Chapter 17: Jumping back in

I finally pull away from Ira, we have been mourning together for hours, I have to get back to my boys now. I need to tell them how much Daddy loved them. I step into the light I have been seeing and am brought back into my body. I groan as I shift my stiff muscles. I open my eyes to see an empty hospital room, my boys need everyone more than I do right now anyways. 

(Finn: Dawson?)

(Dawson: This is he.)

(Finn: Where are my boys?)

(Dawson: I wouldn't know ma'am)

(Finn: WHAT?! DO NOT PLAY GAMES WITH ME! WHERE. ARE. MY. BOYS?!)

(Dawson: FINN?!)

(Finn: Of course it's me! where are my sons?!)

My room door flung open and I looked over to see Dawson, he looked at me then barreled over to me and wrapped me in his arms tightly.

"Finn! You're Awake!" He says laughing holding me way too tight.

"Dawson I needed to mourn with Ira, I've only been gone a few hours." He pulled away from me and looked into my eyes shocked.

"Finn you have been in a comatose state for eleven years."

"WHAT?!" I scream. There is no way. Just then two teenagers walked into the room. They both have brunette curls and icy blue eyes, they look shocked to see me sitting up and awake. My boys, they are all grown up. I missed it, I let myself cry, I failed William again. Our boys grew up without both of their parents. 

"I'm so sorry William." I whisper to myself and I cry. I'm engulfed in hugs as my boys come back to their senses.

"Mom! You're awake!"

"Lucas and I have been waiting to see you wake up."

"I failed." I whisper not really looking at anything. "I failed, I missed it all." 

"Finn stop." Dawson said grabbing my shoulders as my boys took my hands.

"I failed you William, I'm so sorry." I whimper.

"Mom, you didn't fail dad, it's okay." One of my boys kissed my head. I bawled.

"What have I done?" I sob.

"Mom please...." I look at my boys and cry harder, they look just like William. 

"I'm sorry boys." I whimper again.

"You're here now mom. You get to help us with our first shift in a few years!" My Lucas said.

"Yeah, you get to see us find our mates and get married too mom." Lincoln said rubbing his thumb on my cheek.

"I want to go home. I need to feel him." I softly said not taking my eyes from the boys. 

"I'll go get the doctor, Finn you are gonna need a lot of help. You haven't exactly been in fighting shape recently."

"I don't wanna fight anymore. What happened to Robyn?"

"She is in the cells, imprisoned for life."

"No, once I'm strong enough, she dies." I say coldly looking up at Dawson. He sighs and nods.

"But mom she is our aunt." Lucas says.

"Lucas she lied to her mate, she said your father and I tortured her, she is the reason your father was killed."

I grab his hand and look in both of their eyes.

"How did you know I'm Lucas, half the time Uncle Daw can't tell."

"Your hair has always been a bit darker than Linc's and Lincoln has small golden flecks in his eyes, that you don't have."

"So trying the twin swap wont work on you?" Lincoln says.

"Nope." I respond popping the p, making my boys smile. 

"Finn!" I'm engulfed in a swarm of bodies flying at me, making me giggle. 

"You have some catching up to do young lady!" My dad says while he hugs me. 

"I know Daddy."

"Alright Alpha Finn, you are good to go." The doctor said clearing me. Dawson, the boys and I went to my home. No-one was around so I wasn't bothered. I got up on shaky legs and made my way to our closet. All of our stuff was the way we had left it that morning. I grabbed a simple black t-shirt and black briefs. They still smelled like my William. I took a bath, using his soaps and towel to dry myself. I got dressed and walked over to his nightstand and picked up our family photo. We had gotten it done when the boys were three months old. I began to sob looking at how happy we were. One month before my world ended. I ran my fingers over his face and tattoo. I missed the sparks, the way he would just hold me tight, for me it had only been a few days since the last time he held me, but it already felt like an eternity. I carried the picture out to the living room with me, not ready to let go of my William. I sat on the couch between my sons and they both wrapped me in their arms. 

"What did his tattoo mean mom?" Lincoln asks.

"I don't know if it did. I think he got it just because he was free, he didn't have anymore restrictions."

"Mom, We love you." Lincoln says. "And we know dad loved you too." 

"Yeah, Uncle Dawson showed us a lot of pictures of you when you were younger. We are sorry you had to go through the pain of losing your mate."

"It will take a long time but I will get better, and it will be you boys who will help me get trough it."

...............2 months later...............

After non-stop excersize and catching up with all of my pack members, I am finally ready to be the Alpha my pack needs again. Lucas and Lincoln have come back to live with me, but I had them keep stuff at Dawson's and Mia's homes for sleepovers, Sebastian also has some clothes at our place for when he comes over. Tanner found her mate, his name is Vincent and he is a warrior, they have three beautiful children. Two girls, Hope and Alicia, and a son, Garrett. Mia and Rose got sperm donated to them by a few male wolves, and have had two babies. One of the babies, went to the males, seeing as they are gay. Dawson and Oliver named their daughter Winney. Mia and Rose's daughter's name is Vivian. 

