Holly's Pov

It didn't take me long to realize why everything about this place seemed so familiar to me. It was the fact that it wasn't new, and that I had in fact been here before that had the alarm bells ringing in my head as we grew nearer and nearer to the pack in need.I felt sick.I should have realized it sooner, but I recalled that Adrian had never told me the packs name, and the fact I hadn't told him about the pack which had made growing up for me hell other than what they had done to me, meant that he probably didn't have any idea either.He was going to kill them all. I didn't doubt it. He was overprotective of me, the majority of the pack having asked me at some time or another how I managed to put up with his behavior as he seemed to push being protective to a whole other level. They didn't seem to understand that to me it showed he cared, that both I and my wolf liked it since after years of neglect there wasn't a single moment when I was with him that I believed myself to be anything but perfect for him. I loved him. I adored him. He was my everything.So why would it bother me if he seemed to want to be in my presence as much as possible? That he didn't like me going anywhere alone or that he tried to dote on my every whim as if I was a princess? I had never had anyone like that in my life before. It only enhanced how he seemed to be perfect for me, knowing exactly what I needed and when. I was never sad because he was there to comfort me before even I knew I was upset. It was nice. I licked my lips nervously as I remembered more and more about the area we were driving through as I looked out of the window. It left me conflicted. Should I or should I not tell him?He would want to know, right? I almost laughed at myself, of course he did. He had given up asking but I could sense that there were times he wanted to do nothing more than get their name out of me and storm them into a war, effectively killing them all. They were a vicious pack after all.But did I want that? The answer was no, I didn't want anyone to die on my name even if they had been incredibly cruel and manipulative when I was with them. Adrian had taught me that a pack was family, and yet my own brother who shared the same blood as me treated me as if I was nothing? A criminal who needed to be taught a lesson when I was nothing other than innocent!I still questioned why the pack had turned on me like they did. Why did my brother treat me like he did? What was wrong with me? Was there even anything wrong with me? Adrian didn't seem to think so."Urm…Adrian," I managed to stutter out after deciding that I couldn't tell him. He trusted me; I wasn't going to risk that for anything.He must have sensed the slight tremor in my tone as in the next second he was pulling up on the curb, the rest of the pack behind slamming on the breaks as not to overtake.Turning to face me he turned his engine off, giving me his undivided attention. "What is it, sweetheart?" he cupped my cheek. "Do you not feel well?"I shook my head at that. I felt fine. "Urm…" "Do you want another drink?" he was already reaching towards the back of the car for the cooler he had brought from the store. I thought it was a little over the top but I wasn't going to complain, it was sweet and I loved that he always made it clear how deeply he cared for me. I once again shook my head, I wasn't thirsty. I had already consumed two bottles of water and an orange juice; if I drank anymore I would burst. Might as well just get out with it, I thought."Urm…what pack are we going to help?" I asked hesitantly. There was still a chance that it wasn't my old one, right?"The Midnight Pack."Or maybe not.Crap."Why?"I shook my head, the fact he seemed to confirm it made it seem all the more real to me. So forcing on a fake smile I replied with "nothing" as I tried to seem as normal as possible. I needed to gather my thoughts and fast, because there was no way I was going into that hell hole without Adrian knowing my past. He needed to protect me, and I needed him there. I knew I wouldn't feel at all safe if he was away from me, not there, and now I had a pup to look after as well I wasn't not going to tell him.I was thinking of two now."You sure?" he stared at me.I nodded. While I knew he was aware that not all was fine I was relieved when he left it and started the car, even if he kept glancing at me with worry tainting his handsome face. A few more minutes and I would be able to reorganise my thoughts. I needed time to pull myself together. It seemed to take longer than I had planned, but just before he made a move to pull into the familiar driveway towards the pack house I told him to stop the car. He did so quickly, his worry and concern soaking into my own emotions because of the link we shared.

