The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 14- Taylor

Ending of the Chapter 13

We went downstairs and found everyone there.  Everyone was crying.  I was confused.

"What happened?"

My father comes up to me with tears in his eyes.

"It's Steve."

"WHAT HAPPENED?"

"He's dead."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I felt my heart drop.  No.  Steve can't be dead.

"No," I mumble.

"Honey, I'm sorry I know..."

"NO!"  I ran out of the room.  Shifting into my wolf form, I ran to my secret spot.  He can't be dead.  He was here yesterday, the day before when he saved us.  Wait, that was a week ago.  I never said thank you.  This is all my fault.  I was to busy crying and feeling sorry for myself, I never realized that I have not seen my best friends.

When I got to my spot, I shifted back.  I sat down and curled up into a ball.  The tears started to run freely. He was so young.  He never even found his mate.  I will never forgive myself for leaving him. 

I do not know how long I have been sitting there.  I got up and stared at my reflection in the water.  At that moment I vowed to get vevenge on whoever did this.  I do not know who, but I will find out.  I can't let this person do this without some sort of consequences.  I will kill him.  

I made my way back to the pack house.  It is dark.   People are probably worrying about me.  Before i could get inside, Alex walked out.

"Taylor, where have you been?  I was worried about you.  Are you okay?'

That did it, the tears are coming again.  Alex pulled me into a hug.  

"Baby, I am so sorry about Steve."

"It....is....all....my....fault.," I managed through sobs.

"No, no, no, it is not your fault. Why would you think that?"

"I was not with him.  I was not there to help him when he needed it.  Whose fault could it be if it is not mine?"

He pushed me away and then grabbed my face.

"It is not your fault.  How were you supposed to know?  You couldn't have.  It is not your fault, okay?  You have done nothing but be a good friend to him.  He loved you.  He wouldn't have blamed you for his death."

I wrapped my arms around his waist and held on tight. He picked me up and carried me to my room.  When he layed me down, he wrapped his arms around my waist and fell alseep with me.  I am the luckiest girl.

That night I dreamed about Steve.  

He was running.  I am pretty sure he was in the woods.  He was running to fast that everything was too blurry.  He was running from something that wanted to hurt him.

He got to a dead end.  There was no way out.  He turned aroud, and there stood a big black wolf.  Before he got a chance to defend himself, the wolf charged at him then everything went back.

I woke up screaming. I felt someone touching me, and that made me scream even worse.  I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.  Before I could run out of the room. Jake and Mike popped out of no where.

"Taylor. Calm down," MIke said grabbing me.

"I saw it.  I saw how he died.  Mike, he never got.....to...defend...himself," I started crying.  

"Shh," he said while pulling me into a hug.  I cried into his chest.  I felt hands on my back and saw Alex and Jake.

"Taylor, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scary you," Alex said with tears in his eyes.

"It is not your fault," I said while going into his arms.

My father ran into the room looking worried.

"What happened. Taylor, are you okay sweetheart?"

"Yeah."

"She saw how Steve died," Jake said.

"How," my father asked.

"I don't know.  She woke up screaming, then I tried to calm her down, but she ran before I could," Alex answered.

"Dad, it was scary.  Do you think it is because I am the white wolf that I saw that?"

"Maybe.  Go to sleep, then in the morning you can tell us."

I nodded my head.  

"Come on.  I'll help you," Alex said.  

"Thank you," I mumbled.

We headed upstairs to my room.  I got into bed feeling worse then I did when I fell asleep the first time.  Alex wrapped his arms around me making me feel protected. I am so glad that he is here.  I would have suffered if it wasn't for him.

 I fell asleep a little later dreaming about nothing, complete darkness.
