Rias pov:
A scream left my lips as i took in the horrific picture. I screamed again and fell to the floor. No.. This was a joke. Sobs hit my body and i struggled to breathe. I felt nauseated and an urgent need to throw up. I could faintly hear the frantic footsteps coning from the right side of me. "Ria" His voice laced with panick. I wasn't able to reply as i continued to sob. The only thing i felt was pain. His hands pulled at my arms to make me stand up. "Ria whats wrong?" His voice filled with worry and confusion. I got up with the help of his arms on my wobbly legs as i bent over on the sink to throw up because of the gruesome images. "Fuck Ria are you okay? What the hell is happening are you okay?" He asked as he held my hair. I quickly washed my face, having some kind of hope. Maybe these pictures were to scare me. They're not real. With that i quickly ran upstairs to get my phone, leaving gabe behind. "DAMN IT RIA TELL ME SOMETHING!" He shouted. I chose to ignore him but he quickly followed me upstairs. I grabbed my phone in a flash and it nearly fell down. I dialled the number i needed and waited. With every bell ringing i felt my world collapse.
It went straight to voice mail. I tried again. Maybe they're just busy, calm down i told myself. It went straight to voice mail again. No, i wasn't giving up like this. I dialled it the third time and just when i was about to hang up i heard the emotionless voice of the person i haven't heard from so long in "hello" I breathed a sigh of relief. "Hello Alexander! Finally
where are-? Before i had the chance to say anything else he cut me off. "Im so sorry ria, they're no more" Thats when my world shattered.

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds i do not agree the wounds remain. In time the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens but it is never gone'
I knew i would never get over with the pain. The wounds in my heart were so deep i wondered if it was ever going to heal. I had my fair share of crying sobbing and screaming but now i felt nothing. I felt numb. Even with my mates hand resting on mine. He was enraged when he saw the photos. I stared off into space as i heard other people crying behind me. "Would anyone like to say anything" I remained quiet and continued staring. The cold chilly air blew against my naked arms and legs and i felt the need to tug down my black dress a little. The weather pretty much matched my emotions. Cold. I could see people getting up and retreating to their cars and going home. A few men came up to the two black coffins and picked them up to put then in the graves. Where they'll be.. Forever. I quickly got up from my seat and walked over to the coffins. I could hear the crunch of the leaves beneath my feet as i walked. When i reached the two coffins i let my fingers trail along the smooth cold wood. "I love you mom and dad. Forever" I whispered and moved away. I watched as the coffin was pushed down under the grave and it just felt so wrong. I began to feel nauseated and dizzy when i ran to the forest to throw up again. After i was done throwing up, i felt a warm hand on shoulder. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Gabe moved infront of me and passed me a water bottle and i quickly washed my face. He kept his eyes on me as i did so. When i was done he grabbed my hand and pulled me back towards our car.

The car ride back home was silent. Gabe made no attempt to talk to me which i was thankful to him for. He was my rock in these past three days. He was always there when i needed him. When we arrived back home i took of my shoes and and slumped down on the couch, closing my eyes. "Do you want anything to eat?" I heard gabe ask me. I quickly shook my head, not feeling hungry. He sighed and i could hear him shuffling and fixing me something to eat. I heard the doorbell ring but i made no attempt to get up. I didn't care. I heard gabe open the door. "Alpha gabriel i hope I'm not disturbing" a familiar voice filled my ears. My eyes flew open to see Alexander standing at the door. Alexander was the Alpha of the pack i belonged to before. Now his son was the Alpha and his second son the beta, after my father.. I shook my head. My parents were gone. I pushed back the tears in my eyes as i got up and briefly hugged him. He looked older. He had a dew strands of grey hair and his eyes looked tired.
Gabe closed the door after he sat on the couch with me and gabe sitting infront of him. "I know its not a good time to be discussing this eight now ria but you need to know" He started. I took a deep breath, trying to ready myself for what was coming. "He's back ria" he stated in a cold voice. "No one knew how he got in to your parents room who had just returned from their holiday, he ordered them to bring you back, he had a knife pointed to your mothers throat and told your father if he called anyone she would pay the price" i suddenly felt nauseated again, imagining the image. "Both of them rejected him on telling him, so he killed both of them" i cringed recalling the photos. Their lifeless bodies on the floor with puddles of blood. "He wanted you to come home to your parents on your own an then murder them and take you with him" I kept the tears from my eyes. Nate. He didn't let me go. I could feel gabe shaking with range besides me and i put my hand on his to calm him down. "Im going to kill that son of a bitch" gabe stood up and punched the wall. "How do you know this?" I asked alexander.
"He left me a note" he sighed. "He threatened my family too" i sighed and rubbed my temple. This was all my fault. Everyone was dying because of me. "I'll inform you when i have news" with that he got up and walked out. I felt gabe wrap his arms around me and i did not hesitate to let the water works explode on his chest.


"Ria wake up" i felt some one shaking me. I peeled open my heavy eyes to see gabe sitting on the bed besides me, his fingers lightly brushing my hair
"Whats the time?" I asked in my sleepy voice. "Baby its two in the afternoon" he replied while stroking my hair. "Woah" i whispered. "I was out that late?" I remember sleeping at ten last night. I quickly got up and the sun light shining through the window hit my face . I liked the feel of the sun of my face. It had been a week since since the demise of my parents. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked and rubbed my back. I nodded and gave him a small smile. "Im going to shower" i told him and got up quickly. "Why don't you get ready and we'll go out" he smiled and i nodded. He walked off amd closed the door behind him. I walked towards the bathroom and looked at my self and gasped at my reflection. The girl standing in front of me had her face in a half updo looking wild. Her eyes looked tired and had bags under her eyes. I looked like a zombie. I had to stay strong. I raised my head and went to my closet. What would gabe think? He would think of me as so ugly. With a new hope i stripped off and jumped in the hot shower. I shaved my body and shampooed and conditioned my hair. When i got out i blowed dryed my hair and curled them in beach waves. I put on black high waisted black skinny jeans and nude crop top with a black short cardigan over it. I put on nude lipstick and winged eyeliner. I sprayed some perfume and put on my black heels. I smiled to myself and went back to the bathroom to get one final look. Just as i was about to walk out something caught my eye.

Gabriel's pov:
I got dressed in a black button down and black jeans and styled my hair. Ria was going through so much. I sighed as i put on my watch. I went to my office and sat down, signing some papers. Ria knocked on my door and came in. She looked so beautiful. My eyes raked over her body with lust filled eyes. "You looked beautiful" i smiled at her. "Gabe" she whispered, she looked shocked. I frowned "whats wrong?" I asked getting up.

"Gabe, i think I'm pregnant"