My mother and father have retired and began traveling the world. They had come back to visit Tanner the week that I had woken up. They were ecstatic that I finally woke up when they were here. I contacted Dark-river and talked to Dylan and his wife. I went and visited them bringing the boys and Dawson. Dawson and Mia held the pack together in the absence of William and I. They did the pack proud. In their honor I have arranged for a secret celebration. When I was asleep, they had people come and make a stone statue of Atrox, and it was placed behind the pack house where his ashes have been buried. When I need to think, I shift and lay down on Atrox's paws. 

Keeping true to my word, I am now ready to execute Robyn for the death of William. I put on a black t-shirt and faded blue jeans. I put my hair in dutch braids and put on my navy no-shows and combat boots and made my way to the prison cells. We had two prisoners, a rouge who has crossed our border and attacked Dax, and Robyn. She looked like hell, he brunette hair was patchy and had dreadlocks. Her skin was brown from dirt and grime, her blue eyes had bags underneath them. 

"I would like her cleaned up with a change of clothes, shave the mop off of her head please. I don't want her putrid smell to offend anyone in our pack." Zack is positioned as her guard, he will make sure it gets done.

"Yes Alpha." I put my hand out and I ruffle his hair making him grin like a kid. I smile back before turning to leave. I help get everything set up for the execution. Not knowing what to do I make three execution stations, one is death by fire, two id head chopped off, three is heart rip. I really like three, she can feel what I did the day I lost My William.

Before long she is brought out to the stage. The pack gathers around and everyone is glaring at her.

"Before we get on with this, I have three methods of which the accused could perish. One, death by fire, smelly and slow, Two, Classic head chop, quick merciful. Three, my personal favorite, heart ripped from her chest. You get to decide, yell for your favorite please. One!" A few people yelled out.

"Two!" Only one or two wolves yipped at that one.

"Three!" The rest liked this method the best. 

"You are an amazing pack everybody, before we begin anyone under of thirteen must leave, anyone else who doesn't want to see this, may also go. There is no judgement here!" quite a few people left, i didn't blame them, had it been anyone else, i would've too. 

"Any last words Robyn?" I finally ask looking at her.

"I'm sorry Finn please have mercy!"

"No. You aided in harming your own blood, not once, but twice, he died because of the lies you told. My husband and the father of my four month old twins was killed because you are a hateful evil being. I will not show mercy to you, you have done nothing to deserve it." With that I extend my claws and push my hand into her chest. "This is what I felt when My William was ripped from my life." I tell her as i sneer. Blood drips from her mouth as my hand wraps around her beating heart. Without a second thought I grab the pumping muscle and rip it free of her chest. I face the crowd as Robyn's lifeless body falls to the ground. I examine her heart and throw it down with the rest of her. I leave the stage and shift, running to a familiar spot in the woods. Sadness no longer lingers on the ground here. Ira and Atrox restored the balance by mating in this spot. We lay down and rest our head in our paws and fall asleep.

I wake up in the same spot I fell asleep, only difference is I'm human again. 

"Finley!" I slowly turn to face the man calling my name. I jump up and throw myself in his arms. He has on nothing but sweatpants.

"William! How?!" I exclaim as tears pour down my face.

"The moon goddess let me visit you because she knows how hard you are trying to be strong for our boys. Finley I need you to know, I will never ever be disappointed in you. I know what happened to me was hard on you. I watched you look for me, and I saw what happened when your stubborn little ass found me. I love you Finley and our boys are the luckiest twins alive, because you are their mother." Tears were running down both of our faces. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him with all my love, loss, regret, and pain. He returns it with Love, happiness, and pride. 

"William, our boys look just like you." I wrap my arms around his waist and lean into his chest. I kiss the tattoo on his neck. "I wish we had more time, I would've liked to have had another baby, maybe a girl."

"I would've liked to have had maybe ten more." A gentle breeze began wrapping itself around us. "I have to go Amica mea." William was pulling himself from my arms. I feel his soft lips kiss my forehead and he looks into my eyes. "Lucas and Lincoln, I love you and I have watched you grow up from afar, I am so proud of the men you are becoming, one day I will see you again, and I will give you all the attention I haven't been able to. Dawson and ladies. I love you all very much and I am so happy you all have your families. I miss you guys and I will see you when you get here someday, just don't rush it. Finley I told you once you are my forever and I meant it, I will be waiting right here for you when your time comes. I don't mind waiting, so don't you rush either. take care of our boys. Amica mea." William places one last kiss on my lips before he vanishes into thin air. I sob and fall to my knees. Just like that he is gone again.
