Erika couldn't believe Amelia's answer to Viktor's question. Her only son and she denied him. Even Viktor was taken back. Amelia had gone cold. She dried her tears and didn't cry anymore. She had completely erased Thane from her mind.

Thane and Selene arrived in the lab. He was carrying her things. They were holding hands when Raze and Lucian walked in. Lucian's mouth dropped.

"Thane you will take her back right now." said Lucian.

"No."

"You dare disobey me! You endanger our species bringing her here."

"Take chances, Lucian. You should know."

Thane and Selene pushed by Lucian and down to Thane's quarters. Lucian slammed his fists against the wall.

It was late at night when Thane and Selene finally got settled. They laid down together. Thane's head on Selene's stomach his arms rapped around her. She ran her hands through his hair.

"What's bothering you?"

"I want to know who my father is."

"Why does it matter so much to you?"

"I don't know."

Thane was standing in front of the elders, but they weren't looking at him they were looking at someone else. He saw Amelia, Viktor, and Marcus. This must be serious if they're all awake. He turned to see who was on trial, but couldn't make out the face. There were screams from the cages around him. Lycans clawed and pulled at the bars. A whip cracked. Thane turned and saw Soren.

"Stop!" shouted Thane.

But they couldn't here him. Amelia was crying as the man was being whipped. Everytime an elder would mention his father's name he couldn't hear it. It would be muffled.

"Mom stop this! Do something!" Thane shouted.

Amelia continued to cry as Thane's father was whipped. Thane saw Sonja she was comforting his mother.

Thane awoke in the middle of the night sweating and short of breath. I have to know. He kissed Selene, grabbed his sweatshirt and left. When he arrived at the mansion all was quiet he knew that he was expected. The gates swung open and he walked in. Eight fully armed guards appeared. Thane was handcuffed and brought inside. Other vampires eyed him as he was escorted to see Amelia and Viktor. When they entered the chamber there was Amelia, Viktor, Soren, Kraven, Kahn, Erika and the rest of the death dealers. Viktor motioned for everyone to leave.

"No! They have a right to know." said Thane.

Amelia looked at him. Her eyes cold.

"I'm asking this as a son. This is something I have a right to know. Mother what is the name of my father?"

"Why do you wish to know?"

"So when I die. I'll have closure knowing that my father died bravely to save his son."

Amelia hesitated before answering her son.

"Please . . ."

Amelia's emotions came flooding back. This was her son. Her husband died to save him and she knew he was doing what was right.

Selene awoke to find an empty space next to her. She ran down to the lab and found Lucian.

"Where is he?"

Lucian didn't have to say a word. Tears rolled down Selene's eyes.

Everyone now had there eyes on Amelia. She stood and walked to her son. She wrapped her arms around him. Thane hugged her. Amelia didn't want to let go fearing she would never see him again. She kissed his cheek. She stepped back and looked a her son.

"Your father was the bravest man I knew and I wish that you could have met him. His name is Lucian. Lucian is your father."

Thane broke down in his mother's arms.

Viktor sunk lower into his chair. There was silence from the crowd of people. Thane looked up at his mother.

"What about Sonja?"

"I went into hibernation 6 years after you were born. He didn't die. He was sent away to Viktor's house. There he found comfort in Sonja. I was upset, but we couldn't be together. When I found out about Sonja I feared for both of them. Unfortunately Viktor didn't show the same compassion he did for me. I was so happy when he escaped, but when Kraven brought back the skin from his arm. I feared the worst."

"I have to go." said Thane.

"Why?"

"I'll fight with my father. I'm sorry."

Thane and Amelia hugged one last time. She said goodbye to her son. Thane ran and he kept running until he found the sewers and found the lycan base. Tears were streaming down his eyes. Selene turned around and was embraced by Thane.

"Thane it's ok."

Lucian looked at the two of them. Thane looked at him. It was father this entire time. He had been right with him and he didn't know. Yet it answered everything. His heart grieved for his unborn sibling. Lucian just smiled.

"Welcome home."
