Chapter Forty Nine

*Ivy's POV*

When I woke up the next morning something was off............really off. My mates were not in my bed with me and that made me go on edge. I tenced up even more because there was a sent in the air that I just wanted to forget but I couldn't. I scanned my room for him but no one was there. Thats when I noticed a letter with my name on it on my nightstand but when I looked at it again it didnt say my name. When I opened it, it had sent cold chills down my spine.

It read:

My dearest little mate,

I hope you haven't forgotten about me. Because I will never forget you because you're mine! You may be upset right now because we are apart love but do not worry you will be in my arms again soon.

Love your one and only mate,

Nick.

P.S. Meet me by the lake in two days at midnight or ill kill everyone you love. Starting with that stupid alpha of yours its as simple as that. Oh and one more thing tell no one whats in this note or you will live to regret it.

I felt as if my heart stopped and I couldn't breathe. How could I have been so stupid as to think he would ever forget me or give me up so easily. I clutched the letter in my hand and brought it to my chest.

My heart started beating faster making my ears start to ring, thats when I started thinking about how he got in here unnoticed. Then I realized I was left alone, I threw my blanket off me quickly and ran to my door. I swong it open quickly and ran threw the house to Ryans room. My vision started to blur from the tears as I busted into his room. He jumped out of bed and was ready to attack when he realized it was me.

I knew he could hear how fast my heart was beating and could see the tears in my eyes that were forming. I knew he could also smell the fear that was rolling off me in waves. I saw the concern look on his face and him start to say "little one are y.........." but that was all I heard before I passed out.

It was just to much to take in with everything else that has happened.

*Ryan's POV*

I had just laid down in my bed from a long night of paperwork that needed catching up on. When my little one came busting into my room. At first I didnt know who it was so I jumped up about to attack when I saw her. But something was wrong, I immediately noticed her heart rate was faster than normal. I could see tears forming in her eyes and could smell the fear rolling off her. I knew she saw my concerned look so I asked "little one are y....." was all I got out before I was darting across the room to catch her before she hit the ground completely.

I pulled her close to my chest and picked her up from the floor. Thats when I noticed she had a piece of paper in her hand. I tried to pull it out of her grip but couldnt without ripping it. No matter how I pulled at it everytime I did her grip got tighter, so now I wonder what was on that paper.

I tried to lay her in my bed so I could get some shorts on because I was only in my boxers. But as soon as I started to pull away from her she grabbed ahold of me with a death grip. I know now that what ever is in that letter is what made her like this and I wanted to know why.

I readjusted her to where I could hold her up with one arm while I used the other to put on a pair of shorts. That was no easy task, I left my room and headed back to my office. Before I got there I herd three loud growls coming from her room I just rolled my eyes and went into my office. Not even a minute later they came running in saying "shes gone!" I turned around in my chair and said "be quiet! And who is gone!?"

The look on there face said it all, I asked "why did you think she was gone?"

"Well we got up early to go shower" Leo started.

"She was still asleep so we thought if we made it quick she wouldn't know we left." Chris finished.

"Wait a minute, you mean to tell me you left her alone? After everything that has happened? You three thought it was a good idea to leave her alone?" I asked getting angry. "Dont answer that, just tell me why you thought she was gone" I said shaking my head.

"When we went back to her room her window was open and there was another sent in there." Hunter started. By the look on his face I knew who he was talking about.

Now I needed to know what was in that letter. But I already knew that it was going to be a fight with her to read it because of the grip she had on it.

A few hours had passed when she finally started to wake up in my arms. The boys were asleep on the couch. I gave her a small smile and asked "are you ok now?"She nodded her head yes slowly.

"Do you want to go to one of your mates?" I asked her, but she shook her head no quickly.

"can I see whats on that paper?" I pointed to the paper and again she shook her head no. Now I was getting worried.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I herd her whisper two words "thank you" then she got up and left quietly without saying another word. I sat there watching the door for a few minutes before I said quite loudly "wake up and get out" and they did too when they noticed she was not here.

I sat there and thought to myself, shes planning something. And if im correct, its something really stupid. She never says thank you like that unless..........

As I sat there I shook my head then I thought of a plan, then mindlinked Scott and set my plan into action.

*Ivy's POV*

I went back up to my room to take a shower and change for the day. As I was in the shower I thought about the letter. Which I destroyed when I got up here. I asked myself 'how am I going to get away from everyone? Let alone my mates again?' I let out a tired sigh and got out of the shower.

When I walked out I saw all three standing there looking at me with lust and worry and guilt in there eyes. I gave them a small smile to reassure them then turned to my closest.

After I got dressed I came out and they all started to apologize to me for leaving me alone. I stopped them by holding up my hand then smiled at them and whispered "its ok."

I was happy I was getting my voice back but it still wasnt back completely yet. My mind was racing in so many directions with everything thats happened I ended up blocking everyone out.

I dont know what to do, I dont want anyone to get hurt but I know that wont happen. If I go back to him I know everyone I love will die, and I know they will die even if I stay. If I let the boys mark me before I go I might die. In the end im going to have to decide whats more important.

My life or theirs, because in the end someone will die. Either by my hand or his.

We went down and had breakfast with the pack, then visited for awhile with everyone. My mind wouldnt stop thinking about what I had to do so I excused my self to go back to my room.

I would have gone and talked to Ryan about all of this, but he ended up having to leave to meet with another alpha for an alliance.

As I sat on my bed and I made up my mind I knew what I had to do. I grabbed some paper and a pincel and started writing.
