Carlos' POV:
I tapped my fingers against the steering wheel as I waited outside of; well Goddess knows where the fuck I am. Once again I was called upon to come and get Antonio and his friends. Last time I checked I wasn't his errand boy and he has several other people he could ask so why is it always me?!

I looked out the rear mirror to see the building ablaze behind me and four figures made their way towards me.

I didn't bother getting out of the car or opening the door for them if they wanted a personal chauffeur then they should have hired one. Drayden opened the door and Caden jumped onto the passenger's seat whilst the other three occupied the back seat.

*****
"Why is Car driving? I want to drive."

I rolled my eyes and looked at the three people currently occupying my back seat. Eva squeezed my hand and I brought her hand to my lips as I listened to Liv and Alec bicker, just wishing for a bit of silence.
*****

I held my tongue and started to drive off as all four of them were covering my seats with blood. My hands turned white as I clutched the wheel tighter as we drove in silence.

*****
"Because he's a good driver and actually has a license. You crashed your car last month and uncle Sal took your license."

Eva told me all about Liv's little accident, one minute they were talking through the bluetooth about their shopping weekend and the next Liv was swearing up a storm.

"That's not true it was an accident. Kase tell him."
*****

That was the last trip we ever went on and it took us at least four attempts just to arrive at the campsite. If it wasn't Liv and Alec bickering it was Benji and Robin driving Tan crazy. I wish we made more of an effort to have more trips like that...

"Thanks for the lifted Carlos."

I just nodded in response, if I say something I'm going to explode. I didn't spare Caden a look as he hopped out the car, I just waiting for them all to leave before I drove home.

*****
"Children if you can't be nice to eachother then don't say anything at all or I'll get Car to turn around and take us home."

I chuckled as Kase gave his final word on the matter with his eyes still closed and his arms crossed over his chest. I don't particularly want to turn around and go home but I guess the boss has spoken.

"See Alec Kase is on my side."

They are so childish, if this is how they argue I don't think I ever want to see them fight I don't even know who I'd place my bet on to win, maybe Alec...

"Shut up Liv he didn't take anyone side. He told you to shut up."

Well so much for our holiday. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Eva was fuming as she messaging Robin in the car behind us. Great, just great thanks a lot you idiots I'm going to be in the dog house now. Eva's been planning this holiday for months and now she's going to kill me because we're not going. Why can't she kill them why doesn't it have to be me.

"Right that's it Carlos turn the car around we're going back."
*****

I'm going to be late and Eva's going to kill me but what could I say sorry Antonio the wife said I can't come and get you otherwise I'll miss our monthly full moon games you remember our games right the thing you came up with so we could do something fun instead of running around endlessly with the pack, yeah no. I think I'd rather be killed and buried in my backyard by my wife then tortured and murder by my Alpha.

I sighed looking at the blood stained seats as I parked the car up in the garage. Great I'm going to have to spend tomorrow cleaning the car before Eva sees it like this just fucking great.

I made my way to the kitchen grabbing a glass off the counter. I didn't even have chance to fill the glass up before it shattered in my hand. I want to fucking kill Antonio for what he's put us through. He pushes and pushes and now he's pushed too far. He's pushing us all away and replaced us with his new friends. How the fuck does he thinks this makes us feel does he even fucking care!

"Car? Carlos hey, hey look at me. Look at me it's okay calm down."

Eva came into view taking my face in her hands. I buried my head into the coup of her neck just breathing in her scent to help calm myself down. I wrapped my arms around her waist bring her close to me.

"Feel better?"

I just nodded again her neck before I kissed her mark. I moved my head out of her neck and pressed a kiss to her lips as I finally calm down. How does she always know how to make me feel better.

"I'm fine, thank you Mi Corazón. It's just our oh so mighty Alpha."

He really knows how to piss me off, he always did but he always apologies if he went too far now we'll he does give a shit.

"Well forget about him, if he doesn't want to spend time with us then why should we bother trying. Now come on the others are waiting for us down but the oak tree."

She smiled interlocking our hands before she started to lead me through the house and out the back door.

"Are Liv and Kase coming?"

Her smile dropped slightly and I took that as my answer. I'm not surprised Kase didn't want to come, after Alec well Antonio didn't showed up he didn't either. Liv and her dad went back to Italy after Giovanni died but we all expected her to show up once she got back I guess she's still pissed off with Antonio for shutting us all out but the guys not even showing up himself so I'd love to know her excuse for not showing her face.

"Finally what took you guys so long the chuckle brothers have been driving me crazy since we got here."

I just chuckled as Robin and Benji gave us an innocent smile which we all knew was fake they loved winding Tan up especially when they know no-one is around to tell them to stop.

"Well you boys better knock it off I'm not saving your asses when she kills you. Now three two one run Tan."

Eva knew I was off guard so when she pushed me I fell right into Robin and Benji knocking the three of us to the ground oh it's so on now Mi Corazón you better run.

*****
"So what are we going to play this time oh mighty Alpha?"

I smirked from my spot on the picnic blanket with Eva in my arms as we watched the two cousins bicker like brother and sister about tonight's game. Robin and Benji were practically bouncing in their seats itching to play not caring what game just as long as they got to move whilst Kase and Tan calmly watched the exchange between Alec and Liv placing their silent bets on who they think will win.

'My bets on Alec to win this round.'

Kase grinned as I mind linked the two of them whilst Tan just glared at me before she smirked. I looked down at Eva to see her smirking great so the girls are tag teaming against us great.

"We're playing capture the wolf, my team against Liv's. Questions?"

Benji and Robin shook their heads I wouldn't put it passed them to have questions but not be bothered to asked them.

"Fine but if I win I get to pick the next game Alec."

Alec shook his head and they both started arguing again. It wouldn't be a full moon game without someone bickering.

"Can we please just go now?"

I swear those two become more hyper at full moons. Benji and Robin were no longer sat down they were just running around us asking the same question over and over.

"Yes wolves run! Not you Robin your on Liv's team oh nevermind."

We laughed as Benji just shrugged I knew he and Robin weren't really listening. We all waited patiently for five minutes to pass before Alec called out that time was up.

"Let the hunt begin."

I just shook my head as all three of them ran off in different directions, nearly colliding with each other. I think they forgot we have all night to find the other.

I pushed myself off the blanket and slowly started to walk around allowing Sparrow to guide me to our mate. Alec said we couldn't shift he never said we could use our wolves and our mate bonds to find each other, I'm not complaining me and Eva can star gaze on the blanket whilst we wait for the others.

As I cut through the trees I spotted Alec, he'd captured Kase placing his arms either side so Kase was stuck between him and the tree. My eyes widened as Alec kissed Kase and I quickly turned and ran off in search of Eva. I knew it I knew they had a thing for each other I can't wait until the others find out but I'll let them all work it out for themselves it's no fun if I just tell them. Now where oh where could Mi Corazón be.
*****
I sighed, looking up at the stars from my spot on the blanket Tan had brought just remembering a simpler time, a better time. A time when there was eight of us, when it was just the eight of us against the world.

I had given up our little game of cat and mouse awhile ago, I'll let Benji and Robin find the girls. Our full moon tradition has lost all it's fun lately.

I just wish..I wish if only I could just wish everything to go back to the way it was but I can't. Not all the wishes in all the world could fix our little family all I can really do is hope that one day just one day that something will change and I can have my family back but until then I'll settle for the memories.
