Wildfire

Chapter 9

I started to recover fast. We had the funeral and Blaine gave me my mates necklace that I was extremely grateful for. I hated going back to where my pack was massacred, but I needed to say good bye. I made a promise that day. That no matter what I’d avenge them. At 21 I lost everything. Almost everything. If it wasn’t for my family and friends I’d honestly didn’t think I’d make it.

A few days after the funeral I tell e everyone that I must leave. They aren’t happy but understand that I need to get away. I haven’t told anyone about wanting to avenge my pack, not even Blaine. I know how’d they react. They are extremely protective of me and I didn’t feel like arguing about it.

The night before I leave Blaine comes over. We watch movies and eat popcorn. Just a simple night but it means so much.

“ You’ll always have a home here waiting for you, don’t forget that,” Blaine starts to say. I look up at him with a smile.

“ I know. An thank you for that. I’ll come back I promise. I just need to get away for now.” I tell him as I grab his hand.

The next day was hard but I hug everyone goodbye. Starting to walk towards the car, I turn back smile and wave at everyone. Focusing on those grey eyes I mind link him one last time.

“I love you and I’ll miss you. Thank you for everything.” I tell him. Then turn away and hop in the car. As I drove off I hear him mind link me back.

“Goodbye wildfire.”

Blaine POV

Once again I see the women I love leave. Yup I said it. The women I love. I was three and Kierra was a couple months old when we first met. Our parents came to visit each other and the minute I saw her I never left her side. It got to the point where she needed me to near her to or she’d keep her parent up all hours of the night and I’d do the same. Our parents had to take turns taking care of us at each other’s houses. When Clyde came into the picture we were still kids. I noticed he’d try to get closer to her to. I wasn’t having it at first. I was protective of her, but Kierra being Kierra was friendly towards everyone.

As we got older Clyde wanted to be around her even more. I never had to fight for her attention but it was still aggravating have someone else tag along. Don’t get me wrong I loved Clyde as brother, but still Kierra was suppose to my soulmate. It’s my own fault though I didn’t fight hard enough. I let her go to easily but I knew she was happy with Clyde. As long as she was happy so was I.

My families bloodline is special. The whole “mates” thing doesn’t work for the rest of the species but it does in my family. The bond is stronger on our side but our mate can still feel a connection. Kierra always thought it was a friendship one sadly. Truthfully though if it wasn’t for Clyde it would have grown to be more, but I loved them both and was happy for them even if I had to suffer alone. I’ll never take another female as a mate. I’d never allow it. Luckily I have two other brothers, so I won’t have to worry about our bloodline dying or anything.

I’m not happy Clyde past. I’m heart broken. He was my friend and my best friends mate. When you truly love someone you think of them more then yourself. I accepted long ago that I had to let Kierra go. My heart broke seeing her suffer like this. The only thing I can do now is always be there for her when she needs me.
