*******************************************************************************************

No.... What did he mean that one of the Alpha's were died. Could it be Dylan? Or Victor? I couldn't stop the tears as they flowed threw and down my cheeks. No... I couldn't lose my mate or the man that I loved. Please God, let this not be true.

I heard a howl miles away, could it be? That cry was full of sorrow and lost. That howl was only made when someone you love or care about has died... Or the lost of someone special... Could it be that a member of the pack showing that an Alpha was dead? Please, don't let it be.

The hunter laughed at me as I cried. I felt through my bond with Dylan and Victor to see if it was true, but my mind was going blank on both ends. I cried harder, I looked up at the hunter and saw three more of them come into the room. One of them came up to me, kicking me in my ribs. I fell over. I closed my eyes as they all began to stomp on me and punch me.

What was the point in fighting back? I couldn't see clearly if my mate or the man that I loved were dead. What was the point? I decided to wait and see. Though, until they all came I let them beat me until suddenly... it stopped. I looked up at the men, they all were just standing there... then their heads fell from their shoulders  and their bodies fell to the floor. I looked up at the man who came to save me.

My heart broke when I came to realization, I cried. He was the that died. Why did it hurt so bad? Now, I'm truly lost. I can't see another day without him.

I looked up at Victor as he cut the men heads off, his body covered in blood. Where was Dylan? He told me he was going to come back. Where was he? Please don't let it be. Oscar came into the room as well, looking at me with a frightened expression. I slowly got up, crying out at the pain all over me. He moved to help me, but I pushed him away.

"Where is Dylan?" I shouted, the pack of the fighters came in. Moving closer to the metal doors. I looked at all of them, searching for Dylan.

He wasn't there.

I looked back at Victor, "What happened?" He shook his head, he looked down. I ran to him, but as always someone grabs me away. I glared at Alvin as he pulled me back. "Tell me what happened!"

"Cass, you need to calm down!" Alvin said, trying to calm me down, but he wasn't. He was the only person who could calm me down when I'm at my most dangerous. But not this time, that fucking hunter just told me that an Alpha was killed and here comes one of the two, that is not my mate, and I'm being told to calm down?

"Let me go!" I started kicking, Alvin had my arm wrapped up and my legs were the only things that I had close to a weapon. I was able to kick Alvin in the shin and even though he acted like that he didn't hurt, giving that he was still standing, he pushed me up against the wall. The whole front of my body pressed against the wall as Al held my hands behind me.

"You need to calm down, Cass" He said this time more softly.

I stopped fighting and cried, "I just want to know what had happened!"

"Je'anna... She told me that you were screaming, then she was showing so much pain and when she said 'Oh my gosh' I thought that she was indicting that you were killed... and I told Dylan. He was the wolf that was howling, he didn't see the point in living. So, he stood there as I hunter came up behind him... I tried to save him, but...." He trailed off, so that was it? Dylan was dead? And was just suppose to except that?! He was my mate. What was my purpose in this world without him?

I felt this burn in my neck, the pain was so unbearable and terrifying that I began to scream. "Cassie?" I heard Alvin ask me. I felt my body change, I felt the unexpected power follow through me. It made me feel numb... It made my heart numb. I was empty, and nothing could fill it up other than bitter sweet revenge. "Fuck!" Al let me go and ran back, going far away from me. I looked at Victor, he began shaking saying no repeatedly. What was going on?

"Cassie, please." Victor said, I cried out. Why was this happening? Everyone flinched back.

"Why him?!" I screamed. "Why did it have to be him!" The anger was endless and the pain was getting numb and my soul was feeling hollow.

"Cassie, you need to--"

"I don't need to do anything," Suddenly the urge to hurt Victor was overwhelming. I needed to go, before I did something I'd regret later.

'No you wouldn't, it'll feel good. You'll be happy again.' A voice said, What the fuck was that? I looked around the room. Who the hell was that?

'I'm Kathy, your Rogue. I plan on being here for a while, Cassandra.'

Rogue? What? I can't be a Rog--

               '...Be without a mate. They will turn Rogue and be killed...' Crazy Jenny voice repeated over and over in my mind... I'm a Rouge now, because I have no mate I am now a Rogue.

 "I need... I need to find him..." I looked at Victor, the urge to now kill him so unbearable. "I need to leave."

'No you need to stay and kill him!'

"Shut up! Shut up!" I screamed, putting my hands over my ears. "Make it stop!" Victor ran up to me, holding me to him.

"Please, don't do this Cassie. Don't listen to it." I held on tighter to Victor. "Now, she's just talking, but soon she'll be able to control you... Don't let her!"

I felt my breathing slow down.

'KILL HIM!"

'NO!"

"You better do it or I will!'

I looked at the side of Victor's head, I moved closer to his ear, "I'm so sorry." I whispered and I attacked, throwing him across the room, he hit the metal doors making a dint in them. I held back the Rogue inside of me as she tried to get free. I let Oscar come up to me and throw me out of the window. I landed at least 20 meters away from the house. "Thank you." I whispered to Oscar, I saw him nod once as I ran the other way.

'We have to kill him!'

'No! I need to find Dylan so I can rid of your ass.'

'Yeah, good luck with that. I plan on staying here as long as I like.'

I shivered at the horror of hearing this voice for the rest of my life. I needed to find Dylan, was there a possibility he was still alive? I felt through our mate bond for him, but it came up blank again. A tear fell from my eye. Please God, let me find him. I closed my eyes as I felt that familiar sharp pain.

OK, I'm going to end it there! Even though I didn't want to end it here. i just want to let everyone know that there are three more chapters left before the final chapter and the chapters will be longer! :). I do plan on doing a sequel for Payback Hurts, but I just want to let everyone know that I really love writing this story and I'm glad that you gave it a chance! And sorry about the way I changed the word Rogue up like hundred times in there, I'm going to edit this whole thing when I'm finished. :)
