Anya and Oscar left without hesitation, but Liam didn't move a muscle. His eyebrows furrowed as he realized what would have to be done. Liam remained silent as he gazed at his torn mate. He could barely remember what had brought them together, but he recalled the mutual hatred for Oscar and rogue wolves come to mind. Then again, it wasn't what brought them together. A unity of peace and the desire for the other.
"No matter what i've done, they are still my children," Liam spoke calmly, but his voice was filled with stern, "They deserve to know their father no matter how much you don't want me near them. If you no longer wish to be my mate, then I will not fight and allow you to leave. Even then, I will see my children."
Anya pressed her ear against the door, a little annoyed at Liam's resistance. He was so adamant on leaving before so why put up a fight now? She relayed the message to Oscar who lit another cigarette, "You'll get sick if you keep smoking like that."
"Dead lungs," Oscar shrugged, "It could be worse."
"He basically said she could just walk away," Anya mentioned as she walked away, "Do you think she will?"
"Emma is her own woman," Oscar followed, "Would you leave Conrad if he told you that you could?"
"No," Anya recalled the moment the doppleganger had told her she could when she believed him to be Conrad, "It's different."
Anya wanted to be near Conrad. She quickened her pace and followed Conrad's scent until she found him in the room Emma had originally been in. He was still upset about the whole ordeal as he should be. She walked up to him, a soft smile on her pale features as she placed his hand on her hardened skin, "Can you feel your son already? I can."

Even as Emma cried and held by her pack mates, Liam followed her into the room to see the twins. Though they clawed at him, he picked them up, saying he'd be outside the room to Emma, and held them in his arms. She could not just keep taking them away from him and then blame him for not being near them. Scarlette and Sebastian growled and continued to bite and scratch him, but Liam endured it. He'd teach his children that no matter what he wanted to do, he was still their only father. They had no other person they could call their Dad.
"I know you're in pain, Conrad," Anya made him look down at her, "There are other suitors here that are different from Liam and are full-blooded vampires. After her heart has healed, she can always find someone she truly loves."
Anya wanted to go see Emma, but it wasn't the right time. Besides, she was happy that she was caring Conrad's son within her. A son was always a blessing to a mother. Anya placed her hand on top of her growing womb with pride. She would make sure her son wouldn't abandon his future wife. Then again, she'd pick out the best of the best of women to marry only her son.
She made herself focus on the here and now as she turned to Conrad, "Perhaps you should go hunting and feed. I could have Oscar bring back a feast if you'd like for the entire court to join us for our return?"

It was a feast, alright, but a solemn one at best. Anya noticed Conrad not saying a word. She was upset about Emma's situation as well, but he took it straight to his dead heart. However, she knew better to say anything. His own guilt was his own and only his to bear. She hardly wanted to eat, but the growing son within her needed to eat more than she did.
"Here, have mine," Troy passed his serving to Anya.
She wasn't too pleased with him either. After the feast, she dragged him down the caverns where she had met with the other group from before. Anya dug her claws into his frozen flesh as she growled, "How could you do that to Oscar? How could you turn him into your kind?"
"It's lonely being the only divine one around here," Troy shrugged, "It's not as fun to drink from another vampire when you're the only one."
"You turned him into a monster!" Anya shouted, her voice echoing into the dark, watery cavern. She turned her voice to a little above a whisper, "I could have you killed for such a disgusting act."
"There's no need for that," Troy commented, his cold, blue eyes relaxed as he pulled his arm from her grasp, "I gave him a gift no one should refuse."
"Then i'm telling you to not give that gift to anyone else," Anya crossed her arms tightly.
Liam took the twins to the gym part of the castle where the remaining portion of his pack remained. They were too scared to leave the confines without their alpha and were threatened in staying within the vampires domain. Liam continued to hold the scratching twins in his arms that were causing him to bleed now from how much they were fighting him.
"Alpha..." one of the newer pack-mates, Matthew, walked up to Liam, "Maybe just giving them back.."
He gave Matthew a cold look before shaking his head, "My ex-mate has it mistaken. I didn't want the twins back to make them believe what I believe. That's not what a parent does. All I want to do is simply guide them to wherever they wish to end at. She will tell them to hate me, to not see me, or to completely ignore me, but that is her own domain. I will not tell her to do anything she won't already do."
"I'm so sorry..." Matthew looked at the ground, "I know it had to have been hard... Maybe now you'll find someone who..you know..actually wants to be with you."
"Eventually, but my heart will heal when it wants to," Liam shrugged as he sat down on a bench.

