I awoke the next morning with my bare back touching Ace's bare chest. Omg! What happened.

I looked down to see if my clothes were still on. Oh thank the moon goodness they are. Phew!

Still, what happened last night? It dawned on me. My scars. I quickly got up just to be pulled back down.

"What are you doing!", I hissed through clenched teeth. My scars may be back to normal but after last night they still hurt as if they were fresh.

"Oh sorry", Ace said sounding half awake and half asleep. He let go of me and I ran to the bathroom. Once I got in there I looked in the mirror.

My scars were red but healed. I decided to take a shower so I locked the door. When I got in, I let the nice hot water run down my skin.

Suddenly there was a burning sensation on my back. I felt this before when I was with Jake. When he cut me, he put me under burning hot water to give me more pain.

I bit my lip to hold in the scream that threatened to come out with every drop of water that fell on my back.

My lip started bleeding because of how hard I bit it. There was banging on the door. "Dakota are you ok? I smell blood", Ace yelled through the door.

"N-no I'm fine", I stuttered through gritted teeth. "Ok", he said. I let out a breath.

It's not nice to lie to our mate.

I don't have time for Alina's stupid feelings.

Whatever, by the way our mate is going to try to get information from us, about us to be exact.

Suddenly her presence was gone. I could barely feel her.

Shit. I fucked up bad.

'Alina?'

No reply. What did I do! I'm so stupid. I could feel myself getting weaker by the minute.

Something came over me. It was like I couldn't control it. One moment my side is clean and the next it's bloody. Damn it!

I cut again!

After an hour I finally got out. I know, I take long showers. I forgot my clothes. Or should I say Ace's clothes.

I grabbed my fluffy green towel and wrapped it around my body tightly. As soon as I opened my door, I quickly tip toed out of the bathroom hoping that Ace isn't there.

Nope my hopes are gone. As soon as I took my third step, I was pinned up against the wall with my hands above my head.

The only thing keeping my towel on is the fact that I folded it just in case. Ace's eyes were black. Honestly, I was frightened.

"B-Blake?", I stuttered. "Yes little mate?", he asked almost evilly. "Please don't", I pleaded.

"Why don't you fight back then, I know you can", he smirked. "N-No I can't", I managed to say.

It's obvious that he is trying to get information. I guess I had to tell him eventually.

"And why is that little mate", he asked almost daring me to fight.

"You already know", I sighed. "My pack is gone along with my power"

Blake's eyes turned back to brown as tears stung my eyes. I looked away. How dare this sorry excuse for an alpha, use his wolf to get information that he already knows. 

He let go and walked to his closet. I stood there frozen like an idiot. "Here", Ace said bluntly then through me some clothes.

I ran to the bathroom and changed. Once I got out, Ace was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands.

I approached him cautiously. "Are you-", I started but was interrupted.

"Why didn't you tell me!", he yelled," we are mates you have to tell me everything!".

I stood there speeches. As I stared at the ground I bit my lip, trying to hold back the tears that are threatening to spill.

"I-Listen, this isn't such an easy thing to talk about", I yelled back. Ace just stared at my stomach intently.

"So what's your point", was his only response. "Oh my god! Yes, I fucking lost my pack!", I yelled chocking back tears. He just continued staring at my stomach still. Had he even been listening.

"Are you even listening!", I said out of breath. "What did I tell you about the cutting?", ace asked slowly which made me scared.

His breathing became ragged and his chest rose up and down really fast. I could tell that his wolf is getting angry.

"Answer me! I said what did I tell you?", he demanded. In a flash he was in front of me. I gasped as he stopped himself from going any further by grabbing my waist.

"I-I um", Ace cut me off. "You what, thought I wouldn't notice or find out", he yelled. I winced at His tone.

"Ace..", I said but quickly stopped when I noticed, that's not Ace anymore. It's Blake.

"Blake it's nothing", I said with a shaky voice. "Really nothing", he said. Blake roughly pulled up my shirt, causing me to yelp in pain.

"This is nothing!", he put his hand on my cuts, knowing that it would hurt. "Blake please stop it hurts", I cried.

"No! This is what your deserve, I told you not to do this", he spat. His claws came out and he dug them into my side.

Memories came flooding back.
