Emily's pov
My heart raced as we slowly came upon Samson's location. I tried to think what I would even say to him and tried to caution my heart at his reactions.

I had moved my location only once while I was gone from the coven just to make it easier to have Tyler find me again; as well as making myself a quick escape route should I need it if anything were to go wrong.
I did a fasting prayer ritual praying to Nyx to guide my loved ones safely to me. I gave fast as my sacrifice for this prayer.
When I felt her my heart sang. I slowly moved about the shadow of the empty building toward the entrance. Making sure to stay safely hidden in the darkness in case it was a trap set by the witch. Though I trusted Tyler to do everything he could to carry out this mission I knew little of my brother's powers though enough to know of his and his mother's trickery and deceit, Causing me to stay cautious.
Upon seeing Emily then hearing her whisper my name as only she did "Samson??" as she too was being cautious it would seem. or it was her fear that I was not there but I wouldn't allow her that thought long. I stepped out from the shadows of my hiding spot and upon seeing me she ran into my arms all the while crying as she clung to me I wrapped my arms around her in a soothing warm embrace. Her tears were that of both joy and sorrow. As she made a sound and pulled back with a look as though to apologize I stopped her placing my finger on her lips.
"shhh my love I know Emily I'm so sorry I allowed you to endure all this pain alone I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you or our baby and I'm sorry you and I must now feel our Childs loss. All that matters now though is that you know both of us are alive and together once more and that we both have our health. And for now that we are safe. Though we will have to travel soon to continue that safety. We must leave the territory and the sooner the better."Emily nodded her head against me in agreement. I hugged her and held her close never wanting to feel the loss or even come close to the thought of losing contact physical or otherwise from her again. I never wanted her to feel loss or pain or fear like this and wished I could take it all from her. Take it away from us both.
My brother would pay for the pain he caused my love. Emily had been through enough in her lifetime I made a vow then and there. Once all was done with my brother I would take every measure in the universe to protect her. To keep her happy and safe for the rest of our lives together. She would never shed a tear in such sorrow but only in happiness all the rest of our days.

After everything, I felt safe and happy once more just being in Samson's arms. I felt like the world had once again righted itself. I felt as though I knew we had hope but only as long as we truly had each other only as long as I knew truly he was alright and here in my arms once more. Although I knew our battles were just beginning I also knew we would stand at each other's sides.
Samson told me and the men of a wolf friend one he hadn't spoken to in a while. His friend Gerold, well sorta they had a treaty with him and the wolves though now with his brother in charge it was no longer viable. Though if these wolves had honor and were of the like mind to keep the status quo they would more than likely side with us and help. Gerold's pack was just on the other side of the state so getting there would be tricky time-wise but it was possible. Just getting past boundary lines was another story unless he knew we were coming. As Samson tried to reason out how to contact him I remember Tyler had given me a burner phone when he had I thought it weird to have a few people I didn't recognize but I immediately offered it up to Samson so as to help his dilemma of contact.
Thanking me with a kiss Samson proceeded to call this Gerold as I listened to the conversation one-sided. Still too weak to tap into my own powers, it seemed to be that the wolves agree to meet with us in one hour outside city limits opposite direction from the coven house. This was a good sign to me the more distance from the house the safer I felt as well but only as long as Samson and my family were with me.
We all silently in the night piled back into the van my father Samson, Tyler, Charlotte, and myself. Samson had Tyler drive so that he could hold me. As I was still recovering all this stress and excitement had drained me in every way. I rested on Samson's shoulder and exhaustion to me before we even left the city limits. The silence of our dive and the night gave me peace. The peace was probably due to knowing my loved ones were safe and near me more than anything else in this world. I prayed to the goddess that our futures were to be better from this moment on that all that took place was soon to be mended. I prayed for the goddess' blessing for our future for our endeavors and for our happiness and safety.
The drive once through the city was through highways eventually turning to a road that winded through forest land. There were no longer big signs on the road like on the freeway that told us what the exits were but rather there were just miles and miles of high was markers. as I relaxed myself watching them go by I found myself become slowly drowsy.
