Luke's POV:

Flashback:

She beckoned me to come close to her face and when I bent down to come closer she gently kissed me , and i kissed back.I couldn't help the tears that started to pour from my eyes.

She looked deep into my eyes and spoke.

"I love you too Luke and I always will"

Her voice sounded so frail and weak. Her skin which was always a beautiful golden brass color was now very,very pale almost lifeless color. She was no longer the warm body I held hand with just at the movie theatre. The mate that had just forgiven me , kissed me, and told me she loved me was dying right in front of my very eyes. These things that I never thought would happen are happening right now and yet she is being taken away from me so soon.

Her frail little hand dropped back down to her side and I couldn't help but cry harder as I looked at her face , still so beautiful even in pain. I heard her gasp an writhe in pain . Everything she felt I felt also. The pain she was in was horrible . It was like I was shot and stabbed too.

A tear slid from her eye and I couldn't help but know what was going to happen next. I didn't want to let her die like this but I knew at this point nothing could be done.

"I hope you're in a better place my angel" I said and kissed her on the forehead

Since all I could do is sit and do nothing and cry, that's just what I did.

I knew what was going to happen but Jace, K.C, and Jaxon didn't want to believe it. They sat calling out her name and begging her not to close her eyes but it was no use. She gasped one last time and I saw her eyes close. Relaxing in my hands one last time she took another peaceful breath until she stopped moving and I heard her heart stop beating.

And just like that my beautiful mate was gone.

(Present to when Layah took he last breath)

I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't feel anything.

Everything didn't seem real anymore.

A piece of me was gone.

I sat and looked at her now peaceful face laying in my arms. They kept calling her name and shaking her I guess they thought that would wake her up. But nothing was going to help . She was gone and not coming back. I could feel how much peace she was in.

The fighting was already over and there were around two hundred dead rouge bodies laying around the front yard. I had already mind linked my other pack members to gather up the bodies and burn them so not trace they were ever here would be gone. I sat there with had boy in my arms rocking back and forth crying and praying that a miracle would happen to bring her back. I was too busy crying that I hadn't heard three of my pack members approach me.

"Luke?" my beta Jude asked cautiously .

"Yes" I whisper back.

"I know I can't imagine the pain you're in and I will help as much as I can but we need to take her body down to the pack hospital and morgue"

"I know that" I whispered back . I turned to Layah's body and kissed her forehead one last time before I gently laid her head down on the ground and stood up beside my beta and four other pack members.

I heard a ruffle in the grass behind me coming from the pack house door. I turned to see two pack doctors coming down with a body bag and a stretcher. They walked over and I nodded telling them it was okay to pick her up. They put her body in the body bag and on to the stretcher and wheeled her into the house down to the infirmary.

"I'm sorry for your loss Luke , she's in a better place now" Jude said placing a hand on my shoulder. In response I responded my nodding my head because right now that was all I could do. I felt numb . Like all of this was fake.

I heard them walk away and I stood there for two minutes until I finally got the strength to walk back into the house and lock the door behind me. When I got into the house I could see that nobody was seriously hurt only a few bumps and bruises. Word had already got around people were walking up to me giving me their condolences .

Seriously they want to apologize now? But when she was alive and living here they bullied her?! It made me sick to my stomach but being their alpha I respected them and nodded my head at them telling them thank you. I mind linked my beta and told him to tell everyone that there would be a pack meeting and I walked up to my room. I walked up to my room and shut my door. Walking to the bathroom and looking into my mirror and looking at my tear stained face I washed my face and assured there weren't any other stains on my face.

It hasn't even been a full day Layah was gone and I was already feeling the separation pain you felt when your mate died.

After assuring my face was cleaned I walked back downstairs to where the pack was gathered and stood at the podium and began my speech.

"As you may know earlier today we were unexpectedly attacked by rouges. There were no fatalities in this pack . Most of you were not harmed much and got away with only bumps and bruises. But I am sorry to say that one of the reinforcements sent to help protect the pack was killed . Not only was she their alpha she was also the love of my life and my mate" when I said that half of the pack gasped some said the condolences to Jace, K.C, and Jaxon. I struggled to pull myself together and not to cry and spoke again.

" This unexpected but it won't be their last time. We have less than two months to train hard until the real battle will be fought. Only the toughest man standing will win. We have had problems with these rogues before and an end will be put to their destruction. Although there are other packs around here they seem to only want to target us. We don't know why but we will get to the bottom of the problem .Their leader will be killed and so will the pack . To complete this vigorous training will be done . No slacking will be tolerated. Training will begin again as soon as the reinforcement see fit. This meeting is over try to get some sleep . Goodnight " I said and I immediately walked up stairs to my room.

I took a shower and dressed into a tank top and boxers. I laid down and turned on my tv. I was disturbed by my door opening and shutting .

"Hey baby I thought you could use some company " a voice said trying to sound seductive but sounding annoying

Why the hell could she possibly want now? Didn't she see I wanted to be alone?!!!!......
