"On our way back to the pack house, I asked rudi, what avie ment about going back to the dark ,place he said she took my leaving rough, she stayed in her room for 2 weeks , didnt talk to anyone or hardly ate, she scream for me in her sleep, cried all day and night, the night i went to say goodbye to her, she really thought I was coming to get her, because arrax told her about my plan, and I explained to rudi, I thought she rejected me, He said she just started acting normal again, about a week ago she stop walking around life less and started living , rudi also said her and dad started getting close , when he saw how devastated she was after my leaving, he said she's been eating none stop, which explains why she looked like she gained weight, I hate my self for leaving her, but what was I to do? I thought she didnt want me, i couldn't live with the pain of her not wanting me as mate,

The night we made love ,still flashes through my memory, my body yearns for her, but after what happen today, she will never come back to me now, arrax lost control, and hurt her, but he didnt mean it , I can feel it he just didnt want her around landon, first of all he always wants what he cant have, and if he touches my mate I'll rip his damn throat out,

"Ember, my father voice, rumbles and breaks me from my thoughts,

I turn to face him, I arch my brow, because if I didnt know better, I'd swear that I seen pain, I didnt say anything, I just turn my gaze back to the wood's, " i think i need to tell you something son, he said as he patted me on the shoulder, what could he possibly want to tell me? How to do my job as alpha, because I already know how to do that,

"Ember, when I was 14 I found my mate,he said as he took a deep breath closing his eyes. " you said you met mom when you was 16? So how can that be? , I said and gave him a confused look,

"Ember let me talk okay, he sighs, "I nod my head, as he continues, I was 14 when I met my mate, she was human, when he said that my eyes snap to his, moms not human shes a witch, what the fuck is he saying? My mother is not his mate? Before I could continue my thoughts he goes on,

When I told my father, the alpha at the time that I found my mate and she was human, he warned me, that a human cannot handle the mark of a wolf, or the luna mark, I refuse to believe him, so I marked her, and she was fine at least I thought she was anyways , she never told me she had any kind of problems with it, but she died ember, he said with sob, is my father actually crying? I swallow the lump in my throat, I've never seen him like this before, so I managed to say, " is that why you forbid me to claim avie?

And I knew right away she was my mate, I thought she was also human until, she told me she was witch, I was so happy, that i didnt have to loose her too, i dont think i could have bared it, " i placed my hand on his shoulder and squeezed slightly, " I'm sorry dad that you had to go through that, but i love avie shes my mate, I'm not sure if i can let her go, as i said thoughs words tears peaked at my own eyes , we both silently sobbed together, but I cant loose avie, it would destroy me, I know what I have to do, I have to mark cherri, it's the only way to save my mate, "Stand to my feet, my father does the same, we both wipe away the tears, on faces,

" I have to save avie dad, even though it's going to destroy me, I'm going to mark cherri, right now, " if I wait and see avie, I wont do it and I can't let her die, I said , silent tears fell, again. " ember I know I've been pushing you to do this, but are you sure? Once it's, done it cannot be undone, I suggest just waiting awhile, " I nodded my head, they're were no words, why am I even thinking about this?
