I was shook awake by the woman that spoke with Darryl what feels like years ago back in the palace walls about how I would never come back to claim my mate. About how I was too stubborn to do so. She brought me to my feet pushing me to the entrance of the cave, the lights were bright. Too bright I couldn't see anything. I had slept and been beneath the caves far too long. It was taking my eyes longer to adjust than the usual few seconds for any other werewolf. My hearing on the other hand was perfectly in tact.

"There she is!" It was Tom's voice, oh, Tom's sweet, sweet voice. Let me memorize it. Let me relive this moment again, and again, and again. I don't want to go anywhere. Suddenly I was in his arms, and I could see his unforgettable face. The eyes captivating me one last time. Maybe, maybe this wasn't the last time. Maybe, all they did in there was threaten me to keep me in line. I could only hope though. I held on to him tightly.

"I love you Tom, I love you with all my heart. That will never ever change...." There was gunshot off in the distance. I didn't need to feel the indescribable pain in my chest to know it was me that was shot. I didn't need to see the look of shock on Tom's face either. Yet, both of these things were my confirmation that I had been the one to be shot. He grabbed onto my body as it fell limp into his arms.

"Lucy, Lucy! You can't leave me! YOU CAN'T EVER LEAVE ME." I knew these words were not the last words I wanted spoken between us. I also knew that it was my time to go. Even though I was taken from him. On some level I felt that it was my time to leave. That this was going to be his push to be whatever great leader our species needed. "I love you."
