I didn't care. I held out my hand and walked closer as Levi turned around to me. His silver eyes had a glint that looked similar to the crazed one he had in the tree, after he had snapped. I sucked in a sharp breath as tears started to tug their way forward. "Dad?" I said softly, hoping to reach him through our bond, reach my father. "Baby, please don't!" Ethan rushed out. He tried to run to me but Liam stopped him. Liam stopped him as I knelt down in front of Levi with my hand held out. Levi cocked his head as his chest rumbled. I blinked my eyes hard then opened them to stare back into the silver storm that were his eyes. He stepped towards me cautiously. Ethan growled and whined out as Liam and David pushed him back again before snapping as a warning to him, but Levi didn't care. He stepped again and eyed me some more. My beast reached out to him, frantically. I reached for the bond, our bond, and tugged at it; hugged it, held it, caressed it, while my beast pressed slightly closer. "Levi, please, please don't do this. I can't lose another father, I can't lose you," I softly murmured out in a rush of desperation. It was then that he started to whine. He whined low to me as his eyes turned sad, the heartbreak was setting in again as the realization of the situation hit him. I sucked in a breath and nodded a little. "It's ok." He whined again sadly as he walked closer to me. I let out another breath as his nose touched my hand. He licked it a bit then rubbed his cheek against my palm, spreading the crippling sadness in his heart throughout me. I let out a shaky breath as the tears beat hard at the back of my eyes to be let loose. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I whispered to him. He dropped his head in my lap before he whined some more. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head against his fur while the tears came. I sniffled into his fur as he sunk down onto the ground; the burden was too much for him, it was too much for anyone to carry. His fur started to ripple and bones started to crack. Soon the familiar scent of his skin surrounded me along with the sounds of his heavy breathing. I unwrapped my arms from around his neck and look into his eyes. He was fighting with himself; with the sadness and the anger, a war with no real winner. "Levi?" He pulled me closer to him, into his chest. He was shaking, cracking, breaking. I sighed and looked over at Ethan who was still pacing and smiled reassuringly. "Go get some clothes and bring him some," I said gently. David nodded then trotted off with Liam while Lander laid down close to us and started to whine. "I'm fine Lander," Levi breathed out. He was rocking with me, still pushing back the demons. I sighed as he nuzzled my hair a little. Ethan sighed and walked cautiously over to us, over to his uncle who he had seen break before. He nudged Levi's shoulder with his nose carefully, a gentle olive branch. Levi sighed and gave Ethan a small nod. Ethan walked forward a hair more so Levi could rub his head gently then his neck. Ethan sighed and laid down near my feet while Levi calmed down some more. I looked up at him and it seemed like his eyes had settled, the madness was gone, for now. "That was pretty stupid Charlie girl," Levi breathed out. I smiled and nodded. "I know." He kissed my forehead before tugging at his own hair. "Thank you." He looked over at Lander and gave him a limp smile before looking back at Ethan. "Go to Ethan before he loses it too. Pretty sure you just gave him four heart attacks." I smiled softly and kissed his cheek before crawling out of his lap. Ethan immediately jumped up and nuzzled my neck then licked my cheek repetitively. I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine, I'm fine–" He let out an annoyed growl before he nudged me gently to follow him. We walked over to Liam who held out some sweatpants to me as he shook his head in disbelief. "Char that was both really awesome and really stupid." "I know," I sighed out as I took the pants. Ethan and I walked behind a set of trees and bushes where I unfolded the sweatpants as his bones started to crack again. Fur melted to skin and soon I was bring crushed into his chest. He let out a shaky breath and held me close to him, placing kisses all over my face before pushing me back to his chest. "Do not ever scare me like that again." "He wasn't going to hurt me, Ethan." "You don't know that sunshine, he was close to losing it." I sighed and looked up at him. "I was close to losing it. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if something happened to you." "I'm fine, I'm right here," I said as I rubbed his arms. Ethan dipped down and kissed me tenderly before he rested his forehead on mine. "Come on, let's get back so we can get to work." Ethan sighed and started to pull the sweatpants on. "I'm going to be doing a lot of work on you later," he muttered under his breath. "Is that a threat babe?" I raised my brow a little. "No sunshine," he breathed out before he stepped closer to me. "That is a promise," he added as he linked his hand in mine and tugged me forward. My cheeks felt warm as the bond started to twirl in delight. We walked over towards the group who was slowly making their way back to the house with Levi in the middle of them. "I'm going to sit with him when we get inside," I stated softly as we walked through the door. "Probably a good idea," Ethan replied. His face dropped at the sight of his sister. She had her head buried in Levi's chest, soaking it with hot tears while Levi whispered soothing things to her. "Evangeline," Ethan gently called. She sniffled then turned and ran back to Ethan. She let out a sharp sob while Ethan rubbed her back. "It's ok red, it's going to be ok," he whispered to her. Levi slumped back in the couch while David went to the kitchen. I walked over as Levi patted the spot next to him with a sad smile. "Come here girly." I nodded and sat down next to him and let him pull me close to him. He sighed then let out a long hot breath. "I'm sorry you had to see all of that girl."
