"I fell in love with a music box
You were a music box,
With your life shit so tight,
Just waiting to see who was lovely enough to want to hear something beautiful,
Just waiting to see who cared enough to
open you up."-kpk

"Well maybe he needs to hear it from someone else." Gia said as she looked at Pandora and Leslie.

"Why are you looking at Pandora?" Lucien asked as he didn't look or where this was going, he didn't like it one bit.

"When you look at Pandora what do you think?" Gia asked.

"Innocence." Clif  said as he caught up with Gia

"Why do I feel like I'm not going to like this one bit." Lucien asked.

"Because you're not. You're really not going to like this." Gia laughed evilly as she rubbed her hands together.

"So why do you think this is a good idea?" Lucien asked as he watched from the sidelines as his wife was putting her neck out.

The plan was simple and dangerous, very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Did he mention dangerous?

"Stay calm, you can not ruin it now Lucien." Gia said as she gave him a warning glare.

"But I can't just..." Lucien was cut off.

"Shut up, he's here!" Gia hissed.

"Hello Mom." Benjamin said to his Alexia as he entered the restaurant. Although he looked around suspiciously but turned back to his mother happily. He had missed her so much. He wanted her to be unknown, he wanted to keep her away from the drama that would continuously follow him. He loved his mother very much and always kept her from danger, he always did but he hasn't always been there.

He knew about mates since the day he could speak. He always wanted one but he saw the way his father and mother acted. They were so in love but his father used to her his mother. He always believed it was his fault until he learnt about his real father.

How he loathe the man who was the reason of his mothers pain. The reason why her very own mate inflected pain upon her. How he would enjoy destroying him.

"What is it Ben?" Alexia asked him.

"Nothing... I could've sworn I smelt the most delicious thing ever." Benjamin said as he shrugged it off.

"Oh... Okay... Anyway I want you to meet someone." Alexia said nervously as a pair approached the table cautiously.

"Bloodhounds!" Benjamin hissed.

"Relax, we only want to talk." Pandora said in a fake whimper as she caressed her protruding stomach with one hand and reached for her knife with the other.

"Why are they here mother." Benjamin snarled.

"They are here to meet you sweetheart. I know you think it was their fault b-but it wasn't." Alexia said to her son a the Bloodhounds sat down, Pandora with the help of her father.

"Of course it's their fault..." But he was cut off.

"No! It was mine. Maybe if I had told Leslie you existed, maybe if I did something different, maybe things would have been different." Alexia teared as she confessed.

Pandora woke up as fast as she could and went to Alexia and held her the best she could. Alexia needed someone to lean on. Pandora held her as she cried into the crook of her neck.

Benjamin looked at his mother in shocked, never had he witnessed her in the state she was in. She was always the shoulder he cried on, his rock, the person everyone relied on but this was something new. He didn't know what to do. She had always been so strong but this was her turn to lean on someone.

Benjamin went to his mothers side, completely ignoring Pandora and Leslie, as he took his mother in his arms and hushed her.

"It's not their fault Ben. Don't hate them." Alexia sobbed against his shoulder.

"I won't mom, I won't." Benjamin agreed as he held her.

"Hmm." Pandora groaned in pain as she rubbed her swollen belly. Alexia immediately shit up and went to Pandora's aid.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Alexia panicked.

"It's nothing, he's just kicking, you know alpha blood and all..." Pandora said as she gently picked Alexia's hands up and placed them upon her tummy. Benjamin watched intently at the interaction that had conspired.

"Do you...?" Pandora asked Benjamin polity but in reality she was ready to snap him in half if he made the wrong move. People forgot that she could control blood and if you had blood in your body than you were going to be her bitch.

"It's fine." Benjamin said with no emotions.

"Please, it will be you nephew or niece to." Pandora said as she finally used her secret weapon.

"She's going to do it..." Victor said as he blocked his eyes.

"I seriously can't watch..." Raven said as he turned his face.

"What is she going to do?" Lucien asked as he felt so left out.

"You don't want to know, just hope she doesn't use it on you." Michael said.

"I can't watch, I don't think I can if I wanted to." Cole said.

"That's my girl." Gia smirked.

"What's going on?" Lucien was at a dead end.

"She going to do it, she's going to use her puppy dog eyes."
