{Elliot}
{The next morning...}
I wake up the next morning alone and the bed is really cold. I get up and walk out of my bedroom door and down into the living room and see that everyone's there but Dalton. "Has anyone seen Dalton this morning? He wasn't there this morning when I woke up, and I'm a little bit worried about him." I ask and Kyle nods his head at me. "He left pretty early this morning, but he told me to tell you that he'd be back later and that he loves you." Kyle says and I nod my head before I walk into the kitchen. "Well okay then. I'm just going to make some breakfast." I say before I start to make myself some waffles, come to think of it...a waffle is basically a pancake with tire threads on it. (A/N That was some Owl City wisdom for today!)

{Later that day...}
I'm in my room facing the ceiling listening to music when the door swings open and Dalton walks through the door with a tired look on his face. "Dalton!" I shout excitedly and run up to him before I wrap my arms around his neck and repeatedly kiss his face and lips. He picks me up and carries me towards the bed and lays me down by his side before he closes his eyes and drapes an arm over his face. "Hey! What's wrong?" I ask and he doesn't answer me. I pull his arm away from his face and make him look at me. "Hey Dalton. What's wrong with you? You can talk to me about anything, you know that right?" I say to him and he sighs before he lays his head down on my stomach. "I know." He mumbles and I nod my head. "What's wrong with you?" I ask again and he looks up at me. "There was a problem. The werewolf that I killed to save your life was an Alpha. Apperantly you were his mate, and I killed him because you're mine. I wasn't going to let anyone take you away from me. His pack said that they were going to take you away from me since I took their Alpha away from them. I've been worried out of my mind trying to find all of them before they could get to you." He explains and I look at him with guilt in my heart. "I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have done that for me. I'm not worth the trouble." I say quietly and he looks at me like I'm bat carp crazy. "Not worth the trouble? You're my whole world, Elliot. I'd do anything for you. It doesn't matter what you or anyone else does to break us apart...I won't let them." He says with seriousness in his voice and I give him a sad smile as I stroke his cheek lovingly. "I know that you would, Dalton and I'd do anything for you. But that scares me." I whisper and he pulls me closer to his chest and I sigh. "I'm willing to do anything for the people that I love, and I only love you." He says and I smile at him before I give him a small kiss. I feel him physically relax against my lips and I can feel all of his worries melting away. "Do you feel any better?" I ask in a quiet voice and nods his head. "As long as you're with me, I'll always be perfectly fine." He answers honestly and I pull myself up to face him. "Can I play with your hair?" I ask and he nods his head before laying his head down so that I could reach it. I'm playing with his hair when I start to sing softly.

"Did I drive you away? I know what you'll say. You'll say 'oh, sing one we know'

"But I promise you this, I'll always look out for you. That's what I do.

"And I know I was wrong. I won't let you down, oh he will, he will. Yes I know he'll.

"Say ah, ah, ah, ah I saw sparks
I saw sparks, yeah I saw sparks.

"Sing it now. La, la, la, la"

I finish the song then doze off.