"I have watched you from far off," Crystal spoke softly as Emma landed hard on the rocks beneath her fall, "It seems pain is your calling to those you want to follow you."
With a simple touch of her hand, the wound was healed and Emma had fully awakened. Crystal took a step back as she held her hands behind her back, "Why is that? You are new to your kind and I am unfamiliar with your type of habits and nature."
"What?" Oscar raised a brow, "Why would Liam kill her? I hate the man, but I highly doubt he'd actually kill her."
He could see the worry in Marcus' eyes. Stupid mutt. Then again, it wasn't his fault that he was born into a disgusting dog. Oscar took a drag of his cigarette before shrugging, "I'll go look for her if that's what you want. This whole running away thing didn't work before, but this is turning into a mandatory manhunt anymore."
Oscar strolled outside. It was an hour before dawn, but he figured this is what Emma wanted. She wanted to be on the brink of death in order to find herself once again. She was able to walk in the sunlight before, maybe she had forgotten that instance. Instead, he kept walking and following her scent until he came across her and the witch from before discussing whatever they were talking about.
"Well isn't this an unlucky surprise," Oscar spoke dryly towards the witch, "Scamper off before I drink you."
"Very well, vampire," Crystal nodded towards him and walked deeper into the woods.
Oscar then turned his gaze to Emma, "Trying to kill yourself already."

Oscar remained silent as he followed Emma without saying a word. Once back at the castle, Oscar saw more mutts than he actually remembered. They were scented with Liam... He could've gotten sick at just the stench of their kind walking around so openly.
"King Oscar," one of his men approached him, "There have been many requests about returning to your other castle in this domain due to the recent...infestation."
"Very well," Oscar nodded, "Gather the others and head out there. I'll make my way tomorrow evening. Be swift, the sun will be rising soon."
He made his way down to the gym area to see the rest of the mutts forming a half circle around the main mutt with the two twins. Oscar glanced around, unfazed by their glares, "Oh how the mighty have fallen."
"Come to gloat?" Liam growled.
"No, just simply looking at what we all suspected," Oscar shrugged as he kicked a small medicine ball, "Don't corrupt their heads."

"You do know that, right Alpha?" Matthew timidly spoke as one of his sisters began to cut at his long hair to make it less long.
"The only proof I can give are the twins," Liam waved off a drink offered to him, a time like now would be best sober instead of drunk, "My aims were to kill Anya and Oscar, neither are of blood kin to my children. Conrad or any other person of blood kin on Emma's lineage are not my target. Thus, I am not a threat to anyone. The treaty is denied. The only peace that will come now is that neither of us makes a move on the other without the start of another war. We are lycans, we were not meant to be tamed by anyone outside the Alpha nor shall we begin now."
Matthew prided in the fact that his Alpha wasn't getting stupor drunk in his situation. It was rarely heard of mates separating, but apparently it did occur. His dark brown eyes scanned the pack, there were plenty of available women that would love to have Liam as their mate, but it seemed that the Alpha didn't want them just yet.
"Alpha," a muscular woman approached Liam with a hardened look in her tan eyes, "I am Isolde of the North, you may not remember my allegiance to you, but I have come to say that I wish to be your Beta."
Liam looked the tall, athletic woman before shrugging, "If that's what you want."
Isolde sneered slightly, her dark brown ringlet hair bounced slightly from her disgust, "You are an Alpha. You need to act like one even in dark times such as this. Our pack needs you and you just want to sit here and let your emotions cloud your mind."
"I wish to be left alone," Liam stood up, "If it's an Alpha you want, you will come back later. For now, set up a camp on the outskirts of Conrad's land here and you, alone, will return to hold your position as Beta."
This seemed to be satisfactory at least. Isolde nodded and directed the rest of the pack to follow her out the back door to follow out Liam's instructions.
"What will you name the prince?" one of the ladies asked as they poured Anya another chalice of blood for her in the privacy of the library.
"Alexei," Anya spoke, her Russian accent stronger in the name, "He will be strong like his father and agile like myself."
She placed a hand on her belly, the other ladies smiled at the small gesture as Anya looked back up at them, "First, we need a list of potential wives for my son and currently pregnant wives of political leaders. My son will not marry a common woman."
"Yes, my Queen," the ladies answered in unison.
