"Devil" Raine gasps as the hand around her moves away and she turns around to jump into her mate's arms.

"I missed you," she pouts kissing him all over his face.

"Well you promised to join me in the shower and when you did not show up I came looking for you" he grins as he puts her back on her seat.

"Sorry busy" she nods towards the computer.

"It's okay I took the shower alone. Do you need any help?" he asks as he himself takes a seat next to her.

"If you are Tony Stark then yes else you are of no use to me" she grins before focusing on her work.

"Iron man?" he asks with a frown.

"Yes, I need Jarvis terribly at times like this" she pouts even if he eyes are focused on the screen.

"Okay I can be your Jarvis what do you want" he asks as he rolls the seat closer to the screen as well.

"I was just kidding" she smiles at how sweet he was.

"New recruits?" Devilin asks seeing the pictures in the screen.

"Yes, I was putting the information in the data, need to do so. Therefore, it will be easier to point out who is capable of doing what so it makes work easier for the trainers to go from there...

You just had a match with them any special things I need to know," she asks as she looks over at him once before looking back at the screen.

"Yeah, stay away from them" he growls in her ear as he nips it lightly making her giggle.

Accidentally her fingers slip and hits the enter button and the computer starts to work on its own making her groan.

"Oops sorry, can you work on it?" Devilin grins unapologetically.

"I have magical fingers babe" Raine smiles before she goes to undo it all but her fingers stop mid-air just as Devilin holds her hand.

"I will take the sorry back" Devilin states as he gets up from his seat.

"Uh...yeah" Raine stutters as both their eyes stares at the screen in shock.

"We have rogues in the house" Devilin speaks the words that were in both of their minds as the faces of the new recruits matches the faces of the rogues Raine was scanning.

"Alert..." Raine suggest but Devilin stops her once again.

"No, not now...let them stay"

"But..."

"I know what I am doing; let them think their identity is not revealed...inform only the warriors that have gotten Beta status, only the Beta warriors....

No one else, not even the council or Novas, ask them to guard the faculty with their life and let the rogues roam, keep eye on them, where they are going and coming through"

"But what if..."

"Stalker, trust me baby I know what I am doing, they are in our territory that's a direct attack and I am not putting my trust in anyone right now except you...

Beta's are the one who have not been out in the field yet and their identities are hidden, so just use them, the chances of them being replaced by anyone is less" he requests as he holds her cheeks in his palm.

"Okay, what are you going to do till then?"

"I am bringing in my own force, don't leave the room. I will come back okay?" he asks as he kisses her forehead.

"Okay, don't take long" she whispers as her heart beats faster.

"You have no idea how long I am" he teases her.

"Ugh, be serious Devil" she laughs hugging him.

"Love you," he whispers as he kisses her one more time.

"Love you right back" she replies just as he disappears from the room using a portal.

*******

"What is this...some secret meeting?" Rom's voice makes Raine jump a bit.

"No, we were going for an orgy but you interrupted us" Raine snaps at the man.

"Hmm, shall I join?" he wiggles his brow as he wraps his arms around Raine's neck and pulls her closer to him.

"You stink go shower" she gags pushing him away from her.

"This is all man sweat, girls like you will never understand" he sighs sadly before looking around the room to find it filled with the warriors.

"Whatever," Raine grumbles before waving the boys off to their duty.

"Being one of the council and as the head of the faculty may I know what the hell this gathering was all about?" Rom asks as he stops Raine from walking away.

"No you cannot"

"What the fuck were they even doing in here?" he grumbles not letting her go.

"Go bug your own mate"

"I like fucking her and bugging is for you"

"Ewe" she gags once again.

"Don't change the subject," he warns her strictly.

"I was just catching up with them as well as giving them the details on their duties, don't I have the right to even do so?" she asks him with a roll of an eye.

"No, you do not that's Ethan's job"

"And I have not seen him around for quiet some times"

"Is there something you are hiding?" he asks narrowing his eyes her way.

"Okay fine you got me, I was making some evil plan for world domination but you just ruined the surprise" she sighs before elbowing on his stomach so he can let her go.

"Funny, but I will get to the end of it"

"Yeah just keep being delusional," she shouts before disappearing into her room.

*******

"What are you doing here?"

"Can I not come and seek my aunt?" Devilin states smilingly as he gives Emma a hug.

"Yes you can and both of us seek each other only when we need something and seeing the things not going well" she stops talking and just stares at him.

"You got me. I came to ask for your help"

"We do not get into councils matter anymore"

"Not even when it regards your mate?" he asks making her glare at him.

"The only thing that regards me is my family"

"We are your family too"

"We have discussed about this before Dev and I am sorry I cannot help you on this one" she shakes her head no before turning her back to him.

"The news of Adrian's and Scar's death must have come to you I guess, if it was not for those dragons we would still be mourning them...

They are your Alpha's no matter what you say, Adrian never raised any questions when all of you decided to walk out of the pack house and start living on your own...

He still has not said a word on your decisions, it was not just you, who lost your friends in the battle but he lost his pack members too, the one he vowed to protect...

He could have ordered you all easily to stay in the pack but he did not because being your Alpha he understood more than anyone what you all needed at the time...

Not his order or protection but your independence and his love and support at the decisions you all made...

So, think on it Aunt, someone harmed your Alphas and your pack not once but twice, someone pretending to be one of your family left scars on your family, won't you even try to protect them, won't you even try to give them justice for once?"

He asks pleading with her and hoping she would say yes to come back home.

"If Adrian wanted us back, he would have asked us to stop," she whispers remembering the time all of them decided to walk out of the house as they felt threatened and unwanted and not once did their Alpha stopped them.

"Then as your Alpha I am asking you to come back home not as a weapon but as a family member" Adrian's voice shocks them both and they turn around to find Adrian putting on his shirt and Tony beside him.

