I thought that I'd been hurt before, but no ones ever left me quite this sore.
Your words cut deeper than a knife, now I need someone to bring me back to life.
Got a feeling that I'm going under, but I know that I'll make it out alive
. If I quit calling you my lover, move on.

Mae's P.O.V.
It hit me like a truck. The scent swooshes out and I feel Dom's wolf near and fully out. My brain and heart tell me to go to my mate, to console his wolf and mate with him immediately. But my gut says to run like hell.
I seen Dom hit the wizard Z; I turned away before I had to witness the pain in his smile. My wolf starts to panic as my thoughts are torn between running and mating. I look back, hoping Dom has a little control.
But noooooooo, cause why would a male wolf have any control at allllllll.
My off gray colored paws take off sprinting. They pad quickly across the dense floor of the forest, and I once again thank my small, light size for my agility. The sound of Dom's heavy paws fills my ears, even over the sound of Riley's howl. All I see is a blur of trees, animals and wild flowers. Internally, my wolf cries she begs me to stop, to stop running, to stop hiding from my mate. She doesn't understand though, she wants to mate to get pregnant, to carry his pups. But I can't, I'm not ready.
Ash's P.O.V.
The pain was unbearable. I'm not exactly sure how I am going to deal with this, how we are going to deal with this. Hot tears stream down my face and all I can think about was how much I have disappointed Riley. I just want to give him the family he always needed, the family the pack needs. But I can't even do that. Riley crushes my hand like it is his last life line; tears falling ever so quickly down his red cheeks. The doctors rush in, the tails of their lab coats flying behind them, reminding me of superheros rushing to fight a losing battle. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be their one hit wonder win.
The doctors try to touch me, but Riley won't let them. His hands embrass the throat of the doctor. My screams are useless, his wolf is fighting the battle I feared.
Mate over child.
"Alpha, Luna. I need you both to calm down. " a deep voice reaches threw the chaos. Riley snaps his head to the calming, deep voice. A boy, no older than I, caked in mud and blood stands at the door. Instinctively all the wolves sniff to scent this unfimilar face.
"The fucking nomad wizard." Riley's irritation quite evident.
"I knew your father, Alpha. Your mother as well, Goddess rest their souls." He crosses himself before continuing. "I can help your mate and unborn child."
Riley releases a soft but menacing growl under his heavy breath.
"How?"
"I am a wizard proficient in life saving." The dirty boy calmly walks to my side, the doctors hold Riley back, his teeth only half bared at the man. " Ash, this is going to feel weird." His cracked and callused hands caress my exposed belly. He spins his hands expertly and I feel everything shift. My babies release the pressure on my organs and once they stop moving start to sleep. "Postemu hartuuek juhigt felics nortula." The whispers of the foreign language comfort me oddly. "I have removed the curse. Or at least part of it. Basically, I gave you time."

Dom's P.O.V.
She smells amazing. My little mate running from me like a scared little kitten. She is in for one hell of a fucking. Slowly I gain on my sexy little vixen, her wolf smaller and quicker than mine but not as motivated as mine. Trees blur as I run after her at top speed, the leaves and twigs crack indefinetly under my heavy paws. Birds chirping and the whimpers of my heating mate fill my ears but I do not stop.
She is going to pay for running. She will be taken tonight. Neither of you can stop me. My wolf whispers hauntingly and the words echo in my head. Before I can comprehend what he said, I am pushed out of control and airbourne with Mae as my target.
She better run.
