"She was a hunter he didn't just kill her, he killed her family they were pretty high up with the hunters"

"So this is revenge?"

"Yes it had been going on back on your mother and father's territory for months, Ryker tried to hide it from them. After everything with Avery it was all out in the open. Your mother was pissed off because your father knew all along and that is why your father and Ryker have been clashing. They thought moving here would stop it, but turns out they seem to think your parents had something to do with it, hunters attacked and Ryker tore one up one of their men and dropped him in their directors driveway and admitted it was him before killing the man's son. He was going to kill all of them when he was shot and had to flee"

"So my brother started this?" I nod.

"I just don't get why he killed his mate. It makes no sense even if she was a hunter" she says and I agree when Drake speaks.

"She was going to poison the water supply with wolfsbane" I turned to look at him.

"What?"

"That's why he killed her; she used him to get to his pack," Drake says, making me wonder if his father knew this information. He told me his son just didn't want a mate, saw them as weakness and killed her. Aria was livid and so was he when he found out.

"Wait how do you know that?" Lana asks him.

"He told me yesterday," Drake tells us.

Chapter57

Lana POV

“I don’t want you near the borders Lana, you are to stay here or in town but never go back out there till we know what we are dealing with” We had been having the same argument all day. I feel obligated to help, my brother was the one that caused it after all. I roll my eyes at him as I place the babies in their highchair for their dinner.

“Lana are you listening to me?” Tate asks.

“Yes I will stay away from the border okay geez” I tell him, grabbing their mulee and sitting down.

Drake comes over wanting to help feed them and I hand him a bowl and he drags another chair over sitting beside me.

Tate eats his dinner in record speed before dropping his plate in the sink and rushing upstairs.

“You’re not going tonight, let Elias handle it, you have barely slept Tate, you're dead on your feet” I say getting up and handing the bowl in my hand to Drake and following after him. I raced upstairs, he was no good to anyone in this state, he would be putting others at risk and himself.

“Lana you know I can’t do that I have to go, I am meeting Chase and your father”

“You can ring them and tell them you're sending Elias or someone else” I argue back but he ignores me instead stripping off and chucking on some loose fitting shorts.

“Tate please?” I begged him knowing he was too tired I could feel his exhaustion seeping into me.

“She is right Tate, I can go stay home with Lana and the kids” Drake says coming into the room obviously eavesdropping on us arguing.

“You don’t even know what's going on out there. I can’t send you” Tate says stepping past him. I follow him downstairs. He ignores me instead giving the kids a kiss before walking over to me and Drake.

“I won't be long”

“You say that but then don't return till morning” I mutter as he pecks my forehead. Drake grabs his arm.

“Let me go” He tells him.

“I haven't got time for this” He says before shocking not only me but Drake as he kisses the side of his mouth before walking out the door leaving both of us stunned.

“I wonder if he just realised what he did?” Drake says.

“He is exhausted and you are his mate” I tell Drake not seeing the big deal with it.

“Yeah but I thought he was pissed off at me”
