Love that is all Consuming
Chapter 9
Nell's P.O.V
I watched as Callen looked to me and Eric then back to Kensi. No matter how much of a front Kensi and Cara put up I know that they were struggling to keep their emotions in check. Since Cara took the time to show me the beauty in the darkness I could say that my fear was considerably less. I know longer feared for my safety, now as for the safety of those behind this was another story.
"What do we do Cara?" Callen asked which shocked me. Callen loved to be in control and the fact that he was handing the reins to Cara spoke that he not only trusted her judgment but that he was concerned for the safety of his team.
Cara turned to look at her sister before rubbing a hand down her face in frustration. "That is the problem, I have no clue, I have told no one of you guys. But all wolves know of Kensi and our family. So the leak couldn't have come from just my side."
"So someone from our end feeding him information and a wolf is following us and not being seen and making mistakes that humans make." Kensi clarified.
"Wolves pride themselves on blending, for if we didn't we would be well known by now."
"Then finding these leaks is priority Mrs. Blye. You search on your end and we will search on ours."
"But won't that be kind of hard seeing as how we can't leave the Mission. Jack knows about all of us." Sam asked.
"What about the Red team?" I asked. All eyes turned to me. "We can feed false information as to why they are here and they can take our places in the field should we need one of you to go out to follow a lead."
"Okay I will call the Red team."
"Hetty they can't know about me or my sister, or Chris." She nodded.
"Of course, I will say that you two are new agents in training."
"Nell," Cara turned to me. "I am going to give you some names I want you and Eric to track their movements and check their phone records and bank accounts."
"Okay," I pressed a series of buttons to get to the notepad on my tablet and handed it to her. "Just type the names down and we will look into them."
As Cara typed everybody left leaving me Eric and Cara. She took a few minutes but finally handed it back. "Thanks for doing this you guys." She put a hand on our shoulders and squeezed slightly.
"Anything." I said as she left OPS. Eric took the top half of the list I took the bottom. All in all there was two dozen names to go through.
After an hour Kensi came up to tell us that Cara went out to see Alex then just as quickly disappeared.
"So Kensi has a sister, who is a werewolf." Eric stated.
"Yea, I must say I was freaked out at first, but Cara really is…" I couldn't think of something to say.
"Just like Kensi, loyal and fiercely protective, except it seems that Cara is not as guarded as Kensi is."
"Yea, she actually took the time to put my mind at ease." I thought back to Pegasus and smiled. "She showed me that there is good in all of this..." I waved my hand around the computers of OPS. "Darkness that we see every day."
"You know when I first heard werewolf I will admit I feared her," Eric began. "But when I saw her try and get that woman out of the van all the way up to after the explosion , I don't know I kind of admired how far she was willing to go for someone she didn't even know. Kind of makes me feel safe that she is out there."
I watched as Eric talked about Cara with a small smile on my face. "I never thought of it that way. I'm glad Kensi had Cara growing up, for I don't think she would be who she is without her."
And with that we got back to work in finding a leak among the wolves.
Kensi's P.O.V
As we left OPS me and Deeks went to go sit at the window on the second floor. For several minutes we were silent just enjoying the peace while it would last. When I looked over at Deeks I took notice that in his eyes something was eating at him.
"Deeks, what's wrong?" he turned to look at me giving me full view of the war being waged inside of him.
"I feel useless, and I'm sure Sam and Callen feel the same way. We are stuck in here while Jack is still out there. I just… I don't like it."
"I know," I said softly. "I don't like it either but right now it is far too dangerous for anyone who is close to me to be out there." I pointed out the window. "And Cara knows that." I took a deep breath.
"Why is she so protective of you, it seems more than just being your sister, it seems almost desperate." I couldn't look him in the eye, I knew he would ask this question. But deep down I knew that the last wall between him and my heart had been torn down and he was still here.
"When father was murdered, I gave up." He raised a hand and played with the ends of my hair, the sensation was so soothing I closed my eyes. "I locked myself in my room; he was the person I was closest to besides my sister. But a part of me resented Cara because she had already gone through the change and I was a year overdue. So when father was murdered I gave up, I stopped going out with Cara, I stopped my training, I stopped trying to put myself through the change because I didn't think I could handle the pain without him."
A tear slid down my cheek as I recalled one of the darkest times of my life. "Then when I had found Jack I saw a chance to forget that I was a wolf and live a human life. But after he got back and attacked me I gave up again. Something inside of me shut off when father died. And when I met Jack I thought that I could flip whatever it was, back on but then he left and I only saw a life alone for myself. But Cara, both times gave me a reason to live.
"When it was the first time she showed me the beauty in death in the darkness." I chuckled at the memory. "She all but barged into my room and sat next to me, for two hours we sat in silence then she raised her hands and my room bathed in blue light. In front of us was ancient Greece."
"Greece?" I could see the confusion and placed a hand on his cheek.
"Our beginning. Wolves were created in Ancient Greece by a secret society, whose name was long ago lost to time. She showed me how even with the death of that entire society and the downfall of Greece good came out of it, werewolves came out of it. She showed me how when Rome was at its peak the vampires started hunting us our kind went into hiding but still fought back. How they still found love, and carried on their lines, waiting for the day that their savior would come and end the suffering. She said…
It may have taken thousands of years and Fathers' death but the suffering ends, their savior has arrived.
"Cara, is the savior." He stated.
I nodded. "Though she says that she hates that term, when in actuality she is just a wolf making a successful stand against our enemy."
"What about the second time, after Jack."
"She told me, point blank that no matter how much I loved him, he wasn't the one. He was put in my path to make me the person I was to become when I met the one. Ten years ago I didn't understand what she meant. And she just looked at me with this look, like one day you will understand and you will see why what happened with Jack happened the way it did."
I looked down at my hands at the intense look in his eyes. "And do you, understand now?"
"I do." I say still looking down at me hands. "What happened to me molded me into the person who is sitting in front of you today." I looked up, the rising sun made it look as though he was glowing, and I could see nothing but love in those blue eyes that had captured my attention back in that MMA gym. "You." my voice quivered with raw emotion. "You are the reason things with Jack went the way they did. You are what made me understand my sisters' words ten years ago. You are it for me, if something were to happen to you I would be nothing. You are the last irrevocable loss, without you I am finished."
He didn't say anything, he didn't smirk, no instead the most honest, loving smile painted his face and he slowly leaned forward and ever so softly brushed his lips with mine. That simple contact sent bolts of lightning though me, made me forget everything and anything.
For years I had been jealous of Cara for finding love with Alex, for finding her mate, her other half. But right then, as Deeks deepened the kiss, running his tongue across my bottom lip, begging for access, which I happily gave him, did I understand. Understand the dazed look on my sisters face after she pulled away from Alex, how she described a simple touch of Alex's hand sent bolt of lightning shooting through every nerve ending of her body. She once said that a simple kiss was all consuming, that making love was euphoric, because he was her mate. In that moment I realized that me, my wolf, had found its' mate, it better half. I had found my true love. And damn if I didn't feel as though a weight was lifted from my heart.
