I'm gonna give all my secrets away..."

Kaden's POV

I paced around my room and a growl rumbled from me. Whom was growling I'm not sure.

That's the past focus on Amelia! Knight snarled at me and part of me broke for a moment.

You knew what she meant to me damnit! I can't just forget about her. I groaned inside. Knight snarled at the thought. I had tried to put her in the back of my mind, tried to erase her, but she was still there.

You need to forget about her! Rain is my mate now! We mated with her! She's ours, now deal with it! Knight badgered.

We aren't mated fully. I thought back which was true; we hadn't marked each other again. Knight growled in response. I nodded and ran a hand down my face. My hands shook softly.

I wanted to remember her. I wanted to remember her soft red hair, those striking green eyes, the thrill of her--

Stop it! You do not think of Emma! He howled and for a moment everything stopped. Neither him nor I had mentioned that name since the day of her burial...

My Emma... I felt tears pricking my eyes and I wiped them away.

Emma had been the one to save me. Even if we weren't official mates... she was my first love; and I lost her. She'd been killed by rouges when we were sixteen.

I'd already felt the connection beforehand. I'm not so sure if she could too, but I knew that she'd felt something.

I hated rouges from then on and when Amelia was attacked that day, it brought the memory of that horrible day to surface. The day I'd tried so hard to forget...

My bare feet crunched against the soft grass as I walked outside.

"Kadey! Kadey!" A familiar voice yelled happily and before I knew it I was being tackled to the ground by a red haired angel.

I hit the ground hard and instantly rolled over pinning her underneath me.

"Pinned ya." I said with a smirk and the girl looked up at me with a frown and a playful glint in her electric green eyes.

"Making 'Lion King' references huh?" She said and I smiled as she saw through it. I shrugged and sat up and she did the same.

A chuckle rumbled from me as she stood and yelled, "Hakuna Matata!" She threw up her hands and the wind caught her hair and I stopped laughing and watched her in awe.

She was beautiful.

I smiled softly at knowing this was who would be my mate. She just didn't feel the connection yet...

"Stop." I groaned shaking off the memories.

She'd died that day and it was my fault... I should've stayed by her, but I left to check the border and when I returned... rouges had got her.

'Kaden.' Her pained voice echoed in my head and I shuddered pushing it away.

I ran a hand through my hair and sighed.

Amelia and Rain are ours! Emma and Fawn were weak! They're gone Kaden! Gone! Stop thinking of them! Amelia is our future, they are the past! Knight snarled and paced inside of me. A dull amount of pain was in the wolf's heart, but it didn't compare to the pain he felt at not being with his true mate, his Rain. He wanted Amelia and her wolf, wanted me to forget, but I couldn't.

You used our mate... if you were having doubts you should've said something, yet you told her you wanted her and bedded her... You used the bond for your own gain-- Knight barked and snapped his fangs, rage surging through him.

Emma was my everything! I retorted and Knight let out an angry howl.

Emma was your nothing! He barked. His teeth bared in frustration.

She was nothing compared to Amelia. Emma was weak and a fool compared to her. AMELIA is MY ONLY LOVE. The only one I want, yet you deprive me of my wants! She's coming soon, back home like you wanted; what will you do when she gets here? Ignore her? Fight your wants, my needs? He spat and spittle flew from his jaws. His eyes were crazed with rage.

I remained silent and stared out of the window.

They always say the wolf is the monster, but I see otherwise. Knight growled before blocking me and trotting away into my mind.

So what do you think about that?

Are Kaden's past actions falling into place with this revolutionary chapter?

What will Amelia think? That is if he tells her...

What about Knight?

I'm out,
