"Lana I am going to take them" He says and I remain still as a statue too scared to move in case I attack them.
I could feel the blood cascading down my face and dripping on them. I swallow my throat making a gurgling noise as I try and suck in a breath through my lips instead of my nose, only to taste the metallic scent of my own blood in the air. Tate lunges at me grabbing the kids, just as I go to attack him. Drake shoving him out of the way and I tackle Drake to the floor. Tate moving and I see him place them back in their cot before spinning and I lunge at him, bloodlust taking over like never before and I sink my teeth into his neck only to be jerked away by Drake. Tate puts his hands up, his blood running down his chest where I bit him, my eyes following the trail as it runs off his body and onto the floor, uncontrollable hunger seizing every nerve ending in my body, my mouth watering at the smell of their intoxicating scents. Drake's arms holding mine behind my back while I thrash.
"Have you got any blood bags?" Drake says my head snaps to the side at the sound of his voice and a growl escapes my lips I didn't even recognise as my own, hearing footsteps rushing into the house before stopping. I see Elias and my father rush into the room before stilling at the door.
"Shit Lana" My father gasps, rushing over to me when I growl at him before trying to lunge at him and he jumps back.
"Elias go get blood bags" My father says and Tate comes over as I struggle against Drake wanting nothing more than to sink my teeth into one of them. I didn't care who I just wanted blood. Tate grabs my face, sitting on the floor next where Drake had me pinned against his chest. Drake lets my arms go and as soon as I am free I lunge at Tate wrapping my legs around him, my teeth going into his neck, his blood rushing into my mouth. His blood soothing the inferno in the back of my throat has my fangs slice through his flesh like a hot knife on butter.
"Lana" My father says and I feel someone tapping me, yet I can't pull away as I drink greedily from him.
"Lana!" Tate chokes out his panic hitting me when I am suddenly ripped away. My vision red, and everything heightened. Tate gasps clutching his neck.
"Get control Lana" My father screams at me and I realise Drake had been the one to jerk me away. I could feel my wounds healing, though the claw marks down my face were still running like a tap down my face making my bloodlust worse as I could smell my own blood.
Drake shifts and I hear one of the babies cry, my head snapping to them as I watch Titus sit up in his cot, his hands going through the bars as he reaches for me. I focus on him, focus on what Tate is feeling. I take a deep breath through my nose before blowing it out of my mouth. Drake's arms around my chest loosening slightly as I feel my blood lust start to leave as I focus on Tate feelings and the sight of my kids in the cot listening to the sounds of their cries.
"Get her out of here Drake, the smell of blood in here won't be helping her'' My father says to him. I feel him move but I let him pull me around knowing I can't afford to lose control, definitely not in this room where my kids are.
Drake POV
Her entire body was trembling as she fought her own desires to feed, to drain us. I pull her into the bathroom turning the shower on. Lana had claw marks going from her hair to her chin, deep gashes that were bleeding profusely.
Everything happened so quickly, we were at the eastern border, on our way back when we heard the crash. Tate took off running and I could hear through the mind link that a truck ploughed through the gates. It wasn't until we got there that we realised it was a diversion. Lana's panic hit us as rogues started coming from everywhere, our wolves running from their houses to join the fray as we tried to get back to the house.
Lana's pain drove us harder as we could feel her being attacked, feel our kids' distress. Something needed to be done, but how did they get past everyone? That's what I couldn't understand. It was like they were lying in wait, most of our wolves were on the eastern border leaving the southern and west border mostly unprotected. The trucks going through the main entrance causing the diversion. I was lost in my thoughts trying to piece everything together that I hadn't realised I was still standing with my grip tightly around her arm. Coming back to my senses I realise she was also lost in thought, worry eating at her.
"Lana"I say, her head whipping to the side looking at me.
I push her towards the shower and she steps in, "Drake?" I hear her fathers voice outside the bathroom door. I popped my head out and he was holding a towel. I take it from him.
"Elias has some blood bags he put them in the fridge downstairs, she will need to feed a bit. Tate said she hasn't drank blood in a few days already, this will make her ten times worse" He says and I nod.
"Any idea how they went unseen?" I ask him.
"Chase said the guards on duty on the southern border were just found with wolfsbane darts in them" I nod.
"Ryker is on his way" He says with a growl and he goes to turn away when I reach out the door grabbing his arm. Reid turns looking back at my hand on his arm, his eyes snapping to mine. I pull my hand back.
"I know you're pissed at Ryker for killing his mate and causing this, but he had his reason for killing her" I tell him.
"There is no good enough reason for killing your mate" Reid snaps back and I press my lips in a line biting my tongue knowing, nothing I say was going to make him hear his son out. He stalks off down the hall towards the stairs. I see Tate with the kids and he stops next to me. I am taking them to Aria for the night while we clean this up, they have better security there" I nod knowing my old pack was better prepared for attacks, the packhouse itself was armed for attacks and had a bunker beneath it. Though if we ever went to war with my old pack I knew Tate would win, his warriors were trained better but saying that I am not sure what's been going on for the last six months, also with Lana's bloodlust it is probably best she isn't around them right now.
"You right with Lana?" I nod and he walks off. Closing the door I turned around only to come nose to nose with Lana as she watched me. "He is taking them?" She says. Her words slurred around her fangs but she seemed in better control when I looked down. I found her completely naked her face still bleeding but I could tell it was healing extremely slowly.
"He is taking them to your mother" I tell her and she nods her eyes darting to my neck and my heart rate picks up when I watch her swallow, I could practically feel her mouth watering through the bond. She wanted to feed on me. I cup her face with my hand and she leans into it.
"Aria has the kids, I am going to help clean up, make sure Lana stays home" Tate's voice says through the bond.
"Yeah that's if she doesn't eat me first" I call back and I hear him chuckle.
"Let her then" He says and I feel my lips tug up slightly at his words before he cuts the link. My eyes refocused on her who was watching me.
"Tate?" She says.
"Yes he said stay inside he is helping clean up"mI tell her and she nods before turning away and getting back in the shower. The room filled with the smell of soap. She showers quickly before I hand her a towel and she gets out chucking some clothes on and I put some shorts on.
