Chapter 64: Chapter 64

"Yes!" I exclaimed as I also grinned which made Alpha Clause chuckle in his velvety deep voice as he watched me, making desire pool in my tummy at the sexy sound. However, I tried not to let my desire take over as I looked around. The rest of our friends also looked happy to be out of the Forbidden Forest.

"You've really helped us, thank you very much!" Alpha Mason said to Henry in gratitude as he shook his hand.

Henry smiled and replied, "It was my pleasure, you are all welcome."

"Let's get out of here." Alpha Alpha Clause muttered as Henry and his men walked back into the Forbidden Forest.

Hours later, we arrived home, and Alpha Sloan, Alpha Nathan, Alpha Mason, Alpha Wyatt and their mates went back to their packs while Carter, Alpha Clause and I made our way to the mansion's door. Alpha Clause opened the door by dialing the keypad and it unlocked. We made our way inside and saw Bailey waiting for us in the living room since I have texted her and let her know that we were coming as soon as we left the Forbidden Forest and our phone's network came back on.

"Luna Fay!" She grinned when she saw me and rushed over to us over to us then hugged me.

"We thought something awful happened to you when you didn't come back." She added as she pulled back from the hug.

"Yeah, well, a lot of awful things happened to us there." I replied to her as I looked at Alpha Clause then looked back at her with a sigh.

"What happened? What did you see?" She asked, looking curious and concerned at the same time.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything later." I reassured her with a small smile.

"Sure, alright." She replied to him with a nod then looked at Alpha Clause as she bowed her head, "Welcome back, Alpha!"

"And Carter." She added as she glanced at him and he gave her a stiff nod since they weren't exactly friends.

"Thank you for the warm welcome, Beta Bailey. How have things been here? I saw your letter from the pigeon, how are the injured pack members?" He asked her with a concerned frown on his brows.

"They have healed already and everything has been fine since the attack." She answered him with a smile on her face.

"That's good, I knew that I could count on you." He replied to her then turned to me with a smile tugging at his lips.

"Let's go freshen up and relax since we need it after such a long and tiring journey." He murmured as his alluring dark eyes captured my brown ones, making my heart beat faster at his intense stare.

We were both glad to be finally home, especially since we haven't been intimate since we left for the Forbidden Forest. There was some pent up sexual tension that needed to be released. The sound of several footsteps pulled our attention away from each other and to the pack members as they rushed towards Alpha Clause, Carter and I to welcome us. Rachel, and the twins; Riley and Ron with their mom and Tyler, the other rogue that joined us together with Kaden.

"Welcome back!" The pack shouted in unison, showering us with hugs and smiles.

"Thank you!" I exclaimed in reply as I grinned at them while Alpha Clause and Carter nodded at them.

"We missed you." One of the elders of the pack said.

"We've been worried sick about you!" A teenage girl muttered.

"You have no idea how much we needed you to be here even though Bailey was doing a good job." Rachel said as she hugged both Alpha Clause and I then pulled back.

"We love you Luna and Alpha!" Riley muttered as she grinned and hugged my legs with her little arms.

"Yeah, I've missed you so much!" Ron added with a grin.

As the pack continued to greet us, we talked with them as we revelled at being back.Tyler stepped forward as he looked between the three of us and asked us, "Where is Kaden?"

"I'm sorry, Tyler, he's gone, murdered by an evil Leprechaun." I said to him softly.

He gasped as he shook his head, a disbelieving and panicked look showed on his face, "No! How did this happen?"

"I know that you're in grief right now, but you need to call down. Everyone has their time and it was his time when the Leprechauns captured us." Alpha Clause said to him in a comforting voice as he patted his shoulder lightly.

"Will you be alright?" I asked him with a concerned look on my face since all pack members were family, and brothers and sisters. We would protect each other with our lives.

"I'll be fine, thanks to you guys." He muttered as he looked down, blinking back tears from his eyes.

"Well, we are really glad that you're okay." I replied to him as I nodded.

"It was the first time in a long time that I felt safe in my life, so I'm really glad to be part of this pack, thank you, all of you." Tyler added as he gave me a small smile then looked around at everyone.

"You're welcome." The pack chorused as they threw smiles his way.

Rachel stepped forward as she looked between Alpha Clause, Carter and I as she said, "Why don't you have dinner with us before you go upstairs to rest? We want to spend some time with you as your pack members after missing you like this. Plus I have made your favorite meatloaf dish, Clause."

Alpha Clause grinned as he replied to her, "Sure, I would love to eat dinner with all of you tonight, especially since it's your delicious meatloaf dish."

" I would love to do so too." I added as I grinned at Rachel.

Some minutes later, we were eating dinner while we talked about what had happened in the Forbidden Forest, and our new formed alliance with Henry.

"So, you really think that we can trust him?" Alpha Clause asked me as he chewed on his meatloaf.
