Cassie shut her eyes as she sniffled, try to keep as controlled as she could but it was so hard. Seeing him this way broke her heart and the thought of loosing him had her anger level rising even more. She pressed her lips to his cheek gently. "No baby i'm right here with you. I'm going to get you out of here. I promise you. Just hold on." She turned and looked at her father just as he ordered his men to finish Mat off. Rough hands grabbed her arms and tore her away from him, holding her back to watch her mate die. As hard as she fought against them and cried out for her father to stop they wouldn't let her go. Her eyes settled on one man who held a gun in his hand. He was loading silver bullet's into it. "Please, you can't do this to him!! Please!" Her desperation grew as she watched the man aim up the gun towards Mat. As the piercing sound of a gunshot filled the air her heart sank as she screamed.
Alex had been watching from the doorway and was beyond furious. How could a father do this to his own child. Cassie was innocent and was only fighting for her mate. He was not going to let his son die and he wasn't going to let Cassie go through the pain of loosing her mate. There was only one thing he could do and he knew that the moment he spotted the man aiming the gun at Mat. As he heard the gunshot, he jumped forwards, throwing his body in front of his son.
Violet giggled as Elin lifted her onto her lap on the sofa. She smiled and rested her little leg's on Freddie's lap as she snuggled into Elins arms. "I love you to, your the bestest mummy and daddy in the whole entire world!" She grinned up at them both. Having only been young when the accident happened, the easiest way for her to cope with the new situation was to call them her mother and father. It was sad really, that she didn't remember much about her parents but Freddie and Elin were everything to her. She was so lucky to have them. "What do you want to tell me?" Her eyes settled on Freddie waiting for him to speak. "Is it about this?" She poked Elin's stomach gently and giggled as she felt something wiggle beneath her finger.
Freddie gently took her hand in his and smiled down at her, "Your going to have a brother and sister Violet. Elin is pregnant, that's why she's got a bump now." He gently took her hand and placed it on Elin's stomach. "Feel that? It's your brother and sister." He looked down at her happily as he waited to see her expression. He hoped with all his heart that she would accept this and be happy because he didn't want her to feel left out.
