The Return

Theo/Gage's POV

We can't say that we've been as happy as we are at the moment. Everything seems to be going so well. We have the girl of our dreams, we have our family and we haven't heard or seen them in a while. Thing's seem to be picking up for us.

After the wonderful date with Izzy we woke up that morning in pure bliss. She was still asleep, curled into our side. We didn't have the heart to wake her up so we carried her back to the house. We were bombarded with questions once we had closed her door. Mother was the happiest out of everyone, going on about how her baby's growing up.

Speaking of growing up it's Callie's birthday tomorrow. She's so excited to finally shift, hating that she always had to run in human form with the pack. It's not like she was the only one, she just didn't like it. She's also excited that she might meet her mate tonight. That's if he's here. Some people never find their mates, though that's very rare.

Mom and Dad decided to plan her party for tonight so when midnight hits it'll be her birthday. She was all for it.

So here we are, setting up for our baby sister's sixteenth birthday. Even though we weren't there for most of her life, we made her a promise that we'd make it up to her. That earned us a huge hug and a few tears. It warmed our heart to know that she wanted us as her brother.

We look over at the dance floor, seeing Adrian setting it up, along with Toby and Toby's mate. We've noticed that lately, Adrian's been really skittish and uncomfortable. We've tried to talk to him about it but he either changed the topic or told us to drop it. How can he expect us to drop it when he's our best friend? We want to help him, but he can't seem to understand that.

We shouldn't get so worked up but we can't help it.

"Theo, could you please go check on Callie?" Mom asked me as we finished up with the lights. We nod our head and make our way to her room. There's a few more hours before the party but knowing Callie she's already getting ready. As expected, the second we walked in we saw her sitting there, busy with makeup. She turns to us and smiles.

"Hey, quick question. Is this to much?" She asked us, implying to her face. We raised our brow at her and crossed our arms over our chest.

"Callie, does it look like I know about this stuff?" We asked her seriously, while still wearing a smirk. She rolled her eyes at us and was about to reply before the bathroom door opened. We swear our heart stopped as we saw the Angel that walked out of there. She was wearing a white dress, that wasn't to fancy but wasn't to casual either. Her hair was in a fishtail braid that went over her shoulder. We walked towards her, completely shocked.

"You look amazing." We whisper as we step closer to her, wrapping ours arms around her waist. She looks up at us with a slight blush, making her look even more beautiful.

"Alright love birds, if you don't mind I'd like to finish up. So either Theo you leave or the both of you do." Callie suddenly says while smiling at us. We smile and pull Izzy out the room, wanting to show her something.

She questions where we're going but we don't answer her. We pull her into our room and make her sit on the bed. She looks up at us questioningly but says nothing. We walk to our dresser and pull out the small box. We turn to face her and she see's the small box.

"T-Theo?"

"Now don't panic. It's not what you might think, well, not yet anyways. Izzy, ever since I have met you, you have saved me. You may not realise you have but you did. Anytime I was around you, I forgot about all my worries, about all my demons. You saved me and I can't tell you how much that means to me. I may not have known you as long as Beau did. I know people say you can't know in such a short amount of time, but I do Izzy. I know how I feel about you." She stands there not saying anything, waiting for us to finish. We take in a deep breath and open the box. She gasps as she looks down at the small necklace.

"I love you Izzy."

We say and take the necklace out. We walk behind her and she moves her hair out the way. We place the necklace around her neck and run our hands down her shoulder. We kiss her cheek then pull back. She turns around and faces us, a huge smile present on her face.

"I love you too Theo. Thank you so much." She says and wraps her arms around us. We pull her closer and place our lips softly onto her's.

We lied, now we couldn't possibly be happier.

"Hey-Oh well, this was something to not walk in on." We hear Adrian say from behind us. We pull apart and playfully glare over at him. He shrugs and tell us to get dressed. Izzy walks out the door but not before kissing our cheek.

We quickly shower and get dressed, knowing the party will start soon. After fitting on our clothes we style up our hair and take a look at ourselves. We smile when we're pleased with our appearance and walk out the room. We head down and find everyone outside.

Everyone is chatting away, having a few good laughs before we hear mother's voice on the speakers.

"Everyone, please give a warm welcome to my baby girl, Callie." Everyone burts out in cheers and she walks out the house in a stunningly beautiful red dress. We notice a few guy's staring to much but smirk when Callie pays them no mind.

The party is in full swing now, with everyone having the time of their lives. Drinking, talking, dancing. Overall, the party looks to be like a complete success.

"Theo, meet us in the woods now!"

We hear her yell in our head. We growl and try to resist her order but the medallion shocks us making us gasp. We begin to make our way into the woods, trying not to be noticed by anyone.

As we begin to walk we hear a snap behind us. We growl and turn around, ready to attack the intruder, but immediately stop when we see who it is.

"What are you doing Theo?" Izzy asks us, trying to come near us. We take a step back, not wanting her to get to close.

"Stay back Izzy." We growl out, clenching our jaw from the pain the medallion's giving us. She continues to walk near us, not complying with our demand.

"Theo whats wrong?"

"Please just get away from me Izzy. I don't want you too see me like this." We suddenly cried out, the medallion felt like it was burning through our skin.

"I'm not gonna leave you like this Theo." She says and places her hand on our shoulder. We growl at her, making her jump back.

"Leave before you see the monster."

"Theo, you are not a monster."

"Yes I am, and if you see that side of me, you'll hate me."

"I could never hate you Theo."

"Hello Izzy. So good to see you again. Though you will hate him, I mean who wouldn't, he did kill your parents."

They spoke.
