::Sarah's POV::
This was not over!
My mother's scent faded away quickly with the wind. Adam, Derrick, and Janet have made their way into the clearing.
''Are you okay?'' Janet asked.
''b***h I know you don't like attention or compliments but that was hella dramatic!'' Adam exclaimed.
''We were worried about you, what happened.'' Derrick queued in.
How was I supposed to answer so many questions at once? I wasn't sure whether I was okay. And Adam did not know what had happened to even deem me being dramatic. Yes, sure I ran away at a huge applause, but initially it wasn't my fault... or my will. I narrowed my eyes at my wolf. And then Derrick's response was something he usually always said. Everyone worries about me all the time, but frankly, when will there be a time for them not to?
''I just needed some air, my wolf was acting up.'' I lied.
''I've had enough of this!'' Adam put his hands on his hips, ''This lying games need to stop Sarah!''
''Wh- What are you talking about?'' I lied again, but more sheepishly.
''b***h! We've been best friends since we were young, we obviously can read you like a book. You think we don't know when you are lying to us? It's really funny because only since you've came to this place have you started doing that shit.'' Adam was really upset now.
''You ever wonder why we suddenly just show up out of nowhere at your convenience? We leave our own mates behind to make sure you are safe...''
''NO ONE TOLD YOU TO!'' I spat out of anger.
''HAVE I EVER ASKED YOU TO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS FOR ME? NO! SO WHY DO YOU NEED TO FEEL THE PRAISING OF DOING SO?'' I felt my tears fly into the wind.
''It's because we are your best friends.'' Derrick said with a calm voice, ''We cannot help you if you do not want our help.''
''THEN I DON'T NEED ANY OF Y-''
Before I could continue I felt a firm smack across my face. My anger paused as my expression changed into surprise when I turned my head. Billy had his head down with visible tears dropping to the floor.
''Don't ever say you don't need us.'' he whispered, ''Don't ever be that selfish.''
But I felt the tone in me start to blurt out, ''YOU BARELY EVEN KNOW ME AND VICE VERSA! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT-''
''BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!'' He yelled at me.
''It's because we love you that we do these things for you, even if we aren't your mate, even if you are too stubborn to let us in. We don't give up on each other, and it's really unfair that it is a one sided relationship. We are your friends. Time does not deter how strong our bonds are! We understand you do not have Drake with you, which is why we currently won't allow any chance of you being alone. Can you for once, just let us in?'' he looked back down to the floor.
''We've seen you go through what you went through. I was your nurse, I attended to your wounds and well being. I knew you didn't deserve it. I know how unhappy you are inside. Especially now.'' he panted.
I didn't have anything else to say, I stood there taking in his words. Realizing that I had made him cry, and was deaf upon his intentions. I really was a horrible person. I was selfish. But I am lonely, I am sad, and I am scared.
''Look I'm not very good with words Sarah,'' Derrick stepped in and embraced me, ''But you know we would always choose you.''
Adam nodded his head, so did Billy and Janet. I felt a huge wave of guilt wash over me as I cried to the moon.
''I'M SORRY!'' I kept repeating those words while streaming up the waterworks, ''I'M SCARED AND LOST! I DIDN'T WANT ANY OF YOU TO GET HURT!''
''Well you aren't alone.'' Derrick squeezed me tighter, ''But you have to work with us, we want to protect you.''
Adam and Janet joined in with the hug. Billy remained a few feet away from us.
''I'm sorry about hitting you.'' he mumbled, ''It's just you've been real distant lately.''
I broke free from their hugs and wrapped my arms around Billy, ''No... you are right. I'm sorry.''
I felt his tears stain into my shoulder. He sobbed and hugged me back. What was I doing? Why was I hiding things and lying to my friends? I can't do this alone. As much as I hate to admit it I did need their help.
''I'm sorry for ruining your birthday.'' I sulked as I let go of him.
Billy seemed to calm down a bit, ''There's always a next year, but there is only one of you.''
Those words could build my tears back up but Janet went to his side.
''I know things have been rough, but let us unwind just for tonight. We do not plan on being sitting ducks while our alpha is missing. Just know Sarah, you aren't alone, and we will be with you until the end.''
Billy and I both sniffled our last bit of sobs. Before we left I took a moment to look back into the clearing. I heard the words my mom's voice echoed through the wind ''Are you so sure about that?''. I hadn't been taking much attention to what she had said, but had she actually been looking out for me? From the shadows?
