Secrets Kill

The Struggle- 11

Sitting alone on my bed I heard a pounding at my door.

" Atlanta! Please open up!" Decebel yelled. How could I possibly explain that I wasn't who I said I was? That I wasn't human, and in fact an superhuman being? I didn't know if I could bring myself to do it.

" Please love! I need to talk to you!" Decebel sounded close to tears. I had no choice. Wiping my eyes I headed downstairs and opened the door.

" Atlanta." Decebel breathed. He took my face in his hands and kissed me like I was dying. Not breaking the kiss, I closed the door and walked over to the couch. We broke apart and he sat me down.

" Tell me everything, love. Leave nothing out." And so I did. I told him about not being human, about my missions, about how I was supposed to kill him and about my kind. And he didn't interrupt me, listening and only ever wiping away my tears.

" But Decebel," I sobbed. " I can't kill you. I can't bring myself to do it. But I know they'll kill me off I don't."

" Then you must kill me. If they kill you I will die anyway. You are my mate, even though you are not wolf. If you die so do I."

" But how can I be your mate? I am from Onyx. Athena told me that only wolf a d wolf can mate."

" Well she lied. People from Onyx half a small bit of wolf blood. We could mate. Right here and now. They could never break us apart."

" I want to Decebel, I really do but I know that whatever we do they will find me and kill us both."

" Then we must leave. Now. We can tell the others. They already know."

" But they can track me." I gestured to my arm. " They will always find me with this."

" We will cut it out. I know it's going to hurt be we have to."

" I know love. Do it." Decebel grabbed a knife from the kitchen and dug it into my arm. He felt it a pulled it put. A small metal disc, no bigger than my thumb nail.

" Here," he chucked me a bandage.

" Wrap it up. I'll call my alpha and you call the others." He walked upstairs and I wrapped the bandage carefully but tightly around me arm. I grabbed my phone and called the others to explain the situation. They all agreed to be over soon. I just hoped that Athena hadn't found out yet.
