Ariella but also open to anyone It had been a good few weeks since the whole wheelchair issue and things had definitely changed since then. Mostly at the Guild, the major one being that Lu had taken out the foundation on her house and moved her entire house to the Guild territory, so now she lived next door to it with her twins. Tayla and John were rambunctious toddlers that ran around the Guild and were a massive work out for Lu. Tayla and John both had Lu's fiery red hair, which Lu loved, but Tayla had Shade's eyes and John had Lu's. They were so cute and everyone loves them especially Marie. Westly had changed physically. He had buffed up and bulked up since the woman he hoped loved him left. A few days ago Lu held his hand while Marie cut the mate mark. It really hurt him because it was an hold mark and when it was done, he was sad, but ready to change. He re-enrolled in the Guild and when his leg was fixed he went back to training. He also got his tattoo on his arm lazered off. Westly was now bulkier, fitter and stronger. He had also gone on a few assassin jobs, not caring if he got hurt. He was also the twins Godfather. Lu had gotten the Guild's lawyer to draw up divorce papers and in it, it basically said that they'd go their separate ways, no splitting of money or stuff and that they'd keep their own stuff. Lu gave it to West when it was done and he signed it without a second thought. He then gave it to a courier to send to his soon to be ex wife. Lena was still in her electric wheelchair and still had very little feeling in her legs. Kenneth had turned into her helper. He'd carry her to bed, the bath, into the swimming pool and he helped her with her rehabilitation. He'd spend nights massaging her legs to get some feeling back. Lu had taken over the Guild again and Harvey became her second hand. Lu had changed the Guild passcodes, locks and keys. Lena spent all her time with the twins, Tate and mostly Kenneth. Tate was now almost 16 and had his wolf, which was just like his mum's, thankfully. It had been painful for Lena because she couldn't shift with him. Tate was now being taught about the Guild and being an assassin. He was turning into a wonderful young man. Lu hadn't seen anyone from the pack since she had moved. She had told them when she had gotten settled but she wondered if they'd come and see the twins. Lu shrugged off the thought and got back to work.

Ariella was on her way to the Guild to see how Lena was doing, and Solaria was tagging along. The girl had wanted to see Tate, as she hadn't in quite a while. Solaria was dressed in a yellow dress that went to just above her knees and held a clutch purse of the same brilliant hue. Ariella was dressed in a baby blue version of the same dress.
The drive to the guild wasn't really a long one, considering how Solaria drove like a mnadwoman, especially when it meant that she'd get to see Tate. Ariella was used to it, though, and just smirked, happy she was alive. If it was anyone different - Lunetta, for example - they'd be praying to whatever gods existed and clutching their seat. But not Ariella. Ari was so used to this that, by the time they got to the Guild, she just got out of the Impala and walked up to the gate, sans vertigo.
The older woman walked up to the buzzer, clicked it and said "Hey, all, it's Ari. Solaria's with me as well. Mind if we come in?" She said all this in a cheerful tone, happy to be here.
Inside the Guild, Jordan was playing a video game. Yeah, he was covered in blood but he'd shower before - before the buzzer went off. Crap. He heard the thing, then went to open the gates and the door.
"Thank you, Jordan," Ariella said as she walked in, smiling. Solaria thanked him as well and made a beeline for wherever Tate was - she could smell him. 'Sweetie, I'm here,' she sent through the mate link.

((Tate doesn't know she's his mate till Monday lol)
Lu didn't mind that Ari was here, it was a nice distraction from the work load. Lu got up and made her way downstairs. Lu had buffed up as well and was back to being slim.
Lena heard the commotion of people turn up and Kenneth picked her up from the floor, she'd been playing with the twins, and put her back into her chair. She clicked the seat belt and Kenneth placed tayla in Lena's arm and held John while they went downstairs.
Tate and Westly were in the workout room, sparing off with each other and learning techniques. Tate was holding his own and doing well.
"Hey Ari." Lu said as she came down the stairs. Just as she got to the bottom, the elevator bell dinged signalling that Lena had arrived. Lena pushed the button on her chair and moved it over to her mother. Kenneth followed behind. John and Tayla were let go and ran over to their mother.
"Mama, sissy played dinosaurs with us and she has the t-rex." Tayla said and Lena smiled at her sister while her mother leaned down and kissed Tayla's forehead.
"Sounds like fun." Lu kissed John's forehead too. "Id like you two to meet aunty Ari and Sola."
"Tate is in the workout room with Westly." Lu said to Sola.
"Hi Aunt Ari." Lena said with a smile.
"Let's go get West, poor boy needs a rest, done nothing but workout, fight and go on missions. He's going to get himself killed and who can blame him after what happened. He's been out almost every night and comes back smelling of a different woman but after what happened I really can't blame him." Lu shook her head. "I'm just glad I'm in here. West, the twins, Jordan and I are safer in here. No more hurt or pain." Lu said as she started to walk towards where Sola had ran off.
Lena followed behind in her chair with John on her lap and Lu had a hold of Tayla. Kenneth was following Lena.

