“I let you in, whatever baggage from the past gets left at this fucking gate, you don’t bring your problems with you, we have started over I won’t have you bring us back down. So you need to choose because I can tell you right now Lana won’t put up with your shit not no more, not now that we have kids”

“There mine too Tate” I tell him.

“Really? because where the fuck were you when they born? Where were you when Lana tried to kill herself, they don’t know you and I sure as hell won't allow you to come and go as you please, or when you feel like being a dad” He says. Guilt smashing into me violently.

“I don’t want to disturb anything, I just want to see them”

“Well that’s up to Lana” Tate says before walking off. I wait wondering if I should follow him, wondering if I was allowed to.

“Leave your problems at the gate Drake or don’t come with me” He calls over his shoulder. I let out a breath before following him, Titus in my head wagging his tail, he wanted to come home for a while. But now I was wondering if I was too late.

Chapter54

Lana POV

I had just finished hanging out the washing, Arial was talking away to me about drama’s they were having at the Red River Pack. My mother and Father were playing with Ashley and Titus on a mat that was laid out on the grass in the shade of the tree out the back. They were crawling and sitting up now and could say a few words. Grabbing my washing basket Arial and I head inside. I stopped next to my mother looking down at her where she was sitting on the mat as she ran her fingers through my daughter's dark curls.

“Coffee?” I ask her and she nods before I look toward my Father. “Yes not so much sugar this time” My father says and I smile before nodding my head.

“Tate and I are thinking of adopting, I can’t go through with another miscarriage” Arial tells me. As we walk through the back door and into the laundry. For some reason Arial has fallen pregnant three times, not one pregnancy has made it past six weeks and it was causing problems between them because Chase wanted an heir to take over the pack.

“Maybe go see the pack doctor, and have more tests done” I tell her and she shakes her head.

“They never find anything, I am worried Chase will leave me if I can’t give him children, I know he has given up with the idea, he was the one that suggested we should adopt” She says helping me load the washing machine again.

“He won’t leave you, What’s it like having mum and Dad living with you?” I ask.

“It’s fine, Dad and Chase clash sometimes, but that’s just Alpha issues. Though Tyson keeps pranking Chase and I know he is going to lose it soon and give him the spanking mum never gives them” Arial says.

My sister looks tired and I know since taking over the Pack with Chase they have been having issues.

“At least things have been good with you and Tate, you seem closer than ever. I am happy for you sis, things are turning out great for you” She says leaning her head on my shoulder while I pour the washing powder in.

“They will get better for you soon, you just need to be patient. Speaking of Tate I wonder where he went?”

“He was out the back with Dad earlier” Arial says popping her head out the back door and looking for him. “Must have been called away” Arial says and I nod knowing he wouldn’t have gone too far without telling me. I hear movement outside so I pop my head out to see my mother and father bringing my son and daughter inside.

“You need a hand?”

“No of course not, we still remember what we are doing. We aren't that old” My father says and I roll my eyes, turning back around to go start making coffee. Walking down the hall toward the kitchen the front door opens, Tate steps inside and I could feel he was a little nervous. I stop staring at him.

“What’s wrong, is everything okay?” I ask when he steps aside and Drake walks in. His hair was longer and he needed to shave desperately, he looked rough and had lost a fair amount of weight but was still big and muscular but not his usual size. I stare frozen and in shock.

“Lana where did you go?” I hear Arial ask before she walks into my back before freezing as well when she laid eyes on him.

I could hear my mother and father talking as they walked inside and I pulled myself together snapping out of my daze. Drake stood there awkwardly like he wanted to do a runner.

“Well look at what the cat dragged in” My mother says walking past me and into the kitchen, I notice Drake's eyes go to our daughter in her arms.

“Mum , dad can you take the kids upstairs please” I tell them and they both rush upstairs. Drake steps forward and Tate grabs his arm pulling him back.

“I’m going to head home, let you deal with whatever this is” Arial whispers and I nod before she takes off out the back door.

“You look like shit” I tell him walking into the kitchen, I turn the kettle on before turning around to see him run his hand through his now shoulder length hair.

“Are you going to speak or did you become mute?” I ask him when he continues to stare. Tate stands near the entry to the dining room watching us but says nothing.

“Little warning would have been nice” I mindlink Tate.
