~*~Raoul's P.O.V.~*~

I was up early in the morning.  Not like I had been able to sleep much anyways, not when my wolf and I mourned the presence of our mate.  I still didn’t know, didn’t believe, that what my precious mate said was true.  I cared too much for her, I would protect her, not hurt her.  But at the same time I felt like my wolf was hiding something from me.  I growled in frustration as I finished shaving.  I growled not only in frustration but in need as well.  I needed Nathina, even if she didn’t know she needed me herself yet.

A low mournful howl froze me in my tracks.  My wolf was immediately on alert and we were racing through the hallways, knowing it was Nathina.

I flew down the hall toward my mate and stopped dead, seeing Shara and Carra white faced outside of Nathina’s room.  I looked into the open door and saw her red and white wolf snarling at me.  Then she leapt for me and I was pinned under her great weight.

I stared into her beautiful, unusual blue eyes, unmoving, afraid of the pain I saw there.  Then I was blasted by her wolf snarling at me.

Why! She snarled at us through our link.  I went stone cold at the force of her words.  This was not Nthina I was talking to for sure.  Why did you hurt us this way!  She is not ready for this!  This is not the proper way!  She did not want pups this early!  WHY DID YOU BETRAY US!

She sprang off of me then and fled, leaving me as still as stone.  My mind raced at her words, especially one.  The word pups repeatedly circled in my head.  My wolf whimpered and I slowly stood up, leaning against the wall for support since my legs shook and my head swam.

It wasn’t true, it couldn’t be true.  I didn’t want to believe.  I couldn’t believe it.

My wolf was unresponsive.  I realized then that he knew all along.  Realizing I knew, he whimpered.  I walked into the bedroom, heading for the bed, when the bathroom light caught my eye.

I walked toward it to turn off the light when my mate’s scent came at me full force.  I walked in unsteadily and saw what was in the sink.  Without a doubt, they were my mate’s.  And without a doubt, it was true.  It was all true.

I sunk onto the cold hard floor, holding my head.  “I’m so sorry, Nathina,” I started to sob.  “I’m so sorry.”
