Hunter and Tina continuing their flight from Canada to Utah as Tina spoke Air Traffic Control this is Full Moon Beauty 117 9ner requesting land vectors do you copy…. We Copy you Full Moon Beauty winds are in heavy crosswinds but should be no problem to land….

Thank you, ATC please advise runway…. Runway 717 northwest do you see copy…. over and out… Hunter said we are almost home my dear…. As Tina looked back at her deceased grandfather and said yes, we are but I don’t know if I can do this Hunter… I mean I helped him bury my grandmother and had to hide my pain and grief and now I don’t know if I will have the strength to bury him…. Hunter held her hand I have all the faith in the world ten times over my dear…you would say that as your mate as she jerkily landed the plane as she hanged her head and fully cried totally having a full mental breakdown…

Hunter spoke stay inside dear calm your self and I will call mom and dad ok… as Tina sniffled ok my love just be careful for I cannot lose you too and you will not my love as Hunter left the plane and headed for the phone….

Back at wolves haven, the phone in Dawn’s home rang sporadically…. Umm hello…. Mom, it’s me…. Hunter…where are you we are home… at the airstrip… tell dad and a few others to come quick please…what is going on we all heard about a shootout in Canada are you and Tina ok…we are fine but her.... you found him…. Yes, but we also lost him…how he was the one that was shot, mom… as Jake spoke is that Hunter… yes, my love can you get Max, Kieba, and Jack to go with you and take the van… sure dear what is going on…? It is concerning Tina’s grandpa, he didn’t make it the shootout the one that was injured… he was the one as Jake said to tell Hunter to get back to the plane… Dear did you hear your dad… yes, mom, I did…

Francine and Danielle shouted was that our brother…yes, my dears is he…he ok Danielle spoke as the fear of their goddess came across Francine’s face… he is ok, Tina on the other hand…. Noooo it can’t be…... no Tina is fine…. Then what…. she lost her grandfather…. oh my… as sadness came across them both… why are you two sad dears….

Tina’s family mom we feel her pain do you feel it too…that I do my dear daughters but we have to remain strong for her now as Dawn took care of her mature daughters as Jake walked out of the house to meet with Kieba, Max, and Jack…

Guys we need to take the loading van and meet up with Hunter… why did he bring back a lot of souvenirs… quite the opposite my dear family Tina’s grandfather died mid-flight home…wait you mean…yes, the shootout the injured person… oh do I feel so shitty now Jack spoke alongside his brother Kieba…how is Tina taking it… not well but I worry about Hunter for he never had to deal with death before… Hunter is Tough, old man you will see…

Francine walked around town as the finishing touches almost complete when she met up with Zach… Hey, Zach, have you seen your brother…. I thought he may have been here already…what is going on between you two… I think I may have hurt his feelings Fran said last couple of days we received some bad news and I worried about my brother and his wife…I can understand that Zach spoke you care for family…

So I Have seen you and him bicker about that I have seen things but kept out of it… ok…ok I made a few mistakes me and friends got drunk and stole a few cars… so your brother Sam took it upon himself to keep you out of trouble… he always seems to clean up after my messes… that’s what big brothers do Zach…even though I deserve to be sitting in jail for the moment… for what joyriding…yeah…well, teenagers do stupid things or else how do we learn right….finally someone gets me…

Well, I think I may have blown my chances with him Zach I need to apologize for my own actions… I was upset the other day… he cares for you… you know this right… he does… Francine, you are all he talks about so find him and open up to him he feels kinda bad for intruding on you and he feels like he did something wrong…

Back at the airstrip Hunter and Tina met with Jake, Jack, Kieba, and Max…. Tina are you…. He’s GONE…. I failed him as a granddaughter… no, you didn’t dear…he died trying to save us so we can return home… I know let it out dear Jake spoke…I am alone now… no, you’re not… don’t you see Tina you are my daughter in law now and I promise you….

You are not alone anymore when Tina held Jake tightly from the day you and Hunter confessed your love to each other and mated with him was the day I gained another daughter that night and I can never be prouder than to call you Daughter… thank you, father, as Tina cried deeply as Max and Jack carried her late grandfather limp form and ceremoniously loaded him in the back of the van….

I promise you dear he will be at peace knowing that you are loved…tell us who was it dear… N.E.S.T…. how we thought we got them all scattered… I…I think they are now global father they knew where my grandpa was and knew when was the best time to strike and now he is dead because of me…

No, he is not dear he died saving you and I have the feeling in my heart that he knew your future will be brighter now…did you show him…yes father we did… and…and he accepted what I became…when Hunter came to her as he kneeled down Tina I know you already said this once but I want you so much will you honor me as my wife in front of his father and uncles and Alpha while Tina cried yes Hunter my love as she hugged him for the life of her while they all packed up and started the journey home as Tina held onto Hunter and said no more kneeling now while Hunter spoke I made it official now in front of your family and mine my dear wife that is all that matters to me….

