Gone

1003 Words
Chris's POV It's not fair. I wish it was me instead of my innocent Violet. Why? Why is fate so cruel to her? I lose track of time as I kneel beside her, leaning over her body. My eyes run out of tears and begin to burn.  My wolf is howling in pain at the lose of our mate. My wife. Gone.  "Chris. It's time. We have to carry her back to the packhouse for a proper burial." I don't look up, but know it's Avery speaking. "No." I whimper out. Not caring how weak I sound. My heart is shattered and the pain I feel is unbearable.  I finally lift my head and look up at the sky. "WHY!?" I yell out to the moon goddess.  "Chris." I hear my mom speak and feel her grab a hold of my shoulder. She wraps her arms around me, but I don't return the gesture. I remain still as I go over what occurred. I jolt to my feet and look at my fathers, whom are also the pack's beta's. "Something is wrong. I would have smelled the hunter approaching. At the very least, I would have heard him." This catches Avery's attention as well.  "He must have had helped from a powerful witch. We should head back home and ask Gloria if she can help us." My mom suggests and I agree with her. I want, no, I NEED, to find out who is behind this attack and I will personally deal with them.  Just when I thought I had no tears left to shed, they begin to fall down my face as I pick Violet's limp body up. I lean down and kiss her cold forehead. "Let's go home." I whisper to my angel.  Not only did I lose my love, but Benny just lost his mother. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have the strength to pull through this. My heart feels like it's literally being torn out of my chest. My lungs are finding it difficult to breathe. I have loved Violet for as long as I can remember and now, on our wedding day, she is taken away from me.  She would light up the room the second she walked in. Everyone adored her and I know damn well that the pack is just as devastated as I am.  I need to speak with Noah and Alex about postponing her burial. I'm not ready to say goodbye yet. I place her body on one of the hospital beds and demand the doctors and nurses not to touch her. I'm sure they thought I brought her in here to get her body prepared for the funeral.  As one of the alpha's, they have no choice but to listen to my command.  I kiss her hand before leaving the room, much to my dismay.  "Noah, Alex, where are you guys? I need to speak with you right away." I link the two for a faster response than to go physically looking for them.  "I can't get a hold of Noah. He blocked the link to everyone, including me." Alex replies, and the hurt in his voice doesn't go un-noticed. I understand how he feels, but right now, we need him. I let out a sigh. "Okay. I'll meet you outside and help search for him."  I meet up with Alex and I suggest we search the waterfall first, since I know he likes to go there for alone time. Or, at least he use to when we were pups. Maybe he has a new solitude location now. There's no sight of him when we get there. s**t. Where they hell could he have gone?  "Chris. Where was Violet's favorite place to go?" Alex asks, and I feel my heart break all over again at the sound of her name. "The garden, but we would have seen him there."  Come on, Chris. Think. Think. Where would Noah go? Hmm. Suddenly, I think of a spot, but I am dreading of returning there. "I think I may know." I state to Alex and begin to lead the way.  As we approach the sunflower field, my heart begins to beat rapidly. This spot meant happiness and love this morning. Now, looking at it brings me misery.  "Noah!" Alex exclaims, as he runs to his mate. I envy them for a quick second, but realize it's not their fault that my mate is gone. I am happy for them. I truly am, but seeing them together just hurts.  "Alex." I hear him whimper and I can hear the cries escaping his lips and surely his eyes. I watch as Alex sits down on the ground beside my best friend and hold him in his arms.  I give them their moment before walking over and bring up the sore topic. I take a seat on the ground next to Noah. "It f*****g hurts." He whimpers out and I nod. "I know." I state, and he turns his head to me. "f**k. Chris. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what the breaking of a mate bond feels like. I'm dealing with the family bond breaking and it is killing me. She was my twin. My sister. My best friend."  "It hurts. More than I can put into words. I have to be strong for Benjamin though. I wanted to ask you guys if we could postpone the funeral. Maybe until we catch the bastards behind this."  "I will agree with whatever decision you two want. I adored her, but I know she meant the world to you both and I will honor your choices when it comes to Violet." Alex spoke and I appreciated that.  "I'm not ready to say goodbye either." Noah says with such an upsetting facial expression. I'm sure I look the exact same way though. What started as one of the best days of my life, was taken away in an instant. I won't rest until justice is served.
