"Amelia . . ."
She collapsed onto the floor shaking and crying.
"I had to he's my son!" she clung to Viktor's robe.
When they were escorting Thane back to his room he caught the scent of something he had been hoping for a long time. Selene could see the look in his eyes. She removed her berettas and held them to Thane's head, but gave him a reassuring look.
"Go!"
The guards looked at her for a minute than took her word for it and left. When they were out of site she lowered her guns.
"Thane I know that the lycans are coming for you. I don't want you hurt you have to leave right now."
She continued to stare at him. Her eyes were so beautiful. Thane didn't want her to meet the same fate that Sonja had for loving a lycan. He didn't want to see her bled dry.
"I won't leave you."
Thane leaned forward and kissed her. It was soft and gentle, but long. Selene wanted to savor every last part for she knew in the battle that was about to happen she could lose Thane forever.
"Thane run!"
Bullets ripped through the house. Bouncing off bits of metal in the house. Thane pushed Selene to the ground.
"Thane, I'm begging you run! Run and I will find you! Run and we'll be together some other time."
Thane kissed her one last time before jumping through a broken window and dashing off the grounds. He met up with Pierce and Taylor. They smiled when they saw each other.
"I was wondering when you guys would show up."
They threw him back his holster filled with his guns, fully loaded.
"Where's Lucian?"
"Waiting for you."
Viktor stood waiting for Selene in the burial chamber along with Amelia. She entered her head hung low.
"Where is he?"
"He escaped. The lycans came for him."
"You didn't stop them?"
"They fired right through the walls. I fired back, but they were gone. He jumped from the window and took off. I didn't see him after that."
"So he's chosen to be allies with the lycans. Amelia what will you do about your son?"
Amelia shook her head. Selene could see that she was still shaking. Thane arrived back at the lab. Singe, Kahn, and Lucian were waiting for him. Lucian had a large smile on his face as Thane entered.
"Glad to have you back . . ."
