Betta nodded, not really concerned with seeing others right now. When he said Kai's name, it made her remember the conversation she had with Iggy right before this and caused her to sigh. This next year was going to be hell spending so much time with the other woman. Right now, however, she was just too tired and sore to care. Her head was throbbing with a horrible headache from all of the rampant emotions,

When Bryce walked in with Betta, Sare's head snapped up, hoping it had been Iggly only to be terribly disappointed. She looked back down again, arms wrapped around herself. It wasn't until Kai told her that Iggy was downstairs did she shoot up, and sprinted out, wanting to see if he was okay.

Adelle smiled as Betta was brought in, just so happy to see that she was alive. "Hey Bets." She said as the Italian girl gave her a weak smile back, looking very exhausted, weak, and pale.

"Ciao." She said quietly, taking a deep breath as she felt the mattress beneath her back. "Talk to you soon. Promise." She mumbled as she turned towards Bryce and was instantly out now that things had quieted in her head a little and she had a chance to relax. She knew with Bryce here, she was safe. And that was all that mattered to her.

Adelle just watched as Betta pretty much just zonked out before even getting a chance to say anything. She still didn't even know the good new. Not that even that made her feel good right now. It was so terrible, and she hated what was happening right now. Leaning over, she brushed the girls thick hair out of her face as she looked to Bryce with a smile. "She'll be alright. She just needs sleep." She tried to be positive and assure the man. She was just so happy that Betta had found a man to love her as much as Bryce did and to take care of the headstrong girl who was always getting herself into trouble.

"You're words aren't very nice. They don't help. You're supposed to tell me that s-she's going to w-wake up." Erik's voice choked up a little, resisting at first as Iggy tugged on his hand before finally letting go. It was like a spell was broken, and he knew his mom wasn't going to wake up anymore. He just curled up into a ball and continued to cry for his lost mom to which he was never getting back.


Devin nodded at her words as he kissed her cheek. "We'll get you changed, and after you wake up this next time, we can run you a shower. Okay?" He told her softly, just wanting to hold her, but he wanted her comfort to come first before his. Giving her cheek one last kiss, he stood up once more and headed out to their room to grab her a comfortable outfit to wear for now. Coming back soon with a pair of sweats and a tank top, he sat down on the bed next to her so he could help her change into them.

Kai knew Betta wasn't her biggest fan but she didnt really care. Would it be a hell of a lot easier in the coming year? Hell yes. But that wasn't going to be the case obviously. Okay, so it hurt a little. This was his best friend's betrothed and she didnt want to lose him or make him pick a side. Bryce had been with her through her mother's slaughter, through battles, through lessons...that kind of friendship couldn't be replaced. Once Sare was in a better state of mind and this was all over she'd have to talk to her about it.

Bryce looked up with a small smile and a nod having pulled a chair beside the bed after he restes her on the bed but Kai could see the guilt wrecking her best friend. "Don't you let me catch you with so much guilt in your eyes..." she told him, her voice low so she wouldn't wake Betta.

"How am I not supposed to feel guilty, Ying?!"

"You didnt know. None of us did. You need to focus on the fact that she is okay and you all got there in time before something much worse happened." She added, her voice not as harsh as her words though as she rested a hand on his shoulder. "She's going to be okay, Bryce....you need to focus on the positive right now...you know h-" He cut her off with a look, one of very few people who got away with that.

"I know but guess what thats hard when you've never had someone you care about on the verge of de- Kai thats not what I meant and you know it." He instantly regretted his words, reaching for his best friend's hand but she moved out of his reach.

"Fuck. You." She snapped through her teeth, her eyes actually brimming with tears but not a single one fell. Kai didnt cry. Even her childhood friends only saw the rare instance those tears fell and Bryce knew he'd crossed a line. "I'm getting air." She added before heading out of the room to the hallway, ignoring others as she attempted to get her temper under control. Bryce thunked his head in his hands, cursing under his breath. He wasn't blind or as oblivious as people believed. He knew Betta wasn't a fan of Kai but Kai was trying and still willing to teach her. He didnt even want to be in the castle while that training was going on....

