It all happened so suddenly, the fight,her being stabbed, Thomas's betrayal, my loves confession. All of it seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.
Now here I am cradling Tatiana in my arms as my men look on some angry some hurt.
Nathaniel-who has never been real emotional- places his hand on my shoulder, tears running down his face.
"Alpha, she's gone. She wouldn't want you to be this way."
I growl at him shaking his hand off of me,"No! I promised she was going to be alright and dammit she is! Where the fuck is the MEDIC!"
"Coming sir." Logan my very slow medic calls kneeling beside Tatiana checking for a pulse.
He frowns shaking his head, that's never a good sign. Please don't tell me she's gone she can't leave me. She's my sanity without her I don't know what I'll do.
He looks up at me pursing his lips,"A-Alpha...there's no pulse,she's gone."
It's like my reason for living has been stolen. My whole life shattered, I always thought being trapped in this house with no self control was bad. It's nothing compared to the feeling of losing her.
Holding my princess against my chest I rock her lifeless body kissing her face,"Please baby come back to me. I-I can't do this without you. I love you."
I carry her inside still clutching her tight trying to keep her warm. Not like she can feel it anyway.
"Alpha?"
Dylan takes one look at my face and immediately drops to the ground beside herself in pain.
"Oh no no no, this shouldn't have happened! It should've been me!"
Tears pool from my eyes but I continue walking through the house to the backyard.
I carry her down to the lake I brought her to on our first date. Sitting with her watching the clouds become darker. Rain pours from the sky but I could care less.
"You really love her huh?"
That fucking voice, I hate that fucking voice. Kassie of all people pops up just to spite me.
Laying Tatiana down gently I tackle Kassie wrapping my hands around her throat squeezing.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right fucking now."
Her smug expression disappears and her eyes grow wide. "She wasn't right for you, I was! I still am!"
"She was my future! My mate, the woman I was made to love and cherish and you took her away from me!" I sob. "I know I left a trail of broken hearts and I'm sorry I'm so fucking sorry. You need to let me go Kassie, I've had enough of your bullshit."
Her face turns purple, her eyes become bloodshot but I can't will myself to ease up. Everything in me screams to kill this bitch although I know it won't bring Tatiana back.
"You stole the one thing in this world I loved more than I loved myself. I'd give anything to have her back."
Ready to snap her neck, cold wet arms wrap around my chest. A soft kiss on my temple sends tingles up my spine.
"Don't kill her." Her voice so calm makes my heart jump.
"I'm hallucinating." I mumble. I've clearly gone off the deep end. I watched her die so this can't be right.
"Kassie stop fucking with me." I snarl my grip tightening.
"I'm not." She mouths. "Not me."
"Alessandro, let her go."
I close my eyes taking a deep breath in. Her scent, she's alive.
Shoving Kassie away she coughs crawling as fast as she can away.
I spin around facing Tatiana studying her sweet features. Her beautiful eyes, her tan skin, my mark on her shoulder. It really is her.
"You're alive." I breathe holding her kissing her lips. "Princess I love you so much."
"I love you too."
I don't think I'll ever get used to her saying that. It's like a breath of fresh air everytime she does.
She did it. She broke the curse, I got through to her. She loves me, I can't believe I got her to love me.
"You really love me?"
"Alessandro I wouldn't be alive if I didn't." She chuckles.
"I never thought this day would come." She holds my face in her small hands.
"We were meant to be." She whispers.
