A Beasts Love

Chapter 13

" we've met before, long ago before.." I cut him off my mind blown away.

" please I think I would have remembered meeting you." I rolled my eyes, I would have met someone as... Handsome as Rylan before.

He shook his head slightly and sighed... Again.

"Just hear me out okay?" He asked his pale eyes searching mine, I didn't say anything so he continued

"You were young, really young only 1 day old and I was 4. I was so young I usually wouldn't have remembered it but my wolf remembers and when I was old enough he shared the memories with me. My wolf is so strong he was always present , always has been. The moment I met you my wolf knew, knew you were mine." He sighed again and turned his back on me

" we were in different packs but my mother had a sign from the moon goddess that my other half was in danger so they took me to every pack to try and find you. It took 2 months before we actually reached your pack and found you."

I felt my muscles stiffen

" but you said I was 1 day old, if I had been born late you would have passed my pack." He nodded at me

" yes but it wouldn't have happened the goddess wouldn't have sent us on a wild goose chase." His back was still to me, his head tilted up to the sky, black hair shimmering in the moonlight.

" when I found you, I remember one thing that has stuck with me for years. Your eyes, they are like a life boat to me, always have been. After I found you my father had to go back to the pack, he was the alpha of the pack. Mother and I stayed behind, I said on video that I would never leave you and I remember needing to be near you all the time even if it was hold your tiny body in my arms. I needed you but a couple days after my father returned home, you were ripped away from me." His voice cracked and I could feel my heart doing the same.

" it wasn't even that late, the sun was only going down when the howls started,warning howls that someone was on the territory. I didn't even wait a second before I was out of my cabin running towards your house but there were wolves every where I didn't know who was who, I had only shifted once of twice before. I tried to get through but I couldn't, I tried to shift and slip through but I couldn't get through the wolves. I lost my mother in the fight, she had ran out after me... To protect me." He turned back towards me his pale eyes dark with sorrow and guilt.

" when I made it to yours there was blood.... So much blood. I couldn't find you, my smell was overwhelmed I couldn't smell you. I ran into the woods and found them...." He looked at me and swallowed hard.

" my parents.." I whispered and he nodded

" i tried to find you again and again I tried to track you but I couldn't. I spent 4 days trying to find you but I couldn't, I feared you were dead but I still felt the connection to you so I knew you weren't. I decided to return to your pack and get my mother to call pack trackers in but when I got back... There was only a handful of wolves left, including my mother. She wasn't well through, her leg was mangled and she had internal injuries. They said she could die any minute to me, they called my father and he was on his way. The ground was littered with the dead. I stayed with my mum till my father got to her hospital bed, she kept muttering random things like 'the queen is crowned' and 'the angels fall' I never understood her... She died later that day.... It tore my father apart." Rylan turned away from me again looking back at the stars.

" he wanted to die, he would have killed himself if It wasn't for me. I had lost my mother and my days old fragile mate, I needed him so he lived , he looked for you, I looked for you but I couldn't find you. On my 16th birthday I was allowed by werewolf law to take over the pack, so my father handed it over to me.... He killed himself, all the years without my mother was torture for him and it was what he wanted, just to be with her." I gasped, Rylan's parents love seemed so pure, so loyal.

" I had to run my pack I couldn't look for you everyday but I had pack members looking for you everyday." He sighed running his hand through his hair.

" I took a weekend away from the pack to look for you when I got threatened. Someone left a note under my motel door telling me you belonged to them. I was confused and angry so I tried to track them when I ran head into your brother. Literally head on, we tumbled down a hill. We got to talking and he handed me a black book with notes from your parents written in it. They explain all types of things including the reason for that attack long ago." I was stunned into silence.

" you, they came for you." He turned his head back towards me.

"W-what? Me ?! " I felt speechless my tongue dry like a desert.

"Yes you. It turns out you were never meant to be mine. The goddess made a mistake when she paired us up, she had planned for you to be someone else's. she had made a promise to this other person that you would be his son's mate and when you weren't, he was angry so he tried to take you by force, but you got away," he said softly taking a step towards me his pale eyes longing for something

" the goddess told me herself we are perfect for each other, told me that when I find you , you will be my other half, you are my other half Reagan." I nodded

"You said you didn't want me!" I snapped and he took a step back straightening to his full height

"I know and I was stupid to say that, but you were to close to him, if you told anyone about me you might have been taken again." His voice darkened became more of a growl.

" who?" I asked hesitantly

" the mate you were suppose to have, the son of the murder that ordered the kill on your pack."

I leaned forward slightly anticipating who it was, my thoughts reeling. Rylan's eyes darkened till they were almost black and I gasped, scared for my 'meant to be mate' but I knew what happened to him, he had coming. No one I knew could ever be related to someone who ordered a kill on my family, not Cruz, not Kye, not Hudson, not Wil, Not Hunter, not Craig, no one could be related to such a heartless person.

Rylan growled one name that shock me to the core.

"Hunter"
