Letting out a huge sigh as I walked down the darkened street back to Tegan and Roman's house, I thought about everything that had happened this evening. First the accident, Luna meeting my family, Ethan opening his big mouth and Luna's eyes rolling back into her head and falling to the ground almost before I could catch her and her hugging me. After everything that happened tonight I was truly surprised that she would want to be close to me like that.

"Is she alright?" A quiet voice asked from behind me.

"I think so." I said turning around to face Tegan but, somewhere deep inside me it felt like it was anything but alright.

"Are you alright?" She asked eyeing me.

"I am." I said but, it sounded anything but convincing.

"It was a lot for her to take in but, I think now that she knows the truth it will work out. For the both of you." She said as she giving me a small smile.

"When did you become such an optimist?" I laughed.

"That is a really good question that I don't have an answer too." Tegan laughed as we made our way into the living room.

"I told her about the vampire that was following her and that attacked us tonight." I sighed looking out the open window.

"How did she take it?" Tegan asked.

"I could smell the fear on her." I told her.

"Poor girl, all of this must be confusing for her." Tegan frowned.

"I have to do something about it before he decides to trying something else." I balled my fist together.

"And we will help with that, she's your mate so that makes her apart of this family now." Tegan said trying to calm me.

"Correction, you won't be doing anything anytime soon. Not with my niece or nephew in there." I said pointing to her enlarged stomach.

"Exactly." Roman said coming around the corner.

"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't help. I would never do anything to put this baby in jeopardy but, that doesn't mean I'm going to be sitting on the sidelines. There is other things I can help with." Tegan hissed at us.

"Alright love, calm down." Roman said with his hands up before dropping on the other couch.

Roman and Tegan began talking while my attention was brought to the open window as I felt this the feeling like something was insanely wrong clawing in my chest that was only getting stronger as it got to the point, I felt like I was spiralling out of control. I gripped the couch hard enough my fingers went through the leather and I felt Roman and Tegan's eyes on me. I could hear Roman's voice asking what was wrong but, as my fangs had lengthened I knew I had to go to Luna, I stood up and bolted out the door not thinking twice at the possibility that I might have broken it in my urgency to get out of that house.

I stopped in front of Luna's house and let my senses run wild to see if there was danger close by while I didn't feel anything from outside, I left something inside. I kicked the door in and bolted up the stairs where I could hear Luna's cries coming from. I stood in front of the door that I guessed was her room and took in the sight of it. He had Luna's wrist locked with in his gasp but, he was looking at me, giving me a wide smile before dropping Luna's bruised wrist and kicking her mothers lifeless body out of the way and dashed out the window. I braced myself to follow him as I heard his feet hit the ground and take off into the woods but, Luna's cries and the smell of her tears stopped me in my tracks and I dropped to the floor beside her.

"Its him Ian! It was my dad!" She screamed as she held her mother and a fresh wave of tears dripped down her face.

Her words shocked me, as I stared at her and her mother and back to the window he had existed through. Anger pulsed through me as I thought of his face both times I had seen him. I felt stupid for not putting it together in time, there were definitely similarities between them. Tears were falling fast as she stroked her mothers hair and asked her over and over to wake up but, I knew that would never happen. She was dead.

"We have to get out of here." I told her.

"I can't just leave her." She yelled and more tears fell.

"The sun is coming up soon, I'll have Ethan or someone come back later and bury her in the woods but, we have to go now." I told her, feeling like the worst person in the world.

She nodded numbly and gently set her mothers head on the floor before taking my hand and standing up with me, I pulled her into my chest and grabbed the bag she always carried with her before we walked down the hall and down the stairs. Her body was shaking as we stopped on the porch and I closed the door before picking her up and ran with her in my arms to the house. Thankfully no one came to see greet us as I made a mad dash up the stairs and into my room, closing the door and sitting her on the bed.

"He's been alive this whole time." She said quietly reaching up to touch the chain around her neck.

"You don't have to talk about, not right now." I told her before I sat down beside her.

"I know but, I need to talk about this because there are thing about me that you don't know." She said looking straight in the eyes.

"What do you mean?" I asked feeling a little apprehensive.

"I'm a vampire hunter." She whispered.
