"jay!" i scream as soon as the pack house comes in my sight. 

i run faster and don't even bother to close the door behind me when i run in. i sprint to his room and pause in the doorway. he was sleeping. 

i slowed my ragid breathing and stepped in the dark room. i went to take another step but his eyes opened and he sleepily looked around the room until his eyes landed on me. "hey" he tried to smile. his face was completely washed out, any speck of color was drained. his jaw was covered in stubble from the lack of shaving. 

i took a deep breath and smiled through the pain of seeing him like that. "hey. how are you doing?" i stepped closer until i was next to his bed. i sat down next to him, making sure not to sit on his legs. 

"i'm fine" he coughed after the short breathed words. 

i frowed. "don't lie to me"

he took my hand and fumbled with my fingers. "if i told the truth it would only hurt you" 

"but you're the one who's hurt" 

"as long as you're fine.. i'm fine" he gave me a small smile. 

i shake my head. "no jay. you're dying. and i know i can help but you won't let me!"  

"i already told you.. you can't help"

"yes i can. you just won't let me" i frown and plead him with my eyes. when he doesn't show any response i look away from him and at the charcoal colored wall to my left and sigh. 

he shakes his head. "don't do that" he looks at our hands as he plays with my fingers. 

"do what?" i look back at him and he gives me a half smile, half frown.

"that" he motions to my entire body and circles over my face a few times. "being .. you" 

i laugh a little. "i have no idea what you're talking about" i roll my eyes but my cheeks turn pink with heat. 

his hand moves up and cups my chin. the corners of his lips curl up and i smile back. "yes you do" his vioce comes out in a whisper. his eyes flicker to my lips and without hesitation both of us lean closer, getting the kiss both of us have wanted since day one. 

****

Derek's POV.

they're.. kissing?!!

what the fuck!

i kick down the tree that was standing next to me in the spot where layla sprinted off the go save fucking jay. i spit. fucking jay. 

he finally figured out that layla can have two mates. but only because she's a hybrid. she's all kinds of special.. she doesn't even realize the potential she has. 

the stuborness of her father, the charms and seduction of her mother.. and the strength of both of them. 

she will become the most feircest warrior and i will mke sure of it! they're my orders! 

i just have to stay calm..

breath in.

breath out.

repeat. 

ahh.

i just need to focus on 'loving' the scank who is cheating on me right now.. and keep her away from jay at all costs. i need to keep my temper down and keep up my act. it's been going perfectly.

steam her up with words.. then cool her down with a kiss. 

it worked with leslie.. until her true mate found her and she figured out my entire plan..

damn her.

well layla isn't so love struck like leslie was.. not yet anyway. and i'm planning on keeping it that way. layla will fall in love with me. she will completely forget about jay. she will become the greatest warrior who ever lived.. and be a slave to my pack. my real pack.

Three days later

Layla's POV.

"where are we going?" i ask. annoyed from walking for so long. this was like when i first met him all over again. 

"we're almost there" from his tone of voice i could almost see the smirk on his face. 

"not this again" i shake my head and stop dead in my tracks. "i thought this was a redo date" i took his hands off my eyes and looked at him. 

"it is" he smiled. "this time i'm gonna get it right" he motioned for me to turn around and covered my eyes with his large hands again. 

we walk for a good twenty more minutes and i stop. "i'm tired" i whine. 

"good. cause we're here" he removes his hands and gives me a chance to look around. 

"seriously?" i take in my surroundings and raise an eyebrow. "here?" 

i look over at logan who was now sitting in the patch of lavender with scattered sunflowers. it really was a beautiful sight. 

logan reminds me a lot of derek. only his looks though. he has the same-ish hair, derek wears it up and logan wears it downand shaggy. they have the similar bone structure, they're about the same height (derek being a little taller), same nose.. the only differences are their eyes and their personalities. 

derek's eyes range from a blue to a brown. when i first met him i thought they were a miraculous chocolate brown, but since i've seen him in different situations.. his eyes tend to be blue when he's happy.  logan's eyes were blue all around. 

logan also cleans up his stubble while still having that dirty/ sexy guy look while derek just completely shaves it off. 

logan smiles up at me. "what?" he asks. 

"what. oh- uh.. nothing" i laugh. 

he extends his arms out. "lay with me" 

i shake my head. 

"why not?" he pouts. 

"because" i roll my eyes and sit on a rock that overlooks the ocean that extends beyond what my eye can see.

the meadow was on a cliff that hovers above the beach, and to be honest.. it kind of scares me. 

i wouldn't say i'm afraid of heights. i actually quite enjoy heights.. getting closer to the sky, hence 'the sky is the limit'. i want to see if it's really true. but then again.. i'm not the biggest fan of heights when theres a huge chance i can fall. 

i hear the flowers rustle behind me, but before i can turn around logan wraps his arms around my waist and picks me up off the rock. i screams and kick. "let me down logan!" i laugh. 

"this is supposed to be fun and you're over there pouting on a rock" he runs through the patch of flowers while holding me close to his chest.  

"i wasn't pouting!"

"it sure looked like it"

we both laugh when he trips over a small rock and we both fall, landing beside each other. laughing uncontrolably.. but snapped out of our trance when Derek's voice booms. "WHAT THE HELL!??!?!!!??!!!"

we stop laughing and look up at him. "hey man" logan says. 

"shut up" derek glares at him. "what are you doing here?!" he looks at me. i roll my eyes. 

"what are you doing here?" i say.  

"i'm sorry, but i believe i asked you first" 

"woah, chill bro" logan says, picking himself up then extending his hand for me. 

"i am not your brother. you made that perfectly clear when you left us" derek says through gritted teeth. 

"hold up.. brother?" i ask looking back and forth between the two of them.
