I couldn’t shake of the feeling something bad was about to happen, it was like the winds had changed becoming more chaotic, and I was stuck here trusting a man that I probably shouldn’t have, what was I doing? I was sat here in the pack house acting as if nothing was happening a world away, but my love and mate is trapped with people who want to take her away from me, I had enough of waiting.
‘Why are we still here Alex, we should have gone with Jake’ Axel had finally spoke to me, he was pissed after what we found out but he was accepting, he was more accepting than I was and I though he was the possessive one, but that wasn’t what made him angry, it was the fact that we didn’t go back with Jake, we were closer to her than we have ever been and I let that opportunity slip away from me.
‘All we know is that she is in England, where do we even start?’ I replied to him ‘I don’t care, we should fly there and then track her down, we can’t just sit here like nothing has happened like you have been doing’ he had a point, I had thrown myself into pack business hoping that Jake would be the answer, he was also her mate, he would care for her as much as I do but all I had was silence and a horrible feeling Willow would be lost forever.
A knock came at my door that drew me from my desperate thoughts “come in!” I shouted, the door open and Darcy stood before me “how you holding up?” she asked, I chuckled slightly “terrible, I should have gone with him Darcy, I should have gone in all guns blazing” she gave me a sympathetic smile “I understand that Alex, this must be hard for you, but she has a destiny she has to travel on her own, how else will she become the woman she needs to be” she explained but it made me angry.
“How can you say that though, I can get past the double mate thing, that I can’t control but to push her down the path of darkness just so she can see the light, sounds too extreme to me, she is here to fix your mistake, I cannot see why you can’t fix them yourself if you are all powerful” she lowered her head and I knew I had hit a sore spot “yes we created this mess and have sent many before her to clean up this problem, each one falling to the darkness with in, but she is different she will become pure of heart”
I sighed “don’t give this pure of heart crap, I love Willow with all my heart but she isn’t exactly innocent, none of us are” we eventually sat and the conversation continued “you don’t need to be innocent to be pure of heart, it’s your intentions that need to be true, the trials she goes through and that outcome with determine the fate of the world” I laughed, I hated all this fate nonsense and only like to believe in what was in front of me but as a wolf I could not deny its existence.
“I will not deny fates existence but I believe we make our own choices they are not mapped out in front of us, Willow is strong but she is also kind and forgiving and that may be her downfall, did you ever stop to think you may have handed the most powerful being in existence to a race you are trying to eradicate” she sat back in her chair and her eye widened “I will be honest, I did not see it that way” I sighed “did you ever stop and think you gave them just what they wanted, after all your failed attempts did you actually learn anything, you failed time and time again because it is too easy to be dark and sometime too hard to be light”
She sat in silence and I think my words stuck in her head, her eyes looked in horror and she resiled they may have made a mistake, “we are failures and now we have sent another person to their doom, how could we been so blinded by our vendetta that we didn’t even see the lives lost in the battle” I sat up from my chair “I am glad you see your mistake but that doesn’t help Willow in any way, if it’s like that you said then she is already on the path to her fate, we just don’t know what road she going down and if it ends on how my dreams how been going, that would be total destruction, if that happened I will kill you myself” she stiffened “are you threatening me little wolf” I laughed at her dramatics “yes, if Willow has to die, you will die with her, you have ruined my life and hers and so many other, how can you sit there and not pay for it” she went to speak but held her tung, I could see she thought for a moment “fine, if we fail, I will let you kill me yourself”
We sat in salience for a moment and contemplated our own thoughts, I could not shake off the dreams I had been having lately, us stood on a hill the world burning around us, bodies piled high but through it all, she stood there her eyes black with darkness, her soul just as black no longer the pearl glow it once was but her face was sad and pained and when I looked down a long sword was plunged into her stomach, I always jumped awake at that point in floods of tears, it was always hard to sleep anyway but now it was ten times worse.
I was about to speak to Darcy again and drawing up a plan to get to England, when I stopped, a strange feeling came over me, I didn’t understand what it was but then the pain began, I let out a loud scream as the whole room was shaking and landed on my knees too weak to stand, I could here footsteps running towards me “what happened” I could hear cries but everyone else was muffled.
I knew what this pain meant “she… has… been… marked!!” I screamed out before another wave of pain hit me, but it was different, it felt out of body like I was feeling someone else’s pain “Jake marked her?” asked a voice, I thought it might be Marco but I was in too much pain to be sure, then I heard another person speak that brought dread to my heart “it can’t be Jake, they are fated brothers now even though they are not related, they will feel each other pain if it related to Willow, she has not been marked by Jake as you would feel no pain only happiness, she has been marked by another!”