Iggy scooped the young boy up in his arms so his head rested on his warm shoulder. "I know bud...." he said softly as he carried him out of the room, nearly ramming into Sare on the way upstairs away from the chaos. He gave her a weak smile, mouthing 'Im fine' before running his hand down the child's back soothingly. "Its a really bad thing that happened today but it gets easier. Trust me Erik. It will take time but it eventually does get easier to deal with the pain..." he assured him gently, looking to Sare with a solemn shake of his head.

Nina nodded, waiting until he came back to argue with him, "I dont want to sleep again. What if you have to leave again and they come back....?" She asked him, obviously scared shitless by just what happened. She was uses to the constant threat of demons and things but in her panicked and pain-ridden state she couldn't bring herself to face against the wolf. _

Luckily, Betta was sleeping during this fight, and she had no idea what was gonig on. Adelle wasn't that lucky, however, as she just sat there awkwardly staring at her fingers. She twisted her wedding ring around on her finger, wondering what she was supposed to do when the door opened up and Ian appeared. Letting out a breath she stood up and hurried over to give her husband a large hug as she held him tightly. Ian just hugged her back tightly, pressing kisses into her soft hair. "Come on angel, Celene wants to have a word with you real quick." He told her as he nodded to Bryce before leading his wife out of the room and where Celene was waiting. He knew he had to give her up soon, and she had to go to this other world with the others, but he wanted to hold onto her as long as he possibly could.

Sare nearly fell over in relief when she found, actually almost ran into Iggy. When she caught Erik in his arms, her eyes filled with tears as she watched Iggy comfort the little boy with his loss. She kept quiet as she wiped the tears away from her eyes, not saying anything as she moved to the side. Then she tugged on Iggy's shirt and pointed in the opposite direction. 'His father is here.' She mouthed to him, hearing Erik cry into Iggy's neck and shoulder which only broke her heart more.


Devin shook his head stubbornly as he looked at her. "I'm not leaving again. Not until I know that you're safely in Lumicera with Kai and Bryce. I can't... I had the chance of losing you today Nina and I can't bear it. You have no idea just how much I need you." He whispered as he finished helping her dress and just sat there on the bed with her. "There's not way to put into words just how much you mean to me. "You're only going to stay here until the others come back, and we can move you to a safter location. Kyler is outside the door. Some pack members came by and took the wolf for questioning. and I swear to you nothing will happen to you or us for now." He promised her.

Bryce just nodded as Ian left with Adelle, looking back to Betta with a soft sigh as he ran his hand over his face. He was absolutely torn between going after Kai and staying with Betta. He hadn't meant what he said the way it came out, he was just really upset. By saying there had been no one he cared about that had been close to death he not only insulted his brother but Kai and Iggy as well. He just wanted to apologize and have his best friend back but he knew he needed to let her calm down before he went near her. He wasn't blind, he knew Betta didn't particularly like Kai but he thought it would at least get somewhat better over the months they'd been here and back home. Kai had done so much for Betta that she didn't even know about and that Kai would never openly admit. She didn't care if Betta didn't like her as long as she proved to be a good leader and partner for Bryce. He, however, didn't think he'd be able to deal with such a constant rift between two of the most important women in his life.

Kai had headed downstairs to see where she could be helpful, not helping that the first person she saw was Diana. She just pushed past her to try to find Iggy and Sare. She needed a distraction since Ian was with Adelle. She decided about what just happened she needed to bring Nina over sooner rather than later. Bryce could watch after Betta while she was passed out, she couldn't stay in that room anymore. Unfortunately by pushing her way past the bitchy wolf she'd given her a literal cold shoulder.

Iggy nodded as she tugged his shirt, kissing the top of her head lightly. He followed her to the other room. "Come on bud, we're gonna find your dad, okay?" He promised him, continuing to rub the boy's back as his eyes scanned the room before looking to Sare. 'Which one?' He mouthed to her, his heart breaking for the poor boy in his arms. At least he had his father still, that alone would make the process of accepting the circumstances a little more.

Nina nodded numbly, wiping at the tears without much success after she finished dressing. "Iggy might be coming back soon..." She mumbled, trying to control the tears streaming her face now regaining some color but her breath was she shaky. She knew she was on the border of being too weak to travel by shadows, Kai would have to figure it out when she got there. She curled into him, as if the action was going to prevent him from leaving. She just wanted to get better and for this hell to be over and done with. She felt sick to her stomach even though the pain had stopped for the most part.