*******

"What are you two doing here?" Emma asks shocked to see them both standing on her grounds and she did not even feel them coming.

"Relax, we came here in peace and I don't think anyone of them would be able to stop me" Adrian grins as he points at the special force hiding away but he could sense them.

One by one, they walk out of their hidden spots making them known and nod at their Alpha out of respect.

"I apologize if I ever made you all feel unwanted but the time of you all wanting to walk out was not perfect...

I was not over the fact that I lost my child and I assumed you all thought I was not worthy of being your Alpha but now that I have got my daughter back I want all of you back home as well...

I should have done this, years ago but I apologize for my lack of duty towards you all, I think we both have abandoned each other for far too long and it is time we put our ego and whatever hard feelings we have away and start again...

Emma, I am not asking this as your Alpha and I will never put that title first but I am asking this as someone who wants his family to be restored please come back home...

Do not punish yourself for the faults I have done, do not stop your happiness for something that occurred years ago...

Your mates are waiting for you all back home and even if they want to drag you back I know as a mate to someone that they would rather admire and love you from far away then forcing you to do something you do not want to...

As a spokesperson for all of your mates I request you to come back home and put them out of their misery, lets starts once again from the beginning...

Just as you they are incomplete without you and I cannot watch them suffer as they protect you from far away and look out for you leaving them free from harm" Adrian speaks before he howls looking up at the sky and in answer, he hears a few howls back.

The special force all gasps as they hear the footsteps of the wolves before they shift in to their human form.

"We did not..." Tim, one of the Special Force speaks as he finds his mate standing among the pack of wolves.

"I never made myself known to you" the girl even if a warrior at heart speaks shyly to her mate.

"Why are you doing this?" Emma speaks as she steps forward and her friends step back remembering their place.

"Because I am fed up waiting for you to come back to your senses" Tony growls as he steps forward to speak to his mate one who has tossed him away so easily.

"I have good sense far better than yours"

"We all can see that, forcing them away from any human contact"

"It's for their safety"

"From who?"

"Everyone" Emma hisses.

"Then what about their safety from you?" Tony growls in anger as he comes face to face with her.

******

"They..."

"Shut up Emma, you talk so damn much always have, and once in your life listen to me. I never wanted to talk or shift but you forced me to, I never wanted to have anything to do with you...

But you kept seeking me each time, but when you made the biggest decision of your life you did not even think about me, not once...

You just left without a word, I was one of you as well, but not once did you turn around to check on me while I being the one stupid wolf always following you around to just see if you were safe, all of us being the stupid mates respected your decisions to be left alone...

While none of you, not for once stopped and thought about your mates suffering, but enough is enough, so decide would you rather spend the rest of your lives this way...

Hiding and running away before someone names you the rogues or step forward to live with us as our better half and let us claim you" he finalizes as he glares at his mate in anger for her stupidity.

"Are you saying you will reject me?" Emma asks stunned.

"No, I am not as selfish as you but I cannot keep running behind you for the rest of my life"

"What about the times I ran after you, you bastard? Did you think for once about my feelings?" she shouts pushing him away in anger and she keeps pushing him before he grabs and pushes her in for a kiss.

The wolf whistles and catcalls makes them separate but Tony does not let go of her.

"Decide Emma, you want forever with me or without me"

"I cannot, they..."

"You all have mates who will fight the battle along side you all you have to do is take that one last step towards us...

Look around and see how many lives are at a stop because of your decision, none of them will step forward because they do not want to betray you" he speaks softly as he turns her head around to see all of her friends were eagerly waiting for her decision so they can go to their mate.

"I am sorry that I hurt you all," she cries before submitting to her mate.

"Welcome back baby" Tony sighs hugging her just as a few of the wolves jump above them to reach their mates.

*******

"Where to?" Adrian asks as he puts the seat belt on.

"How did you know I was going to approach her?" Devilin asks in amusement, as he had no clue Adrian would show up or for the turn of events.

"I did not; it was just a mere co-incidence that I thoroughly enjoyed. When I lost Raine that night, I had shut myself off totally and after what happened with Ariel and a few of my pack members, I shifted all of these special kids to HP...

I was not confident enough to take care of them, so when Emma decided to leave everything behind, I could not bring myself to stop her and how could I when I failed them all as their Alpha...

That was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. When the twins came in my life they brought me back to my old self, little by little and when they asked if they could join the faculty, I did not want to let them go...

Somewhere in everything, I had abandoned these kids and that guilt, regret left me shameful and I could not bring myself to go and seek them...

Few years back Tony came back home with this group of kids who accidentally found out about being mates with the special kids and asked if I could bring them back home, but how could I?

I did not know how to bring them back home, but what I could do was look after them, I trained them to hide their scent and make them as invisible as they can be, so they can protect their mates from far away...

These special kids they may be powerful but they are not well trained, so their instincts are not as sharp as they should have been...

And when I had that death experience it opened my eyes on a different level, I wanted to throw all of my guilt away and start acting on things and the things that are under my limits and control better, the first step was to reconcile with these kids that I abandoned for far too long...

I need them to be home not for me but for themselves," Adrian explains with a deep sigh, as he gets comfortable in the seat.

"You did well," Devilin smiles as he starts the car.

"Yeah, so where to next" Adrian asks once again making Devilin chuckle.

"What makes you think we are going anywhere but back home?" Devilin replies back.

"Come on boy, I have known you from your diaper days and I know you are out to get as many forces with you as possible before it's too late" Adrian states with a laugh.

"You got me then; I am going to ask the witches help next"

"Will that be a good idea?" Adrian asks seriously, as the playfulness dies.

"I need to get every help I can and having a few of the witches in our favor won't hurt," he answers as they drive towards the witch's clan.
