A/N: I'm back! But before you scold me like a child and put me in the corner for the rest of my life, let me just say I'm so sorry it's taking this long! I never expected to get as busy as I did but it's the summer before my senior year so things we bound to get crazy. Thanks to everyone who is still sticking with me! Remember this story is RATED M and that becomes pretty prominent with some themes I deal with in this chapter. Read & Review please!

CHLOE POV

I wake up in my bed and take in my surroundings. I notice Jess comforting Autumn in the doorway and Derek's green eyes looking worridely into mine.

The news that Autumn had just delivered suddenly came rushing back to me. I shot up in bed and collapsed into Derek's awaiting arms. "Our babies." I sobbed.

"We need to find them." I told Derek, almost in hysterics. "Shh, Shh, Chloe it's going to be ok. We're going to find them and their going to be find because their strong, just like us. Then I'm going to kill the sick bastard who dared to touch our babies." Derek told me, a murderous glint in his eyes.

"H-how are we going to find them?" I asked Derek, my voice cracking a little. "Dad, Tori and Simon are all using tracking spells. James and Adrian are following the rogue wolf's scent from the park. Their going to find Clarissa and Steven and bring them back home where they belong." Derek told me reassuringly.

"I'm so sorry!" Autumn said running up to the bed and collaping by my feet sobbing. "Shh, it's alright. It's not your fault. We all should have been more careful. Their devoloping so quickly we all seem to forget their just a few weeks old." I told her, taking her into my arms and rubbing her back soothingly before releasing her with a hug.

"Now that I know you're going to be alright I'm going to help Adrian and James with their tracking." Derek told me. "No, I'm going with you." I told him, getting up and grabbing my sneakers.

Derek looked like he was bout to protest but stopped once he saw the determination in my eyes. "Fine but you don't leave my side." Derek told me firmly.

"Alright Derek, you and CHloe take your cells phones and go tracking. call either me or Autumn if you find anything. We're staying here and acting as home base." Jess told us.

After throwing on shorts and a tank top as quickly as I possibly could Derek and I were out the door. After 4 hours of tracing the rogue wolf's scent in circles the scent suddenly stopped at the from of the graveyard.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here." The parents of these 2 beautiful children." Sneered the rogue wolf stepping into view at the entrance of the graveyard holding a sleeping Clarissa and Steven.

"What did you do to them? Derek growled. "Don't worry your precious children aren't harmed. I just gave them something to make them sleepy. No harm will come to them, they are much more valuable to me alive." the wolf said.

"Give us back out babies." I demanded, Derek and I stepping closer to the rogue wolf. "If I were you I'd stop there. Any closer and I might just have to end on of their lives." he said looking down at the babies he was holding.

"Yes it wouldn't be as much profit but it's better than nothing at all." he warned. Derek let out an inhuman snarl but we both stayed rooted to our spots.

"Good, good. You know now that I'm here I'm in a generous mood. Yes I want the money I could make selling the little freak babies but I'll give you your babies back if you give me your lovely wife." The wolf told Derek.

"Never." Derek snarled and was about to lunge forward but I used the bond to stop him. "Agree to the trade." I told him through the bond.

"Never. I'll die before I let him take my family from me." Derek responded back. I told him my plan, again using the bond.

Derek battled with his werewolve instincts to protect and never leave his mate and pups before finally relenting. "Good now as soon as you make the trade take Steven and Clarissa back to the house and stay there." I demanded through the bond before ending the conversation at looking at the rogue wolf.

"Fine, you want me, you can have me. But first give me my babies back." I told him.

Clicking his tongue he said warningly, "You come over and come give your children back to their daddy over there. Then come stand back next to me. If you try to run I have a gun in my back pocket that I'm not afraid to use." I quickly walked over to where the rogue wolf was standing while Derek had to hold himself back from changing and then attacking the rogue wolf.

I took my babies in my arms and kissed both their foreheards. Whispering, "Mommy loves you." to both of them before walking back over to Derek.

Once Derek had Clarissa and Steven safely back in his arms I whispered to him "run." Derek took off running full speed back home while I walked back over to the rogue wolf, who now was holding a gun in his hands.

"Very good my pretty. Now you are mind." he said trailing a finger down my cheek. "Get off of me." I bit out, smacking his hand away.

He backhanded my face with the gun so hard it had me falling to ground clutching my cheek in pain.

"You belong to me now. You cannot deny any of my advances. Om face, I feel like claiming you right now." he said suddenly holding my arms above my head, pining me to the ground, his erection pressing into my leg.

"It's now or never." I thought to myself. Squeezing my eyes shut I did something I haven't done since I was sixteen. I concentrated and a few seconds later the ground beside me split open with a sickening crack.

The bodies of the surrounding graves started dragging themselves out. "Kill him!" I shouted and suddenly the rogue wolf was being pulled off my body and being torn apart limb by limb.

I squeezed my eyes shut against the horrifying scene and fell to the ground sobbing. Suddenly I felt a strong pair of arms encircle me and a familar sense of peacefullness washed over me.

Derek was back.

I looked up and not only was Derek there, but also Dad, Tori, Simon, Adrian and James. "Our babies?" I choked out, searching Derek's face for any sign of bad news.

"Are home safe and are going to stay that way." Derek told me. Summoning up the rest of my almost nonexistant energy I released all the spitits of the dead bodies, shoving the one of the rogue wolf forcefully to a what was hopefully a very bad place.

I stayed awake long enough to see Tori throw a blue flame from her fingertips which reduced the rogue wolf's body to ashes. Then I collaped into Derek.

The weeks after the kidnapping passed in a blur. Jess had healed my cracked cheekbone and I told her the whole story of what the rogue wolf had tried to do to me.

Derek was holding me in his lap while I related my story to Jess and growled menacially before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer to him.

Jess ordered everyone who was staying with us out of the house to stay with her and Kit so we could recover as a family without any distractions.

Jess was the only one coming by adn that ws only to bring meals she had prepared for us and check to see my progress. I was ordered of 2 week minimum bedrest.

After nearly getting raped for the second time in my life (A/N: Read I Promise to understand this.) everyone expected me to wait a while before I was comfortable having sex with Derek again.

Proof that our bond and our love is unbreakable as soon as I had gotten a good nights sleep I all but demanded Derek claim me as his again.

Clarissa and Steven were doing better than expected around people but still did not want to their mine or Derek's arms for very long. And if they were in someone elses arms either Derek or myself had to be in their sight. I wasn't to worried. My babies are strong and I know given just a little more time they'll be back to their old selves again.

A/N 2: REVIEW PLEASE! Did you like it? Not like it? Thoughts? Ideas for future chapters? This was 10 pages in my notebook so I don't know how it turned out to be so short sorry! This chapter sounds like this story is ending but I have a few more ideas for this story so no worries. Thanks for reading!
