Roman looked into the box that Charlie was protecting. His newborn twins were laid inside, both fast asleep and cuddling. Covered in their baby blanket.
"My boys", he whispered.
His finger tips lightly touched his sons cheeks. They moved a bit, but didn't wake.
"I told you they would be unharmed", Roman growled and protectively pushed the box behind a huge rock.
Boogeyman smirked.
"The pack children should be home safely, Sting is making sure of that", he said.
"Where's Nova?", Roman asked.
Boogeyman waved his hand and Nova appeared. Unmoving. Roman's heart almost stopped. He fell to his knees.
"You said she would be fine. This isn't fine", Roman said angry.
Boogeyman didn't say anything. Roman carefully lifted Nova's head.
"Baby", he whispered.
His fingers running through her soft hair.
"Nova", he cried softly.
She wasn't breathing, he couldn't hear her heart beat.
"Baby, come back to me", he whispered.
Pulling her closer to him. He kissed her forehead.
"Please, you said she would come back", Roman said.
"Just give it time", Boogeyman said.
Nova's eyes opened wide and she gasped for air. Roman wiped his eyes and held his wife to him. Her body ached. Roman's hands were shaking.
"Roman", she said softly.
"I'm here baby", he said.
"I forgive you", she whispered.
He kissed her.
"Its not that easy, I won't ever forgive myself for what I did. That image of you, is seared into my brain forever", he said.
"Where are my babies?", she asked, trying to sit up.
"Safe. Mia is on her way home and the twins", he waited till she could sit up on her own before going over to the box and lifting it.
He smiled. He set the box on her lap and she smiled.
"Mine", she whispered, touching their cheeks.
Leo yawned. Roman brushed his nose against her cheek. Taking in her scent.
"All mine", he whispered.
Boogeyman cleared his throat and they both looked at him.
"I can give you a lift home, promise no detours", he said.
Nova smiled and nodded. She wanted to hold her sons, but she still felt too weak and didn't want to drop them. Roman held the box under his arm, while holding Nova up with the other.
Braun and Abigail made it a few feet from Wyatt territory before being stopped by Dean.
"What do you want? Haven't the both of you caused enough pain?", Dean asked angry.
"We need to speak to Roman, now", Braun said.
"Give me one good reason why I should let you near either of my Alphas", Dean said.
Charlie looked around his dad. Abigail smiled.
"You got them back", she said.
"No thanks to you", Dean said, before protectively pushing his oldest son behind him.
Her smile fell.
"Beta Dean, please. It's urgent", Braun said.
Dean nodded. He walked them to the meeting room. Abigail and Braun sat.
"He'll be here soon", Dean said.
They nodded. Roman walked in with Seth behind him.
"You have five minutes", Roman said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Braun explained how Bray was awake again and how he planned to attack Roman's pack. Roman sat behind his desk listening carefully.
"I can handle Bray and my pack can handle his", he said, sure of himself and his pack.
"I have a better idea", everyone turned to see Nova.
Roman stood as she walked over to him, he helped her sit in his chair.
"Speak your mind my female", Roman said.
"If you two wouldn't mind waiting outside a second, I need to talk to these three", Nova said.
Abigail and Braun nodded before making their way out. She knew all three men were angry at Abigail and Braun.
"If you get rid of Bray, that means you'll be Alpha to his pack, right?", Nova asked.
Roman nodded.
"You have enough to take care of now, adding another few hundred to this pack, on land that's farther away is ridiculous. We would hardly get to see you", Nova said.
"She makes a point Alpha", Dean said.
Roman nodded.
"What if Braun challenges Bray for Alpha of the Wyatt pack?", Nova asked.
Roman chuckled.
"And have him want to attack us? Did you forget what he did in that other time zone?", Roman asked.
"Of course I didn't forget, but I understand why he did it. Just like I know you would have done the same for me. Abigail learned her lesson, if she didn't, we wouldn't be here now", Nova said.
Roman sighed.
Bray and his pack attacked when it was dark and everyone would be asleep, but something was off. It was too quiet.
"Just like a Wyatt", Bray turned to see red glowing eyes.
He smirked.
"You won't find my pack here Bray. I've moved them", Roman said, coming out of the dark.
"And yet, you're still here Alpha", Bray said.
Roman nodded. Braun stepped beside Roman. He nodded and looked towards Bray.
"You've got a challenger", Roman said, tilting his head towards Braun.
Bray laughed.
"You can't be serious? You?", Bray said to Braun.
"Me", Braun said.
"He has a right to challenge you, or are you afraid", Roman smirked.
"I've been wanting to get rid of him for a while. You're just doing me a favor Reigns", Bray said.
Roman nodded.
Bray laughed as his pack watched from behind him. Dean and Seth joined Roman. Their pack was on alert just in case Bray didn't honor the challenge and decided to attack Roman's pack.
Roman looked at Braun.
"You were trained along side us. Bray is careless and wild, he'll take cheap shots at you, don't let him. Wait for an opening, trust me, he'll give you one", Roman said.
Braun nodded.
"He won't make the first move, he'll wait for you to do it and go for your throat. Attack first and then shift, he won't be able to resist and shift too", Dean said.
