"Em?"
"Andrew!!"
"I will figure it out. Yes, we will take her."
Four hours later, we were on the small luxury plane headed for Paris.
Matra was in the guest room showering and dressing in the new clothes I demanded they get for her. I also had Ben grab a silver chain and locket from the store. While she was in the shower, I pulled out 12 silver stands of my hair and braided them together. Then, put them in the locket. When Marta came out of the room, she looked beautiful. I had given her money to get herself settled when I gave her the clothes, purse, and shoes.
She had no idea how much was in the purse she would find out when she got home.
"Come sit with me, Marta?" I asked. She came over and took the seat beside me. Ben went to get her some food.
"Marta, I have this for you, so you will always have a part of me with you." I showed her the braided hair and put it in the locket, then put the locket on her.
"You know I will never forget you, even without the locket. But thank you. You and Dawn are beautiful, and I wish you all the best from here forward." I wiped the tears from my eyes and kissed her cheek.
When the plane landed, it taxied up to a set of stairs where there were a bunch of people waiting. I kissed her goodbye just before she went out the door and down the stairs to the waiting arms of her family. The doors were closed, and we taxied over to refuel so we could go home. I sat watching out the window as everyone was so happy to have Marta back. The piolet said we would be taking off in five minutes. I looked one last time, then closed the drape and went and sat beside Ben.
"Can I ask you why, Emma?" Ben asked.
"Because, my love, everyone deserves the right to go home again."
He took my hand and squeezed it as we took off for home.
SIR HENRY'S POV
A week later, I went back to talk to Thorn. I wanted answers. When I pulled up to the house, it was very quiet. I got out, walked around, and then went inside. The smell made me vomit. Everywhere were piles of dead corpses. I ran to my car and drove away as fast as I could. Now, what was I to do. I would think of something. Emma had more to pay for now. I just had to do some research and find out who else wanted the silver wolf gone.
CHERITY'S POV
Emma was asleep. I got up and took a shower, then talked to Sampson for a bit he was so happy his mate had come back. I told him after the baby was old enough I wanted to take Emma to a resort where she could relax. None of us could find this Sir Heney guy. That played on my mind. But soon I fell asleep. I had no idea what time it was when I heard a loud explosion, and then another. Emma was getting out of bed as I ran down the hall to see the house was on fire. I linked the children to use the fire routes from their windows. Shift and jump if you have to. I turned back to go for Emma when there was another explosion that blocked my path.
"EMMA, EMMA,"I screamed. Orson and Alaska were beside me.
"I told you to get out!" I yelled at them.
"You need our help to get mom," Orson yelled back. Alaska had disappeared; then was back with a wet blanket his clothes were soaked. Do what I did, Dad and Orson, then run your ass through the fire. Before I could stop him, he ran right into the fire, blocking our path.
"ALASKA, ALASKA!" I yelled. He linked me.
"I'm ok. A few burns mom is unconscious from the smoke. I'm dragging her to the window you and Orson get down there to catch her."
"You're going to throw your mother out the window."
"Go, dad, hurry the fire is in the room. I can't shift and jump with her. You have to catch her.
Orson and I grabbed blankets and went out and down the balcony a crowd was gathering. Maz was taking count of everyone. We put the blankets together to make it thicker. Everyone started grabbing the blankets to hold them firm. I could see the fire getting closer to Alaska, we heard screaming. Then I saw Alaska drop his mother’s body over the edge of the balcony. Thank the Goddess the blankets worked, and she was rushed to the pack hospital.
"ALASKA JUMP!!" I yelled, but there was no answer, no sound. Orson shifted and took a running jump up to the balcony but missed.
Bella and Eden ran over. Pushing us out of the way. They held hands and closed their eyes and spoke in the ancient language. I saw it just in time as Alaska threw himself off the balcony Orson, and I caught him and fell to the ground. They rushed him to the pack hospital. I looked at my two youngest.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"We made him jump off the balcony with his subconscious mind." Bella said.
"You saved your brothers life." I said as I hugged them both. Maz came over and told me everyone was out. I sent all the children to the pack hospital, and then I sat and watched our entire life burn to the ground. It burned until noon the next day. I just sat there. Everyone tried to get me to go to the hospital. But I just sat there and watched it burn.
"How?"
"Why?"
Maz came and sat beside me.
"Emma and the baby will be ok. Emma took in a lot of smoke. They have her on oxygen to help clear her lungs she has a few burns, but Dawn is healing them. Alaska and Orson are being treated for burns and smoke inhalation. I finally made my way down to the hospital they wanted to treat my burns, and I refused. Maz showed me where Emma was, and I went and sat by her bed. I took her hand in mine and watched as she slept. Sampson talked to Dawn. Dawn reassured him Emma was ok. She was just asleep now. They still had her on oxygen as a precaution.
"I'm sorry, my love, everything is gone. I don't know what happened." I put my head on her bed and cried. Maz came in to check on Emma and me.
"Go get your burns looked at, Ben. Don't you dare tell me no either I will sit with her until you get back." Maz told me. Reluctantly, I got up and went to get my burns checked. Then I checked on the boys. They were in good spirts even though Alaska had half his body burnt. Eden and Bella were at his bedside.