Diana was talking to one of her friends in the pack when she felt a freezing shoulder shove into and past her. Whipping her head around, she growled as he icy blue eyes flashed yellow. "Watch where you're going outsider. One of these days it won't end so well for you." She growled and the room suddnely got quiet as all the wolves inside the room looked to the two women. Most of them shook their head, already knowing what was coming next. Diana was going to get her ass kicked. It had taken many months, but most of the pack respected Kai and her strength. Some of them may not like her personally, but they respected her strength and mate bond with Kyler. They had seen her preformances where other wolves had outed her and she put them back in their place, therefore knowing what she was capable of.

Erik just nodded his head as Sare led them into the other room where she pointed out the tallest man in the room who was bent over the white sheet covered body of his mate and sobbing. Sare sent him a gentle, mental nudge and the silent Jerrod looked up with red rimmed eyes to find his son in Iggy's arms. Walking up, he held his arms out.

"Erik..." He said in a watery voice as the little boy turned at his father's voice.

"Daddy!" He said as he leaped from Iggy's arms into his fathers as he hugged him tightly, Jerrod burying his face into his son's coppery hair. Looking up, he looked to Sare with a nod before turning to Iggy.

"Thank-you." He told him, and Sare found herself to be a little stunned. Jerrod never spoke to anybody he didn't know. So the fact that he even said a thanks was a little surprising. But these were different times.


Devin nodded as he wiped the tears from her face as they fell. "He'll probably bring Sare. She can't help give you a shower if you want, or do you want me to help you? I know you probably like the idea of being clean." He told her with a smile. He just wanted her to feel as normal as possible. Everying was so horrible right now. And with the death count still rising, and with her being too weak to travel still, it was hard right now. He knew he had to be strong for her right now.

Kai froze in her footsteps, not able to help the smirk on her face at Diana's words. Most days she could ignore the jabs and bites but today was different. She slowly turned towards Diana, "For me? Oh darling that just shows how little you know about me. Go back to bitching about how life isn't fair and how an outsider outranks your stuck-up ass with your friend and leave those of us actually helping do our jobs." She told her, her voice icy and cold, letting the woman know she was treading on thin ice. Very thin.

Iggy nodded at Jerrod's thanks, not knowing the man never spoke to anyone. "Of course. I was in the same position as him when I was his age..." He told the man with a small shrug, letting him know he didn't feel it was as big a deal as others would probably make it to be. To him, this kind of warfare was the lowest and most pathetic an enemy could play out. He was only grateful Erik still had his father and Nina and Betta were alright, even if Nina was shaken deeply. "You have each other but if you ever need anything..." He added, knowing how hard it was raising a kid on one's own after such an event. Ano had his hands full with him, and he was more than willing to help the grieving father with anything they would need.

Nina thought about it for a moment before replying, "You..." She told him, arms wrapping tighter around her abdomen where her scars laid. She didn't know Iggy had told Sare and she didn't want to explain it to her at the moment. She really liked Sare but she felt much more comfortable in Devin's arms, more sure he could support her since her legs barely could. She let out a choked laugh as she sniffled, "Clean sounds good..."

"Your time here is ticking down outsider." Diana hissed, eyes flashing in anger at Kai's words. "It won't be too long before you make a mistake and that you and that freak mix in your stomach won't be around to feed lies to our Alpha. And the day that you're gone, I'll be there to tell everyone I told them so. You've brought us nothing but trouble." The wolves became even more quiet if possible. Just for saying something about Kai and Kyler's child, Diana had just lost so much respect.

((...You dumb ho.))


Jerrod nodded to Iggy, holding his son tightly as Erik cried into his shoulder. "Thank-you." He just repeated as Sare tugged on Iggy's hand. That was all Iggy was going to get out of Jerrod it seemed. Sniffling, she swiped at her nose with her arm as she looked up at Iggy. She wanted to get out of her sisters way, knowing how stressful of a job it was.

Devin nodded as he kissed the top of her head, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Laying there with her, he rested his head on her shoulder as he closed his eyes. "Did you want to go now, or wait?" He asked her, not moving his head. He just wanted to hold her in his arms for a little while longer. To know she was going to be okay.

