Leah’s POV
I tried to open my eyes but I just couldn't do it. It was as if something else like a force was holding me back but then again,I could hear someone sobbing beside me.
He sounded so much like Elijah...
“Please, don't leave me Leah... I love you so much and I just can't see myself living life without you... I am so sorry for everything but believe me,I am trying hard to make sure we get back...just give me a little time please... I beg of you...I am doing this because I love you....” The crying continues but I don't know if I am in a trance or something because I am hundred percent sure that is his voice. On second thought,why will he express himself in that manner when I know so well he doesn't love me anymore..he has someone now so I need to stop creating hallucinations of him..
“Leah,you got us so worried...” I turned around with tears gathered in my eyes ready to pour and drown the earth..
“Mother...is that really you..”
“Don't be silly, child,who else am I if not your mother? Where did you run off to,your father and I have been looking for you..” She said with those beautiful smiles of hers.. I have been wishing for a day like this to see my mother smile,even if it's just for a minute.
“Why are you crying? You make it feel like we will be separated soon,anyway,come with me, everyone is ready to start eating but they won't if they don't see you.” She took my hands to walk with her but I stopped...
"Is everything okay?”
“I miss you so much mom....I miss you..even if you are not real.....” I hugged her so tight...“I just want to be here with you forever,I want to be anywhere you are,mom...”
“Don't be silly,I am always here with you,why will a mother abandon her child? No matter where I am,my heart is always there,guiding you.” She said to me and for the first time, something struck my heart. My mother may be dead but she is not dead to me. She is still here in my heart and I am not alone..
I wish I could go back to the time when I was genuinely happy.... I slowly opened my eyes and found Elijah soaked in tears and his grip in holding my hands so tight like his life depends on me..
“Elijah..” I called and he looked at me,“You are awake... Please don't do that again to me.”
“You came back safe..”
“I know you care and I never stop caring....” He came closer..
I don't know how it happened but I kissed him out of desperation and I passed out seeing myself in my pack before the plague...

I slowly opened my eyes and realized I was in my room.. how on earth did I get here? What happened to me?
I know so well I am not just waking up now... I once woke up and found Elijah with me in a different place so how come I am in my apartment now.
“You are awake.. what a relief..” Asher responded walking close to me with a tray of tea.
“Asher,you are here.. what happened to me? Where is....” I stopped... There is no way I am going to ask about Elijah.. Everything is just a dream,he will never think of me and my wolf was right,I haven't moved on just yet from him. I need to do everything to stop thinking about him. I hate the fact my silly heart is still longing after him... Why did he have to kiss me? I touched my lips remembering how everything felt to me and I never wanted it to stop for a bit... He is playing with my emotions.. he is so good at manipulating me.. I think Asher is the one who saved me and not him,so I should take a break and find out what happened the minute I passed out...
“You found the hide out of those bastards, he told me you passed when he returned. I am so happy Alpha Elijah saved you,he said you have been asleep for some days and knowing you will wake up today,he brought you in yesterday and asked me to watch over you... Have some tea..” He passed the tea cup to me wearing a smile while looking at me.
He must be joking... I have been sleeping for days? Does this mean I almost did it with him when I woke up, still not fully conscious?? Oh no.. this can't be..... I need to focus and find out if my kids and friends were found since those idiots' hideouts have been discovered...
“Did you find them?” I sip from the tea slowly. He gave me an expression of doubt..
“We only got some clues from them but it turned out they were reached through a phone and that was the end.. ”
“That means we need to start from the beginning again.” I was heartbroken. All I want is my kids.. I want them back in my arms again,this is tough for me ... Are they even eating well? What about my best friend Jessica?
“Cindy,what do I do?” I asked my wolf and she encouraged me saying,“As long as I can feel their connection,they are still alive and we are going to find them.”
“I haven't forgotten my promise to you Leah, I am going to find your kids... Mark my words...” Asher reassured me and I smiled at him.
“Thank you so much Asher...”
“So I have been meaning to ask, where did you plan on going when you left the game? Did something happen?”
“Just wanted to take a walk,if you don't mind,I want to rest a little.” I lied because there is no way I can tell him I got jealous of seeing Elijah with another.
"Oh before you rest,there is someone dying to speak with you..” He announced and I wondered who that could be ? I have no friends around except for Jessica and Asher himself....
“Best friend,I thought I am going to lose you like my lover...” It turned out to be Candy,the new friend I made at the game.
She rushed in and hugged me so tight on the bed... I guess I need to adjust a bit but she is fun to talk to.
A few hours later, getting myself I suddenly got a text message from Elijah,“Meet me here tonight,I miss you....”
What??? Am I dreaming again? Did he just send this or did he made a mistake? There is no way I am going... We are done and that's the end of it... I dropped my phone but deep down,I want time to move faster so I can get dressed and hurry up to meet him... I am the most foolish girl on earth because love is my weakness... Should I go or not? I still couldn't come to a conclusion...
