Stefan ran as fast as he could. The wolfsbane laxative was making him dizzy. He was passed out all this time. The thought angered him much more than he thought it would. He had woken up to crashing and sounds of growls. And he couldn't even transform with the lethargic solution running through his body. He wanted to curse Steven and Kevin. But atleast he had woken up in time. He was there to catch Evan when he collapsed due to strain. And atleast had time to hide Evan and the Kid along with Steven in the basement Cells. Those places proved to be the safest for now. And now he was running back to his mate. Not that he expected his mate to hold off the tiger when he was creeping at them to attack. 

As much as he wanted to stay behind with his mate Stefan prayed that he could pull it off. And the tiger was already injured.

So he had no choice but to run with Steven. They would die for their brother, and their brother's mate mate was in danger. Moreover their brother was going to be a father. Evan was pregnant. They can't let their brother-in-law and thier nephew or niece to die. Stefan needed to do this. Leaving his mate to fight alone.

Lots of thoughts were ransacked his mind as he ran back to Sebastian.  After so many years of being mated, he never was able to wish for a child. At least he was doing something for his brother. Who deserved nothing but happiness.Though he was a dumb idiot. Still he loved his mate dearly. Unlike his  mate…

Sebastian

One of the reason that he had never consider to get pregnant. It would be unhealty to raise a kid in their toxic household. Even when he sees that warmth in Sebastian’s eyes whenever he sees children. He could see the care that the Beta gives to the war orphans , indeed it was real. While for him…he never cared.

And despite all of that, he loved for him…

He couldn’t help it. Still after knowing that his mate was involed in the coup he couldn't hate him.

He loved him so much that he would forgive him. And he would love him.again.

Smell of blood filled his nostrils. It was intermixed with his mate's scent.
Stefan felt Panic as he sprinted towards the smell. And stood frozen at the scene in front of him. And he felt numb. It was nothing like the fear he felt, when he saw Evan bleeding. It was just numbness. As Sebastian layed in a pool of his blood with a leg torn apart. And a gash on his stomach.

“Sebastian stay with me…” he wanted to say but not a single word was coming out of his mouth.

Sebastian

He wanted to laugh.

“…I managed to stop them from going after you…. You know…” Sebastian spoke coughing up blood.

“…Why are you talking now?... Stop talking it will be okay" Stefan spoke as he kneeled beside Sebastian.

Sebastian smiled at him.

“It's okay…it's nothing…I don't deserve”

Stefan remained silent. Still kneeling.

“I wanted to say sorry.........but I wanted to do something for you....... even if it meant death”

Stefan could feel Sebastian breathing heavily and he held him in his arms  tightly.

“… I…I love you not your brother.…not anymore… it hurts me terribly that I was such a jerk to you… at some point while thinking these day I wished you would just stab me to death…and punish me”

Sebastian coughed blood. His vision turned dark caused by a major blood loss form his wounds.

“Is Evan safe?”

“yeah…” Stefan murmured still holding his mate tight.

“I am already dying… we don't need to revoke the bond”

“…”

"Can you tell Evan 'I am Sorry'"

".... "

“… Be happy Stefan,… I hope you could forgive me.....but more than that please listen to my dying wish...Please.…try to find your happiness…leave this place and fall in love again. Promise me”

“…”

“…Promise me…”

" I can't Sebastian"

“”

Stefan cried finding it absurd, the situation. Sebastian coughed more blood. His mate was requesting him to fall in love, and he was wasting time instead of taking Sebastian to Steven and Evan. The pack docter should have reached there by now. She could save Sebastian. It didn't look like his wound on the stomach was deep. If treated and blood is replenised he could survive. A leg or two is nothing before his life.

Quickly he opened his shirt and tore it to pieces. He tied the wounds tightly and stood up and carrying his mate.  His mate raised his head to look at him confused. But Stefan paid no heed. He ignored his lethargic muscles as he ran towards the basement-cells. 

Even if Sebastian chose to give up on himself, Stefan won't, he would fight for his mate and love him all the same.

Nothing else mattered. He couldn't loose Sebastian, not now not ever.He could feel the wind as he kept running. The world seemed to pass by him. But he didn't stop.

But he felt a strange happiness with Sebastian in his arms.

He wanted to say it to him when he woke up. Not now not as last words. He wanted to let Sebastian know that he is forgiven. And that he would like his mate to say he loved him again and  promise that he would cling to him and make it up to him.

More importantly he wanted Sebastian to hear it, so he has to survive.

Then only Stefan could say it back to him.

…I love you…
