'looking through my water stained eye's at- my dead friend's I saw ember, and cherri.  they walked over to me and they kissed each over, 'jealousy rage through me 'but ember grabbed me and held me tight, 'I fought against him but he was so strong! "cherri, "got up in my face.

"Well well well. 'what do we have here? she said sarcastically

"I stayed quiet I had nothing to say. 'I knew death was close I could feel it.

"Cherri, "grasp my head tight and yanked it- hard.

"CRACK"

'My eye's fluttered open! Huffing sweaty - i placed a hand on my heart, "oh god" it was just a dream, "no it was a nightmare! Wait a sec, Ember? I call out "NOTHING. 'Ember? 'I said again-and got off the bed looking in the bathroom. 'Empty! "NO. 'I ran next door to ember's room. When I open the door he was not there! I checked the bathroom "NOTHING. his bed hadn't been slept in.

"NO. It cant be! "DID HE JUST LEAVE ME?

'Dont get ahead of your self avie, arrax wouldn't let him leave with out me. "Maybe is down Stair's. "Just maybe!"I hurry back to my room and threw on short's and tink top. "Run the comb through the knott's I call hair. "I quickly run-down stair's.

"I slowly approached the dining room, but before I could open the door I heard the alpha.

"What do you mean gone? He yelled.

"He's gone alpha. We checked every-where but no trace of him. I'm sorry alpha. The boy's voice said.

"Who were they talking about? And why was the aplah so mad?

"Ricky, have you checked the human's room? He might be there!. Mr fatale said (A.K.A)"the alpha. " wait a minute are they talking about ember? "He cant be gone! He wouldn't just leave me. Would he? " I ran out side to the training ground's I saw lexi wolf fighting a grey wolf. " I spotted jesse one of the pack member's I ran up to him. "Hey have you seen ember? I asked. "No I'm sorry alpha is looking for him too! He shrugged.

"Thanks, Jesse. I said and walked away!

"Avie.

"I turn to see rudi, running up to me. I smiled.

"Hey.

"What are you doing here? Rudi said confused to see me. "Um" I'm not sure rudi, Arrax told me to be ready, but when I woke up this morning, " I was still here. I said- looking around.

"I'm not going to cry anymore, he left "he left me! " he got what he wanted from me. 'And now he's gone "Stupid avie"

"Well rudi tailed off.. the rumor is avie ember took off with cherri, "WHAT? I shouted. "No "No! Your lying, arrax wouldn't let ember do that to me I'm his mate. "Why would he leave with her? I asked rudi. " avie I'm sorry I thought it was lie to. After you told me and lexi, that you were running away together, but we checked your room to see if you were gone, you was here! And cherri was gone and so was ember. Rudi and embraced me. " I guess some thing's are just not ment to be.

"TWO MONTHS LATER "

"Avie come on! Lexi shouted.

'Coming I yelled. " I stop by the mirror in my room to check my self, " I glance at my self. "My red bikini is getting a little snug! "But what did I expect exactly? After ember left me I fell apart, I ate everything in sight I was depressed! " and leave it to lexi to wanna go swim. "Ugh" I walked out of my room. ' lexi was stand by the stairs in blue binki. "Her body was just fine! "You look great. I told her

"She waved me off, "wow avie! "What? I arched my brow. " I new I gained some weight but did she have to bring it up? Because that's exactly, what she's planning on doing! "If I didnt know you were a virgin! I'd swear you were pregnant! You gained some weight, she said flat, I sighed "well I've done nothing but eat since- your brother rejected and abandoned me! I said and placed a hand on my hip.

" I'm sorry avie, let's go have fun all the pack member's are by the pool, she smiled " oh even the two new rogue's that joined our pack. She winked. " I smiled. " you know lexi you have been spending alot of time with-Brett, "her eye's widen. "Avie he's my mate! 'I gasp.

"Why didn't you tell me? I shoved her shoulder playfully. " I'm sorry, you were in a dark place, " I didnt want to make you feel bad, she said. " lexi i am your friend, I want to know these thing's I'm so happy that you found your mate! I hugged her tightly, "well let's get- going cant leave your mate waiting. "I laughed, " we got to the pool, lexi was with Brett, and rudi was also with his mate! Jenny. I couldn't be more happier! For my friend's " I look around and see everyone having a good time, " man I feel like an outsider! "I just want to go home.

"Avie come in, rudi say's "not right now!. I'm just going to head in the house, and eat my life away! "As I said that. I marched in the house, straight to the kitchen."I grab a freshly baked dinner roll, and walk to mr fatale's office. " I wanted to see if he would let me borrow his car, i really need clothe's and start running again! "Just stop eating avie! I told my self . "Fuck my self this dinner roll is AMAZING.

"KNOCK."KNOCK."KNOCK.

"COME IN,

"Hi alpha, I waved and smiled, " he has been kinda nice to me-after ember left, " he even comforted me, a time or two!

"Avie, you look really good today! He smiled.

"Thanks alpha, well as you know, I hand gestured my body, " since ember left I have done nothing but ate! " with that said, can i borrow your- car to go shopping? I said with a puppy dog lip. " I know it's childish but I really need clothes!

"Avie, I just got word - that the blood-moon pack has declared war against us! " I am to old for this, I've contacted ember he should be here tonight, to handle everything. "I've decided- to skip the alpha ceremony, so when he gets back I will announce him as alpha. He said as he walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Mr fatale, please I really need to go shopping I'll take lexi and rudi and jenny! We will be fine. Please alpha I begged.

"He sighed"

" here or my key's be careful and please, dont wreck it, he added. "Grabbing the keys I smiled at him. Of course not alpha, I said and will that I left the office.

"Wait a minute war? Ember is coming back tonight with cherri? "Oh god! I think- I'm going to be sick.
