The Alpha Who Killed My Pack Is My Mate?

Letting Go; The Formal Intro Of Bryant

  Mai's Pov

~Thea?~ ~y...yes?~ ~What's wrong?~ ~My link with you..... is weakening..~ ~What do you mean??~ ~If, nothing gets better.... I might disappear.~ ~What? Thea!~ Thea's link with me suddenly became blocked. No matter how many times I called out to her, she wouldn't answer. I started crying.

"Mai, is there something wrong?" Zander asked when he came to the room, when he saw me crying her rushed to my side. "My.. link between me and... Thea... is weakening. I can't even hear her anymore!"  I sobbed. Soon Zander started crying as well. "Mai, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

His fault? What did he mean it was his fault? He has done nothing wrong to me. "What do you mean Zander?" He looked into my eyes and all I could see was pain. "I neglected you. And now your sick. Its all my fault." He neglected me? I mean sure we haven't spent that much time together but I already knew the reason. Being an alpha has it's duties and I can't stop him from running his pack. But what does that have to do with me? "The doctor said, that if I keep spending less time with you, the bond will weaken and you may die." Die? Me? I've never come close to death, especially with Thea by my side. But if our link weakens, will the chances of me dying actually heighten? I cannot let that happen.

"Mai,  I... I have to go." Zander whispered. "Already? What... what about helping me with Thea? What about helping me live?" He looked at me with a pained expression on his face.

I know what I have to do. I don't regret meeting Mai, and I never will. I honestly love her with all of my life and I would die for her. But I can't stand seeing her sick. And I know I definetly won't stand her dying. The doctor told me the only way to save her, from myself, is to let her go. At first I was furious. I tossed tables, destroyed my office, I couldn't talk to anyone for hours. But I finally understood what he was talking about. When I said that I had the perfect life, I lied. I get mad easily, and my damage ends up fatal. I killed a lot of people, mostly rouges, but I'll never forget the time where..... I killed the most important person in my life. My mother. After my father had died in the battle, I went crazy. He was my role model, the one I looked up to the most. I locked myself in my roomfor days, with no food, no water, not even light.

I thought I was better. I thought that I could forget the night where I shoved a silver knife in my mother's heart. I just snapped. I really don't know what happened after that. I didn't even go to the funeral. But now that my mate is in danger because of me, I just...It just brings back the wrong memories. I can't explain more of what happened. At least not yet. So I should just end it right now before thee worst happens. She can just forget about me, as much as a mate forgets about the other. She just has to. That's why I called the pack physic to help me. She has the power to make someone forget a part of their memories. So she's supposed to meet with us in a minute.

"Zander?" She looked at me with a confused face. "I'm so sorry Mai." I didn't even try hiding the pained look in my eyes. "Sorry? Sorry about what?" The physic walks in and says, "Ready to start?" Mai looks even more confused. "Zander what's going on?" she asks worried. "Mai, ever since I made eye contact with you, I fell in love. Your existence gives me the will to live. The will to love. I love you so much, with all of my heart. I'm sorry, but you need to forget about me. It's for your own good." I kissed her lips passionately, savouring the contact and the taste of her. It'll be the last time. As soon as I let go Mai started crying. "What's going on? How can I forget about you, you're my mate, I love you!" The sight was so painful, I had to look away.  I nodded at the physic and she quickly placed her hands on her head and started chanting words that I couldn't even understand. I told the physic to drop her off at her cottage when the spell was done. I just walked out of the room tears streaming down my face. I could hear Mai screaming my name. "Zander! Zander come back! Don't leave me! Please! Zander!" Then there was a silence. The spell was done. She severed the bond between me and Mai. She won't remember me. I could feel a severe pain all over my body, it caused me to scream in agony. Was the moon goddess punishing me for destroying the precious bond that she created?

I ran away with all the strength I had. I went to my room, the last place Mai was before the accident. I wantedto savor her smell so even if she forgets me I would never forget her. Did I do the right thing? Was listening to the doctor really worth it? Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Black. That's all I could see. I didn't remember anything. The last thing I actually remember was showering in the lake at the back of my cottage. I don't remember what happened after that. It's just all a blur. I slowly gained concious and my eyes fluttered open. I was in my bed. The bed I've been in for years. I got up from the bed and started walking around. I somehow stumbled outside trying to figure outnwhat's going on. Why was I unconcious on my bed. Did I pass out? Did someone attack and then just leave me there? I felt weak. I lost my step and then fell to my knees. Then I saw a shadow flicker in the darkness. I think it was about 2 a.m. I readied myself for whatever was there. "Who's there? What do you want?" I shouted. Then I heard a footstep from behind me. I quickly turned around to meet a guy. He was taller than me and had silky black hair. He had blue eyes that even in the dark you couldn't miss.

"Who are you?" I asked. My whole body was alerted, though I could tell that my body wasn't fully awake. "I'm... Bryant. Don't worry I won't cause you any harm. But, you have to come with me." "Why?" "I'm sorry, I can't tell you that right now, he might hear me. But you should come with me, you'll be safer." "What do you mean he? What do you mean I'll be safer? What's going on?" "Look, I told you I can't explain right now. Are you going to come the easy way or the hard way?" He smirked at me like he would prefer both ways. I decided to run. He looks like a dangerous man and I don't think it's worth going with him. I ran as fast as my condition could go towards the nearest pack. Maybe if they see that someone was chasing me, even if I was a rouge, they would help me. But sadly, my runwas cut short when he pounced on me. "I... don't think you want to go in that direction, red." Then he staretd to carry me deep into the woods. I screamed and pounded on his back. But he acted like he couldn't even feel it. "Why are you doing this?" I said, exhausted. "I'm doing this to save you." He smiled at me, and then he said no more.