Hope you are enjoying my book it's almost done 

It was another thing about him that I adored. He didn't try and blunt his emotions from me, he let me feel and that was all I asked for. Trust. Love. Affection. Forever. And I knew I had it all with him. I was a very lucky girl, I knew that and I wasn't about to take it for granted."What is it, baby? You're really starting to worry me right now."I didn't want him to worry."The…" I took a deep breath. "The pack—"He nodded slowly. "What about the pack? Our pack?""No, t—the other p—pack—""Have you changed your mind? You say the word, baby, and I will turn this car around and head back home. It's up to you, I told you if this is making you uncomfortable then it isn't worth it."I swallowed loudly. God, this was hard. "T—the pack are—was…uh…mine" I whispered. He stiffened instantly, his eyes narrowing before they softened just slightly as he ran his fingers through my hair. I purred. "What did you say, sweetness?"I knew he had head, but I had a feeling he didn't want to believe the truth just as much as I didn't. It made it real, oh so real."There m—my old pack," I managed to grab hold of his hand before he burst from the car. "Please don't," I pleaded. "Just think about it—" "Think about it!" he snapped. "They are monsters, Holly! And to think I even planned to help them, it makes me sick!""I know," I nodded quickly. "But they don't deserve whatever you have planned," I could practically sense the rage which came off him. "Please.""They abused you, Holly!" he scowled. "Do you have any idea how horrific that is? For a pack to do that to not only another pack member, but to a young and defenceless woman?""I know, I was there—""Exactly!" he slapped his hands against the steering wheel. "And it kills me that I wasn't there," he mumbled.I felt my entire body go slack at his admission. "Is that what has you so sad? That you weren't there for me?" he nodded. "You weren't even there then, Adrian. We didn't even know each other."He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off."And if you were I know that you would look after me. I know that you would have protected me, cared for me and told me that everything would be ok. I trust you completely, I always will, but there are other women and children in that pack. I don't want to go back, but please can we just help them?" I pleaded. I just hoped he listened.  *** Holly's Pov  To say Adrian was tense would have been an understatement. Every single muscle seemed to be clenched tightly under his tanned skin as he helped me out of the car after we pulled into the driveway. It didn't escape my attention that he made sure I was always behind him, that he would be able to protect me if it actually came down to it. It didn't complain.In fact I made sure to tell him that I appreciated the gesture a lot more than he probably thought I was. I wasn't like most girls in the pack who were utterly independent, I liked leaning on my mate as he leaned on me.It was us, and it worked."Are you sure about this, Sweetheart?" He gave me the opportunity to back out.I nodded, shooting the pack a sad look as I saw they looked just as tense as my man did. I didn't blame them, their Alpha wasn't happy so as a result neither were they. While they had no idea of how this pack was linked to my past, that didn't change the fact I knew they would act just as strongly as Adrian had.They were family, and family cared."Fine," I heard him sigh before he headed up the small steps at the front of the porch with the rest of us in toe."They could have started by selling the cars," Ryan grunted as he took in the sports cars and a vast number of highly expensive vehicles. I agreed with him, it was unnecessary. Some of them looked like they had never even been driven, so what was the point in having them? To show off? If so, to who and for what purpose? KnockKnock Knock I jumped slightly when the door quickly opened, my breath catching in my throat as I caught sight of the man I hadn't seen since I had run away from this hell hole.He hadn't changed, his hair and eyes were still dark as his gaze trailed over Adrian while trying to hide the fact he was clearly nervous. My mate's reputation was known throughout our entire species after all. I was proud of him."You must be Adrian," my brother, and I use that term loosely, smiled charmingly as he held out his hand.Adrian reluctantly took the offered gesture, but everyone seemed to cringe when my brother yelped as the sound of crushing bones could be heard.I didn't blame him, but ouch."And your name…""Charlie," he stuttered out, holding his wounded hand to his chest. "Please, come in and meet the rest of the pack."