I didn't know how to feel or handle anything anymore, but right now I needed my friends. And tonight may just be the last night that we get to enjoy each other's company. I then slowly looked at the moon. It's soft rays shimmered upon my skin.
Oh Moon Goddess, please... please guide me.
''C'mon Sarah let's go.'' Derrick signaled me to follow.
I did.
::Drake's POV::
I had hoped that this was all just a dream, but as my eyes adjusted to the darkness that surrounded me I knew that it wasn't. The dimmed moonlight bars from above indicated that it was night fall. My wolf and I had been passed out since I got here. But, it felt like forever.
The pain of the wolfs bane on all four major movement parts of my body; my quads, and my arms, was still as agonizing as it was before. I didn't have Sarah here to heal me, god I hope she is safe. I could hear Terry whimpering and searching for her in the back of my head, despite him being in so much pain. He was vulnerable right now, and I didn't like him in this state.
''S-sarah...'' I said under my breath.
Just that one little hope and I heard the dungeon doors swing open. I was still locked in this bullshit chains and couldn't find the strength in me to move any further.
''So how was your nap?'' that f*****g damned Megan.
I was already fuming at the sight of her, nearly having bubbles form at my jaws.
''Oh dear,'' she slowly approached with that stupid cockiness of hers, ''What's wrong baby? You hungry? You want a drink? You want me?'' she winked.
My eyes raged and I pulled against the chains which shot me back to my position and allowed more wolf bane into my body. I fell to my knees and felt veins popping through out my neck and body. The pain was intense and I felt as if my body was going to explode.
''I don't get why you just didn't let her go.'' Megan circled me, carefully avoiding the amount of wolfs bane herself, ''I could have made you on happy man.''
As if!
''You're nowhere near as great as Sarah.'' I stumbled my words out.
''Hmmm...'' she continued as she stopped to get eye level with me, ''That mutt probably done forgotten about you. Poor thing. That's why my good heartedness is here to take care of you. Well... at least until your memory gets wiped. Then I don't know.''
''What do- you mean?'' I panted.
''Well I like you how you are now, but have you truly forgotten who you were before all of these feelings came into play? Before you met your mistake of a mate? I myself might want to barricade from you when that time comes.'' she taunted.
I tried to reminisce those horrible memories because thanks to Sarah for her safe haven I completely had forgotten myself. It was a journey I did not want to admit to, a ruthless, and bloody journey! All those lives taken by my hands and at my words, mercilessly. I shook my head back in pain as I was indeed the monster that many feared, I was the blood alpha that the military used as a weapon to win the king's many wars.
Back then it didn't matter to me, I was filled with hate and had a void in my heart. I yearned for a mate to change me for the better, and Sarah happened to be that mate! I miss her. I miss her so much. That vanilla cinnamon scent combo couldn't be beat. That smile she wore was my daily mission to keep.
But now I cannot complete that, she is once again in danger. I sunk my head in despair, wondering if she would have stood away from me if she knew how I was back then. My scars of war only shown my physical past, but never my reasons. Now I'm f****d here!
I suddenly heard Megan's phone vibrate and she wandered towards the door. She swiped to answer it as she opened the door. But she just stood there, as if she wanted and knew I wanted to hear.
''Hello?'' she stereo-typically answered.
Then I heard the voice on the other side. My eyes widened to the maximum. Fear and anger exploded within me. All I kept doing was yelling, yelling on deaf ears.
''Is it almost ready?'' Megan ignored me.
''Yes indeed,'' he said in a proper tone, ''Unfortunately, not quite yet.''
''The plan has been prolonged a little too much we must make our move.'' Megan sneered.
''Ah yes, she won't be going anywhere without my knowledge. You can count on it. However, hows my alpha doing?''
''Oh, the usual. The yelling and snarling at me, but I kinda think it's hot!'' she giggled.
''Well I will see to it that the plan speed sup. We will rid of that filthy mutt once and for all.''
''f**k YOU! f**k YOU f**k YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!'' I spat over and over again. My mouth now drooling.
Megan tapped on her phone to end the call and then gave me one last glance before she left.
''Imagine... it took you this long to figure out who my master was. Well, I gotta go. See you when I get back baby!'' She blew an air kiss to me.
''I WILL KILL YOU I WILL KILL YOU!''
