Selene
I woke up with the sun rays hitting my face. Though I layed in the shade, my face still felt the warmth of the alluring sunrays peaking through the branches of the trees surrounding me.
I realized I layed on my stomach on top of a blanket, on top of me was a thin sheet covering me from mid back and down.
I have no idea how I got here, nor how did I end up being covered. Thankfully as I glanced around, I realized I was close to where I had left my clothes, right before I shifted and let Hazel take over.
I heard a foot stir in the ground and the breaking of a small branch. It startled me at first, but his sweet smell told me I was in no trouble at all. I turned slowly to look at my dear husband. He sat on top of the mid sized boulder where I had left my clothes.
He sat pensively, his elbows resting on his knees while he stared at the ground.
He sighed and closed his eyes, while hanging his head low.
"Blake?" I whispered his name.
"Good morning beautiful! Or should I say good afternoon?" He spoke softly, giving me a barely noticeable side smirk. Yet his voice had uncertainty written almost over it, and he seemed somewhat melancholic.
"Hi Baby!" I tried to smile, hiding my own pain.
I got up, and began to change. I tried to hook my bra strap, but my body felt tired and numb. I fiddled with the hook unable to get the hooks in. He softly took them in his hands, fastening my straps for me.
Slowly, he began to run his hands around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulder. I can feel shivers down my spine as his soft breath caressed my shoulder.
"Princess, I know what you're trying to do. And I will not allow it. I can't let you go!" He buried his head between my shoulder and neck. I took a long sigh, my tears betraying me as they made their way down my cheeks. The big ugly knot in my throat unwilling to leave, stilling me from saying a word.
I slowly turned to face him. His eyes closed, and tears running down his cheeks. He hung his head, and ran his arms tight around me.
We stood there silently for a while, before I pulled myself away. Fresh tears still ran from his cheeks and mine, slowly, treacherously, miserably.
"Blake, I know you are aware of what's happening....we both know you have to let me go soon. It's my destiny. I love you with all my f*****g strength! But I have to do this... for you!for our pack, and later on...... you will forget about me, and you'll have a chance to find some-"
"Stop it Selene! I don't want a second chance mate! I want you!! I love you Selene! I want you by my side, forever. I want you to be the one to have my pups, and lead with me... we have to find another way to end this. I know Damian is after you! I know you're gonna try and sacrifice yourself but I won't let that happen! He'll have to get through me first, do you hear me!?" His eyes darkened, tears ran down thicker, and his voice.... for the first time, sounded broken.
"Blake! You have no choice here! This is how things have to be. You of all people know that. Hazel and I are ready to do our part.... and you and Xan.... have to let us go. I love you Blake, I always will!" My own voice betrayed me, breaking into whimpers full of sorrow just as bad as my heart felt. I gulped down my pride, and hugged him as tight as I could.
He leaned close and claimed my lips vigorously. I can hear Hazel cry, she hung her head and slumped down. I could not just feel his sadness, but Hazel and Xander's as well. It broke me into a million pieces.
"He has the right to feel this way Sel, but I'm glad we're in the same page. We have to fulfill our destiny. Even if we have to say goodbye to him forever!" Hazel whimpered through her words. Though she was right, the words goodbye forever cut through me like a knife.
I slowly slid my hands around his neck. His hand interlacing in my hair, stilling me from pulling away. He kissed me so hard, my jaw ached... but knowing this could be one of the last times I kissed him, I didn't care. I didn't dare pull away... the longer he kissed me, the more I felt broken, the longer I wished this moment could last forever.
He lowered his hand down to my waist sending shivers through my body. And suddenly, I felt a sharp prick in my neck. My eyes widened. A hot liquid invaded my body, and everything around me became hard to see.
I stared into his eyes. He hung his head and held me still as I began to loose consciousness. "Blake!!! No!"
"I'm sorry princess! But I refuse to loose you!"
******
I woke up to the ringing of my phone. I layed back in my bed. It was dark out already. I pressed the light on, on my watch....it read 12:58 midnight. "s**t, Blake? .....Blake??" I yelled but there was no answer. I jolted up, and ran to the door. I opened it and outside were four guards.
"I'm sorry Luna, but Alpha has prohibited for you to leave your room."
"Are you kidding? I don't think so. Move out of my way. I want to talk to him." I ordered.
They quickly drew their guns at me. "Sorry Luna, but we have orders to tranquilize you if you try to leave. Now... if you please, get back inside. We'll let the ladies know you're awake so they can bring you a bite to eat."
I narrowed my eyebrows and clenched my jaw. This cannot be happening.
"Where is he? Call him at once!"
"He's out Luna, he's getting ready for an attack as we speak. That's all the details we can spare you. Now PLEASE! Luna, go inside your room."
I grunted and gritted my teeth, slamming the door behind me. I fisted my hands covering my face as I slid down against the door, and onto the floor.
"Blake where are you? Don't do this to me!! Guards? Seriously?" I mind linked him. Though he could be far, if he was still miles around our territory, I could still reach him.
"I'm sorry Selene. Don't try and talk me out. My mind is made. You'll stay back in our pack house, while I take care of Jazmin and that stupid leech. If I make it back, you'll be the first one I run to. I promise .... Until then, I love you Selene!" he then closed the mind link between us. No matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't respond.
I ran to the windows realizing I could maybe escape from there. I opened up the curtains just to realize he had them bar wired.
"Maybe I can still push through. Haze we need to combine our strength. Ready?" I called to her. She was as worried and nervous as I was.
"Ready Sel!!" I gripped the bars quickly, and just as quickly as I gripped them I let go. They were made out of pure silver.
"f**k!!! This can't be happening! BLAKE!!?" my eyes betrayed me again. The heavy pain in my chest and the lump in my throat increased in me, and I couldn't bare it any more. I let go, allowing myself to cry. I love that man more then I could ever imagine! If he died, I would not be able to handle it.
