One punch on the face. I winced. That must have hurt.

"Okay Kyle, try again. Take a deep breath, open your senses. You have to sense what side he is coming from"

"This is hard. Can't I just take this off my eyes?"pointing to the cloth that is wrapped around his eyes.

"No."I said firmly. "Listen to move, smell him. You need to learn how to defend yourself without using your eyes. Rogues play dirty, they might throw dirt in your eyes or poison making it difficult for you to open your eyes."I explained again.

"Jeez. Poison?"

"Focus"I said sternly.

This wasn't a joke. It was seriously and I had to make them understand that this was a possibility.

I was making my group learn how to fight without using the most dependent sense which is their eyes. They never know what could happen in a fight with other packs or worst rogues. Packs know that there are sent of rules they need to follow when challenging other pack. Rogues don't care about rules.

"Ok Michael start."

Michael approaches him from the back, Kyle senses this so moves to face him. Michael moves to Kyle side quickly to do a sneak attack. Jumped to tackle him but Kyle must have sense this because he moves out of the way, Michael lands on his feet. They walk around each other. None of them moving but just sensing each other and trying to predict what's their next move. Michael goes in for a punch in the gut, Kyle moves but got too cocky that he didn't succeed to move away from the punch that landed on his face. Kyle was surprised, so much so that he didn't sense Michael tackling him to the floor.

"Not bad boys. Take five Michael."Michael removed his cloth from his eyes and blinked at the sun.

"Mia get in the circle with Kyle"

Mia does what I ask of her.

"Aw Miss don't I get a break?"Kyle asked sounding pitiful.

"Not until you win a fight"

"I could if I could see"he argued back.

"You wanna little tip to help you win?" I asked.

He quickly nodded, grinning big like I was giving him a way to cheat.

"Stop getting cocky because it distracts you and then you get humbled real quick. It's pathetic. Make sure your head is always in the game."

His grin faded like he wasn't help with my tip but he was grateful. He nodded

"You need help with your senses too. This would help with your speed. The faster you react and win a fight, the sooner you will win and we could all go home"

"But Mia is a girl. I don't want to hurt her"

If I rolled my eyes any harder, I was sure it was going to fall out of its socket.

"You do realise that there are bad women in the world that won't hesitate to kick you ass right? In a war, a battle, everything is fair."

"Jee Miss Clayford, go and darken my day would ya"

I pinched his nipples which made him jump away from me and rub them.

"Shut up Kyle and win a fight"I told him sounding annoyed

"Alright"he drawled out.

Mia was excellent at dodging so she successfully dodges all of Kyle's approaches. This annoys Kyle and you would smell the desperation.

"Breathe Kyle. Don't get annoyed or agitated because you will lose"I reminded him.

Kyle takes a deep breath. Surprised Mia with a quick punch on the side. I grin. Whilst Mia reacts, Kyle is quick with another punch, this one right on the gut. Mia doubled down, so Kyle punched her in the face which make Mia fall. He finally won a fight!

"Well done Kyle. You won...finally. Go home."

He takes off his cloth, helped Mia off the floor and gives her a kiss on the forehead after apologising.

"Mia. Never get surprised in a fight. You took too long to get back to the game. Someone punches you, don't react to the pain, try to sense his next move, dodge that and go in for a punch before they even pull their arms back."

"Yes Miss Blair"

"Great. Go home"she nods and starts to pack.

I turn to Michael who was laying down on the grass, his eyes were closed but he sat up when he felt my gaze on him.

"You done well young Michael"I grinned.

He returned my grin with one of his.

"Go on and get home"

He looked exhausted and I couldn't blame him. He had been working no stop.

"Thank you"is all he says before packing his things in his bag and leaving without looking back.

I followed suit.

----------

I hated hearing the beeping sound the machine made but it was the only thing that was telling me that he was alive. Each time I come into his room hoping that he would open his eyes but he never does.

I was worried that he wasn't ever going to wake up. That he gave up in life without knowing that I forgave him. Without knowing that he was an uncle to two amazing kids.

Is him being in coma prolonging the inevitable? Was I going to lose my only blood family other than my twins? Was my best friend going to lose her mate?

I don't want to lose hope that he would wake but it has been weeks and we only got a hand movement from him. Disney is a lie, true love kiss doesn't wake anyone up, not that I know Amy kissed him but if I knew like I thought I did, then she would have tried that already.

I squeezed his hands and tried to hold back the stubborn tears that were constantly threatening to escape.

