Broken Mates
Epilogue

"I'm sorry Tris" Jake apologized. They were now in the living room waiting for their mates who were in a meeting with Roy, Corey, Sebastian and Zane in the office. Right after sending Rex and Marie off, they went into the office for a meeting.

And Tristan and Jake being good mates decided to wait for their mates. Alan already went to bed so did Debby, Minna, Sandy and James. Well, only after cleaning up the kitchen.

"For what?" Jake looked at his phone on the couch beside him. The phone Albert bought for him when he turned 16. That day, Al bought two phones. One for Tristan and one for him. He had used the phone for years, that was until he was sent to Cidna Pack, and they took it away.

He only got his phone back when Roy and Corey recused and his phone, was with the guard who was guarding him back at Cidna pack. He (The guard) was also the one who took his phone.

Back then, he didn't know he was in Cidna pack and just assumed the man was a new guard sent by the pack leader, Fortin to guard him.

He thought he was in an underground in the pack leader's house or something, It was only after Roy and Corey recused him that he found out he wasn't in Rid Pack and that for the past weeks, he was in Cidna pack. An underground cage in the pack.

Why did he think he was in Rid pack even though the environments and the guard were different? It was because his former pack leader used to pay him visits. Unpleasant visits he never wanted to experience again.

He only got his phone back after Roy killed that guard who had his phone in his pocket.

He treasured this phone. Not only because it was gifted to him by Al but also because it had their memories on it. All their happy moments they took pictures of was on it. And he used to look at those moments when Fortin came for him without ceasing his phone because he thought he would be able to track Tristan down when Jake called him or he (Tristan) called Jake. But that never happened because Jake turned off his phone and only turned it on when it was midnights.

When he knew Tristan would be asleep wherever him was. That meant, he only got to see those happy moments on his phone when it was midnights.

That day he separated from Al and Zac's was one of the worst days in his life.

"What are you sorry about?" Tristan asked. Jake opened his mouth to say something but then shut it up again, his lips pressed together tightly in a straight line. Tristan could see his friend was struggling to say whatever he wanted to say.

"What do you want to say Jake?" Tristan said in a gentle tone with a smile. Jake looked up, "........." He was hesitating but that was okay, Tristan had the whole night, and could wait.

".........I'm really sorry. I didn't tell you this" Jake said hurriedly but then calmed down and said his next words slowly, "On the day you called and said you were in Moonlight Wolf Pack, Al and Zac were already taken. They were taken before me. I don't know where they were taking to. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you, I didn't want to worry you"

With his head lowered and with a sad look on his face, Tristan mumbled, "I see"

A few seconds later, Tristan looked up to see an anxious Jake, probably waiting for him to say something,

"You don't have to apologize. I should. You went through so much to protect me. Even though it was my parents that brought you so much misery, you still cared about me, loved me and protected me. You see Jake, I'm not the strong one, you are. While I was comfortable here, you were struggling, living a nightmare"

"I'm really sorry" Jake smiled at Tristan's words, "You don't have to apologize. It wasn't your fault. You know, I never blamed anyone but Mr and Mrs Lang, but........even them......., I forgave them" Jake looked up at Tristan, his friend was shock at his words "They might have done all those terrible things but they still took me in after my parents death"

"I wouldn't say I think of them as my parents"

"Don't worry about that, even I've disown them as my parents. Jack and Marie are now my parents" Tristan said with a smile. He really was blessed, "I haven't met Mr Ash, but I think of Mrs Ash as my mom. I can say she's the perfect mom. And she's my second mother" Tristan stared at his friend in shock.

"Huh?, who's your first mom then?" Because just now he said he didn't think of Tristan's mom as his mother. So then, who did he think of as his first mother?

Jake smiled brightly, "I think of Albert as my mother and Zac as my father"

"No way! Me too. Did you know I wrote an essay of them as my parents in school?"

"Yes, Tris, I was there" Did Tristan forget they were always together back at school?

