It felt like life was in slow motion. I glanced over at Ryley's unconscious body. Then over at Logan who was being held back. Finally I looked over towards him. The man who wanted revenge for something I didn't do, but was willing to let me take the blame, and the consequences.

"Come on." He said softly. "I promise that if you let me, your friend and mate will be OK. Not one scratch."

"NO!" Logan yelled at me, looking me in the eyes. "Don't even think about it, Gabbi!" He started to struggle in the mans grip.

"Gabriella, if you agree no one else will get hurt. I promise." I looked over at Logan in pain.

"Don't do it. Please don't do it." I felt the tears fall down my face as I watched him.

"I have to." I whispered, going to put my hand in his.

"NO!" Logan yelled loudly, startling him. "You don't! He's lying! He doesn't want revenge! HE WANTS YOU!" I looked at him, asking for the truth silently.

"Yes. I want you." He said, grinning evilly. "And I almost have you. G, knife it." 'G' put a knife to Logan's throat. Logan glared at the knife, but looked at me.

"Let him kill me." He said strongly, making more tear's fall. "My life doesn't matter. Get Ryley, and GET OUT!"

"No!" I yelled back. "If anyone's going to die, I will. Your life DOES matter, OK?! You're finally popular, you have friends, you have actually have girls running after you. You have people who CARE ABOUT YOU!" I couldn't help but fall onto my knees. "Your life matters, Logan. Maybe not to you, but it does to me." I paused, sighing slightly as the fight left my body. "I'm a loner and a loser. No friends, parent's who are ignoring me and a mate and a friend who I brought into a mess." I looked at him, placing my hand in his rough one. "Let him go before you do anything." I said strongly as tears fell.

"NO!" Logan yelled in pain, strugling. 'G' dropped the knife, dragging Logan away. "NO! I love you, okay?! GET OUT OF THIS, PLEASE!"

I looked at him, swallowing. "I love you, too." I whispered, closing my eye's. "But I can't make promises I can't keep, Logan."

"NO! You WILL!" He was almost out the door. "Promise me. Promise me NOW!"

"I promise!" I yelled at him, dropping his hand and letting my hand fall back to my side. "I promise."

"I love you." He muttered again, his arm wrapping around Ryley's waist to hold her up. "I love you."

"I love you, too." I whispered back, wiping away the tears. I looked back at him, his grin chilling me.

"Finally." He said, standing up straight. He towered over me, even though he was only a year older than me. "Finally, I get my mother's revenge out there. Finally, Claire get's what she wanted. Chloe in pain."

(A/N) Prologue! So, whattcha think?! Comments;D?! Votes?! THANK YOU! seren12<3!

EDIT: so it's been a while, huh? Yeah... I have no excuse for you, or none that would probably be of any substance. Other than just life. Life happened, I suppose. If you happen to check my profile regularly - for whatever reason you would do that, idk but anyways - you would notice that I have changed my profile thing to basically a letter of apology. Because if anyone deserves an apology it's you guys. This story started - especially to me - as something huge. After the surprise success of the first part of this series, I thought I could handle writing a full length novel with a similar plot line. However, my writing skills back then were pretty basic. I got so so into my plot points that I felt the need to seriously rush the story to get to the points that were interesting; and trying to combat that - and failing - the chapters were just nonsensical babble. Useless, in reality.
      This is not an excuse, and I really feel the need to emphasis that. This story started out as a serious commitment for me. I lost count of how many nights I sat on my laptop trying to figure the story line out (because this was, sadly, before the editing on the app became rather good, or better than it was) and concentrated on this rather than my school work. It can just remember it getting to a point where I had no idea how to link parts or the plot together, nothing I either wrote or thought about really clicked and it led to me, effectively, abandoning the story. It honestly breaks my heart to think about it that way, because while I constantly told myself that I had every intention of coming back to it, I knew somewhere deep down that I would just keep pushing it away.
    To top it all off, the laptop I had when writing this kind of nearly went on fire. Yeah. The fan was broke and some other technical nonsense I'm not too sure about but, for safety reasons, it was thrown away. With all of my stuff still on it. Because the man behind the counter at the shop I took it to deemed it too much of a 'risk' to turn it on for five minutes to put all my files on a pen drive. Safe to say I was not best pleased. So now here I am, a couple years later, with a new laptop and a new phone. Minus the original files for this story. Which I am gutted about because I had made notes on the basis of the plot line, which I now cannot remember for the life of me. So yeah. That was fun.
     Anyways, this 'little' note was just to say a massive sorry to everyone who was waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen with this story and nothing did. I'm not going to take it down, because I do hope that at some point I will come back to it and get reinvested in the complex stories of the werewolf community I built up, but I make no promises. I'm the mean time I will be taking a gander over the other chapters and possibly doing a mass edit on them (incase you were wondering, yes I have fiddled about with this chapter but nothing major has changed). I'm kind of undecided on what I'm gonna do with them if I'm honest, whether I'm going to rewrite it and hopefully rekindle my love, or just edit bits and pieces I'm not too sure yet.  I will probably decide within the next couple days because, as luck would have it, I'm on holidays (YAY).
       TL;DR- this story is not over. Not yet. It may take a while to actually finish, but I promise I will get to the finish line. Oh, also something about me being sorry🙄.
      It is kinda past midnight (nearing one am) here and I'm kinda tired so I think I'm gonna end this here. I may go on to edit the other chapters, idk we shall see how the night/morning goes. Thank you all again for being such amazing people. I truly adore you all.
     Remember kids; stay awesome!
