**John POV: **
After Abrams made it clear he won't accept that Bastet is dead nor will he retire. I had to change my plans; I had been searching for proof that Bastet is alive. While going over the preparation for the pending war it dawned on me that I left the heat indicator on at the house in town. I won't be able to see how was there but I can see how many and maybe make out if Bastet is with them. Once I am at my room I log in to the system and rewind to the day McKee got a call.
There are five heat indicators three of them are defiantly non-human. There are two humans and a baby. Why the hell would humans be with werewolves and had a baby with them? I know we told the women that were left town how to contact us. It just seems weird that wolves would be with them.
I can't make out if any of those bodies are Bastet damn it. If she is alive, it means my head and maybe my uncle's head to I can't let that happen. Fuck I need to tell my uncle what I did. By me telling him about my treason it put him at risk also. Nevertheless, I go to his office to chat. I don’t want to do this but my guilt and paranoia are making me and my uncle is all I have.
“Uncle got a minute”, I said as I enter his office and close the door.
“Sure, I was just going over the map of the pack lands trying to find a way to get in unnoticed”, he said.
“Uncle I need to tell you something. But you need to know if you hear what I have to say you will be committing treason”, I said and he looked up at me in shock.
“Well, so you are finally going to tell me what really happened”, he said with a raised eyebrow.
“Are you sure you want to hear what I have to say?”, I asked.
“Let's talk outside”, he said then got up.
We left the association and walked into the surrounding mountains. The walk was long, I figured he wanted to be away from prying eyes. I was shocked to see that there is a table and chairs. Uncle must come here a lot, he told me to sit and I did.
“Before we start our truth talk, I have a secret I need to tell you”, he said looking up at the sky.
“Uncle whatever it is I am all ears”, I said looking at him.
“I know you left your family outside the saferoom to die”, he said.
“Uncle...I...I”, I try to say something but I couldn’t.
“Son, I don’t blame you, you were a kid. Your untrained will to survive kicked in and you did what you had to do. That’s why I took you in to train you so no one would take away your will to protect again”, he said and I was shocked.
“You have been holding this in all this time?”, I asked
“Yes, now time to tell me what happened to Bastet”, he ordered in a calm tone.
I took a deep breath and told him everything that happened that day. If he guessed it that mean he might not be the only one. He just sat there and listened to me pour my heart out, like a sinner to a priest. I cried so hard because I did love her with everything I had, snapped isn't the world that happened that day. Uncle waited until I stopped crying and looked at me.
“John, she was your wife. You had other options you could have divorced her”, my uncle said with a sigh.
“My finger got heavy on the trigger when I saw them kiss Uncle. I couldn’t take it. I couldn't take her whorish ways anymore”, I said starting to cry again.
“If she is alive, you will be executed as a traitor”, my uncle said.
“I know uncle ", I said worriedly.
“You don’t get it nephew you killed our future commander and chief who is a woman. You know our law no women and no children are harmed. Your death won't be quick and easy and neither will mine”, he said.
“No uncle you don’t have to tell them I told you", I said almost shouting.
“I knew something horrible happened when we had to go look for you. And I figure you were responsible for her death”, he said.
“How?”, I was shocked to hear him say that.
“You wouldn’t look any one in the eyes when you told the story. Also, you were on the verge of tears as well”, he said.
“If it was that obvious to you. Then others might have picked it up as well”, I said combing my finger through my hair.
We spoke some more I must say it felt like a weight was taking off my shoulders. I just feel bad that my uncle has to bear some of the weight. Because of me, he is betraying the association and one of his best friends. Leave it to him to know what I did and not judge me for it. If Bastet is alive, I will not beg for forgiveness or my life but I will beg for my uncles. We walked back to the association and went our separate ways. Unfortunately, I bumped into McKee.
“You seem better”, he said with a hint of disgust.
“Well, I am not I miss MY wife every day”, I said getting pissed off at him.
“Really because the only people that have been going in her room are me and Abrams”, he said.
“I don’t need to be in her room to mourn her. I have this", I said then lift my hand showing him my ring finger.
“You that ring made her yours”, he said with a smirk.
“Yes, because this ring shows she made her choice even though she could have or maybe should have chosen you but she didn't, she chose me. And I lover still, you will never understand how I feel about that day. So, FUCK OFF”, I said then went to my room
“Careful, John", he said in a tone I didn't like.
“No, you careful. Rather Abrams retire now or later I will still be Commander and Chief when he does”, I said with a smirk then I opened my door and walked inside.
