A/N: ¡Lo siento mucho! To my non-Spanish speaking readers: that means I'm very sorry. I actually have a life outside of fanfiction (shocking! I know!) and it has been crazy busy lately! I leave for vacation this week so I will try to update at least one more time before I leave but I'm not sure how possible that will be. Sorry this chapter is a little rushed but I couldn't think of how to fill the time between each event.

AUTUMN POV

After a few minutes of just getting the crying out of my system I pulled out of Chloe's embrace and wiped my eyes. "Thank you for being here for me. I'm sorry I ruined your bed rest rule." I told her.

"Anytime sweetie. And I'm fine. I feel better and I'm off bed rest today anyway." She reassured me. "What do I do?" I asked her. "About what darling?" she asked.

"Adrian. What to do about him in general and our sleeping arrangements." I told her. She thought it over for a minute. "Give yourself a few days and think about how you really feel about Adrian then talk it over with him.

In the meantime you can either stay in the office down here on the futon or I can ask Jess if you can stay in one of their guest rooms." She said.

"Can I stay here in the office? As silly as it sounds I want to be close to you in case I need some advice." I said shyly. "Why thank you sweetie. I'm glad to know I can help. I'll find some pillows and blankets for you later. How about to keep your mind off of things I help you with your powers the next few days?" she asked me.

"That'd be great. Thank you." I said. Suddenly she looked towards the ceiling and stood up. "Steven's awake and I need to go feed him. Do you want me to try to find the pillows and blankets after or are you going to just stay on the couch until everyone gets up?" she asked me.

"I'll stay on the couch for now. Thanks." I told her and she rushed up the stairs.

DEREK POV

Steven woke up and yawned so I picked him up out of the co-sleeper and held him while he took time to fully wake up. After a few minutes of being content with me just holding him he looked towards Chloe's side of the bed and saw it was empty.

"Mommy?" he asked me. "Mommy's downstairs right now. She'll be back in a little bit." I told him soothingly. He apparently didn't like that his mommy was not here now so he started crying and calling for her.

Chloe heard this through the bond and finished up her conversation with Autumn and rushed upstairs. She entered the bedroom and climbed into bed and took Steven.

"Sorry. I tried to hold him off a few more minutes but he wasn't having it." I told her. I wasn't worried about Steven crying for Chloe since Jess said it was normal for newborns to want to be close to their parents at all times and especially their mommy when they woke up.

"It's fine. I was done talking to Autumn anyway." She told me. Steven started fussing so Chloe pulled down her special nursing sleeping gown and held him up to her breast and he happily began to suckle.

Just then Clarissa woke up and wanted to be fed also. "Can you handle both of them at once?" I asked Chloe. "I think so. Here just help me sit up more please." She said.

I took the nursing pillow Jess had gotten Chloe and placed it behind her back so she could lean against the headboard. She put Clarissa against her other breast then leaned back and waited for them to finish eating.

"How's Autumn?" I asked her. "Better now. Thank you for getting me." She told me. Then she told me about how Autumn told her all about the rape.

I growled that Liam would think of going for a little girl like Autumn and then was never more glad I killed him.

"So I told her to think about how she really felt about him for a few days then decide what to do about him. I wonder if they created a bond though. I'm going to help her with her powers for the next few days so maybe you can help Adrian too." She finished.

I agreed I would help him then Steven patted Chloe's face, not liking her attention wasn't on him and his sister. Chloe turned her attention to him and smiled down at him and Clarissa.

"Good morning my babies. Are you enjoying your breakfast?" she teased them earning a smile from Steven and surprisingly Clarissa. "Yeah sweetie you're finally smiling! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!" Chloe cooed at Clarissa.

Steven was finished then so I took him from Chloe and held him. "How's my little wolf today?" I asked him. Steven just smiled and said "Dadee!" before snuggling into my chest.

"Will you burp him please Der? It's not good for all that milk to sit in his stomach." Chloe asked me. I got out a baby towel from one of the dressers side drawers and laid it on my shoulder before burping Steven.

"So little wolf huh?" Chloe asked me with a smile. "Well that's what he is. And it's better than pookie." I teased her. "Your probably right. Mind if I use the nickname too?" she asked.

"Of course not Chlo." I tell her. "So we have our little wolf and our precious baby girl." Chloe said smiling at the twins before focusing her attention back to just Clarissa.

"Can you say Mommy like your brother sweetie?" Chloe asked Clarissa. Clarissa stopped suckling for a minute and looked at Chloe with a confused look on her face.

"Steven who am I?" Chloe asked him. "Mamee!" he said happily. "Now can you say Clarissa say Mommy?" she asked. "Issa ay Mamee!" Steven instructed his sister.

Clarissa finished feeding then said "Mamee!" "Very good sweetie!" Chloe told her placing a kiss on her forehead. "Who am I?" I asked Steven. "Dadee!" he said.

"Now tell Liss to say Daddy." I instructed him. "Issa ay Dadee." Steven instructed her. "Dadee!" she said after a few minutes of trying. "Very good!" I told her leaning over to kiss her cheek, which was now resting against Chloe's shoulder.

AUTUMN POV

A few minutes after Chloe left to go feed Steven I decide to get some more sleep. I lay back down on the couch and fall back to sleep. About half an hour I find my mind was whirling too much to sleep so I decided to watch TV.

