 " I heard that Nicole's coming back," Trent said. My heart pounded and I remembered all my mistakes.

*2 years ago.

*Brandon's point of view

"Nicole you can't move," I complained. Nicole was my best friend and I needed her more than ever. I was a wolf shifter and my father was sick. That meant soon I was going to have to take over my pack. At the age of 15 maybe 16 years old. I would be the youngest alpha my pack has had in a hundred years.

"I have to my mom got a new job and we are moving to California. I wish I could stay at least until your birthday, but they need her there by next week," she told me. I looked at her and felt bad. She was already upset over the move and I wasn't helping. Her blue eyes were filled with tears that I knew wouldn't fall until she was alone, she never cried in front of anyone unless we were watching a movie where the dog died. Then there was no stopping the tears.

"Can't you stay with us at least until my birthday?" I asked. She shook her head. "I can't do that to my mom," she whispered. I realized then that she didn't want to act like her father had. Her mom's job made her move around once every few years and when Nicole was only 3 her father couldn't put up with it any more and stayed behind for a 'few days'. They never heard from him since.

I brushed her dirty blond hair behind her ears and then gave her a hug. I couldn't stand letting her leave me. I knew I wouldn't leave her side until the minute she left. "I hate this, I thought we were here for good, we've been here longer than anywhere else. A whole 3 years." she told me and hugged me tighter. I rested my head on her shoulder.

The next six days flew by. I helped her pack and finished cleaning the house so they could put it up for sale. One time I got so upset that I had unpacked almost half of her room before she came in and yelled at me. She made me repack the whole thing by myself.

The day before she was about to leave I walked into her house. She jumped out and yelled surprise. I jumped and acted scared when in reality I heard her breathing from behind the chair.

"What's going on?" I asked. I sniffed the air and smelled cake. "Well because I won't be here for your birthday, I wanted us to celebrate," she said with a smile.

I hugged her and kissed the top of her head. For the rest of the night I tried to act happy, I should have been. I couldn't though because I knew that tomorrow I was losing my best friend.

The next day I went to the airport with them. I hugged her right before she went through security and gave her a kiss on the cheek. As I watched her walk away I felt my wolf break and it was telling to chase after her. She turned around and waved.

I stood there for a while. "I know how you feel kid, my girlfriend is going to France for culinary school," a guy next to me said. He had the same look on his face that I knew I had on mine.

"She's not my girlfriend she was just my friend," I told him.

"That's what I used to tell myself," he said, "but I'm going to surprise her in a few weeks and go propose," he said and walked away.

A few days later my father died. We cremated him and had a pack ceremony right away. We mourned him and all shifted into wolves howling at the moon. I had someone stay at my moms side when it was time for my ceremony to become the next alpha. I didn't want her to do anything drastic, most mates committed suicide when their partner died.