I decided to visit him after having a sleepless night thinking about all the good moments I had shared with my brother. I didn't think about all those bad time, the times that he called me names, or treated me like I was his employee rather than his sister. No. I just focused on the good things, the things that made me love him. The things that made him into a good person.

"Please wake up Tom"I managed to whisper without bursting into tears.

"Amy needs you"I told him once I got myself in better control.

I need you.

Nothing. No responses.

I clenched my jaw, starting to get annoyed. Annoyed that he wasn't fighting for himself, his pack and his mate. He was the beta for heaven sake. He made a oath.

Then a thought came to me. Tom might be able to hear me but he doesn't know it's me. Yes my voice probably didn't change much but I turned off my scent therefore he has no idea, truly, who I was. He might thinking that I was a fraud. Someone Calvin hired to get him to wake up.

So without even wasting another minute thinking, I turn on my scent. Hope raises to my heart when I see his eye brow move and he squeezes my hands back. It was tiny, but it was something. Then he just stops. He's eye brows went back to normal and he stopped squeezing my hand. I wait for couple of minutes, hoping he would open his eyes. But he doesn't. I wait for few more minutes, feeling hopeful. Nothing.

I let out a sigh, disappointment filling me. I pulled my hands away. I turned of my scent and stared at my brother for a second before standing up, giving him a kiss on his forehead and leaving without looking back at him.

----------

" Whoa!" I sang into my hair brush as I slide across the room with the help of my socks.

It was movie night so the kids and I were getting ready to watch a movie. We got ready, put on our PJs and turned up the radio while we waited for our snacks to be ready.

"I feel good, I knew that I would, now" I continued along to the song on the radio.

"I feel good, I knew that I would, now"Lily joined in by shouting rather than singing.

I smiled at my daughter, jumping in excitement. I handed the hair brush I was using at my mic to Cameron who then sang into it

"So good, so good, I got you"

We took turns singing into the brush, moving our hips and head to the beat. Cameron and I were in our zone, singing one of our favourite song that we didn't even realise that we had an audience other than Lily.

We spun around at the same time, going to give Lily the mic only for us to freeze and look at our guest with owl eyes.

The song continued to play in the background as we blinked at Calvin who was looking very amused at the situation.

He cleared his throat which is when I unfroze and took him in. He was grinning like he just saw the best thing in his life. I would have narrowed my eyes at him but I was still shocked to see him there holding two pizza boxes on one hand and my daughter in the other.

"Calvin"I choked out.

I ran to turn off the radio, almost falling to my ass on the way.

When I returned to stand in front of him, I felt his eyes on my legs. My bare legs because I was only wearing a shirt I stole from one of the guys, my panties and my socks.

It was my turn to clear my throat. His eyes reluctantly moved away from my legs to my eyes. There was heat in his eyes when his eyes met mine for a second before it disappeared making me think I imagined it.

"Hey"he said, his voice so low I could feel it in places I had no right feeling it in.

"W-what are you doing here?"I asked sounding annoyed.

"Thought I would join the party."was his reply.

I folded my arms which bought my shirt that was up to my knees to hike higher.

"I believe it was invite only"I replied snarkily.

I was being a brat. I knew it and from the way he was looking at me, he knew it too. He just didn't care.

"Bought pizza"he said holding the boxes up like I couldn't see it before.

"Yes I can see"I lamely mumble.

"Cool... pizza"my son says in a haze as he pays no attention to anyone but the pizzas.

I wasn't going to lie and say that it didn't smell good because it did.

"Is it from Vinnie's?"I asked.

Vinnie's had the best pizza in redwood without a doubt. I could never get tired of it. It was so good then I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a whole week and still crave it.

"Do birds have wings"was his reply.

I rolled my eyes.

His eyes move to the blankets on the floor before returning to mine with a question.

"Movie night"I said with a shrug, not needing to say more to it.

"Then I guess I came on a good night. Pizza and movies are meant to be darling"

"Amen to that"my daughter says trying to snatch the pizza box.

Unsuccessfully.

Calvin chuckled and placed my daughter down.

"Give me the pizza tall man"she demands jumping up and down grabbing on his jeans.

"Manners Delilah" I tell my young daughter.

Calvin didn't look offended at all, in fact he thought she was adorable. He shook his head in amusement and handed one box to her.

"I like you"my daughter tells him before walking off with the box of pizza.

"Hear that, she likes me"he said sounding both proud and happy at that fact.

It made my heart sting, in guilt and sadness.

