A.O

Chapter 7

I skidded to a stop, causing leaves to swirled around my fur.

I turned around in a fighting stance, ready to attack whoever who's been following me.

A dark brown wolf stood before me, I could feel the power radiated off him.

Rouges can't have that much power, could they?

When I looked back up the wolf was already gone. Instead I see a familiar brown eyed guy who argued over Jerry with me.

I quickly ran behind a large tree, shifting back, wearing whoever clothes that the pack members had left.

"Caleb?" I questioned sceptically, why would he be here? "Hey Luna." He smiled, showing his white teeth.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, at the same time remembering my task at hand, finding Xander.

"Rouges alert has been high this few weeks, and as the Beta of this pack I'm just making sure the future Luna is safe."

I nodded not caring about the fact that he didn't tell me he’s the Beta previously. Partly because my mind is stuck with the thoughts about Xander, did I miss him? As in lost him not missing him, I argued with my heart which is stupid really.

"Okay, follow me if you want, let's go." I rushed out shifting back to my wolf, Zara.

I can't mind-linked him as I'm not officially in the pack yet.

Running and dodging pass trees, I followed the faint scent of Xander, with Caleb hot on my trails.

I don't know how long we've run, but I saw a small cabin ahead. Why would a cabin be way up here on top of a hill?

I went behind a tree to shift back so does Caleb, I doubt Xander would want me to be naked in front of a male, would he?

"Stay here." I said in a statement, stating that there is no space for arguments, I needed the privacy.

He was about to argue but when he sees the determination in my eyes, pride shone in his eyes as he nods, "Yes Luna."

Murmuring a thank you, I went higher up the hill to the cabin where Xander's scent is the strongest.

Even though as an Omega my physical was weak but my sense of smelling was very good, instead higher than the average, sadly my pack overlooked that, their loss.

I panted as I climbed higher, the more the gravity pushed me down.

I stood about 10 steps away from the cliff edge, where Xander is sitting, with his back slumped.

I'm afraid that the unbalance weight his body is acting, he would fall front without realizing.

Wow, I actually cared so much for him.

Slowing walking towards him, trying to lighten my footsteps as light as possible with my barefoot.

"Xander..." I whispered out, afraid of his reaction.

He doesn't move an inch, just continued sitting in his depressed form.

But I knew he heard me.

Signing I went over beside him, not caring that the loud crunching of the leaves beneath my feet echoed through the forest.

I plopped down gently beside him, making sure that I don't looked down, instead focusing on his face, which is set in a deep frown.

And it causes a tugging to erupt in my heart.

Before I even speak out a word, he beat me to it.

"I'm sorry Catalonia." He said in a gruffly voice like his been crying. Now that I said it, I could see dry up tears staining his face.

I stared at him dumbfounded, "For what?"

"I’m sorry for treating you the way I did and for saying those hurtful words, I’m really sorry.” He said staring at me as newfound tears began to brimmed his beautiful emerald eyes.

He looked so vulnerable, his eyes swirled with guilt, regret and nervousness.

"Why? You know it's wrong then why did you do it?" I said, my own tears starting to formed.

Emotions wired itself in me, hurt being the strongest, whilst anger not so far back.

He paused for a while, conflicting within himself.

I guess I got tired, "It's okay." I said sighing, guess we're not up to that step yet.

"No!"

He shouts out, grabbing my wrist as I was standing up. I looked at him, waiting for him to say something.

A loud growl rippled through the air, our heads turn towards the bottom of the hill and faintly sees the silhouette of a few wolves.

Xander looked at me and said a 'later' with his lips as we ran towards the scent of many unknowns.

Rouges.

That's was when I realized that Caleb was down there, waiting for me. Guilt started to pool within me, as I pushed my legs to run faster.

Even though I had only spent a few hours with him I already felt a special bond with him, a brother kind of bond.

"Stay here." Xander ordered as he shifts into his midnight wolf, joining the fight with about ten wolves or so.

Caleb's brown wolf has multiple scratches here and there but nothing serious so far.

Xander, with his fast agility and speed I could barely locate him, but I know that he will be fine.

A sharp pained erupted at my back, I stumbled forward due to the force.

"Fuck." I growled-whimpered.

This is not the time to cry Lonia.

I turned around as I heard footsteps making its way towards me. Like I said I have good hearings.

My eyes widen, seeing a rouge with yellow eyes looking crazily at me, with his saliva dripping from his jaws.

When wolves have yellow eyes, it means that they have lost their sanity both human and wolves.

They are just an empty shell that act as a weapon for attacks.

Zara

No matter what happens, I love you.

Me too.

Let's fight the best fight yet.

With that and a smirk, I shifted into my wolf, going in circle with the rouge, seeing who would attack first.

If I die, at least I would die trying.

Sounds weak I know.

The rogue, let's name him dirt-bag came attacking me at the side. I skid to the left, causing me to almost lost my balance, gosh I suck.

Not a second later he jumped straight into me, tackling me to the ground. I didn't even bother to struggle, as I use my claws to cut his side flesh.

Dirt-bag groans in pain, I took that chance, using my hinged leg to rear him in the stomach.

Damn his heavy, I rolled to the side, giving Zara control.

Go!

Our adrenaline ran high as we tackled him.

The burn on my cheeks, legs and the worst my back is starting to weaken us.

It's laced with silver.

Give me back control Zara.

I can't give up now, Xander had just started to open up to me. I growled at dirt-bag and lunged at him.

Well, fake lunging that is, I'm not stupid, I've seen pack members trained.

Dirt-bag stumbled forward, I took that split second to rip the flesh of his back with all the strength I have left, scraping a lump of flesh out, payback a b***h.

No no no no, I chanted in my head.

I could feel the sliver running through my blood, burning my veins, I screamed out in raw agony.

I can't, no I won't.

My wolf shifted back into my human form.

I'm sorry I can't heal us.

It's okay, we know we tried.

I smiled sadly up to the dark blue sky, feeling proud of myself that I've killed a wolf despite being an Omega.

I hope this prove Xander wrong on calling us weak, I smirked, my eyes closing by the second.

"Catalonia!" I heard his sweet voice screaming desperately for me.

For me, he worried about us Zara.

Maybe that's the last time I would hear his voice.

I clinched to it.

The warmth in my heart and the tingling of his arms cradling me, is the last thing I felt before darkness consumes me.

Goodbye Xander
