This was it. These next few minutes would tell whether my short time on Earth was over yet again, or if I would live to see another day with Kailen.

I prayed that it wouldn't be my last. But the Moon Goddess had already guided me through nearly everything, and something in my gut told me that it would be up to me this time. Something in me told me that I was going to have to fight for what I wanted or die trying.

I looked at my mom, trying my best not to just run at her and snap her neck. I knew she was expecting me to do that, along with the rest of my pack and the witches. She was already ready for us to attack, and even though there was way more of us, she had my mate.

Somehow, she was crushing him from the inside. I knew that if we ran at her to attack her, then she would most certainly kill him.

So what were we supposed to do?

I looked at Zach, annoyed when I realized I couldn't communicate with him through the pack link. Since Zach was almost always here, I had kind of forgotten that he had his own pack. Though, his pack spent most of their time here which I found highly unusual.

But enough thinking about Zach's pack, and more thinking about how to save my mate. I knew I didn't have a lot of time to do so, and my mother must have noticed me thinking.

"Well, I'm sick of standing here in silence, so I'll jump straight to the point," She said, "I really only came here for one thing. And I'm not leaving until I get it."

I didn't even bother to ask what that one thing was, because I already knew.

"I'm not going with you."

She cocked her eyebrow at me.

"So you can go to hell."

I watched her squeeze her hand tighter, causing Kailen to drop to the ground. He couldn't even cry out in agony as my mother began crushing him from the inside. He just laid on the ground, withering like a worm, while I watched in pain and shock.

I could feel her killing him. I could feel some of his pain. And I knew that he was seconds away from dying.

"Stop!" I screamed. I rushed over to my mate, dropping down to my knees next to him. I was surprised that she let me get that close to her, but I didn't care. The only thing I cared about was my mate. I grabbed his hand, and because of the pain he was in, he squeezed my hand. He squeezed it so hard that I could feel the bones in my hand breaking.

I looked up at my mother through tearful eyes.

"Just stop hurting him, I'll go. I'll do anything."

I could hear my heart pounding in my ears, and I glanced down at my mate. He was trying to protest, but he could hardly speak. I ran my hand over his face, watching as a tear slid down his face. Though he wasn't speaking, I knew he thought I was being serious about going with my mother.

But that's where he was wrong.

That wasn't my plan at all.

I stood up slowly, staring at my mate, and then out at my pack. Everyone stared at me with worried eyes, even Grace, who didn't seem to hate me anymore. It touched my soul to know that they all cared so much, that they really saw me as a part of their pack.

This only made me more angry at my mother. The Moon Goddess had given me my life back, she had placed me in this pack that had now become my family, and my mom had the nerve to try and ruin it.
