Chapter 17

Shay's POV

"She's dead. And she didn't give any informations." Dad said. 

I nodded, "Did she ever find her mate, though?" 

"She did." 

I turned around and saw Darren is hands stuffed in his pocket, "Darren?" 

He smiled, "But, she rejected him.. Because she said she don't believe in mates. That's why she kept on going back to me." He said, shaking his head. 

"Who is her mate?" I asked him as dad got out of the room, giving us time to talk.

"Dylan." 

"What?" I exclaimed as I quickly ran out of the room to Dylan's. I saw him on his bed sitting his hand on his chest as the other one was on his forehead, "Dylan?" I call as I knelt down in front of him, taking his hand from his chest, "If I knew.. I wouldn't order them to do it.. I'm sorry.." 

Dylan looked up at me frowning, "You don't have to say sorry.. It was the right thing to do.. and maybe she wasn't really the one for me, maybe my second chance is still there waiting for me." He smiled.

Tonight is the night. 

The rogues will attack tonight. 

I was about to get ready when dad stop me, "You're not going to fight, Rayleen." 

"What? But, I want to." I insisted. 

"Sweetie, you still have a broken rib." Mom said. 

Yeah, forgot about that. 

I got an broken rib while Cass almost broke her ribs.

"But-" 

She cut me off, "No buts." 

I sighed, "Okay.." I picked up Conan, "Come on, little guy." I whispered as we made our way to Cassidy's room. 

"Hey guys." She smiled as we laid down her bed. 

"I wanna fight, Cass." I said. "For Nate." 

"Yeah, I know that. I want too, but I can't." She said, "You can't either because you already broke one  of your ribs." 

I sighed, "It's just so unfair. I can't but Brian can." 

"He's a guy and he wants a revenge for his best friend." Cass said. 

Conan fell asleep between us. I sniffed, "What about Conan now? He doesn't have a dad anymore.."

I ran to the door as they all came in, "What? What happened? Did we win? Is he dead?" I asked frantically. 

"We won. He's dead. Peter's dead.. No more problems." Dad said smiling. 

I sighed in relief, hugging him, "Thank you!" 

"Shay?" I pulled away from dad and looked to see Darren scratching the back of his head, "Can I talk to you?" 

I nodded, "Uh sure." I smiled. We both went to the kitchen, I sat on top of the counter and waited for him to talk, "So?" 

"Peter.. He's an evil guy, he tried to include me by breaking you and Nate.. at first I wanted to, but as he tell me all he wanted to do to you and Nate. I backed out of it, I didn't want either two of you to die. Shay, I promise that when Peter told me that he's been planning on killing Nats before you I tried to stop him at the fight yesterday, but he was too fast. The silver knife stabbed Nate on his stomach, I tried everything I can but it was really too late to save him." He explained, taking my hand,
