Fate's Judgement *Book 3* FREE READ

::Sarah's POV::     I could feel myself plunging into the unknown grounds below, the wind uplifting my hair and throwing it in a wild frenzy. My soul was empty, my heart filled with void, I had my eyes closed for about a second before stepping off the cliff.     But then I felt a sudden tug on my feet. It was Adam! He sobbed and sniffled grasping my other leg firmly.     ''Please don't do it Sarah!'' he begged. His tears that rolled off those white irises only jabed more pain into my heart.     I didn't know how he got here! I could have sworn...     ''I know you're hurting, but please. I won't have anyone else!'' he embraced my ankles tighter.     I could not help the flow of tears that came after that. Before I could drop to my knees I felt the warm embrace of Billy.     ''Luna, please. The pack needs you, the Alpha needs you. We all need you.''     Wait! How did Billy get here? I know the last thing I did was command him with my powers to stay behind.     ''I-'' I looked around confused, but also was secretly glad I got to feel their presence.     ''I'm hurting too Sarah, I don't want you to go on without your love. I don't want you to leave us!'' Adam snuggled, his eyes were exhausted, he still bore the scars from his battle earlier.     Did he win from the fight with Xander? Wait, what happened to Derrick? This was indeed very peculiar. My head was getting all fuzzy.     But my heart still wanted to latch onto Adam's words. His emotions steamrolled mine in an instant.      ''Your mom would be devastated,'' he continued.     And in the distance not to far away I saw my mother's wolf. Her tears welled up in her eyes as she howled sadly to the sky above. Her mourning howls echoed against the wind and it made a critical impact on my heart. I still loved her. Despite everything! I still loved her.     But I still could not shake off the fact that this was too weird. I couldn't put my hand on it, but this seemed too unreal.     Out of nowhere Melody ran up to me and bear hugged me. Her smile had always been one of the brightest, but her tone was sullen.     ''Don't go Sarah! I only just met you! We were supposed to make more memories together!'' she smiled, but her tears soaked onto my cheeks.     My face sulked, had I really not thought things through? Was I being selfish again? Was I ever truly able to move on knowing that I would leave these broken heart's behind?     All of a sudden their images began to fade.      What?!     They remained embracing me, but their presences began to fade. Just like Jen did!     I felt the panic rise from the abyss of my heart, I did not want them to leave me. I tried to hold onto them, but failed. My physical touches went straight through them.     Their smiles with saddened tears was ripping my heart into pieces. Was this what they say people go through within their last moments? Maybe I was dead and was reliving my regrets.     The scene around me shifted, I appeared before a grave. The cold droplets of rain washed away my peers tears into the soil of what seemed to be my grave.     There was a man, who sounded the most upset of them all. With such toned and masculine features his emotions were bare on his face. He wiped away endless tears that refused to stop. His green eyes watered, his jaws clenched with self hatred and remorse.      Drake!     I choked on nothing as I witnessed the true sadness of my mate's broken heart. His fingernails were dirty from digging into the earth. His sobs were full of denial and anger it had definitely stung my heart to its core. I did have a mate. And I left him behind!     Drake pounded onto the freshly shoveled dirt, cursing himself and his existence. I knew if I had Jen with me I would be in more immense emotions.But Jen was not here with me!      I wanted to be with her so bad, I was willing to run into death's arms, but I can't see her, I couldn't feel her presence. She wasn't here!     ''Arrrrrrrgghhhh!'' Drake's voice exploded into the area.     ''No matter what I do...'' he sobbed, ''I always f**k things up! I can never protect the ones I want to keep. I can never f*****g do anything right!''      The corner of my lips dropped, like a baby when they were about to cry. My eyebrows furrowed upwards and more salty tears began pouring from my tired eyes.     ''I love you Drake, so much!''     As I tried to embrace him, his presence too began to fade away. He couldn't feel my touch, he didn't know of my presence, but he stayed there. He stayed there crying and hating himself, and knowing how the mate bond worked, he could be that way forever!     Wait.     So I still had a mate?     It just hit me that I was still able to use the luna powers despite losing Jen. But I had been so blinded by wanting to end my life that I wasn't giving that enough thought.     Now I really began to regret my decision. But I'm dead, it's way too late for me now. Maybe I should find the light like how other's told me people who've passed on should. But as I looked around there was no light. There was just thick fog surrounding the area.     ''It's okay baby, she wasn't worth it.''      That voice sent chills down my spine, and at the same time boiled my blood.     Megan appeared and knelt next to Drake, fully embracing him with a hug.     My rage ran straight through the roof, and I lunged myself at her, only to pass through her.     ''She didn't love you enough to save you. She couldn't wait for you.'' she whispered into his ears.     ''She's lying!'' I screeched.     But it was as if only her voice was heard.     ''I have never given up on you though. You are too worthy to be kneeling over a dead mutt. come my love let us go.'' she patted his broad shoulders.     As I thought he would brush her off as he always did he wiped away his final tears and instead took her hand. His face still looking at my tombstone, ''I guess my fate was not to be with her after all.'' and they started to walk together into the fog.     ''No!'' I cried, ''Drake don't go!''     I was left there, alone and cold. I crawled over to my grave and spitefully looked at the those words.     ''Rest in Peace, Sarah, the luna of the Red Crimson Pack, best friend, daughter, and lover. You'll forever be missed.''     It had shown my birth date but what wasn't showing was my date of death. It was a complete hyphen! Had my body never been found after I took my suicide act? Was Drake in denial because he longed to keep searching for me? This made me wonder just how long he had been pouring his emotions like that. Because the grave itself looked like it has seen better days.     This was a nightmare, and I was hoping for it to end. But there was still no light around anywhere! Was I automatically sent to be tormented in the purgatory plane? I wouldn't deny that I did deserve it after everything, and maybe I would readjust into it because that was how I felt most of my life.     But there was something that was still bugging me. I felt like this whole thing was some kind of spell, but I couldn't figure out if it was truly that or it was me trying to regain my life.      ''How does it feel? Your regrets taste wonderful.'' a deep voice I have never heard of before made its presence known.     ''Wh-who's there?!'' I flashed my attention to multiple places as it began to chuckle devously.     ''You're not dead that much I can reassure you.'' it echoed.     ''Who are you?'' I repeated, ''What do you want? Why am I here?'' I was half scared and half angry, but definitely on my guard.     I didn't have the wolf's sense to hear, to smell, or to feel where my enemy's location was at. I didn't have Jen with me!     ''What do you mean I am not dead? I know I waked off that cliff.''     ''Did you though?'' it asked curiously, ''Weren't you just being clingged on by your friends?''     ''They aren't real.'' I muttered under my breath.     ''What was that? maybe your whole life was a dream and this is indeed death's realm.''     ''It's not real.'' I bit down on my teeth, ''This whole thing right now. It's not real!''     As if a ripple had been created through her voice, the fog began to clear.      ''Ahh this is interesting.'' the voice sounded interested, ''You seem to be full of life despite your recent actions.'' he scoffed.     ''Don't f**k with me.'' I growled.         ''Oh? But I can do so as many times as I please. I mean, this is nothing sweet heart.'' then gave that same chuckle again.     I tried to make out where he could be, but it was as if he was everywhere at once! His voice appeared in front of me, then behind! I couldn't keep track of him and my body was giving up on me.     ''What a nice play toy I have found.'' it sounded amuse, ''For now, I will let you live. But, I cannot promise you a happy ending.''      ''Wh-at?'' What did he mean by that? I'd rather just die than to play along another string of destiny.     ''Oh don't you worry, Sarah,'' the voice began to fade, ''You're my favorite drama series, I can't possibly let you end yourself like that.'' and with a menacing laugh it disappeared into nothingness.     My eyes and body dropped to the cold wet ground. I tugged on my last bit of hope that this was all just a dream. It had to be!      I couldn't make of what had happened earlier, but I believed him when he said I wasn't dead. I'll admit I was selfish. Selfish that I wanted to live again so I could right my wrongs and to finish off what I hadn't. Seeing Megan with Drake fueled all the unhealthy emotions in me, and I couldn't help but to hate her guts even more.     ''That's it, keep it up.'' The voice was now in my head.     ''Get the f**k out of my head!'' I demanded. That was a special place I would always have on reserve for Jen. And ONLY Jen!     ''Well I've been in your head this whole time, why don't you try to make me?'' he sassed with a hint of daringness.     I was already too weak to talk any longer, so I fell with a thud, ''Who are you?'' My vision began to fade, ''Who- are... you...''