Ariella knew that Lu wouldn't mind her being there. She probably needed the distraction from whatever had happened while Ari was doing her own thing and leaving Lu to do hers.
She smiled and walked in past Jordan, greeting the young Assassin as well as everyone else. She watched as Lena came down with two gorgeous twins. She could tell whose they were because of the brilliant red hair. "Lu, they're gorgeous," she complimented her friend. She watched the twins interact with their mother and smiled."Hello, children," she said after being introduced. "Hello, Lena," she greeted the young woman
Sola nodded and went to the room, smiling. She was happy to get to see her mate, and simply couldn't wait.
Ariella followed as well, not knowing that her own mate was close by. "Oh dear," she said, with genuine concern when Lupita talked about Westly working himself to the bone. "I hope he stops hurting himself like that... That ain't good for a person." She sighed and held onto hope that everything was fine, or would be soon.

Lu smiled at Ari when she commented on the twins and Lu loved her twins and the fact that they were so opposite in personality, but she was so thankful that at least 2 of her children had her hair colour. Will looked like his dad, and speaking of William he was off at uni with MK and Lu's grandbaby while he learnt to be a doctor, and Lena had Riley's hair colour.
"Thank you, they are as rambunctious as Shade and I are, we can't keep them calm." Lu said as she ruffled John's red curls.
"Hello." Both the twins said to Ari at the same time before running off to find Tate. tate was technically their nephew, but they just called him Tate.
Lena smiled at Ari and Kenneth stood besides her. Lena just followed her mother.
"True, for a normal person. We grew up in this life. But he is being massively reckless and it's because he's been badly hurt, we all have." Lu said as she looked at Lena. Lu walked into the workout room where Tate and Westly were. They'd stopped working out when Sola came in.
"Hey guys." Westley panted as he wiped his forehead. He was topless and covered in sweat. Tate smiled at Sola and wiped his forehead with a towel too. He was topless too and he went over to put his on. Westly didn't care.
Westly had a few new cuts on him but they were almost healed and so he didn't mind them.
Tate went over to his mother first and knelt down in front of her, kissing her hands.
"How are you doing today, mother?" He asked.
"Fine, mi nino, I'm fine. I had hydrotherapy this morning and they ran some tests to see how my brain was firing when it came to my legs and it's still very little."
"you'll walk again soon, mama."
"Let's hope." Tate got up, kissed his mother's head and then went over to Sola.
"Hey Sola, how's things?"
"West, come say hi to Ari." Lu ordered and West came over, standing in front of her.
"Hey Ari, how's things?" West asked. "It's good to see you again." Westly smiled and dropped his water bottle because of his sweaty hands.
"Butter fingers." Lu laughed.

Ari smiled back at Lu and saw the love for her babies in the woman's eyes. They definitely took after her in the appearance department, that was for sure. She giggled as her friend described how energetic they wrere, smiling. "I'm not sure if you remember, but my children were always like that. James is still as sweet as cherry pie, and Hayden has definitely turned over a new leaf, but Rose... Well, I don't think I can say much. You're a great mother, Lu, that I know." She smiled at her friend and followed her into the workout room. She saw the two men shirtless, but her attention wasn't really drawn to Tate, for the most part. Her focus was on Westly. his chiseledchest, his abs... all of it made her swoon on the inside. I can understand how you got all your mannerisms and such, especially after living the lifestyle you have. To each their own, though." She smiled at her friend.
Solaria watched the scene between mother and son, smiling at how sweet her mate was. She knew he had always been like that, biit it was so cute wayching him interact with Lena. "Hey, Tate. I'm good, how are you? Working hard, I see?" She retained the smile, just simply happy to see him happy.
Ariella sighed and looked at the fresh cuts on Westly's body. She trsked and sighed. "Westly Quinn... what have you done to yourself?" she said in fake scolding.. "I see you're woking hard, though. That's good. As for me, I'm fine. Still wondering where the heck my daughter ran off to after James' wedding, but y'know... cest la vie, right? Enough about me, though. How've you been?" She couldn't help but giggle as she watched him. She picked up the bottle and handed it to him.
Jordan came into the workout room as well, after showering. He was already dressed in a pair of Silver brand jeans and a t-shirt. He was going to take Astrid on a date in town. He looked at Lu, then Lena, greeting the people in the room collectively. "Hey, all," he said. before looking at Lena and continuing, "How you doing, Lena? Feeling a little better every day? You definitely look better" He smiled at her, then looked down so he could put his watch on.
((Jordan and his mate are soooo cute! Like impossibly adorable lol Sorry this took so terribly long lol))