((Your side comment literally made me laugh....because its true...))

Kai would've just walked away and let Diana think she'd won but the comment about her child hit that nerve already frayed. Before the wolf could blink Kai had swiped her legs out from under her and slammed her into the ground. Ice shackled her to the floor of the mansion, so cold and tight it probably hurt like hell but Kai couldn't care less. "You listen to me. You may dress like the you're some smart know-it-all but everyone can see you for who you really are. A pathetic, scheming, power hungery whore who puts on a big show acting like a badass. You're weak and a pathetic excuse for a wolf much less a person. You ever dare threaten me or my family or any other "outsiders" you'll be begging for the spider shifter venom. Understood?" She growled, her voice never raising in volume. "Now. Either help like you're fucking supposed to or stay out of the way. As crappy of one as you are you're a leader. Act like one." With that the ice dissolved and Kai walked off, ironically having calmed a lot. Might have been because the ice shackles had also ruined Diana's pristine suit. She only wished she could've kicked her ass instead of the threat. This was also why Kyler didn't leave her alone with the pack for long clips.

Iggy nodded once more, feeling Sare's tug he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led het out of the room. Once they were out of most view he stopped her and stole a deep kiss from her lips. He just couldn't wait any longer. Finally after a few moments he pulled back slightly, wiping her tears away gently. "Hey...."

Nina thought about it for a moment, "In a little bit..." she told him softly, letting the herbs do their work as she relaxed against him. She wanted to just be with him, even though logic said she should be taking her shower now while it was somewhat quiet.

((She is! I mean... I knew she was dumb, just not this dumb. I'm all too happy to ready what Kai does to her! lol ))

Diana's eyes widened at the quickness and agility of the pregnant woman as she was suddenly pinned down to the ground. She didn't seem to get the hint, however, as she growled threateningly towards her. baring her teeth which looked slightly more pointed than usual as Kai went on. When she let go of her, she jumped to her feet as she glared evilly at the departing woman's back. Brushing off her suit, she felt her anger snap again as she realized that her suit was ruined. That was okay though, that unnatural whore and her freak of child were going to get what was coming to them. She would just have to fast foward plans a little.


Sare paused, startled as Iggy gave her a deep kiss once they were out of the room. Pulling back, she looked up at him with wide, blue eyes. She then just smacked his arm before tackling him. "Don't scare me like that again! I was so scared that something would happen to you and you wouldn't m-make it! I knew something felt wrong. It just all felt so wrong and then they said you were under attack just after learning about the poison and." She sucked in a breath of air as she fought off the tears that wanted to spill out as she continued to hug Iggy tightly.

Devin nodded as he moved his head to kiss her shoulder. "Sounds good. I just want to hold you right now. To make sure you're really here." He said before suddenly sitting up and looking at her. The words were almost out of his mouth. Almost, but something kept him from asking. He realized this wasn't what she needed. He needed to do this right. She deserved that much at least. Watching his girl, he pulled his hand up to brush his fingers through her hair, memorizing everything about her.

((*struggles to keep hand over mouth* NO! You must do it right mister! *pouty face* ))

((Keep your hand over his mouth because Nina will outright say no because she'll think its out of pitty (that and she's very traditional so the whole father thing is dear to her) -watches devin carefully-))

Iggy hugged her back tight, burying his face into her curls for a few moments before taking a break and pulling back so he could see her. "I love you so much. Know that I will always return to you." He promised her, tapping her engagement ring with a small smile. He looked like he wanted to say more when Kai rounded her corner.

"Igg-oops..." she let out a small laugh as she saw she'd interrupted their reunion. "Sorry to cut your reunion short but we've gotta go get Nina soon..." she told them, but one could tell she wanted to see Kyler. Diana was a manipulative bitch but something in her eyes said more. She was power hungry....and as soon as this mess was over Kai would bring her concerns to Haven and Celene. Right now she just really wanted to see Kyler. Though it didn't show at all, Diana had slightly rattled her. They'd picked here because they figured it would be safer for their daughter....

Nina blinked as her pillow was suddenly sitting up, looking like his mind was racing. "Devin....is everything alright?" She asked him, even though her eyes fluttered shut as his fingers ran through her hair.
