He smirks and eats another mouth full making me frown. "You just insulted your own kind you know that right?" Joey says, I shrug "so it's true. What do we smell like when we are in wolf form and it's raining?" I say knowingly. He's grumbles knowing I won so I smirk. Turning back to jase I give him the puppy dog look making him freeze and look anywhere but me. I do it harder adding a little whimper for effect but he doesn't look so I huff. I stand and sit in front of him before shifting into my wolf which barely fit in the fort. He had no choice but to look at me now so I give him the puppy eyes and whimper again placing my head in his lap. I can see him about to give in so I gently swipe my paw on his leg whimpered again looking up at him. I hear joey groan "just give it her how can you resist that adorable look. It's so cute" he says in awe. I'm pretty sure he's either a big wimp or he's gay. It doesn't bother me if he is but it would make sense.
Jase sighs and hands me the ice cream so I shift back feeling happy and quickly take the ice cream from him. He mutters things about me being a 'cheater' and 'damn wolf' but I just laugh and eat my ice cream. My parents are out for the night because my dad takes her out one night a week to spoil her with dinner and stuff. It gives then alone time so it's cool.

Once all the foods gone we groan and lay down "I'm so tired" I say and they grunt in agreement. So I lay in between them and get comfy "night" I say quietly. They mumble night as we all drift off.

My wolf growling wakes me up so I look around for danger seeing none. 'What's wrong?' I ask worried as she gets louder 'mate in trouble' she whimpers. I freeze..mate? My mates here. I don't think I'm ready to meet him but I can't leave him in danger. I jump up quickly and slip my combat boots on once I leave the fort that my brothers are still asleep in. It's about three in the morning still dark. I'm only in silk short shorts and a silk top matching with my underwear obviously. I don't bother grabbing a jacket and just run outside letting my wolf take the lead. Ten minutes of running and I smell something delicious along with blood. I take back control and run faster through some trees, I see what's looks like fighting in the distance. oh no. 'I don't want to fight again' I whimper to my wolf she softens up 'I know but we have to protect him I'm sorry' she says quietly. I know she's right so I join the fight seeing five rogues only one stands out to me. His massive size only having one bite mark and a big scratch down his side. His eyes snap to mine and we lock eyes, the other rogues used this distraction and jumped at his throught before he or I could react. The bit into his throught deep not letting go he tries pulling away only causing more damage. Everything slows down as he looses way to much blood but I snap out of it. I grab the rogue biting him and tear it's mouth apart killing it. They all jump at me I hear a growl but ignore it and focus. I shift and meet one half way, I slice his jugular with my claw going for the next one getting it's neck in my mouth. I almost gag at the taste but kill him quickly. The last one comes at me so I shift back and grab him by the throught with my hand. I pulled him to the ground and swung myself to the other side hearing his neck snap as I did. I land crouched and let go of him, I run to my mate worry running through me. I couldn't lose another to rogues. I don't know him but I feel connected to him like I've known him all my life but at the same time I haven't. I sit next to him "breath just breath" I say soothingly as memories of leon like this cane back. 'Mum please come quick!' I say crying and panicked. 'What's wrong where are you?' She replies sounding groggy obviously just woke up. 'There's dead rogues and my dying mate' I say quickly 'I'm in the forest please hurry I can't lose anyone else. Bring all your medical stuff and the pack doctor' I say she replies that she's on her way but said to keep calm so my mate would stay calm.

"I need you to shift back" I say stroking his head. He changes quickly so I rip his shirt in half and place it on his neck applying pressure. He winces and breaths heavier "you can't die on me." I whisper to him as tears appeared in my eyes. I couldn't help leon but I can him and ill be dammed if I let him die on me. "What's your name?" He whispers his voice deep but barely noticeable. I smile at him "Scarlett..you?" I say softly he grins slightly "hunter" he whispers again. I nod "what are you doing out here?" I ash him, he freezes for a second before shrugging slightly. "Running from my past I guess" he says quietly, I give him a small smile "I wish I ran" I murmer truthfully. He looked at me confused "from what?" He says, a lump forms in my throught so I clear it. "Let's just say I was in the wrong place at the wrong time five years ago" I whisper. I'm not ready for him to know everything so ill do what jase said. I'll accept him but we'll go slow. He goes to ask ask another question when my mum comes with my dad and brothers along with along with the pack doctor. I move out of the way as they take control. I could hear his heart rate slowing so I crawl backwards rocking myself as I shut my eyes tightly. I can't lose him. This happened with Leon. I'll be alone forever if he..dies. and all because I came along. If I didn't come here he wouldn't have got distracted and we wouldn't be in this situation. It's all my fault just like it's my fault when leon died. If I had just woke up then he would still be here. With me.

I sob as realisation hits me painfully hard. My dad and brothers kneel in front of me as I open my eyes. "It's my fault dad it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone for a run. I shouldn't" I sob curling into myself, he reaches out to hug me but I flinch as all the memories of abuse came back. I scramble backwards, fear cursing through my body. They look at me worry on there faces but all I could think was him how his hands forced there way into me. Along with other parts of his body. When men came to beat me daily. When..leon..died. him in my arms flows through my mind all my last memories with him.

I shut my eyes tightly when I see a misty figure appear at the height and build of leon. It can't be him I'm imagining things. I open them again to see he's still there smiling at me "leon" I whisper breaking down. He nods smiling "Momma have to let go of past I happy flying high like you said" his angelic voice replies. I nod with tears running down my face "your my past angel I can't let you go" I whisper to him smiling. He smiles still his face lighting up "Hunter is your future I've seen momma you have to let me go" he says. I cry but give him his wish and let all my emotions out I forgive my self. He starts to fade making me panic "it ok momma I'm your angel now" he says giving my forehead a kiss. I nod to him telling him I love him as he dissappears. I break down for the last time at what he said. It was the last thing I said to him before he died. But this time I got to say a proper goodbye only it hurt just as much. I felt happy knowing he's happy.

I breath heavily and crawl over to hunter. Leon said I have a future with hunter so that means he's gonna live. I sit by his head as he looks at me with worry "I'm ok now everything's ok" I whisper stroking his hair back from his face. He gives me a small smile and nods. Everything's different now it's like just seeing leon one last time yes it hurt but I've somehow healed some more from him being happy and I know he's watching me. Protecting me. He wants me to be happy and heal so ill do my best to do that.

I'll be updating later on today :) comment what you think :) thanks