Lu loved her twins so much and she knew that moving them to the Guild would be the best thing for them. They would be safe and she was cut off from the world.
"Yes, I've found that multiples play off each other and reek more havoc." Lu chuckled as she looked at the Twins who walked side by side while holding hands.
"I'm good, Sola. Yeah, moved on from normal school and on to Guild school like I said before, all this will be mine one day." Tate said as he took a swig of his drink.
"Nothing I can't handle." Westley panted as he wiped sweat off his forehead. "Been taking each day as it comes." Westly admitted.
Westly smiled at Ari as he took the bottle off of her and brushed his fingers against hers. Then his heart stopped because he felt the unmistakable tingles of a mate and he hated fate right then. He'd just lost his last mate to another man and now he had a new one. He didn't know if he could take another one. He was broken and he was in pieces. He was scared if he was honest, he didn't want to get hurt again. He stood still and stared at Ari.

Ari could tell that Lu loved her twins very much. She was just like that. She smiled and watched the kids, happy to see little children again. "Their energetic nature reminds me of every child I've either witnessed being raised, or my own kids. We were friends when they were kids, right? They were so rambunctious, it was insane." Ariella chuckled. "Oh, don't I know that," she said in a cheery tone.
Solaria smiled. "That's wonderful, sweetie. As for the Guild, you'll be a great leader one day. I know it." Solaria was so proud of her mate, and she'd only get prouder as time went on.
"Alright, if you insist," Ariella said, retaining the smile she had from before. Westly was awesome, that much she knew. But she didn't think from what Lu had said, that he was pacing himself. "You should take a bit of a break, get some electrolytes in you, and some food." When their fingers brushed against each other, Ariella blushed and gasped. Those tingles were the unmistakable sign of a mate. She had the same fears, though. She had had her heart broken before and didn't want it to happen again. But since it was Westly, she figured she'd give it a shot. Ari smiled, the blush still on her cheeks. "Well, um... I have to say, I'm, um... surprised is the word I'm looking for, I suppose," she said softly, looking up at him in shock and nervousness.

Lu knew that the twins were the most energetic children she'd ever had and would be there for each other, they already worked so well together.
"Ari, we've been friends since Will was a baby in arms and now he has a son himself." Lu said to her with a smile. Lu was slowly becoming more who she was after all the shit she'd been through in the last two years, but she was also retaining qualities of LIFE and she knew if she became too much of who she was years ago, it could spell disaster.
"I hope so, mum and grandma have made such great leaders." Tate smiled at his mother and grandmother. "I'm in training to be an assassin at the moment. Need to learn the inside before I can take control." Tate said and he was excited about going on his first mission when he turns 16.
"That's what this is, kid needs a break." Westly chuckled.
"Whatever uncle West."
Westly saw that Ari felt it too so it wasn't a fluke and she was his mate. "Yeah me too." Westly said as he ran a shaky hand through his hair. "Look, if you want to give this a go, I will too, but I'll be taking it slow because I've just been broken, left and hurt and I'm going through a divorce, but I'll give it a go if you want to, it's up to you." Westly gave a sly smile.

Ariella smiled at her friend, watching the twins as well. She could tell they got along well.
"Oh, right. Dang, I feel old now," Ariella said, chuckling. She loved that she was able to see her friend. "I remember when my kids were wee. Do you remember how Hayden went around and just said hi to everyone?" Ari smiled at the memory. It was one of the best.
Solaria smiled and watched her mate speak, showing he was important to her. "I think you'll make a great leader, Tate, sweetheart," she reassured him. At Tate's comment to westly, she giggled.
Ariella smiled. "Yeah, I agree. You both look right parched." When he agreed that he was feeling surprised, she nodded. She nodded again when he asked if she wanted to try being mates, and her eyes lit up with a spark she had though had since left them. "Yeah, we can give it a go. I've missed having a mate, to be honest, and you're a really nice guy, Westly. So of course I ain't gonna pass up this chance. I truly am sorry about your divorce, though. I promise I'll treat ya right." She returned the smile, simply happy to be here with her mate. How happy she was to finally say that. "I just wanna ask one think, Westly," she said, her smile falling at the thought of her daughter.

