Callie’s POV
Once I was done talking to Sarah, I went on my way to look for Alex. I needed to start making sure everything is in place before my child was born.
“Hey, we need to talk.” I told Alex the second I saw him.
“What must we talk about?” He asked cautiously, almost as though he knew that anything I had to say might not be what he wanted to hear.
“I need your help in finding a way to make them all forget about me. The people I love and the ones who have known even a small part of me must forget me. They will come to know me again in the future, but not as their sister, mate, lover or friend. No one can remember me. My daughter will not know I am her mother, she will have a normal life.” I knew that what I was asking of Alex was to practically erase me from their minds, to make it as though I never existed.
It could be the only way for them not to feel the need to protect me.
I might not have control over my own destiny, but I can try to change theirs.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see it was Alex, his eyes were filled with concern and understanding.
I took a step forward and waited for his arms to come around me and pull me closer to him before I cried.
“Please tell me you will be able to do it?” Even to my own ears I sounded different. I sounded older and weak.
My heart was breaking and there was nothing that anyone could do about it.
“Shhh, I will be able to do it. Just know it won’t be a spell that will only affect them. I will have to erase you completely from existence. Not only will you have never existed, no one will remember you. You will be nothing but a ghost. “Alex told me as he rubbed my back.
For some reason I felt calmer and felt more relaxed and accepting of what is to come.
“Will you remember me?” I asked, suddenly aware that if Alex said he wouldn’t remember me either I would be completely alone.
“No. I am sorry Callie.” I smiled at Alex and pulled his head down to mine so that I could kiss him on his cheek. “As soon as my daughter is born I want you to make sure she is safe. Then I want you to erase me from this world. Callie Kent will no longer exist.”
5 MONTHS LATER
The days when I would cease to exist to all those who know me was coming closer and closer. I could feel the darkness inside of me trying to take over. I don’t know how much longer I will be able to fight this internal war.
I needed to get out of the house, but no one would let me. They have taken to keeping me weaknow because of the fact that I seemed to get violent at random times. There are times I am lucky enough to see just one face in a week.
They have me on lock down; when I am sleeping they enter my room and leave me with some food and a glass of blood. Alex put a spell over my room to prevent me from leaving it. There were crystals all over my room which I can’t touch.
My lust for blood has grown and not even my stupid necklace that counter the yearning for more blood. Everything was falling apart and there is nothing that could be done about it.
I am losing control, all I feel is hate and anger and it saddens me. I need help, more than ever before but there is nothing anyone can do.
I placed my hand on my gigantic belly and sighed, why does it feel like I was going to give birth to triplets instead of just one child. I am huge and getting up is getting harder and harder as each day passes.
Chase’s POV
I have distanced myself from Callie and haven’t seen her in five months now.
I will be the first to admit that I haven’t changed. I am not proud of the things I have done. Even more so, I can’t imagine Callie ever taking me back – whether she is good or evil. I screwed up big time and I will continue to screw-up because that is what I do best.
I lost Callie for good, she loves Killian and only wants to be with him. When hell comes I will be stuck by Callie’s side along with Killian and Jayden. For the last five months I have been around, I made sure that Dean will be able to handle the pack and let him run the pack for the past five months. He has done a good job, much better than I have ever done. I just haven’t told him that. I didn’t really want to admit to myself much less him, but I am sure he already knows. The whole damn pack knows it to be true.
I walked through and made my way to Callie’s room. As much as it would hurt to see her, I needed to. Being away from her for as long as I have been has driven me a little crazy.
When I opened her room door I saw that she was sitting in a rocking chair, she turned her head when she saw me and a smile graced her lips.
“Hi,” the simple word sounded so sweet and husky coming from her. “I missed you.”
What is going on?
She left me speechless. I didn’t know what to say. She got up from the rocking chair and I saw how huge her stomach had gotten. She looked more beautiful now than ever before. It was my child in her belly and that thought alone filled me with pride and joy.
Callie made me forget about the fact that I am a complete screw-up and the fact that I was hurting because she would never love me.
“How is our little girl?” I asked as I made my way to her.
“Strong. Put your hand on my stomach, she is kicking I think she knows her daddy is here.” Callie said and smiled when she saw my shocked expression. She guided my hand onto her stomach and when I felt the baby kick I felt more joy in that moment than I have ever felt in my life before.
“This is amazing.”
“I know.” Callie was still smiling at me. She licked her lips and then pulled my head down to hers. “I really did miss you.”
I was not sure if it was her pregnancy hormones or if she really did miss me that made her this way. When she kissed me it felt different. She tasted different, but I didn’t care. It has been so long since I had her in my arms.
“I missed you so much.” I said as moved my lips to her neck and then her shoulder.
“Take me to bed.” Her voice was husky and soft and almost drove me over the edge.
I picked her up as carefully as I could and carried her to the bed. She was going on wild and as much as I was enjoying it she really needed to calm down. She nipped my lip and I tasted blood. Callie got this strange expression on her face, her violet eyes seeming more red than violet at the moment. She licked my lips and let out a small moan.
“You taste good.” Her voice dropped an octave.
In a second I was turned over and she was now on top of me. It is then when I saw her eyes were completely red now and her fangs were showing that I knew I was in trouble.
“Don’t move.” Those two words were spoken so quickly and in that moment I couldn’t move. I couldn’t do a thing as she bent her head down to my neck and as much as I found what was happening more than pleasurable. I knew I was going to die.
Callie was killing me.
