Two Moons

Chapter Forty

Third Person POV

The fight was brutal, bloody, deadly, and horrible.

Chloe crouched in fear at the large black wolf hovering over her. Normally she would rip him to pieces, but he had higher ground. This would also be her first kill. Even though Chloe was a werewolf, she had never killed anyone, wanted to remain pure and kind. But she had to, in order to save her best friend. She snarled in his face, trying to push him back, but he only stepped towards her. The rogue wolf lead by Derek bit into her arm, causing Chloe to scream out in pain. Then, a large, brown wolf came barrelling into the black one over Chloe, ripping it apart. Chloe lay on the ground, holding her arm in pain.

'Chloe! Are you okay?' Chloe looked up, alert, trying to find her mate. She locked eyes with Josh.

'Yes. Thank you, I love you. Now let's go. We've got a war to win.' Chloe got up with no hesitation, although her arm throbbed. She was doing this for May.

*~**~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, Lena hovered over Alex, pressing a cold cloth on his forehead.

"I love you. Please don't give up on me, on May, Mom, on anyone. Please," her voice broke, trying to contain her sobs. She slipped her hand into his, squeezing.

But that faint squeeze gave her hope. Hope that maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay. She looked at him, feeling tears of joy glaze over her eyes.

"Doctor! He's alive, he squeezed my hand!" Lena laughed while saying thing, overjoyed with love and happiness. She gave Alex a kiss on his forehead, brushing his hair out of his face.

"I love you, don't ever forget that. I'll be here this whole time. Right here," Lena said, continuing to stroke Alex's face.

The door opened, revealing the pack doctor.

"I'm so sorry Lena, but I have to go tend to another patient in far worse condition. My son will take over. Don't look so worried, Lena," the doctor chuckled when he saw her horrified expression of a son, most likely inexperienced. "I've trained him, he won't mess up. I'll be back to check up on your brother soon. Tyler will be here in about five minutes." The doctor, Dr. Lyton left.

"Lena," Alex croaked out. Lena gasped at her name, at her brother's voice calling her.

"Alex! Oh my God, are you in pain? What do you need? The doctor will be here soon. What hurts?" Lena asked frantically. "Doctor Tyler! He is awake and need help now!"

"God, Lena chill. Water?"

"Of course," Lena stood up, scurrying around the room for water. When she identified the water bottle, she took a cup with shaking hands and poured him a glass.

"Here," Lena whispered, standing by Alex's bedside and letting him drink the water.

As footsteps approached, Lena didn't notice, because she was too busy crying at Alex's awakening. When the door opened, Lena looked back to meet light gray ones staring at her.

"Mate."

*~*~*~*~*~*~

One wolf howled in pain, while the other howled in victory.

Josh stood up, trying to find Chloe in the mass of dead bodies, fighting bodies, and bloody bodies. Josh shifted into his human form, grabbing a pair of shredded pants and pulling them on. Josh ran to find his mate, only to be attacked by one of Derek's sidekicks.

"You know," he gasped, his hands around Josh's throat, "I think this is a fair fight. Rogue beta against beta. Just us. Come on, let's do this."

"I think it's fair," Josh spat at him, shoving him roughly off of him.

"By the way, the name's Logan," the rogue beta smirked before shifting. Josh shifted, shredding the pair of pants he had put on moments ago. They circled each other, snapping their jaws at each other. Just as Josh was about to bite Logan's neck, a werewolf from behind bit him in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain and fall to the ground, blood gushing out of his stomach. His wolf whined in pain, calling out for his mate.

"You're a pathetic excuse for a beta," Logan spits on Josh's dying wolf after shifting and turning away.

"And you're a pathetic excuse for a person, but you don't hear me complaining. Yet," Chloe punched Logan in the face, the taking the dagger from behind her and shoving it inside Logan's neck. She brought her face right up to his ear, dragging him towards her using the knife.

"Guess you'll never hear me complain," she whispers before taking the dagger out and watching his body crumple to the ground. Josh smiles, knowing his mate's first kill was anything but easy, good enough for her to feel satisfied but not like a monster.

"You bitch! You just killed my best friend!" A boy, tear stained, pushed her. She killed him without hesitation because she knew he was the one to bite her love, her mate. She dropped her dagger, falling beside Josh. His eyes are half open, but a smile on his face.

"I love you Chloe," he whispered.

"No, no don't say that. You'll live, it's okay. You'll be fine, don't worry. I'm here and you're here and we will both make it out alive," Chloe sobs, her voice cracking with emotion.

"No Chloe, we both know I'm going to die right now. I love you. I'll always be here for you," he breathed out heavily. Chloe shook her head furiously, tears streaming down her face. She bends down and kisses Josh with all the love left in her heart.

"I love you, I love you, I love you," she repeats, staring into Josh's eyes. He coughs, blood trailing out as well. At this Chloe sobs harder, feeling like she's dying as well.

"Josh," Chloe whimpered.

"No. Shush. I love you, don't ever forget that. I will always be right here next to you, don't you worry your pretty little head. I love you and I always will. I'm so happy I can die next to you, my only love. Tell him, tell him. Tell him, tell him that I-," Josh stops breathing, and his chest collapses, releasing his last breath.

And then, Chloe collapses over him, sobbing in pain and hurt. A loud wail escapes her throat, signaling the end of Josh. The end of her love.

Lucas looks up, feeling a pain in his heart.

'Lucas, I, I love you man. Thank you.'

That voice repeats over and over in his head, the same voice.

Josh.

Okay, don't even ask me to be happy right now. I cried a lot while writing this, so I can't even fake happiness.

But hey it's my birthday today:)
