Liam's POV
"So it's true. He's back." I hear Uncle Sam confirm after hearing mom's testimony. It's quiet for about half a minute so I'm assuming mom nodded in approval or everyone is just stunned.

"Flora confirmed my thoughts when she spoke his name. None of my kids know his name. I always thought he was dead after all these years." Acknowledged in response to him.

"Well you thought wrong." Bella implored clutching her mates hand. I roll my eyes, never really liked her and I don't know why. Maybe because she isn't people friendly?

"If what Amy heard right from Flora, then, what should we do?" Esme inquired concerned. The room falls silent and all I can pick up is the heart beats from my parents and uncles.

"I say we keep this to ourselves until we can gather more of what Jason's planning. I have a bad feeling this could get ugly. In the meantime, we stick to being in groups of two or more. Especially if they are all newborns." Carlisle proposes in his doctor like tone. I strain my ears to hear more but freeze when a pair of topaz eyes stare directly at me.

"Shit." I curse and get out of there and back to Ember and Lilly. As I jog away I quickly caught a last bit of the conversation before I was out of ear shot.

"Edward, what is it?" I am making my way down a path and end up in the lumberyard where we held most of our pack meets in wolf form. Ember is sitting on a pile of wood and Lilly is pacing back and forth. Their attention is on me once I break through the trees.

"So, what did you find out?" Lilly questions when I stop in front of her and Ember.

"Not much, I got caught." I answered crossing my arms.

"What?" Lilly shrieks and I wince. I was about to tell her off but am interrupted when a voice speaks from behind me.

"It's not nice to eavesdrop." I barely turn to see Edward standing there in his dark clothes, hands in his pockets.

"Its not nice to keep information or should I say secrets." I retaliate in a cold tone.

"It's none of your business."

"It is my business if it has to do with my family." I remark getting irritated.

"Stay out of it." With that said, Edward is gone with the wind and not a trace. I sigh and run a hand through my hair in frustration.

"Liam," I sigh and look to Ember giving him a look to continue. "Maybe we should tell them." His voice low and eyes showing me how serious he is.

"Why now?" I query, wanting to know his reasoning.

"Liam, Aurora is dead. I thought we did what we did for a reason." He continues.

"And we did." I confirm with a nod.

"By Aurora getting killed! Liam that wasn't part of the plan." Ember fumed getting up from his spot. Seeing no reaction from me, he curses heading to the forest. "Screw this, I'm out of here." I watch him walk away and fade into the tree line. I turn my attention to Lilly who is standing there in her spot quietly.

"What about you? Do you agree with him?" Implore shrugging off in the direction Ember left. Probably to go see Sammy. She doesn't move or even make eye contact with me.

"H-he's right...it went too far Liam." Her voice hoarse holding back tears. She's got her left arm wrapped around her torso with her right arm held up towards her face, holding the back of her neck. Her eyes becoming a light shade of pink from the tears coming to the surface.

"We didn't go too far. If we had done more maybe..just maybe she would still be at college,"

"No! She wouldn't be Liam. We should have been there for her rather than pushed her away! We hurt her Liam! What kind of siblings are we?" She cracks at the end with tears falling. I keep my face blank. She takes a few steps back and veers off into a light run.

I take a deep breath and release a sigh in hopes to help alleviate some tension. I go to the tree line and take my clothes off and phase. I'd hate to hear mom and Kianie complain about me destroying my clothes.

I let my mind drift to everything and run blindly. Memories begin to surface. One comment after another. 'Why did you come back? They're only here because of you! Your nothing but trouble. Why even waste your breath talking to us, when you can just go die in a hole. You're nothing to me, you're not even my sister. You wouldn't be in this situation if you weren't born. Why haven't you died yet? We don't need or want you here.' My paws thundering against the ground, with each thought pushed me harder. Hate swimming through my veins.

I was so focused on the past I didn't even see the tree that was right in front of me, until I ran right into it and tumbled to the ground. I begin to growl furiously and stomping my paw against the dirt. I pant, from the harsh run and attempt to get my breathing under control. I take in my surroundings and see a familiar looking house.

It's dark grayish blue color blending in with the night sky. I hadn't even notice it was nightfall. I phase back and pull my shorts and t-shirt on. I can see the bedroom light on in the second story window and I sigh in relief. I pick up a small rock and throw it lightly at the window, receiving a small *tink* noise in return. I do this about three times before the window opens and a face I'm so thankful to see peeks out.

"Kianie," I smile kindly up at her.

"What are you doing here?" She whisper shouts. I take a step forward and respond,

"Stand back, I'm coming up." I see her figure move back a bit and I do a running star, jump up grabbing the small tree by the side of the house and kick my feet off the siding and swing myself into the window. Once I'm in I stand up and see that Kianie is in her penguin pajamas.

"What?" She looks at me funny and I pull her in to me and wrap my arms around her. I lay my head on her shoulder and sniff her hair, her strawberry shampoo calming me almost instantly. "Liam, everything alright?"

I sigh and release her and sit on the edge of her bed. "Not really." I stare at my hands that are resting on my lap and debate on what I'm about to do. "Everyone hates me."

"Liam, nobody hates you." She comes over and places her hand on my left shoulder, staring at me.

"Babe, they hate me and my siblings because of what we did. It wasn't even their fault.." She rubs my shoulder as I take a deep breath. "Kianie, I've said some terrible things to my sister that shouldn't have been said. I mean I'm her big brother, I should have been protecting her which I thought I was in a way."

"What do you mean?" Kianie questions with a raised eyebrow puzzled.

