By now the girl was as white as a ghost, shaking in fear and i honestly almost felt bad for her
“How dare you”
Desmond growls, stomping towards her
“How dare you talk about my mate like that! After everything she has been through, after everything the people in this pack put her through! Your damn lucky im loyal or i swear id give it all up and run of to a abandoned island and get as far from you disloyal bastards as I possible can”
He rants clenching his fists and he continues
“After YEARS of being ALONE! AFTER YEARS OF NOT HAVING THEM BOTH! After years of looking after you all while I suffer in damn silence and this is how you treat my mate? Do you think I would ever allow that? Well lets see how you like it, if i EVER hear a soul talk about MY mates again in a disloyal way i'll string you up and make you watch as i kill your mates and family!”
My heart almost stopped in my chest at his words, they almost floor me. I know he was pissed and angry but him threatening peoples families was extreme.
“They deserve it”
Hope snaps at me, i nod not wanting to fight with her, her pain was unbearable and her anger could and would bury me in grief if i allowed it but i cant. I have got to keep on moving for desmonds sake, he needs me and i need him.
As i think about everything desmond lifts the girl up by her throat, the anger inside him pulsing, he wasnt thinking clearly and i could see that now, but just as i was about to react and take over to make him stop, hope shoves me back
“WE CAN NOT CONTRADICT HIM IN PUBLIC”
She shouts at me just as he uses one hand to snap her damn neck, then he drops her on the ground like she's rubbish before he turns, taking my hand and and he leads me away. I could already feel the regret inside him but honestly i've seen people die for a lot less in my pack.
“She deserved it”
I tell him squeezing his hand, he looks down at me smiling sadly. I wasn’t sure what else to say, I personally just wanted to make him feel better about Himself even if I wouldn’t have killed her.
“I'm sorry i had no other choice but to kill her, i can not allow her to spew that cancer through this pack, your too important, we are too important and i won't allow anyone to hurt us more than what we are, we have both dealt with enough and i won't let it happen again!”
I squeeze his hand again giving him a genuine smile
“Well thank you for protecting us, now how much further until the waterfall?”
He yanks me to the right and in through some trees, after around 5 minutes i start to hear the running water, a calm sensation flows through me as the noise gets louder and louder, the smell of the fresh spring adding an element of peace to the area. My soul healing ever so slightly, my muscles relaxing as the vibrations of all the life around me fills me with a boost of fresh energy
The area suddenly opens up into a huge waterfall, completely private from prying eyes. Its much bigger than the one we had previously ran too, this was way better and completely secluded from the busy pack lands
I pull of desmond's top and shorts off and i jump straight in, desmond groans
“Seriously you didn't even look”
I smirk as i pull up out of the surface, the fresh cold water felt amazing on such a warm sticky day.
“I would have heard them, plus i honestly dont care”
“Oh i know you don’t you pain in the butt”
I giggle as he smirks at me, stripping down and jumping in, the splash hitting me in the face as he dives in head first but just as i go to wipe the water from my eyes he grasps my legs and he yanks me under. I scream in shock as he grins at me from under the bright blue water.
We play and wrestle for a while, forgetting our troubles and trying our best to find a way to keep on going without gavin. We play for a while then finish under the heavy stream of water flowing from the waterfall. It was like the most amazing shower you could ever experience and by the time we were done i felt great, or as great as i possibly could be under the circumstances and desmond felt it too. It felt like he was with us in spirit, giving us hope when we felt none. It was exactly what we both needed and I for one was proud that we managed to even get out of bed today.

The next day we manage to get out of bed and go to the kitchen, I wasn’t sure what time it was or how long we had slept but every small milestone was that, a milestone. One step at a time.
I lay in one of gavins shirts in Desmond’s arms on the sofa watching what was apparently gavins favourite movie ‘the godfather’
I had never heard of it before, before now I never seen much point in tv, I couldn’t hear it so what was the point in it?
Desmond sadly pulls me closer to his chest resting his nose in my neck and sniffing me, I could feel the frown on his lips and the sadness in his heart as his skin touched mine.
My own chest constricted in pain, he was hurting just as much if not even more than me and that hurt me harder.
It dawned on me then that I haven’t known him that long so I don't have the memories that Desmond has. Everywhere he looks he must see him, they have been in each other’s life for so long now, how could he not see them everywhere they went.
I hear the front door open and close, I don’t bother to look and see who it is, I simply just didn’t care.
Ailm and deacon appear in our line of vision, grabbing the remote they pause the tv and sit on the coffee table infront of us.
They both looked nervously at each other, they wore glum expressions as they took a breath
“Just spit it out”
Desmond snaps, holding me tighter like a teddy bear. I didn’t mind, I’d rather be squashed in his arms then be without him atol.
“It’s been 6 days since…”
Deacon starts but he even looked like it pained him to say the words. Ailm squeezes his hand looking somber as she continues for him.
“The pack need the chance to grieve, they need a funeral”
Hope growls pushing forward, her aura automatically pushes out and over everyone in the room.
“NO!”
“But he’s been on ice for 6 days, he needs to rest, he needs to pass on to our ancestors!”
Deacon panics as he talks, hope shrugs Desmond of and shakes her head as she stands up
“He stays as he is until I pass out and change. Only then can you have permission to move him, he will be by my side when I change then me and Desmond will send him off together! Understand!”
It wasn’t a question, it was a command. I was the Luna now and I pulled rank over them. I could see there discomfort as hopes aura solidified my orders. They had no choice but to listen.
Turning on my heals I stomp out of the house in no mood for them, my heart constricted at the thought of him being gone. I could not imagine him just becoming ash and blowing off into the wind. The thought brought a tear to my eye and stuck a knife in my heart.
Anger bubbles up in my chest as I grab a chair on the deck, lifting it I smash it to peaces, screaming in frustration. The pain hurt so bad, the hole in my heart was like an open wound, infected and full of puss, just spreading through my veins like acid.
I scream harder, grabbing the chair again, and I smash it against the decking again, crying I fall to my knees clutching my heart as I cry. Everything hurt but what hurt the most was the emotional loss. I just couldn’t imagine ever feeling better again.