Francine on the other hand used a taxi after getting Zach and Sam’s Address as she paid the fare and walked up to the house as she knocked on the door when a woman opened up May I help you…Um yes, I am looking for Sam Jenkins are you Mrs. Jenkins… why yes dear but I don’t recall knowing you…oh I am so sorry my name is Francine Peters I live…oh wait I know over there at the animal preserve that is being rebuilt I am so sorry to hear what happened is everyone ok... we are good…your son has been a godsend even the one who been in trouble with the law… even Zach….well Sam had not showed up today… and I was worried… when Sam said who is it mom… a Francine Peters… oh as he said tell her I am not home… Sam what is going on…I tried to see what she was dealing with and she told me to go away mom so I said I’ll do what she requested…Sam please can we talk if you care for me like your brother says you do please let me explain…

Sam Michael Jenkins, she traveled all this way didn’t I teach you any manners…ok mom fine… as Francine waited on the porch…. When Sam came back…can we take a walk… are you going to promise me you won’t toss me like a rag doll…

About that look Sam I am so sorry I didn’t mean to… a lot of raw emotions were shooting off my head and I…I… ugh Francine what is wrong… I wanted to come by and thank you… for what…we heard from my brother and his wife… they are fine and I wanted to thank you for trying to do what you felt was right in your heart I should have listened to you… it did not hurt me physically but on the emotional level Francine…

Is your brother right about everything you do care about me…the only thing he ever gets right in our lives I guess where is he anyway… over at my home working… really… yeah I saw him but not you and I was scared I did something… you asked me to give you space… so I wanted to respect that… thank you… so what is going on with you I weigh about a buck ninety pounds and you lifted me like a feather… your aunt said you are special… aren’t all children…

Sam there are some aspects of my life I am trying to still figure out… my own place in this little world of ours and I am truly sorry if I hurt you… Francine Sam blurted out I LOVE YOU…wait what…. I love you the first time I saw you at the ice cream parlor two months back but I kept my distance… then finding out you live only blocks away from us in Wolves Haven and found out you and your family are in wildlife preserves projects made me fall in love with you more and…

And what Sam… the day you were upset I knew I had to say something to try and be positive because I never wanted to see you sadden when Francine let her instinct to take over to shut him up as Sam and Fran’s lips touched and melted into nothingness when Sam said Francine is this a dream…

No Sam I been waiting to do this too you been on my mind day in and day out I been giving hints but I can't do it anymore for deep down I love you too but to fully understand me all I ask is for some time and trust in me as in my head I feel like an animal caged and I hope you and I can allow our love to grow…

Listen Francine… please love you may call me Fran… Fran love listen to me all I want for us is to be happy and in love if you got things you don’t think I can understand at this moment…but I don’t want to make you feel like I ever lie to you…

I will understand as he kissed her lips once again while Fran slipped her tongue playing with his when they broke from the kiss Fran spoke in time I will let you in fully… when Fran said well Sam I better get ready to go home… so soon… yeah, I need to see my brother and see if he is ok… you are very close to him I can tell… Hunter may be my baby brother and yes he has a wife but he is not superman you know… ok I understand Fran my love here… as he slipped her a piece of paper I waited for a day like this as he said open it in the cab as he opened the door for her and kissed her goodbye and said I will see you tomorrow ok Fran said night Sam sleep tight…

Fran looked at the letter as she placed her hand over her mouth…

Dear Francine,

I don’t know what is going on with you but I wanted to tell you this for the longest time I love you no matter what every single day I wake I see your beautiful face every night I sleep I imagine you here with me embracing me I hope you feel the same way too because I find you intriguing like a book I am midway through and can't wait to find out what happens at the end… but if you feel like you need to keep your secrets then do so and let me in gradually I will understand and trust in you

Love

Sam

P.S. here is my number anytime you feel like to talk call me…

When Fran came home and paid the fare again…. MOM, DAD YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED… when she said Hunter you… you are home… what... what is going on why is everyone gathered… Sister I am glad you are home where is Tina as she turned around the corner to see her sister in law crying over a well-covered body…

Tina you... are you ok… Fra... I lost him… my grandpa… as Francine hugged her tightly hush dear everything will be ok as Fran caressed her tightly…. If it was not for Hunter and our father I would have been lost too… what why would you say that… because dear I believe I was to blame… you are not sister you are the best thing that has happened to my brother you made him a better man and I thank you…

Who did this… N.E.S.T. Fran… they…they shot him in cold blood to kill us at the airport but I thought we got rid of them… hunter spoke they seem to be like a bloody hydra cut one head off two more takes their place as this enrages Francine can't these fuckers just leave us the fuck alone… Tina said I wish they would too dear by my Pa paid the ultimate price as Fran and Danielle spoke and your new family will not let his death go unnoticed while the rest of their pack also agreed to calm Tina down showing her the love around the room…

Francine said my news can wait as Jake said Daughter where was you… I went to see Sam…. You mean the Jenkins boy isn’t he trouble… no dad his younger brother Zach but I talked to him and see that he is trying to make amends but his older brother Sam… He…. He admitted to me…me that he loves me… and deep down I don’t know how to express it but I love him too and He KISSED ME and I let him as she felt like cloud nine when Dawn spoke he may be your one dear… what how… trust me when I say when your wolf pulls you one way just go with the flow of it…

Everyone continued to address Fran Happiness and keep Tina strong for days to come as the sunlight died down in the quiet town of Wolves Haven as Roxy, Luna, Kieba and the pack gathered together and said what we do Luna when Trevor asked in question…we take our fight to them but first, we must bury a friend of the family as Jack spoke more than a friend dear he is Extended family as the animals in the woods rustled in the night filled forest breaking the peace…