"The teacher was so stunned that she called your parents for a meeting" Jake begun to laugh, "She......she........she told your parents to take care of you instead of Al and Zac. And....And....And to also get you engaged or.....or you might turn gay!! HAHAHAHA, the poor woman didn't know you were already gay HAHAHAHA"

Tristan burst out laughing. They laughed wholeheartedly. Grateful both of them got their forgiveness and grateful they were both alive and got to meet again. Now, all that was left was Al and Zac, and then family will be complete again.

***************************

Their laughter could be heard all the way to the office where Lvan, Colten, Chris, Zane, Roy, Corey and Sebastian were having the meeting.

Lvan, Colten and Chris smiled at the loud laughter from their mates. They sounded happy, and that made them happy.

"So, what do we do? I'm sure the pack members know nothing about their leaders bad doings. Considering Jake was locked up in an underground cage" Chris and Colten frowned at Roy's words. They have heard it so many times and each time they hear it, they got angry, very angry. "I'm sure the kids are also in a place somewhere like that" Roy said, looking attentively at lvan. But Corey's reply drew his attention to him.

"They are. They are on the left side of the alpha's house in an underground cells. I think that place is supposed to be prison"

"Could it be, he lied that they were prisoners sent by another pack leader"

"Fortin" Lvan announced furiously. His wolf was wriggling, he wanted something to kill. Too bad, he wasn't joining the mission. He could hear his wolf complaining angrily, but he chose to ignore him, because he knew, no amount of coaxing or calming words would get through him.

"I think so too. Their scent were too strong to ignore. And, I think someone was blocking their scent which indicate they're kids. Because I actually thought they were grown ups. I only went there because I thought maybe Jake was imprisoned there. Then.... Then....I saw them......"

"A wizard?" Roy asked, Corey swallowed the anger and thirst for murder down and nodded, although they all knew the anger wasn't going anywhere. They were all angry, and they wanted to kill. The thirst to kill was too strong to ignore.

"What about the human?" Sebastian asked. He was really worried about him. What a mess he was in? He....... Oh, he was going to kill those bastards. All of them.

"His scent was also strong?" Zane asked, he got a reply from Corey with a nod, "How can the pack members ignore and not question? Cabby said their pack didn't welcome humans or other paranormal beings. We are like the only pack who welcome them"

"I see. Well, we will only know after we recuse them" Lvan said, "So, is the alpha's house closer

to them?"

"No, there's a distance between his house and the pack members" Roy answered. He observed the whole place before separating with Corey and going in search of Jake.

"Good, very good" Lvan said nodding, "Then, burn the place down" Lvan said with an evil smile, looking at Colten who also had a satisfied and evil smile.

God, they all had evil and satisfied smiles on their faces and if Chris didn't know them better, he would say they were one evil bastards.

He smiled at the thought and looked at his mate. He was happy with the declaration.

"I like that" Roy said. "We will deal with the pack members later on" Ivan announced.

******************

Even was enjoying his morning with a movie. He got up this morning, brushed his teeth, took a bath, clothed up, ate the breakfast Minna brought and was now in the living room, entertaining himself with a movie on his phone.

Well, everything about him was now normal, of course except his eyes and his claws which were out. His dark blue eyes still shone with impatience, loneness. Thirst for something he couldn't figure out, rage for not having what he wanted and sad for having to wait for so long.

Apart from that, his wolf was also quiet, it was almost like he was asleep and that gave him a peace of mind. He wasn't hearing complaints or scoldings and that gave him a peace of mind. He could only guess it was because of the scent and the presence of that person. It was comforting and it was a good feeling. It seemed no one could smell him except him. Minna didn't notice this new scent and presence when she came by, this could only mean he was the

only one he could feel it.

He just hope he wasn't imagining things.

He paused the movie he was watching and looked out through the window. The whole room

shone bright because of the sun rays. He drew apart the curtains and opened the windows when he came to sit in the living room.

He wondered how long he would have to wait. If he wasn't imagining things, he wondered how

long he would have to wait.

"Not that long, because I'm coming" the man he wanted to hear his voice for so long said. A violent wind blew from the window and a smiled crept on his face.

He was coming.
