Damon and Dahlia are her main priority. Nothing could trump them for her. Not even her own fears.
If keeping her children safe meant meeting her insecurities and fears again, then so be it. She will do anything just to give her children the life they
“I will arrange your travel as soon as possible. Declan stated, Lauren just nodded and had no other choice but to follow when he led her to the couch where Dahlia slept.
She looked at her daughter, sleeping soundlessly beside her, and she couldn’t help the tears that were forming on her lids once again.
She was so close to losing them.
Tears fell down from her eyes once more as she caresses Dahlia’s cheek. Her daughter coiled instinctively from her touch, and her heart went out
to her.
They are the most precious people in Lauren’s life.
After everything she’s been through, losing her children would be the end of her. They were her reason for living. They were her reason for everything she’s been doing for five years now. If they hadn’t come. Lauren would have allowed herself to wallow in her sorrows. She wouldn’t be where she was now.
h’s all thanks to her wins. They saved her.
Declan just watched Lauren who was deeply unaware of his stares Declan wanted to keep his hands on her, his fear of losing her again made dread crawl on his muscles and veins. But he held himself
If he had just continued being firm with his decision, this would have never happened. He should have insisted on talking to her earlier after the Family Day event. He should have insisted on letting everyone know she was her mate. He should have insisted on his first decision to get them immediately back to Black Ridges Pack before the Vampires found their land.
He knew it was futile now, but he couldn’t help getting frustrated.
Them being branded as his would have given them extra security. Extra care: Lauren didn’t even want the parents in the Family Day to know they were a real couple. She was making it seem like he just volunteered to be there.

And he should have since day one. He should have brought them home to safety immediately.
“Til be right back,” he announced, his deep voice echoing around the empty hallway, but it would seem like Lauren didn’t even hear him. Still, be went out and met his guards to start the preparation of travelling for the three of them. He also commanded Claire to inspect Damon once again before they went. He wanted all them to be prepared.
Lauren card his footsteps fade away.

It didn’t take long for the news to get to Jasper. He immediately went to the infirmary, but instead of seeing Lauren, he saw Declan, surrounded by his guards
“Alplu Derian,” he called for his attention. The latter saw him and immediately dismissed his guards.

Jasper shut his mouth.
Silence fell between them for a while. Until Jasper found his voice
“Ive kept them safe in my pack for years. I have made sure they were comfortabile as they started their lives in my domain. This park has been able tove them that life for years.”
He suddenly felt like he wanted to defend himself and his pack against his scrutiny. He didn’t like how untrustworthy the latter suddenly felt of Rocky Mountains Park that had barely been attacked earlier.

“And it was my guards that pursued and captured them. Alpha Jasper Declan took a step towards him.
They almost have the same height but his more dominating presence was undeniable, Jasper’s Alpha wolf even stirred a bit at their proximity.
“This isn’t about you or the things you’ve done. Not even your pack. This is for the safety of my family. I will do whatever I can to keep them out of harm’s way, even if it means taking them out of the pack they already treated as a home.”

Fighting the urge to really as
“Yes, she did.” Slight shock covered his face, but jasper quickly made his face unreadable
He just didn’t expect Lauren, who hated this man for years, would agree to go to his pack again. He still couldn’t get past the way she screamed at him after that meeting they had in the packhouse
After koowing what he did to her, he doubted Lauren would ever let him get his way with them. Yet
This is for the safety of the kids.” he murmured, realizing Lauren’s reason. He also knew it in his heart that this was for the best. But he couldn’t help feeling like something would be lost in him once they go.
Lauren and the twins have become very special to him. Especially Lauren. And he felt like Declan him.

“Id like

Jasper admitted once to Lauren that he’d come to admire his strength and leadership, but that was just it. He still had some opinions regarding the man after knowing he abandoned Lauren while pregnani,
“Thank you for taking c care of my family when I couldn’t.” Declan said, knowing how much he’s done for Lauren and the kids.
Jasper’s connection to them was intensified on him during the activity carlich Where every parent thought Lauren was bringing Jasper. He could even tell that some thought Jasper was the twins” father. How that happened, he didn’t want to think about.
He could only clench has fist at the thought of how tightly–knit he was to his family, and how Lauren allowed everyone to assume things with them when she could barely admit he was with her before and that he was the twins‘ father.
