The Return

Theo/Gage's POV

Izzy had fallen asleep over an hour ago and yet here we are, still wide awake, looking at her. Some might say it's creepy but Gage and I are merely curious about the girl.

She's skin and bones from what we can feel and she has many bruise across her face, we could only imagine how bad her body looks. She doesn't want to trust us, we can see it. We've been in that position.

When we arrived at the palace, I didn't even trust them yet, I knew they were my family but it didn't mean I could trust them. They could have been just like them.

Gage still doesn't truly trust them but he's slowly opening up to the idea. We know that our family wouldn't mean us any physical harm, well hopefully it stays that way after we tell them.

We hear her groan and turn over. "She's a very restless sleeper." Gage mumbles in our head. I nod mine internally as we watch the girl. We can't deny that she isn't beautiful, we'd then be lying.

"Theo could you please come down to the Alpha's office? It's time for a little talk."

Mother says through the mind link. We sigh and slowly climb off the bed, careful not to wake Izzy up. We open the door and close it softly behind us.

We quickly walk over to the office, since it's on the same floor.

We stand behind two wooden doors and enter. We see both the Alphas standing behind the desk. "They bring the wrong name to Alphas." I scoff in our head as we glare at them.

Beau looks away quickly, probably embarrassed that I beat him up.

"What is it that you wanted to speak of Skylar?" Warrick asks taking a seat. Mother only glares while father keeps a hold of her, knowing that she'll probably try to attack.

We've learnt that Mother could keep her emotions at bay, but if you hurt her family or someone she cares deeply about, well my best advice for you is too run.

"I want to know about Issabella." She says calmly towards him. He immediately stiffens and his eyes widen in shock.

"Well....uh...y-you see-"

"Honey?" A small voice asks from behind the door. We walk over there and open the door for the Luna. She doesn't have her tray of medicine again but you can see she might need them soon.

"Mom, we told you too stay in bed. You're not healthy enough-"

"Nevermind that Beau. I want to know where is Issabella. You should know mister, she is your best friend-"

"I'm sorry ma'am but we came in here to confront your husband and son about the same girl. My son had found her in the dungeon a couple hours ago, and your son was beating her. Now we want to know what is this meaning of this!" Mother says, her voice getting louder towards the end.

The Alphas flinch but all the Luna does is look at them in disbelief.

"Is it true?" She asks them softly, looking them both in the eye. "Baby-"

"Is it true Warrick!" She finally yells, tears forming in her eyes. He sighs and looks down, nodding sadly. She shakes her head in dissapointment for the both of them. "Why would you do that to her? What has she ever done to you?"

"She killed them! She killed my best friend!"

"No she didn't and you know it! That girl was with Beau the whole time when they dissapeared. Tell me how in the world would she have killed them if she was with Beau? Tell me Warrick!" He doesn't reply, only looks down in shame. He knows she's right.

"I have no choice but to take away your Alpha position Warrick." Mother says calmly. His head snaps up in shock and you can see he wants to object but he doesn't do anything. "Okay..." He whispers softly, defeated.

"Don't."

A voice says from behind us. We all turn to face Izzy. She stands there shifting from foot to foot uncomfortably. The Luna rushes over to her and engulfs her in a hug, apologizing profusely. Izzy hugs her as well then pulls back to face Mother.

"Don't take away his title-"

"Issabella they-"

"I know they deserve it for what they've done but give them another chance. This man that I see is not the man who was like a second father too me. Give him a chance to be that man again, please Skylar." We all looked at her in shock.

"Is she stupid Gage?" I ask him shocked that she'd ever want to do this man something so kind as to save his title. "She's moving on Theo. Let her." He states calmly as we watch whats happening in front of us.

"Fine, one more chance but Warrick I swear if I hear you have done something so cruel to another being again, I will end you. Not take away your title, but end you. Am I clear?" Mother says sneering in his face calmly.

"Yes ma'am I understand." He says quickly. She nods then walks out the room, father falling closely behind her.

"He deserves to be punished! Beau as well! They can't just get off so easily like that Gage!" I yell in our head, seething with rage that he's not being punished. "Theo its not our decision, its Izzy's and she's made hers. Lets go."

"Thank you Issabella. I know you won't forgive me but-" She cuts him off. "I don't want to hear anything Warrick. I'm leaving this pack, leaving all of you. Goodbye."

As we walk our with her we look back at the family. Warrick is trying to speak to his wife but she's trying to walk out the room as well. Beau? Beau looks like he's in pain. Weird.

We walk down to the kitchen and we see Mother making some food while Father speaks to Izzy.

"Issabella, Skylar and I were wondering that since you're leaving the pack that you'd perhaps want to join us?" He asks her as Mother places some food in front of her.

"I'd love too. Thank you so much." She says with tears running down her face. We pull her to us and hug her tightly.

"Can't seem to keep your hands off of her can you?"

We hear Mother say through the pack link. We look over at her only to see a smirk on her face. We roll our eyes and pull back from Izzy. She stopped crying and now she's all smiles.

"You need to eat." We say then start to eat our own food. She nods and eats her own food as well.

We need to keep our feelings locked up from now on.
