Chapter Two: Elena Blake and Raylin Blake

{Elena's Point of View}

I sighed softly. I honestly didn't want to be at this pack gathering. All the packs were here, and I was still cranky at having rejected Raylin. My wolf wasn't talking to me, and I deserved that. It had been several months since I had last seen Raylin and my heart still ached. I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't eating much. I was passing the time by working out and training.

Someone offered me a drink and I took it with a grunt. I wasn't in the mood to be nice. I wanted Raylin. I know I f****d up, but I wanted to show her how sorry I was. I guess it seems like I'm only concerned about her because she's carrying my child, but that's not completely true. I want her. I want us to have a bunch of pups.

I nearly choked on my drink when I smelt her sweet minty scent. What the f**k was she doing here? I could feel my wolf coming back from the shadows. Ace was jumping around in my head, excited for our mate. I let my sunken eyes dart around until I saw her. Her heavily pregnant body and her arm entwined with another males'.

I growled softly, crushing my cup as I looked at the two of them. Liquid dipped off my hand and down my arm onto the floor as I stared at them. She looked happy. Really happy. Her hand rested on her pregnant belly and she rubbed it gently, leaning her head against the male she was with. I sighed softly and closed my eyes.

When I opened them, she was looking at me, and I saw her eyes widen. I took a step towards her, but shook my head and turned on my heel to go the other way. If she was happy, I wasn't going to take that away from her. She deserved that, after everything I've put her through. I sighed and threw my crushed cup away, grabbing a bunch of paper towels to dry my hands and arms.

When I finished, I found a place near the water fountain and sat down. I was fairly far from the party. Not that I cared. I rested my arms on my knees and hung my head between them. I had hear the wolf come up, but I didn't bother lifting my head or greeting them. It was Raylin, and she didn't deserve to see me.

"Hey, Alpha Elena."

I stiffened when she greeted me. I opened my mouth and sighed softly. I didn't answer her until she touched me and I purred when sparks erupted under my skin.

"Raylin..."

I had closed my eyes at her touch, but realized what I was doing, and stood up quickly, stepping away from her. The mate bond was stronger than ever and I was so grateful that the Moon Goddess gave her back to me, but I'm sure she didn't want me.

"... How are you feeling?"

I asked her, my throat suddenly unbearably dry. I couldn't bear to look at her, and I think she knew that. I clenched my fists at my sides, and whimpered softly. I heard her take a step towards me, and I stiffened.

"It's you again..."

I heard her speak about the mate bond, and winced. I know she could hear my heart beating, and I gulped, loud enough for her to hear, and spoke, my voice softer than I intended it to come out at.

"I... I understand if you don't want me. I didn't treat you like you deserve. You deserve to be happy, and I didn't...." I sighed and took a breath, looking at her, noticing how close she had stepped to me. "If you want to be with the male that you came with, you can reject me. I want nothing more than to make everything up to you and treat you like a goddess." I blushed hard, knowing that she probably didn't believe me. But, I continued.

"You and our child deserve that. Better than that. And no amount of apologies can make up for the way I treated you." I felt shame wash over me, and I know she both smelt and felt it by the way she took a step closer to me. "I just want you to be happy, Raylin. I've realized that, and I'll do anything to make you happy, even if it's not with me." I didn't realize I was crying until she touched my face to wipe the tears away.

"Elena... This is the most emotion you've shown in all the time I've known you." she chuckled softly, her face contorting slightly. "You're going to make me cry." she whimpered, and I knew she was talking about her pregnancy hormones. She leaned in and gave me a very soft kiss on the lips and I dropped to my knees like an Omega wolf to the Alpha.

"W-what are you doing?!" she yelped in surprise and jumped back. "You're the Alpha!"

I snorted, not looking up at her. "I'll do this as many times as you want me to, any time, and any place." When she grabbed my shirt and tugged me up, I didn't go to hug her, but she pulled me close, wrapping her arms around my waist and pressing her crying face against my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her as tightly as I could without hurting her and our baby.

"I've missed you..." I heard her mumble against my shoulder. I rubbed her back gently, resting my face against her head.

"I haven't stopped thinking about you since I broke your heart. That's been all I can think about. Is how badly I hurt you and how much I regret it." I breathed, my fingers clenching as if she'll vanish again. She snuggled herself closer to me and bit her lip.

"You do look really bad. You've lost a lot of weight, and your eyes are sunken in..." she murmured as I blushed lightly. I chuckled softly, suddenly nervous.

"I... Haven't slept since that day... I almost may not have been eating since that day."

With my statement, she leaned back and growled softly at me, which made both me and my wolf flinch under her gaze.

"So you were just going to starve yourself?"

I bit my lip and then nodded. I honestly didn't see a reason to continue living happily if I didn't have my mate with me. She brought me out of my thoughts with a punch to my gut. I grunted and rubbed my belly, staring at her. I hadn't expected her to punch me!

"Stupid..."

I shrunk under her gaze and looked away from her, whimpering. If acting like a p***y-whipped b***h was the way to get her to love me again, I'd do anything.

"I... I didn't see a reason to be okay if I didn't have you to protect. I lost my purpose when I rejected you. My wolf hasn't spoken to me since that day..."

Her eyes widened and she sucked in a sharp gasp.

"It's been seven months!"

I nodded, tilting my head at her. "When I smelt you, is the first time I've heard from my wolf since I rejected you. And even now she's still pissed at me, and I deserve it." I looked at her, and I hoped she believed me. "I will spend every single day of my remaining life proving to you how much I love you and how much you mean to me, if you'll let me." When she spoke, I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Let me go tell my boyfriend that I found my mate, and we'll go from there. Okay, Elena?"

I smiled softly at her.

"Tell me what you want, Raylin, and I'll rope the goddamn moon for you. I'll do anything you ask of me to earn your forgiveness and your love." I dropped my head to her, like a lower wolf to their Alpha. "Just say the word, Raylin. Anything. I mean it."