"She likes everyone"I said.

I didn't even know why I said that.

Calvin just shrugged not letting me spoil his mood.

"Come let's eat before pizza gets cold"he said watching me.

"I will get the plates"I said needing to get away from his watchful eyes for one second.

Before he could offer to get the plates like I knew he would, I quickly turned around, ignoring the lump growing in my throat.

"Breathe breathe"I whisper to myself when I made it to the kitchen.

"Hey you got any pop?"he asked, snapping me back into reality.

I didn't even realise that he followed me. What kind of Ace wolf was I? What kind of wolf was I?

I spun around with deer light eyes.

"What?"I asked in a whisper.

"Pop? Soda? You got any?"

I blinked as what he asked registered fully in my head.

"It's 7 o'clock. I give you pop, the kids would ask and I wouldn't get them to sleep tonight"I told him before swirling around and hurriedly getting the paper plates out.

"Orange juice would be fine"

I gestured at the fridge and he nodded before opening it and getting the almost full jug of orange juice out.

When he left the kitchen area, I took a breath to calm myself before. When I left the kitchen, my eyes landed on Calvin who was luckily had his eyes are on the twins. He was literally in my living room, on top of the pillows and blankets I set on the fluffy carpet, sitting with my daughter on his lap and my son tucked to his side.

My daughter was animatedly telling him something while eating her slice of pizza, Cameron wasn't even pretending to listen as he devoured his slice of pizza.

My heart pierces, aches and no matter how much I rub my chest. The pain wasn't going away. I knew it wasn't gonna until I told him. Which meant that this feeling was permanent and I should pretty much suck it up.

I knew that they didn't need the plates anymore but I brought them with me anyways.

"What do you say to Calvin?" I asked my twins when I sat beside my son.

"Thank you Calvin"they both yell.

"So what you guys watching?"he asks with his mouth full.

"Home alone" Cameron answers with his mouth full

"Don't talk with you mouth full"both Lily and I snap at the same time sounding disgusted.

Calvin and Cameron literally-kid you not-roll their eyes at the same time. They are literally twins. Cameron is Calvin's literal copy and sometimes it freaked me out how much they looked alike. Okay not literal copy since he got my noses. The only things I would say he got from me was nose, ears and taste in music and food. Other than that, Calvin and Cameron are identical...well in looks and the fact that they like to talk with the mouth full. Yuck.

After a few minutes, I settled down a bit, caught my breath and forcing myself to just accept that Calvin was here in my living with my children tucked in each of his sides. It's okay. He doesn't know that his kids.

-this is just plain evil at this point. Look at them. He loves them already and he doesn't even know that's his kids.-

I obviously ignored my wolf, mainly because she's making sense and I don't want to listen to sense right now.

There was a knock on the door.

I furrowed my brows, thinking about whether I was expecting anyone or not. When I came to the conclusion that I wasn't, I glanced at Calvin who was looking back at me with furrowed brows too.

The knock came again. I sniffed the air, the scent was familiar but I couldn't pinpoint who it belonged to.

"You expecting anyone?"he asked.

I shook my head.

Calvin sniffed the air then rolled his eyes.

"It's one of my enforcers"he told me.

What were his enforcers doing here?

He unwraps both of his arms from the twins which made them look at him with confusion.

"Sorry kids, I gotta deal with this"he said before kissing each of them on their head and then standing up.

That sight made my heart warm and I knew what I had to do but the longer I stayed here and allowed Calvin to get closer to both the twins and I. The harder it got telling him and the guiltier I felt.

I couldn't stay anymore. I knew I own it to Cole to come and help him out but this is getting harder and more complicated by the day. I had to leave. I knew my team in Moonlight would understand if I go back to the pack. They won't be mad. That made them the best people I know.

I watched as Calvin had words with his enforcer, a male I have seen with both Tom and Calvin before. We won't friends but I knew he was a good man. When he saw me getting shoved my some of the kids I use to go to school with, he was one of the very few people to actually stop them from doing it. He yelled at me many times to fight back but of course I never did. I had forgotten his name but never the times he intervened. I was glad to see that he was one of the enforcers.

I was going to listen but thought better of it.

They said last words to each other before the enforcer spun around and walked away.

Calvin returned looking more tense than I had ever seen him. He carried himself stiffly and walked closer to us. He had me worried for a second before his face broke into a huge smile. It was amazing blinding and made me feel things that I shouldn't feel for him.

"What?"I asked sounding almost in awe.

"Tom is awake"
