Theo's POV
I called my dad right after Sarah snuck out and ran home to the Franklin's house. She looked gutted as she looked around the area before crawling in her window. We sent the footage to our hacker, and he got to work.
After we checked on a sleeping Natalie, we started food.
"You good, brother?" I asked.
"I will be. I'm just sad I didn't kill her when I came to. I should have ripped her throat out, but instead, I thought of the Franklins and how happy getting a pup made them. I thought about how they struggled for years to get a pup. Then I thought about how you treated her like a sister, and I stayed silent. "I can't be near her at all, Theo," he mumbles, rubbing his neck.
"I got this, brother," I call Dad, and he comes over. We sit down and go through the footage, and he sighs after we watch them talk over and over.
"She's still gunning for Natalie," he says after a few minutes.
"Yes, and apparently, sex tapes exist. We need to end it, then, Dad, so Natalie can feel safe in Savage. "I want her gone from our lives.
"Fine, then we follow Sarah and record everything she does. I say we follow her to the location and see what Amber has hidden away. I say we make them believe we slacked on patrols so they can talk more. Sarah will be followed. I got our best tracker on it." I nod.
"I'm sorry I keep calling on you, Dad." His head shoots up. "I'm starting off as an alpha looking stupid," he sighs at my words.
"Son, you're doing great. Most new alphas would freak out and panic. You both took over with all this drama in the mix, and you're doing fantastic jobs. You got new pups and idiots after your mate, so call each damn time you need us. I'm one phone call or text away. I will always come through for you boys no matter what." I hug him, and he rubs my back, making me feel like a kid again. Dad was hands-on my whole childhood, which I am thankful for. He showed all of us what a good man and mate he was.
"Thanks, Dad." I hug him tight. He yanks James into our hug, and we stand there till Natalie talks.
"Can I get a hug?" Dad rubs her after easing away from us.
"Hi, sweetheart. How are you feeling? Is the pain bad? Are you bleeding heavier than normal?" she giggles as Dad cups her face and looks into her eyes.
"I'm good, Dad," she says softly. "Just a little sore, and everything else is normal. I really miss our babies." She looks ready to cry. Dad lifts her up and heads to the living room as we trail behind him.
"Honey, this happens with twins a lot. Just ask Emma. She delivered very early, and they had to stay in the hospital for months. You take this time to rest and get healthy yourself. I hired the best baby doctors in the state, so both will be good to come home when they are stronger. Till then eat, sleep, and rest." She nods, and he wipes her cheeks.
"Thanks, alpha. I appreciate it," he kisses her forehead.
"It is just Tyler or Dad now, sweetheart. I'm retired as alpha. Theo is alpha now. I'm going to head home. I got date night with Emma," he winks at me and James, and we just roll our eyes. Natalie giggles as he leaves, and I turn to stare at her.
"Feeling good, angel?" I was always asking her to check in. I want her to honestly tell us if she feels off.
"I'm sore but okay. Can I have some food? "I'm starving," she said, and I lifted her heading to the dining room. We cooked for her. "Eat all you want; James even made dessert," she squeals, and we chuckle.
"So tell me, did Sarah go see Amber in the cells?" she looked up after taking a bite.
"Yes, and Amber is still hell-bent on selling you. She wants Sarah to bust her out. She also wants Sarah to lure you out so she can talk to you. "I watch our girl sigh sadly.
"I just want peace, Theo. I want us not to have women falling all over their damn selves trying to get you two. "I want you both for myself, and I know that is greedy, but damn it, I just want my men and no outside people trying to mess it up," she huffed and ate some food.
"You're so fucking sexy when you are mad," I wink, and she blushes bright.
