A/N: Comments get me going, don't forget to leave yours as you read! don't forget to leave votes too, thank you!

He felt her the very moment he stepped out of the car, the wave of her scent, surrounding him, and messing up the pace of his heart as he fought to take control over his emotions. He tried to calm his devil, fighting to stop his body from moving to where he knew she stood. He knew if he saw her, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

So, he frowned, clenched his jaw, and blocked out all thoughts as his eyes found Brody Huffin's parents.

He wished he felt guilty for killing their only son, but he didn't.

Everyone knew that they had to stay away from the Bane woods. Though, despite how long the unspoken has been in place, no one could come up with a solid reason why. For most people, it is what it is, and they didn't question it.

The humans were meant to be aware of what lay in the woods at the dead of night, but they weren't meant to go see for themselves, they were meant to partially believe and hang on to that fear.

But that Brody kid just had to cross the line that night.

Ignorance, sometimes could kill a whole lot of people than aging, sickness or random accidents.

Brody was ignorant, and he knew that, due to the fact that Mikaela had tried to talk him out of continuing their late-night rendezvous at the Bane woods.

But this was part of tradition, he had to take care of the parents whose child had fallen.

He could feel his devil scratch at his walls.

Kai had never been so confused in his entire life. With Cassandra being almost impossible to shrug off, and the ache he felt from being so far away from his soulmate, His heart was stretched in the most unbearable way.

Which way would he follow? Naturally, what he was supposed to have done was put an end to his relationship with Cassandra, and explain to Elfrida why she felt so connected to him.

He couldn't deny the fact that he was scared, scared of what her reaction to the truth would be.

Would she take the next bus out of Westbane? Surely, he couldn't let her leave, and he as well couldn't stomach the thought of taking her to the Bane woods against her will, she had to accept this... accept him.

What could he possibly do?

Get to know her, work on their connection by making it stronger, and then tell her the truth?

What human would want to be in a relationship with a monster? Especially a human as beautiful as she was? This was harder than he thought it would be.

Having a soulmate wasn't on his bucket list this year, nor in his new year's resolutions, and not even considered when choosing his birthday wishes, and he wasn't prepared.

He wasn't prepared for her rejection. The pain it'll cause him to know she was in pain because she rejected him.

Why did things have to be so complicated?

Focusing on blocking off the thoughts, he made his way over to the Huffins.

Mrs. Huffins was the first one to see him. "Oh, Mr. Labrosky. Thank you for coming." She said, her voice thick with tears.

He opened his arms wide as she accepted the hug.

He channeled his strength, laying his hand on her back as he spoke. "Brody is in a better place, and he's frowning at you right now... you know he wouldn't want you to cry, yet, you're doing just that."
