Max II's outburst left me stunned. That was one thing I really didn't expect. I wanted to cry.

Max II got off me and left me laying on my back, surrounded by the fluffy carpet. I just stayed there, sprawled across the floor, staring at the celing. I was expecting Angel to say something, but all I heard were her choked sobs.

We all missed Fang at home, and we tried not to show it. I never knew why. Dylan never even mentioned him. Like Fang didn't even exist to begin with!

Well, now Dylan's wish is coming true...

"Please Fang..." Angel whispered, sniffling and wiping her tears away. "We all miss you so much. You and Max have no idea how torn apart we are!" she continued. "N-Nudge is cutting, Gazzy doesn't plan mischief with Iggy, Iggy won't smile or cook, and the worst part is... Dylan is blackmailing us. He won't let you or Max know." My jaw dropped.

I never knew any of this at all!

"Dylan beat me..." Angel looked at me then looked down. I ran and sat at her side. I put my arms around her tiny body and rubbed her back. I looked up and glared at Max II. Fang looked like he didn't care. He didn't show any emotion. then I saw the almost invisible flex in his jaw.

"My decision stays the same." He said in a dull tone.

"Fang." I got up and held my face inches from his. "I know as much about the flock now as you do. Wthout you, I can't be leaderness at all... You keep me together. You are the one who gives me the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. All I ask from you is to be there for me." I kissed him and smiled, a single tear rolling down my cheek.

Max II pulled him away and glared at me.

"He doesn't want to go. This is his home now, and I am the one he belongs with. No one can take him away from me!" She snarled. I ran up to her and pinned her to the wall by her wrists.

"I brought to you the brink before, I can do it again just as easily, but this time I'll finish the job." I growled at her. Fang put his hand on my shoulder. I snapped my head to see him shaking his head disapprovingly. He took my hand and leaded me to the front door.

"What are you doing?" I murmured.

"Showing you out." He opened the door.
