touch him. “I have kept my cool and tried to respect you, but it stops now. Where is he? How could you do this when you know what a threat he is to our wife?” The demon spit out each word slowly, never taking his eyes off of his father.
    Beside his father, Michael, Tamara’s father growled. His grandfather tried to move in between them, but his father would not budge. “You need to step back, Lars. We’re not going to get answers if you are in your father's face. Now son.” His grandfather’s strong hand landed on his shoulder and squeezed.
    For one minute Lars almost lost control and his father knew it as he sucked in his breath and waited.
    “Okay big boy, what have you done now?” Tamara appeared next to him and sighed. “You really need to calm down. Don’t think I’m not still pissed, but going after your father is not going to help anyone.” She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. “Please, I have enough to deal with right now. Don’t add this to my sins, because we both know he’ll blame me.” She looked up at him as tears shimmered in her eyes. Not even the demon could stand to see the sadness there.
    He swept her down the hall, away from his family. “I thought you were angry with us.” He hugged her tight, all the while he kept his eyes on his father. Gage stood next to them, but he too never took his attention off Lars’ father.
    “Lars…” She kissed his chest. “I might be pissed off, and I mean really pissed off, but I will always be there for you two, no matter what. I love you, both. Now what’s wrong? Is it about your brother?”
    She looked up at him and he could see the terror in her eyes. “He won’t touch you if he’s awake, I guarantee you, but for now I don’t want you to worry. Go with Lydia and spend some time with mom. I know she loves visiting with you.” He kissed the top of her head. “Thank you, Tamara.”
    “Anytime, demon boy,” she teased him and disappeared, her laughter filling the hall.
    His father, grandfather and Michael walked over to them. “Are you ready to tell us what is going on?” Alton asked.
    “Alex is not where Father placed him. He’s gone.” Lars watched the stunned reaction from his grandfather and father.
    “There… this cannot be. I personally put him in his room and locked the door.” His father turned and headed towards the cellar where Alex had been.
    “He’s not there. One of my guards went to check on him and he’s gone,” Gage said as they made their way down there.
    “Did she check the room? Maybe there’s some clue as to what happened? I didn’t awaken him, Edward. I wouldn’t do that,” his father glanced back over his shoulder and Lars knew he was telling the truth.
    But if he hadn’t awakened him…Who had? He stopped and turned to Gage. “Mom!” With his stomach in his chest, he latched onto Gage and they appeared in the kitchen. The three women looked up at him and frowned.
    “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Tamara got up and came to  him as she scanned his body for any injury.
    He and Gage put her between them as he started at his mom. She rose, taking a sip of her favorite coffee. “You’re here to ask if I woke your brother.”
    “Well, did you?” Lars hated asking her, but he had no choice.
    “No, but we had a problem the other night. At first we thought nothing of it, that it was one of the stupid men pulling their pranks on us.” His father, grandfather and Michael came into the room.
    At once Trevor went to his wife and turned to glare at his son. “You should know better than to accuse your mother. She’s been nothing but supportive for your wife.”
    His mom patted his arm. “Hush, dear. He has every right to be concerned, especially with her carrying our first grandchild.”
    Standing next to them, Tamara glared up at Lars and he smiled, leaning down to nip her nose. “Sweetheart, they could have easily scanned your body to see the little one settled