A few minutes later I suddenly felt love and happiness then confusion right afterwards. These weren't my emotions so after a few minutes of thinking it over I decide it must be just a new power the group (whose name I can't mention since it brings back bad memories) tried to fit into me that allowed me to feel other people's emotions.

For some reason I have a feeling Adrian's going to come back downstairs any minute now so I quickly go into the kitchen and start making breakfast to distract myself.

Adrian comes down a few minutes later and comes into the kitchen. "Hey babe. I was wondering where you were." He said and gave me a smile.

That smile still started butterflies in my stomach but I tried to ignore it by just not saying anything to him and finishing breakfast. "Last night was amazing. Thank you for that." Adrian told me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

I detangled myself and pushed him away. He looked at me questionably and asked, "What's wrong babe?" "Don't call me that. I'm not your babe. I'm just a temporary fling until you can have one of the other girls around here.

Last night was a mistake. I know I'm not your mate. You were just saying that so you get some relief for your sexual frustration. I can't believe you did that even when you know how I feel about my rape." I told him angrily.

I was madder at myself for letting it happen but he didn't know that. "Autumn you know that's not true! I really do love you!" he said. At that moment I seemed to dip into his mind and feeling and could tell he really did love me.

That made me scared, no one loved me but myself. Luckily Chloe and Derek came down with the twins so I didn't have to respond.

The next few days passed quickly with Chloe teaching me about my powers and how to send away ghosts. She contacted her mom who allowed me to practice with summoning and pushing her away.

Today Clarissa didn't seem to be feeling well so Chloe cancelled our lesson. I didn't want to be around Adrian so I snuck off to the park. I was sitting by myself next to a little stream when suddenly I heard whispering.

"Oh yes. She'll do. Master will be very pleased." I heard. I looked around but there was no one in sight for miles. Guessing it was a ghost I used what Chloe had taught me to pull them through.

Suddenly two shadow creatures appeared in front of me. "Come little girl it is time to take you to our master." The one said. "Who are you and what do you want?" I asked shakily.

"We are demons. We are messengers of Satan who have come to drag you to hell." The one said. "No!" I screamed and pushed them back with all my might. Luckily they disappeared and I started running back to Chloe's house.

I ran inside and saw Derek but didn't see Chloe. I had tears running down my face and was screaming for Chloe. Derek quickly grabbed me and I collapsed onto him, holding his shirt.

"Hey calm down. It's alright. What's wrong?" Derek asked, wrapping me in a brotherly-type hug. "Shadows. Messengers. Drag Me. To Hell. For Satan." I told him, my breath coming out in gasps since I ran all the way home from the park.

"Uh-Oh I think you just saw Demons. Let me go get Chloe." Derek said. Just then Adrian came bursting through the back door looking as if he had just come in from a run.

"What's wrong? I heard you screaming." He said. Suddenly I needed his comforting presence so I threw myself at him and he held me tightly. He led us back to the couch and sat me on his lap while I regained my breath and stopped crying.

"Wanna tell me what happened?" He asked me, stroking my hair soothingly. "I was at the park and I summoned these demons, apparently, who wanted to drag me to hell." I told him.

He held me tighter. "Did you send them away?" he asked and I nodded. "Good. If they ever bother you again let me know and we'll talk to Chloe about banishing them. I won't let anything hurt you." He said.

He quickly removed me from his lap and got up. I was disappointed at the loss of contact but he came back a moment later with a glass of water. He sat me back down on his lap and waited while I finished.

I leaned back into him and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head. "Thank you." I told him. "No problem. Its just water." He said.

"No I mean for everything. For comforting me and protecting me." I told him turning around so I could look him in the eyes. "I will always protect you. I care about you to much to lose you." He said.

I looked deeply in his eyes and prepared myself to talk about what happened these past few days. "I'm sorry I've been avoiding you. I just feel like it was wrong to do what we did.

I feel like I let you rape me and I can't believe I was that weak." I told him. "You are not weak. You are one of the strongest people I know. I'm sorry I made you feel like that. I truly do love you though." He told me and suddenly I could feel it.

"I….. care for you too." I told him and took a deep breath waiting for his response. His whole face lit up and he leaned in to kiss me deeply. After we broke apart for air he rested his forehead against mine.

"I love you." He told me. "It's gonna take a while for me to say I feel the same." I told him sadly. "It's fine. I can feel that you do but I know you've been hurt so much in the past it's hard to say. I can wait. It will be the happiest day of my life." He told me.

I smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "I think I developed a new power." I told him after a few minutes of just sitting on his lap. "Oh yeah? What is it?" he asked me.

"Í think I can sense other people's emotions and read their minds. It's only worked with you so far so I think it's still developing. But I'm closer to you so I think that's why it works only with you." I told him.

He laughed and I asked him what was so funny. "Did Chloe ever tell you she had a bond with Derek?" he asked and I nodded. "Did she tell you that when a werewolf and their mate have sex it creates this bond between the two of them that let's them develop ever tell you about it?" he asked again and I shook my head.

"Well the mates creat a bond that they can communicate and feel the others emotions with. Derek explained all this to me and apparently it only happens if the mated pair's love is strong enough.

The Pack Alpha and her mate are the first pair in history followed by Derek and Chloe. Now apparently you and me are the third pair." He told me.

After taking a few minutes to process this new information I decided to just accept it and fight my instinct to flee from anyone that might hurt me in some way. "That's great!" I told Adrian enthusiastically and lean in for another kiss.

Sorry to end it there but I couldn't really think of a good ending. REVIEW please and tell me what you think! :D
