Callie's POV

"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Robs asks me over the phone. To be honest, the idea of travelling two days with Adrian in a car, did not sound appealing. I'd rather sleep in a snake pit than travel with him, but I'm doing this for the sake of my kids and for Izzy and Theo. I can't deny that since Adrian and I made our deal last night, that he hasn't tried. He has. This morning him and the boys were out in the garden, playing. It was quiet comical to watch him playing horsy.

"Callie?" I suddenly snap out of my thoughts at Rob's voice.

"Yeah, I'm here. Sorry was just thinking. I don't know Rob, I can see that he's trying but then there's a part of me that just wishes he would disappear. I know that sounds harsh but, just simply thinking about him brings back bad memories." I explain, sitting down on the couch, frowning sadly. I can hear people running around the house, doing some last minute packing. Izzy instructed that everyone leave by ten. I had already packed they boy's and I's things, so now I was just relaxing.

"Callie we're leaving soon." I hear Theo say inside my head. I gave him a reply back before standing up and heading upstairs. I grab all three bags in my grasp and make the mission to get them downstairs. I struggle and am just about to drop one bag but someone caught it. I looked up and saw Adrian, wearing his usual frown.

"Thank you." I say to him. He says nothing, only nods and walks down. I roll my eyes at his behaviour, having gotten use to it in these few days. I walk out and set the bags down in the trunk of the car. I look around and notice the boys with Dad. I walk over and they run over to me. 

"M-Mommy! Grandpa says we can ride with him and Grandma! Can we please? Can we? Can we? Can we?" They ask simultaneously, looking up at me with puppy dog eyes. I smile, nodding down at them.

"As long as Grandma's okay with it, it's fine with me. But go ask your Dad first." I say to them with a small smile. Even though I didn't get my way, I would still try and count Adrian in. It's only right if we are going to sort our conflict out. They thank me before running over to Adrian, begging him as well. They soon return, large smiles present on their faces.

"He said yes!" They cheer happily and I can't help but shake my head down at them. I walk them over to my parents car, watching them climb in. I buckle them up, kissing each ones head.

"You be good. If I hear that the both of you were naughty no dessert tonight. Understood?" They nod their heads and I smile. I pull back and close the door, walking over to my parents.

"You planned this didn't you?" I say, already knowing my parents tricks.

"What? What are you talking about?" They say, pretending to be innocent. I roll my eyes, kissing their cheeks and walking over to Adrian's car. He climbs in, ignoring everyone around us. Theo walks over to his window, probably talking to him. I stand next to Izzy, who is also watching the two.

"I still can't help but wonder what happened." I say, remembering all the times that Adrian was around, you'd only see a smile. Now, I don't think he's smiled once, unless he's with the boys, but even then that's a small grin. Izzy sighs and runs a hand through her hair.

"It's not my story to tell Callie. All I can say, is that he trusts no one. Not even Theo anymore." She looks at me sadly before walking over to Theo, wrapping her arms around him, pecking his lips. I frown sadly as I watch the both of them, wanting that. I am perfectly capable of living on my own, but I do crave the attention of someone special. But it never works. No one makes me happy.

I shake my head, ridding the depressing thoughts before walking to the car, opening the door and climbing in. I buckle up and look over at Adrian, who's just staring out the window. I go to speak but think better of it. I lean back against the chair, looking out my window as he starts the car, pulling out of the driveway. We eventually drive past the pack borders, heading up to this magnificent venue that Izzy has been going on about. She wouldn't tell us what it looked like but went on and on about how beautiful it is. What we do know is that it's in another pack, and we'll be staying there for a couple days.

The silence soon becomes awkward and I make a move to turn the radio on but Adrian smacks my hand away from it. I gasp and look up at him with a glare.

"What the hell was that for?" I ask as he sits back in his chair, focusing on the road again. He doesn't answer, so I try again and he suddenly grabs my hand. I try to ignore the sparks I get from his touch, focusing on his glare. He pulls the car over and I watch three cars pass us by, one being my parents'.

"This is my car. I don't want the radio on. We're not allowed to listen to music." He states, before releasing my hand, pulling away from the side and driving once again. I ignore his words, having no idea what he could mean. It's just music. Whats the harm in that?

"Fine. You don't want to listen to music, then we'll talk. Why did you not want me as a mate?" I say to him with a glare. He looks at me at the corner of his eye.

"How does this have anything to do with our sons-"

"You're the reason we're not a family Adrian. You started all of this. I want to know why you'd rather have someone else, other than your mate." He growls at the mention of 'someone else', his hands around the wheel tightening.

"I didn't want one. That's it. No more questions." He says snaps at me, but I don't give in.

"You want to be in their lives! So just explain Adrian! We're trying to sort this out, but if you won't tell me anything then might as well turn this damn car around. Just tell me-"

"It's none of your business-"

"It does when it concerns our children!" I yell at him, feeling my wolf becoming enraged at him. His eyes flash between black and normal, but I couldn't care less if his wolf was pissed.

"Because of my Father. I won't say anymore. If I wanted to tell you about my past, I would have." He growls out, not looking at me.

"You probably told Emily-" He suddenly swerves to the side, stopping before snapping his head in my direction.

"Don't you ever mention that woman again!" He yells before climbing out of the car, running into the woods and shifting in mid air. I watch in shock and also annoyance as he leaves me here. I cross my arms over my chest before climbing out and sitting in the drivers seat.

"No way am I waiting here the whole day." I mumble to myself before starting the car and driving to a nearby Motel. As I continue to drive I can't help to wonder what his Father had done to him, that made Adrian like that. Though he wasn't like that in the beginning. In the beginning he was so happy and full of life, that is until something had happend. And I believe it has something to do with Emily.
