I frown at her
“Why would he not?”
She laughs shaking her head, like i was stupid for asking such a thing
“Well you just killed our mate, if your capable of killing gavin why would you not be capable of killing tate”
“What? Never has it ever crossed my mind to do that, don't make this something that its not!”
Getting tired of fighting with her i slam a mental door in her face and i curl my body in and around tate just as he scoops me up
“Im sorry”
I whisper to him, he smiles at me sadly and nods
“I know you are, we can talk at home”
He looks behind me at carly
“Can you bring us home, my warriors can drive the cars home for us”
She doesnt say a thing, she just grabs us both and suddenly i appear in my living area surrounded in light just as the sun sets, carly holds me and soon i feel the healing power flow through me, the lump of missing flesh from my body heals over, leaving a tight ugly scar.
“It will scar, but maybe thats a good thing, it means you wont ever forget what you have done”
She steps away shaking her head and she disappears, as she does my chin starts to wobble, my heart breaking, i had just lost my family
“You know i could never kill you”
I whisper looking up at tate, he frowns pulling back
“Ofcourse i know that, what made you think i would think that?”
“Mandy, she said you wont trust me because im capable of killing a mate”
His face softens as he takes a seat pulling me into his arms and gently kissing my head
“You killed a man that rejected you, broke your heart and lied to you with an already limited bond, it may have hurt to kill him but im personally glad you did it”
My eyes meet his in shock
“What? Really?”
He nods his head
“Yes, im sad about the family but i wont ever be sad i don't have to share you. You are happy here arent you?”
“This is my home, its the only place iv ever thought of as home”
“Well then im just saying you dont need them, you may have a title but from the moment i met you and you leaped into my arms we became family. I know your sad you lost them but you will always have a home with me”
“And mandy?”
“She will come round, shes just in shock, they will all come round my love”
With that he places a gentle kiss on my lips, i moan as the tingles spread across my face like little bubbles of love and i cant help but move into it and kiss him back

Heartleys POV
5 days later…
“Heartley please at least drink a little water”
I look to isla as she holds the cup to my lips, i take a little sip wetting my mouth but it does nothing for me. Im not sure how long its been but it feels like it just happened.
“Did she drink?”
Ailm asks isla
“A tiny bit, what about desmond?”
“No, its like they arent even in there bodies right now”
“We might have to call in nan”
Isla suggests, i watch them talk, curling into a ball on the couch
“I already did, shes on her way with pops now but it still doesnt make sense to me, they are fated, marks or not the connection must still be alive if they are like this”
Hope suddenly bursts forward with a gasp, breaking what felt like a wall of glass in my body, the peaces splintering as all the pain comes rushing back in. my body reacting at the thought of the bond before i had the opportunity to stop myself. A scream tears through my lips as i fall forward.
It was like a bucket of grief was just poured over my body, but the bucket was actually a jar and the grief was actually acid. Everything felt impossible as my body felt like it was on fire, i could see no ease, no way of avoiding it.
Isla and ailm fall beside me, rushing to try and help me as I cry my heart out. The bond was splintered and painful, i couldn't bare it, id never see his face again, id never hear his voice as he sang to me or feel his touch. I’d never fight with him, or smell him.
Another roaring scream rips from inside me as the pain smashes into me like waves, never ending, always flowing, just like the sun always comes up so does the moon, so does the waves in the sea. A never ending continuous pain in my body, so sore it was hard to breath through it, it was crippling but i could feel nothing else, see nothing but the hole in my fated’s chest as the blood drains from his face.
But then suddenly i feel tingles spread across my face, easing the pain in that area, easing it enough so i could see through the flashbacks of the worst moment of my life and into the eyes of desmond.
He looked like hell as he lovingly runs his hands down my cheek, trying to sooth me from the pain we were both in
“Sssshhh ssshh im here now baby, im here now”
He tells me, his eyes held so much pain, full of unshed tears as he grabs hold of my body and he pulls me into his arms
“When did she last eat”
He asks ailm as he cradles me against his chest and stands up
“5 days ago like you”
He nods
“Have something brought to our room”
He whispers walking towards our bedroom, the thought made me cry when i realise he wouldn't be waiting for us, my heart constricting, being sucked of all the life i had left. This pain was so bad, so bad i couldnt imagine ever living with it.
“I want to die too”
I tell desmond, his body goes rigid under me, making me look up at him, this time he had tears streaming down his cheeks
“Me too but he would never want that, he would never want us in this much pain, we need to”
He takes a breath before he finishes
“We need to live on for him”
He crumbles slightly as he says it, climbing into the bed and laying down. Then he yanks me to him so i can bury my head in his chest as my own tears start once again
“But how, how when it hurts so bad”
“Together, we will figure it out together i promise”
He pulls my face up so our noses touch
