Liam asked.
"No," Athena growled and hid him further behind me,
"Why not?" Liam asked, getting angrier,
"You're staying away from my family!" she spat out at him. Liam stood up and walked up to me,
"Let me see him," he snarled,
"No," I growled. I signaled my men to grab him. They approached silently as Liam lunged for Ben. I pushed him into my men and they grabbed him, "You will not touch my family, you sick fucking bastard!"
"Chris! Language!" Athena yelled at me,
"Sorry," I murmured.

We forced him home with Amber then I made Athena go home. I had to stay late and finish my work.
It was 10:29 pm and I went home. Quietly, I unlocked the door and stepped inside. It was eerily quiet, with only wind rustling behind the doors. I walked into the living room and saw Athena curled up on the couch with Ben in her arms. I smiled and wiped the drool off her bottom lip. Then, I pried Ben out of her arms and carried him to his crib. I carried Athena, bridal style, to our bed and changed her into soft pants and a cat shirt. I smiled when I realized Ben's giraffe was in her hand. I tried prying it out, but she was holding onto it with her life! I laid her down and took my jeans off, then my shirt. I covered us with a blanket and hugged her from behind. Again, I tried taking the giraffe out, but she was holding onto it too tight. It was adorable. I quickly took a picture of her and saved it to my home screen. She is gorgeous. She turned so she was facing me and I wrapped an arm around her. She was holding the stuffy tight and snuggled her head closer to my chest, out of instinct. I love her so much.
