Lost (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 12

I wake up to something warm and heavy on top of me. I immediately pushed it off me and heard a grunt before it slammed back on top of me. I was winded and sat up with a "oof!"

I rubbed my eyes and looked down to see a gigantic wolf which ,might I add that I have seen before. Alexander's gigantic wolf heaf which laid on my lap,snoring a little. 'How the hell did he even find me?!' I thought to myself.

He started moving around and his eyes opened. He licked my face and snuggled his nose into my stomach. Great. Now I have his slobber all over my face. I wiped it off as he got up and grabbed his bag in his mouth before going behind a wall and shifting.

I got up and grabbed my bag, taking out some biscuits and started eating. Alex sat down beside me and grabbed a piece and ate it before hugging me.

"Why did you run away?" He asked me, sounding broken. "Because you would get hurt if you followed me so you should really go back." I told him, finishing up the last few pieces of biscuits.

"Babe, let me help you. We have tunnels connected to places all around the city for emergency. If you still don't want to take the tunnels then we can take the car. Please, Clarissa. Let me help you." He begged.

I sighed. What do I do now?! Do I push him away or follow him? Before I could answer him, my wolf took over and nodded her head.

STUPID WOLF

Alex smiled at me and his eyes fogged over, probably mindlinking someone. His smile turned into a frown.

"We have to go." He told me seriously. "The pack is under attack." I jumped up, grabbing my things and ran down, shifting into my wolf with Alexander following behind me.

We ran as fast as we could back. He is the alpha. He needs to be there for his pack. Especially while they are under attack. To protect them. Fight with them. And I stopped him from being there. All because he was looking for me.

As we neared, the smell getting so disgusting I wanted to puke. It smelled like a boy's locker with something decaying inside. Alex just growled and kept running.

When we arrived, it was chaos everywhere. Children and pregnant women were being ushered off while warriors were fighting. I saw Jace out on the field, being pushed into the pack house. He had a panicked look on his dace. When he saw me, he sprinted towards me.

He didn't see it coming.

But I did.

Yet I was too late.

"Watch out!" I screamed but it was too late.

It was all too late...

A wolf had jumped onto him and grabbed his neck in its jaws and crushed it while clawing at him.

No.

No.

NO!

THIS CAN'T HAPPEN!

NO!

NO!

THIS ISN'T REAL!

NO!

IT'S A DREAM!

THIS ISN'T REAL!

I shifted into my wolf, my main purpose to kill and only to kill. I pounced on the wolf, clawing his face and growling at it. It tried to attack me but I dodged it and grabbed its neck between my jaws, crushing it

The metallic taste of bloos filled my mouth but I wasn't disgusted. I was satisfied. I was satisfied because I was getting revenge. I clamped my jaws tighter together until the rogue wolf stopped moving and went limp.

I dropped the wolf onto the floor.

I kneeled down beside Jace,whimpering. I nuzzled my snout in his hand, taking in his scent for the last time. His hand was still a little warm. But you could barely tell that. And he was dead. My best friend is dead.

I cried, remembering all the times that we spent together. Since we were young. I thought if the little world that we created and entered it with my mind. I unlocked my door and walked to his.

The door swung open, creaking a little. Hung all around the room was pictures. Memories. Of us together...

I took them all down. All of them, keeping them with me. The walls were starting to crumble but I didn't care. I imagined a replica of what he had built right next to mine.

I walked back to my house and hung everything up. Every single picture and memory of us.

I watched from my window as the walls collapsed until it disappeared into nothing.

I left our space, built together by the both of us, and back into the real world where everything was chaos.

I opened my eyes tk see dead rogues laying all over the floor.

I looked around to see Alex sobbing next to a dead body. His beta. Aaron.

We all lost someone close to us today. I kissed his forehead, closing his eyes which were wide open with fear.

"Goodbye Jace... I love you. I'm so sorry..." I said as Alexander asked a few of his members to take the deceased all to the morgue and prepare them for the cermony.

I didn't know what ceremony but I trust Alex with my life. I know he won't do anything to Jace.

I walked up to our room slowly, thinking through all the times we spent together.