Braun nodded.
"We are right here", Roman said.
"Well", Bray said, raising his hands, a smirk on his face.
Braun took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Nova was nervous, Roman had sent them all to the Fairies.
"You would feel if anything happened to him", Bayley said, she held Aries in her arms.
"I know, that's what I'm nervous about. I don't want to feel anything", Nova said.
Brie rocked Leo while kissing his cheek. Mia was outside playing with the boys and the rest of the pack children. Sami and Corey keeping an eye on them.
"Enjoy your babies, don't you worry about my son", Patricia said.
"They're back", Bayley said standing.
Nova quickly made her way out. Abigail was sitting under a tree, Fairies braiding her hair. Braun's wolf went over to her. He sniffed her before licking her cheek.
"Daddy", Mia ran over to the midnight black wolf and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.
Her little legs dangled as he lifted his head. Mia giggled and he walked over to her. Nova laughed. He set Mia down and licked her cheek, her daughter laughed. Nova handed him some shorts before sitting Mia on her lap. Roman shifted and put his shorts on.
"You look to be in one piece", Nova said, her eyes running over his body.
"We'll discuss this later", he said.
She nodded. He helped her stand, before taking Mia in one arm. They walked over to Braun and Abigail.
"We've discussed what happens now that you're Alpha of Wyatt pack", Roman said.
Braun nodded.
"If there are any problems, we discuss them like civilized people. We grew up together and I hope you honor that", Roman said.
Braun nodded.
"Of course", Braun said.
Roman held his hand out and Braun shook it. Braun looked at Nova. They hadn't had a chance to talk about what happened.
"I know what I did and I hope that some time down the line, you can forgive me for what I did.", Braun said.
Nova smiled and nodded.
"All is forgiven", Nova said.
Braun looked at Abigail.
"We should get to our new pack and make changes, fix it", Braun said.
Abigail nodded.
"If you need any help, I'd be more than willing too, I could even send Dean or Seth", Roman said.
"Thank you, I might have to take you up on that offer. I doubt her father's pack will accept me", Braun said.
"Like I said, I'm more than willing to help", Roman said.
Braun nodded. His family left with them to join his pack and a few other members.
"What happened to Bray?", Nova asked, as their pack walked back to their territory.
Mia was on Roman's shoulders, he held a baby in his arms and Nova held another.
"Not in front of the kids", Roman said.
Nova nodded.
"Did you beat him daddy?", Mia asked.
"No baby, but he won't be bothering us anymore", Roman said.
Getting home, Roman handed Nova their son and he helped Mia down off his shoulders. She laughed. Brie took one twin from Nova.
"I'm going to go lay them down", Brie said.
"Thank you mom", Nova said.
Bryan took the other twin. Nova looked at Roman.
"Mia, go with grandma and grandpa", Nova said.
Mia nodded and ran upstairs. Nova took Roman's hand and pulled him out of the house. They sat down on the porch.
"When you said he won't be bothering us anymore, you meant Braun killed him, right", Nova said.
Roman nodded.
"It had to happen in order for Wyatt pack to see Braun as a leader", Roman said.
"Did you have to do that?", Nova asked, brushing Roman's hair behind his ear.
"No, I come from Alpha blood. The pack knows that so they don't need proof. Braun on the other hand, doesn't.", Roman explained.
"What if he tries to attack us?", Nova asked.
"He won't, even if he trained his men, it won't do any good. Our fighters are stronger", Roman said.
Nova nodded. Roman ran his fingers through her hair and smiled.
"You have nothing to worry about. We've laid out sort of a treaty, we also agreed to sit down and discuss things before jumping to attack", Roman said.
"I just don't want anything to happen to the kids", Nova said.
He kissed her. Someone cleared their throat and Roman growled at the interruption.
"What?", Roman asked, not taking his eyes off of Nova.
She bit down on his bottom lip.
"I need a word with Nova", they both turned to see Dean.
Nova hadn't spoken to him, every time she tried she remembered what she did to him. Roman brushed his nose against Nova's cheek.
"Talk to him. I'll be inside waiting for you", he whispered, before leaving a kiss.
Roman sent a nod to Dean before walking into the house. Dean sighed and sat beside Nova.
"What happened wasn't your fault, you know that right", Dean said.
"Doesn't help that certain memory from popping into my head when I see you", she said softly.
"That wasn't you kiddo. I would know, I helped raise you remember", Dean said nudging her.
She smiled.
"I'm not mad at you and I don't hate you. I also don't fear you.", Dean said.
They hugged.
"Well, I'll let you get back to the horny Alpha. He's telling me to leave", Dean said.
Nova laughed. He left and Nova walked upstairs after saying goodnight to her parents. Roman was sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked up and smiled. She leaned against the wall.
"Are you going to stand there or are you going to come over here and make me one happy man tonight?", he asked.
"I just gave you two more babies, and you aren't happy", she said.
"Hey, you know I love my babies.", he said.
She walked over to him and he pulled her between his legs.
"It just feels like forever since I've felt connected to you. I love you", he whispered.
She smiled.
"I love you", she whispered.
He lifted her and laid her back.