"Imagine how I feel with 2 grandsons." Lu chuckled as she thought of her 15 and 3 year old grandsons. How time has flown.
Tate actually blushed at what Sola said and he tried to hide it. He dabbed his face and neck. "Thanks, I just hope mum gets back on her feet soon. It's been ages."
"Unfortunately I should not have married her when she loves another man. Could only really end in divorce." Westly shrugged. "But now I have a second chance." Westly admitted. He was scared but excited too about his new beginning. "I don't doubt that and I'll treat you right too." anyone who knew Westly knew that now that he had a mate, he'd be faithful, he'd love only her and be by her side through it all. "You can ask me anything."

Ariella chuckled. "Oh, I can imagine, Lu. Even though I only have one grandson." Her mind went to Wren, who sometimes came for tea.
Solaria watched Tate blushed, thinking it was cute. At what he said, she responded "I'm sure she will eventually. I'll keep on hoping as well. She's a really nice young woman."
Ariella listened as her mate spoke, her heart sinking. She brushed her fingers on his hand lightly. "I know how it feels to lose someone you love. Perhaps not, in the same way, but I still know," she said kindly. At his reply to treating her right, she smiled. "That's good. I know you will, anyway." His question about what she wanted made her heart sink. But she answered anyway. "My daughter... Rose... she's missing, and I need to find her... I need help, though, as Hayden has been helping, but he can only do so much. I need as many people as possible, but I don't know who else to ask. If you're busy, though, that's fine." She smiled. "I don't mean to plead or whatever. " She smiled still, happy to be with her mate.
((Hopefully that's good enough XD))

Lu just looked at her children and then when they were in the work out room, she looked over at her eldest grandson. She did sometimes wonder if her children would have any more children or if this was it, but with Will having a mate, she doubted that he would have just one and she hoped the twins would have mates that stuck by them like Will did and not Lena's.
Tate loved his mother and he had prayed more than anything that she hadn't been hurt like this and that she would walk, but wishing when it came to the past was useless because it was done and dusted. Tate just had to focus on doing what he could to help his mum and right now this meant helping his grandma and Uncle West.
Westly and Lu listened to what Ari had to say and they both felt bad for her, but couldn't help but wonder why they didn't ask them ages ago because the Guild has been here for ages. She could have come to them ages ago.
"Ari, sweetie, why didn't you come to us earlier? The Guild has been here for years, we'd have helped you when she first went missing." Lu told her.
"Yeah, but of course we'll help you. Let me just get washed and changed and we'll meet in Lu's office. That okay?" Westly asked her.

Ari smiled at Lu, watching all the children that were in the room. John and Tayla were just freaking adorable, Tate had grown so much since she last saw him, and Jordan had definitely gained some serious muscle, and height too.
Solaria smiled and watched her mate, knowing that Tate loved his mother and would do anything he could to help her heal. He had such a set mind, even for such a young kid, and Solaria admired that.
Ariella sighed. "Lu, hon, I told you that day we visited after your return. Least I thought I did..." She chuckled and smiled, beginning to feel embarrassed. "She went missing much before that, and I didn't know where you were at the time." A blush rose on her cheeks, deep and red. She did like how they were listening, though. They were those kind of people.
"Thank you, Westly, and Lu as well," she said happily. "Sounds like a plan. I just really want my daughter back, sarcasm and all." She sighed at the though of her daughter. "You guys are the best," she said, smiling.
((I think that's everything XD))

Lu knew that Ari had spoken of her daughters disappearance but she had never asked for help. Lu always thought that Ari Had some sort of thing in place to try to find her or at least the Alpha.
"You never asked for help, you know if you'd have asked sooner we'd have helped. Come with me to the office." Lu said to Ari as she turned back towards the door. "Tate, get showered and changed, this is your first mission, but it's inside jobs like IT and surveillance."
"Sure, sounds great." Tate beamed. "I'll get showered." He said as he smiled at Sola and ran off to the showers with Westly.
"Lena, you have physio now, so off you go."
"I want to help."
"Get better first." Lu warned and Lena wheeled off in a grumble to her physio appointment with Kenneth.
"Let's go to my office and get down all that you know." Lu said as she walked out of the workout room, up the stairs and into what was her daughters office, which is now hers. Lu sat down behind the desk and smiled at Ari.
Lu fired up the computer and started a new job file. She set in some details she knew like who it was for, the person they were after, dob and more. All she needed to write now was disappearance details.
"Okay, tell me all that you know. Leave out nothing." Lu said.