"When we were kids, I noticed people hanging around wherever we would go. I had a bad feeling and kept watch. I knew they were vampires and I got Lilly and Ember to help me. That's when I met Ty at the park. He had one of the leeches scent on him and I wanted to figure out how they were connected." I took another deep breath as I could feel my throat tightening up.

"I noticed he seemed rude to Aurora and I wanted to know why. I had my suspicions and if I wanted to find out what, I...I had to play along." I clench my hands and close my eyes as I feel my eyes begin to water.

"I said and did awful things to her...Lilly's right. I am a monster!" I break down, the dams have released and I cry for the first time in a long time.

"I will admit, that what you did was harsh and uncalled for, but-"

"She forgave me and I didn't get to explain myself! I've killed my own sister, Kianie!" I breakdown and hunch over with my head in my hands. My sobs filling the room as Kianie rubs my back comfortingly. She pulls me into a hug, rubs my back and hushes me in attempts to calm me down.

"Everything will be okay, Liam," Kianie whispers. That's how my night went. Getting comfort from my imprint as my cries take over. For the first time in days, I'm able to mourn for the loss of my sister. I'm so sorry Aurora.
***********
My eyes flutter open from the sunlight peeking in through the window. I cringe feeling a headache forming when I sit up. Running a hand through my hair, I rack my brain of last nights events. Peering down to my right, I see Kianie still sleeping peacefully.

I smile to myself and get out of bed slowly so I don't disturb her. I pull my shorts up and shirt on before I take one last glance down at the love of my life. I move over to her desk and search for a piece of paper. I found a picture that made me stop.

The picture was of Kianie and I at the beach on her birthday. Kianie was in her navy blue bikini, her right arm wrapped around my neck and her left holding the camera out to take the picture. I could actually remember that day as if it were yesterday.

Picking up a blue pen, I write a short message for Kianie. I leave it on her side table knowing that is where she will first look when she grabs her phone when she wakes up. I place the picture on the top corner of the note and place my phone beside the two.

I lean down and leave a soft kiss on her forehead before I make my way to the window. I open it slightly and jump out. My boots clash against the ground and I stand up straight walking to the woods. At the tree line, I shrug my clothes off and phase.

I feel so much freer is way and I huff shaking my fur out. I prance off with one thing on my mind. I'm gonna do what's right.
************
Aurora's POV
I wish I could do something. I want to end his suffering, his pain. I have been observing everyone, mostly one person. "Jesse," I croak, my bottom lip quivering as I clench my chest.

My heart just aches seeing his disheveled appearance. From bed head from not combing, the loss of color from his sun kissed skin, to sleep deprived eyes. I've done this to him. I have caused him this pain and I can't bare it any longer. I know someone that can help.

I imagine myself close to Flora, my body tingling, I open my eyes to see myself in her room. She's asleep with Stephen behind her and I sigh feeling bad that I have to disrupt a nice scene.

"Flora?" She hums in response and peeks an eye open.

"Oh no. What's the matter now?" She mumbles and closing her eyes again.

"It's Jesse. I need your help. Please," I guess hearing the concern in my voice must have given her motivation. She gets up and I hear a masculine groan escape from Stephen's lips.

"I'll be right back." Flora kisses him goodbye and runs I assume to Jesse's house. I imagine myself back at the house and I go to the bedroom to see that Jess has not moved an inch. I hear a knock and assume it's Flora.

She calls out but Jesse stays silent, even when she knocks on the bedroom door. "Jesse?"

She opens the door ajar enough to get her head in and frowns. I can see the sympathy in her eyes at the sight of him.

"Leave me alone." He rumbles clutching the pillow closer to his body. My pillow.

"Jesse we need to talk." She comes over and sits on the edge of the bed.

"We've been over this. There's nothing to talk about."

"Auri's-" Flo starts off and Jesse sits up in swift motion glaring at her.

"Don't start. I'm not in the mood." He warns, his tone getting cold.

"Jesse talk to me. We are all worried about you, even Aurora is!"

"Bullshit! How can she be worried, Flora? Huh? She's gone!" He grips the pillow in a death like grip and his teeth are grinding together tightly.

"Jesse," Flora whispers.

"No. No I don't think you understand. She died, we watched her die. Ever since that day, nothing's been the same. I've had crazy shit happen and I'm losing my god damn mind!" He bellows breathing heavily. "I feel like she's here and I can feel her touch, but..but when I try to reach out its gone! Okay? Aurora, my imprint, the love of my life is gone!" Jesse croaks breaking down.

He runs a hand through his hair in frustration before plopping backwards on the bed. Rolling to his side and he grips the pillow again and cries into it. Sighing sadly, I walk over and lay beside him, my face looking at the back of his head. I place my hand on his shoulder and focus on his touch, his warmth until I can feel the tingles once again.

I peer over to Flora and she smiles sadly knowing how I'm feeling. "I'm here love, I'm right here. Jesse, listen to my voice." I coo to him and I can feel his shaking frame relax until his cries have become sniffles to hiccups.

"Jesse, she is here. I know I sound crazy, but, she is here with us. Can't you feel her? She's laying behind you, talking." Flora admits trying to get him to open up. "Aurora hasn't left your side and it's hurting her to see you like this." She pats his leg and gets up to head for the door. "My offer still stands Jesse." With that she left and I'm here with my imprint.

"Aurora?" I perk up hearing him call out my name. "If you can hear me, I-I just want to say..I love you."

"Me too love, I love you with all my heart Jesse." I confess leaning my head between his shoulder blades, enveloping my existence in his never ending warmth.

I'm literally running out of ideas and open to suggestions! I wonder what Liam wrote 😉, why is aurora still hanging around and not moved on with her grandpa?
I hope you enjoyed the update 😄
